Berlin, Aug. 15.-Baron Schlippenbach,
Russian consul at Chicago, who arrived
here yesterday said:
THE world may now consider Man
churia a closed incident. The great ma =
lions will hail with relief the incorpora-
ton of that province into Russia. For
three years nobody has been able to say
whether the province was Chinese or Rus

Manchuria knows with whom he must
deal. 1t is to Americas interests that
the whole question of the open door has
ceased to be debatable, since wherever
Russia is there is the open door. Inter
national complications are improbable. If
England or Japan or any one else intended
to dispute our purpose, action would have
been forced on us just as the Philippines
