THE MANCHURIAN AGREEMENT
Russia Becomes the Actual Owner,
While China Retains Nominal
Sovereignty.


London, Feb. 2S.-The Pekin correspond
ent of the Times, wiring yesterday. gives
a precis of the draft of the Manchurian
convention. 1t says:
Russia requires China to sign a con-
vention consisting of twelve articles. The
first says the Car is willing to forget
the recent hostiIties in Manchuria and
consent to allow China TO resume the civil
government.
THE other articles virtually place COM
plete control in Russian hands. They ex-
clude Chinese troops and forbid the i'm
portation of arms. They demand the deg
radiation of the high officials implicated
in the recent disturbances, and exclude
persons of any other nationality from
holding official positions in Manchuria or
drilling Chinese soldiers or sailors any
where in Northern China.
Article eight provides that in Manchu-
ria, Mongolia and Chinese Turkestan, no
railway, mining or other concessions shati
be granted to persons of any other ma
tionality, nor can China herself construct
any railroad.
No land around Niu Cwhang can be
leased to foreigners. The remaining
clauses deal with indemnities. So far
as the military expense is concerned,
Russia VIII act in conjunction with the
other Powers. AS regards indemnity
for the destruction of the Manchurian
Railway, China shall arrange with the
railway company itself and a commercial
concession may be accepted in part pay
ment."

CHINA WILL FOOT THE BILL.
Estimates of the Cost of Germany's
Force Submitted-TrOops May
Remain Another Year.

Berlin, Feb. 27.-Supplementary esti-
mates were presented to the Bundersrath
to-day. They ask for an additional 12O,-
$4,000 marks on account of China, Of
which 100,2OOO0O are for the army and H.
10000 are for the navy.
The memorandum of the government
says the objects of the expedition are un-
changed The intervention of the Powers
has produced u slow but steady improve
ment in the situation in China. Large
military undertakings are no longer nee
essary, but small expeditions are operat-
ing to restore order 1t is not permissible
at present to reduce the German forces,
owing to the military pressure which nray
be necesasry in the further negotia tions
relating to the indemnities. For that
reason the maintenance of the expedition
is provided until Jan. 81, 1902 though
probably part or the Whole Of the force
will be withdrawn before then.
The sum of 10000 marks is provided to
acquire more ground around the German
legation.

MORE TAXES TAKEN OFF.
Insurance Policies, Thcaters and Cir-
cuses Are ReIieVcd-CiEar Tax
Remains at $3 Per 900.

Washington, Feb. -. Tho Republican
conferees on the revenue reduction bill
have reached an agreement on many of
the items in controversy, in addition to
those on beer. tobacco. bank checks and
medicines, heretofore given. The House
provision repeating the tax on insurance
policies, life and fire, are retained. The
Senate provision regarding conveyances OF
real estate, etc, are preferred over those
of the House, which made a complete re-
peal of all taxes on conveyances The
Senate provision eXempts conveyances un-
der $3.50, and imposes a tax of % cents
for each $500 over S. 500. The numerous
special taxes on theaters, circuses. exhi-
bttions ore taken Off as provided by the
House. Beside the compromise of $50
cents on tobacco, the cigar rates come
In for much discussion. But owing to
some question as to the rights of the con-
ferees over this item, the rate on cigars
probably will remain at 500 per thous-
and.
The understandn ng thus far reached is
looked upon as likely to be fnal although
the conterees themselves say that no for
mai agree mtnt has yet been arrived at
aud 1t will not be until the Democratic
conferees are called in that a final agree
ment can be made
The So rate on cigars Is that fixed by
the House and is repeal of the entire 60
cents added for war purposes. The SEN
ate proposition was to take off half OF
the so cents, making the rate $3.50
a new proposition has been agreed up
on as to the steamship tickets. the tax
being fixed at 80 cents OH each $50 and

London. Feb. 27.-Gen. Frenchs most
recent success, combined with the other
advantag ges gained by the British forces
in South Africa, have created, a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press learns,
a most hopeful feeling in the war Off e
here. Lord Raglan, Under Secretary for
War, described it to-day as being the
thin end Of the WEDGE and this also
IS the opinion of the military critics, who
reiterate that while the war cannot be
expected TO end with a sudden str Ike
this constant capturing Of men, guns,
supplies and horses means that the OPP
estions will soon be reduced. to. a dacoit
stage Gen. French is quite the hero Of

Gen. Kitchener's controlling hand is rec

It is felt by Mr.. Brodrick and Lord
Roberts that so long as the British forces

aoe objective at present in sight. 1t is
not believed to be at al likely that Gen.
