YOKOHAMA, Sept. "a Pekin tel

firmed at Toxic, says the Russian min
lister has proposed the postponement
of the evacuation of the Kirin and
Amur districts of Manchuria, set for
Oct. 8.
LONDON, Sept. 9.-The Times cor
respondent at Pekin telegraphs two
fresh conditions that M. Lessar, the
Russian minister, included in his note
to the Chinese foreign board, pronis-
Ing to begin the evacuation of Man
churia on Oct. 8. The first condition
is that Russia be allowed landing
stages on the Sungari river, with the
right to guard them with Russian
troops, and the second is that Russia
snail have the right to maintain Rus
sian post stations along the main
route from Tsitsihar, capital of He'll
ungking, to Bagovestschensk China
objects strongly to both conditions
Russia specifies that the Kirin prov
1nce shall be evacuated four months
after the Heilungking province, a year
after the evacuation of Mukden. China
protests against this also
The correspondent concludes that
the attitude of the Chinese officials
seems less hopeful of an early settle

vey the members of the family to the
depot.
Shortly after 4 o'clock Mr.. Nicols en-
tered the room of his wife, where she
was engaged in packing a trunk, and
handed her some articles to put away.
