ARE AFRAID TO REFUSE.
The Demands Of Russia Embarrass
the Chinese.

SV9 OUtVe0Ss
PEkIN, March 4.-Prince Ching
and Lii Hung Chang met this morn
ing and had a long consultation over
the new demands of Russia regard
ing Manchuria. which virtually mean
absolute Russian control, while at
the same time China would be re-
sponsible should anything go wrong
there. Both of the Chinese pleni-
potentaries admit that they fear to
refuse these demands, although rec
ognizing that compliance means the
loss of a province to China. They
also think that compliance might
mean trouble with other powers. for
Russia announces that only Russians
and Chinese will be allowed to trade
there, except at the greatest disad-
vantage. Prince Ching will request
the advice of the other ministers.

RUSSIA PRESSING CHINA.
To Rush Through the Manchurian
Treaty.

LONDON, March 4.-Sir Ernest
Satow and Mr.. Conger, after consult
ing with the missionaries, have de-
cided, according to the Pekin CORE
spondent of the Morning Post to re-
ject the Chinese proposition, made on
the suggestion of M. Picheon that
they should act as representatives
of the Ministers of the powers to
discuss with the Chinese plenipoten-
tiaries the missionary question, and
the claims of native converts.
"They are convinced, however"
says the correspondent, that the
Chinese are ready to agree to some
arrangement for settling this mat
ter"
"The Russians are taking advantage
of the existing situation and are
pressing LII Hung Chang hard to
ruch through the Manchurian conven-
tion," says the Pekin correspondent
of the Times. more than one power
besides Japan and Englend have re-
monstrated with China against the ne.
gotiations that are proceeding at ST..
Petersburg. The time has come when
the powers would be justified in
interfering in order to prevent China
negotiating with single power, while
the peoce negotiations remain uncon.
cluded"
Commenting editorially upon its Pc.
kin advices, the Times says:
1.-THE United States and Germany
might perhaps be supposed to recog.
nize the mischief China's policy en-
tails, but President Mckinley at all
events seems bent on peace at any
