Minister Conger atlPehin has been
instructed to inform the Chinese to

Russia's demands inManchuria and
their effect on Americat interests were
the subject of conference this after
noon between Secretrys Hay and
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor, that occurred at Secretary Hay

.sRwssia's Contention. d
Russia's reason for contendingS4or
the closed door in Manchuria is the
uaim that the open door is not Va
commercial, but a political question.
She continues III assure the United
states that in some way this country g
interest will be protected in Man
ehuria. The point is made that as the
Manchurian demands are still in ne
gotiation between st. Petersburg and
Pekin, the United States can not ex.
pect .lnat Russia will make conces.
sions until the fate of her demands
| has been determined. When China
has acceded to all or these demands
It is suggested thatta trade agreement
| of some sort can be reached between
this country and Russia which will
Eprotect our trade interests.
!, Approaching the fact that the inter.
ests of this country in Manchuria are
those of trade and not territory, Rus
sia,, it is stated, is disposed to make
certain trade concessions to the United
states in Manchuria at the proper
time.
Even those Chinese newspapers
which previously have been moderate
in tone now join in the opinion that
the time has come for all powers In
terested in the prosperity of China and
her development of trade opportuni
