Geved that Mr. Payne has sent a rather
sharp reply to Mr.. Madden.

CHINA HAS Baked.

Manchuria.

Manchuria
Washington, June 24.-The negotia-
tons with China for a trade treaty
have. reached a critical phase. growing
out Of the demand Of the United States
and Japan for the opening Of ports IN
Manchuria. The Russian government
has professed to entertain no Oppost-
ton to this demand, but the Chinese
commissioners now take the grounds
that the ports mentioned viii be opened
to foreign trade in the future, when
trade necessities require it. There
fore, they propose to leave this matter
in allegiance and conclude the trade
convention without this action The
United States refuses to accept this
suggestion. Japan takes the same p0-
sition- The English influence lies in
that direction, and negotiations are
deadlocked pending the continuance of
some means by the powers named to
bring some pressure upon China.
