and Keeps Them There.

New York. May 1S.-AccOrding to a
special from Washington to the Herald.
Russia's efforts to facilitate the neg0-
tfations respecting China and to hasten
the withdrawal of foreign troops from
the celestial empire are the subject Of
an official note, a copy of which has
just been received in Washington. 1t
contains the first complete official state
ment of the course of the Russian gov
eminent that has been made The
statement of Russia's policy was made
simultaneously with her official decla-
ration that while maintaining the pres
ent temporary situation in Manchuria
in order to preserve peace, the imperial
government is content to calmly await
events. It declares virtually that Rus
STA has kept steadily in view the fact
that in sending her troops into China
no hostile intent was entertained
toward China; on the contrary. their
presence was for the purpose Of render
ing effective aid to the government OF
China in its struggle against the in
Surgents.
