New Chwang. Manchuria, Thursday,
Oct. S.-The Russians are taking no
steps to restore the government of New
Chwang to the Chinese. On the con-
trary they are fastening the erection
of extensive government buildings, and
have added another gunboat to the
naval force here.
Reports from Northern Manchuria in
dictate that no movement has been
made towards the evacuation of that
territory, and Russian officials are dis
cussing the permanent occupation of
the points held now as being settled
policy.
The Russian viceroy, Admiral Alex
Jeff. has been conducting joint naval
and military maneuvers on a great
scale in the vicinity of Port Arthur
this week. Ninety Russian war YES
sells of all classes were engaged.
A Challenge to Japan.
Yokohama, Oct. 9.-The leading pa
pers, in voicing Japanese opinion to-
day, show unusually intense feeling on

of Toxic says: 1.-The patience of the
people has reached the extreme limit.
Though Japan only asks Russian full
fillment of treaty pledges, yet Russia
is apparently challenging her to a con-
test"
The Asiah, also of Toxic, arguing on
the same lines, points to the moderate
Japanese attitude and the long serious
provocation," but indicates Japans de-
sire to maintain peace, while Russia's
attitude has been uniformly arbitrary
and aggressive
Both papers quoted consider that time

Russians Not JingOes.
st. Petersburg, Oct 9.-The state
ment, published in the United States
yesterday by a news agency that an
anti-Japanese war sentiment prevails
here, is false. Russian society is alb
solutely not given to "Jingoism,' the
government remains peacefully dis
| posed, and the Foreign ONCE disclaims
the slightest sentiment of hostility.
The newspapers here publish ex-
tracts from the Japanese press, in
dicating hostility to Russia but the
Russian editorials preserve studied
| calmness.
Diplomatic circles are aware that
the situation inspires some uneasi-
ness but they believe that the gov
eminent anticipates a peaceful solu-
ton.
Washington, Oct. Sir Chentung
LANG Cheng, the Chinese minister, had
a long conference with Secretary Hay
to-day regarding the situation in Man
churia.
The minister received information
some time ago that there was no ap-
parent movement on the part of Rus
STA indicating that that country would
begin the evacuation of Manchuria on
Oct. 8, as agreed and as stipulated in a
treaty made with China. The Chinese
minister naturally feels keenly the con-
ditions which exist, as it is everywhere
known that China is in no position to
enforce the treaty and compel Russia
to evacuate.
At present the concern of the United
States is to see that the agreements

in Manchuria are carried out regardless
of what Russia may do, either in evac-
uation or in permanent control of the
