ests of this country in Manchuria are
those of trade and not territory, Rus
sia, it is stated, is disposed to make Ger
tain trade concessions to the United
States in Manchuria at the proper time.
LONDON, April 27.-In dispatch
from ST Petersburg, dated Saturday,
April 25, the correspondent there of the
Daily Mail says he. hears from an au-
thoritative source that China has ac-
cepted the Russian proposal to modify
the existing Russo Chinese commercial
treaty in so far as it regards the du-
ties at the lake boundaries. After the
negotiations with the Tsung Ii Yamen,
the correspondent continues, the Rus
sian minister formulated the following
conditions:
First-The importation of Chinese arms
into Manchuria shall be taxed accord
ing to the discretion of the Russian Gus
toms authorities, and China shall agree to
construct at Kalagan a manufactory to
supply material for the projected Russo
Chinese railway to Pekin, which will pass
in the vicinity Of Kalagan.
Second-China shall establish in Rhar-
din an administrative body for the pur-
pose of insuring the rights vested in the
gold mines which are now being worked
by Russian engineers.
Third-AIl Russian goods sent to Cen
trail China shall be entirely free of any
Chinese customs charges.
Fourth-Russia and China shall jointly
agree henceforth to close the door in
Manchuria to the goods of all powers.
This agreement, concludes the corre-
spOndent, will come into force after the
opening of the Manchurian railroad. 1t
shows plainly says the representative of
the Daily Mail, the intention to make
Manchuria a Russian province.
SHANGHAI, April ga mass meet
ing has been projected to be held here
tOn1OrrOW The Chinese from all the
provinces will be present and will urge
the government to make no concessions
to Russia concerning Manchuria.
1t is reported among Chinese Off
cials here that Japan has made a forb
NAL demand upon Russia that Manchu-
ria be evacuated forthwith.
A Russian gunboat left here today
for New ChWang.
LONDON, April 27.-The Times
correspondent at Pekin says in a dis
patch that he has ascertained that the
fourth demand in the Russian docu-
ment in the Manchurian affair, name
ly that the present status of the ad-
ministration of Manchuria is to re-
main unchanged, does not apply to
Manchuria, but is a demand that the
administration of Mongolia shall not
be changed. The object of this demand
is to check the suggested alteration in
the government of Mongolia by which
it was contemplated to transfer Mon
golia into a Chinese province.
The foreign office, continues the
Times correspondent, has formally
agreed that Russia is to retain 100000
taels, receipts from the New Chwang
customs now in possession of the Rus
so-Chinese bank, as an indemnity for
repairing and protecting the Shan-H
kWan-NeW Chwang railway .

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 26.-
Russia's demands in AIanchuria and
their effect on American interests were
the subject of a conference this after
noon between Secretary Hay and Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador,
which occurred at Secretary Hays
house, and lasted for nearly an hour.
1t is denied that the ambassador
brought official advices from his gov
ernment, but the fact that he is suffer-
ing from an attack of lumbago which
has confined him to the embassy for
several weeks is evidence of the ur-
gency of the call.
Steps have already been taken by
the state department to ascertain the
true inwardness of Russia'S latest
move. Ambassador Mccormick at st.
Petersburg, has been instructed by ca
BILE to present to the Russian foreign
office note which while diplomatical-
ly known as one of inquiry, is in sub
stance a strong protest against Rus
sia's demands. Cabled instructions
have also been sent to Minister Con-
ger at Peking to express to the Chi
nese our hope that China will not ac-
cede to Russia's demands.
No answers have yet been received
to either note, though unofficially as
surances are still reaching the depart
ment that American interests in Man
churia will be protected. In the de-
partment's note, which Ambassador
Mccormick has probably presented al
ready, Russia's attention is called to
the assurances which have repeatedly
been given the United States relative to
the preservation of the integrity of
China and the continuance of the open
door policy. Russia is also reminded
of the severe blow to American trade
which must follow the granting of the
first two demands, that no more ports
or towns of Manchuria be opened and
that no additional foreign consuls be
admitted.
Russia's reason for contending for
the closed door in Manchuria is the
claim that the open door is not a COM
mercial but a political question. She
continues to assure the United States
that in some way this countrys inter-
ests will be protected in Manchuria.
The point is made that as the Man.
churian demands are still in negotia-
ton between st. Petersburg and Pc
king the United States cannot expect
that Russia will make concessions un-
til the fate of her demands has been
determined. When China has acceded
to all of these demands, it is suggested
that a trade agreement of some sort
can be reached between this country
and Russia, which will protect our
trade interests.

MORMONS WOULD
LIVE IN GERMANY
Missionary Cannon Intends
to Ask the Permission of
Emperor William.

BERLIN, April 26.-Hugh J. Can
non, the Mormon missionary, intends
to appeal to Emperor William for per-
mission for the Mormons to remain in
Germany, hoping that his majesty's
policy of religious tolerance may in
clude the Mormons.
In his petition Mr. Cannon sets forth
the morality of the Mormon doctrines
and refers to the inability of his ad-
versaries to cite any example which
the Mormon teachings have been sub
versive to the laws of the state or of
orderly citizenship; declares also that
by the command of the supreme head
Of the church polygamy is not taught.
Mr.. Cannon last Wednesday sent to
the emperor and empress copies of
the book of Mormons in German. If
no aid is extended to the Mormon
missionaries by Emperor William and
if the orders of expulsion are enforced
all the missionaries will leave quietly.
Mr.. Cannon expects the United States
to intervene in cases where the mis-
sionaries have been maltreated, as for
instance in the affair at Olsenbruek,
Prussia, last January, when two mis-
sionaries were dragged through the
streets of the town and imprisoned for
three days. They We're deported to
Hanover, where they were again placed
in Jail, and later sent on to Hamburg.
Affidavits of these occurrences have
been forwarded to Senators Kearns
and Smoot, who, it is stated here, have
asked Secretary Hay to demand an
apology from Germany in this matter
on the ground that American citizens
were treated brutally.
Among the converts to Mormonism
made in Germany are several police
men who were sent to observe the mis-
sionary meetings.
