ing that New Chwang and Moukdcn

Oct. 9. undertook that China shail he
permitted to resume administrative
right In the three provinces Of Man
churia under certain conditions, but the
report Is regarded as well founded.
The japanese legation says;
Three events, II the reports are cor
rect, have occurred which are calculas-
ed to simplify the situation, namely. the
Russian terms which NJ. Lessar has APP
parently presented mark the abandon
ment OF the proposals which the pow
ers found Objectionable; Russia has an
nounced her withdrawal from Man
churia and Corea. These are secret. and
II IL impossible to foretell the outcome
but we are hopeful that the results

ators Of the Wyoming region look upon
the decision of Umpire Wright, giving

there Is disposition to make Increased
use of the inland waterways, whether
rivers or canals, The value of these
means OF transportation Is coming TO be
realized more and more. In France and
Germany and portions OF Russia the
quantity OF freight carried By water
is Increasing more than that carried by
rail There Is a strong movement Cor
the improvement OF the inland water
ways and there is a growing opinion al

are improved, II would seem that
Europe affords better opportunities

various reasons the field Ia not much

adopted towards the two methods OF
transportation are widely different. In
others. the railways and waterways are
managed by different government de-
partments, each trying TO make a good
showing. and the competition which
arises is almost as keen as in the United
States"
