RUSSIA'S AIMS OPPOSED
MANCHURIAN TREATY NOT f PER-
FECTED AT PICKING.
Objections Raised by the British,
American and japanese Minis
ters-Boxers Killed.

PEKING, Feb. 6.-The British, American
and japanese ministers here have renewed
their opposition to the Manchurian ar
engagements between China and Russia. 1t
is probable that this action will result in
the further postponement of the consum-
nation of this treaty.
The powers opposing the Manchurian
treaty are now beginning to recognize the
force of the representations of the Chinese
plenipotentiaries that China is making the
best terms possible for herself. and Incl
dentally for the equal rights OF the other
nations in China and are shifting their
protests to Russia as the responsible party.
Paul Lessar, the Russian minister here, is
~endeavOring to maintain the transparent
diplomatic fiction that the Manchurian
treaty and the Russo-Chinese bank agree
ment are not related. He has informed his
colleagues that the Russian government
has no official knowledge of the negotia-
tons of the Russo-Chinese bank. The
Russian agents are playing their parts with
the greatest regard for appearances, while
NJ. Lessar is arranging the treaty with
China The manager of the bank, NJ. Poca-
tillo, one of the most able and trusted of
the Russian agents in the East. is negotiat-
ing the bank agreement with wang. we
Shao. In the light of the statements of
Chinese officials, which were repeated yes
terday, namely, that Russia insists upon
the simultaneous signing of the Manchurian
treaty and the bank agreement, the repre-
sensations of NJ. LeSsar fall to carry
weight. The native newspapers are filled
with stories that Russia is trying TO gain
her ends by offers of heavy brides.
Germany remains a disinterested spec
tator of the affair. Chang Chi Tung, the
viceroy of Han-Kow, and Liu Kun VI. the
viceroy of Nan-Kin, continue their efforts
against the treaty. They are cooperating
with the Japanese minister.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
here has seen a draft of the agreement
This provides that China shall build all
railways and develop all mines in Man
churia. If she is unable to the
capital she shall apply to the bank. If the
bank is unable or unwilling to enter into
arrangements China may apply elsewhere
for capital. The final clause stipulates that
the agreement shall in no wise impair the
existing rights of other nations, which
clause is palpably nullihed by the preced-
ino conditions

Lists are to be furnished him by the Ger
man embassy, the President and Mayor
Low. In addition to the names on these
lists the firm will. invite a number OF
friends and fellow-shipbuilders. 1t was to
prevent a too wide distribution of courte-
sizes that the authorities have been careful
to restrict the number of invited guests.
Every name must be vised by the secret

NO PINEAPPLE CORNER.
Chicago Dealers Say One Firm Cannot
Control the Murket.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Chicago fruit dealers
doubt the report that Mills Brothers, o.
South Bend, have cornered the Cuban pine
apple market. L. G. Kunze, State-streer
dealer, said: 1T is a market which could
not be cornered because the output could
neither be controlled nor handled. 1t is a
winter fruit in this market, but could not
be put into cold storage in any large guam
tity because il turns black and rots as
soon as taken out. The Mills nave som
stock. but I do not think it amounts TO
over twenty or thirty carloads. Again. the
Cuban pine will, from now on, be in active
competition with the Florida fruit, which
is in every way superior. Florida is full of
pines this year. and within three weeks
they will be arriving In large quantities"

that Congress has recognized them in this

in their favor. Such a course on the part
Of Congress will be a great aid in giving

Tobacco would be benefited somewhat, as
would also sugar, the product of this latter
article amounting to about liz, 1000 or 100000

That is a theoretical expression. but we
