Prince Ching's Refusal.

Pekin. July 22.-Prince Ching, the pres
ident of the foreign office, has written
to United States Minister Conger, re-
fusing to open towns in Manchurta. In
his letter he dwells upon the imposst-
bility of China opening to foreigners
towns which are not in her possession.
but which are held by Russian troops
and points out the complications which
would be likely to follow.
1t is believed here, however. that d
compromise may be reached by Including
one town, Ta-Kuns-KaO. In the new
commercial treaty.
Hay Will Turn Screws on China.
Washington, July 23.-The state depart
ment has heard nothing recently from Mr..
Conger respecting the Manchurian nego-
tiations, so it is suggested that the Pekin
report to the effect that the Chinese gov
eminent through Prince Ching has de-
clined to open any Manchurian ports re-
fers to a phase of the negotiations da ting
about two weeks ago.
The reason for this suggestion is d
knowledge on the part of the officials here
that before Secretary Hays departure
for his summer home the Chinese gov
eminent actually did pledge itself to open
two or moro ports in Manchuria. 1t is
not deemed proper here to indicate how
these pledges We're secured whether
through Mr.. Conger at Pekin or the Chi
nese minister here, but as to the fact there
can be no question. If. however, there
has been any change In the Chinese atti-
Jude since this pledge was given, it is
said here that the United States govern
ment will not be moved thereby, but.
holding fast to the pledges already given.
will insist on the ports being opened.
Respecting the plea attributed to China
in the Pel1in dispatches that she cannot
open the Manchurian ports because they
are in the possession of Russian troops
and officials. 1t is pointed out here that
as several weeks and even months must
necessarily elapse before the new treaty
can be made and become operative. there
viii be ample opportunity for the Rus
slams TO evacuate the desired ports If
