PEKING, April 2S.-China has given Rus
STA what the officials describe as a final and
definite refusal to accept her demands re-
garding Manchuria.
Russia's Alleged Intention.
TOXIC, Japan, April 2s.-The Jill to-
day published dispatch from Picking. In
which its correspondent quoted the Russian
minister saying that the effect of the
remonstrances of Japan and the other
powers would be that the statesmen now
paramount at st. Petersburg would decide
to incorporate the three provinces of Man
churia in the Russian empire.
Demands Probable.
No response has come to the State De-
rartment as yet from either Ambassador
Tower at St. Petersburg or Minister Con-
ger at Picking to the inquiries respecting
Russia's demands in connection with Man
churia. The officials are in a state of sus
pense and uncertainty in view of the rad
ical conflict in the semi-official dispatches
from the Russian and Chinese capitals. The
statement from st. Petersburg attributed
to the foreign Office and published this
morning would probably be accepted with
out question were it not fact that Min
lister Conger himself confirmed the press
report from Peking of the scope of the Rus
sian demands. So In the absence of official

prevails here that these Russian demands
were really put out in tentative form last
week and not In regular official shape.
There is good reason to believe that the
Chinese government itself let the demands
leak out in order to obtain the support Of
the powers in Its refusal Of the Russian
tenders.
Original Demands Given Up.
Noting the intense public excitement over
the proposition, the Russian government, 1t
is surmised, took steps, through the state
ment issued in St Petersburg yesterday to
abandon several of the original demands.
1t is not doubted that such reduction of the
maximum demands was fully within con-
temptation when the tentative statement
was thrown out.
If this assumption, general in official cir
cles here is we'll founded, then Russia will
ton of the United States trade treaty with
Moukdam and Takushan.
On the other hand. the fourth demand,
characterized by the st. Petersburg state
ment las unimportant,9 Is not SO regarede
here, for 1t amounts to an indefinite con-
tinuance under Russian direction Of present
conditions in China which Will stop all re-
form movements. 1t is now learned that In
the original statement Of this fourth de-
mand, namely, 1.-The present status of the
administration of Manchuria is to remain
unchanged there was an important ele
ment of error and the word Mongolia
should take the place OF "Manchuria."
The demand as thus modified continues
the status quo in all north China.

Address of the President Refers to
Crime and Lynching.

Philadelphia, September 16.-Nearly
1000 delegates were present today at
the opening session of the National
Negro Baptist convention, every state
and territory in the country being
represented.
Rev E. c. Morris of Helena, Ark,
presided and in his annual address re-
ferred at considerable length to pre-
vailing crime and lynching. In the
course of his address he said:
Let us consider that most of the
blood curdling outrages committed
against the pure Womanhood of the
country are charged to members OF
our race. There is room to consider
whether or not We have made Sufh-
clent effort to restrain that element
that is bringing such disgrace to the
race and shame upon the country.
am sure there is no sympathy in the
breast of any true man for the wretch
who has fallen so low as to commit ar
outrage against any woman
Dr.. Morris was reelected president
Of the convention.
