Secretary, That Certain Features
Agreement Are Considered Particu-
lariy Antagonistic to Our Interests.
v Antaaonistic to Our Interests.

Pekng, April 2S.-Minister Conger
has sent a note to Prince Ching, the
grand secretary, protesting against
two features of Russia's proposed
Manchurian agreement, which are con-
sidered particularly antagonistic to
American interests.
The note objects to China promising
not to open more towns to foreign
trade. because negotiations are pro-
crossing in connection with the Amer
lean commercial treaty for the open
ing of Mukden and Takushan, and it
objects to promising that the foreign
employees in China shall only be Rus
SLAMS.
The United States wthholds express
sion regarding the other demands, but
is prepared to insist on her treaty
rights if infractions occur.
