Washington, Feb. 8.-While details
OF the negotiations cannot be deveI-
oped here at present, confirmation is
10 be had of the report from Peking
that the United States government
is acting with Japan and Great Britain
in resisting any action by Russia and
China in the shape of a Manchurian
treaty that would threaten the inter
ests Of the United States in that i'm
pOrtant section OF the east The state
department has made perfectly clear
to Russia its purpose to retain what
ever trade advantages it has in Man
churia; and its determined attitude in
that matter probably has prevented
the summary closing Of Manchurian
ports to any but Russian trade. The
questions now involved namely those
relating to mining concessions and the
right TO construct railroads in Man

IN importance to the question of the
