RUSSIA DECLARES
PACT HAS LAPSED
Sne Repudates the Manchurian Convention With
1hna---t Looks Though Either Russia or JaDan
Would Fight Should the Other Remain ImmovabIe in
Its Position-.-Delcate Balance May Be Disturbed.

hohOHAMA, Oct. I'm. Lessar.
Russian minister to Pekin, has an
nounced that the Manchurian conven-
tion has lapsed.
The Manchurian convention he
tween Russia and China was signed
April 8, 1902 and according to il the
evacuation of the three Manchurian
provinces was to be carried out in
three successive periods of six months
from the signing of the convention. A
note from MLassar was appended to the
convention declaring that "if the Chi
nese government, notwithstanding the
assurances given by it, violates any
provision of the convention. Rus
sia will not hold itself bound by any
of the terms of the Manchurian agree
ment nor the agreements previously
made on the matter, and will repudiate
any responsibility or consequences
that might result therefrom."
China was to be permitted whatever
forces she thought necessary in Man
churia after the evacuation of that
territory. Russia also agreed, if Tien
Tsin was restored to the Chinese with
in the first six months, to evacuate New
Chwang at the time this restoration
was made. The allies turned over Tien
Tsin to the Chinese Aug. 15 last year.
The convention was to have been rat
ified within three months, but this
was not done.
Last month M. Reichin, in his note
to the Chinese foreign board, promised
to begin the evacuation of Manchuria
Oct. 8, provided China accepted sew
eral conditions, which China has re-
fused to do, under pressure principally
from Japan and Great Britain.
Baron Won Rosen, the Russian min
lister to Japan, is still waiting instruc-
tions from his government in the mat
ctr of the negotiations now proceed
ing between Japan and Russia A
