Gar Will Not Have American
At Dalny.
Purely Military Reasons-Fears He
Gould Not Be Adequately
Protected.
GRAVE STATE OF AFFAIRS

Washington, Feb. Secretary
Hay has been informed that Edwin
Morgan will not be granted an exequa-
tur by the Russian government, author
izing him to act as United States con-
sui at Dalny. Mr.. Morgan is now on
his way from Washington to his post.
He will sail from San Francisco and
touch at Yokohama, at which point
the state department will be able to
advise him a month hence what course
to pursue. This decision on the part
of the Russian government was not al
together unexpected, but it is never
theless the subject of grave considera-
tion by the state department. officials.
1t is said the reasons assigned for
the declinstion to receive Mr.. Nor
gan are entirely impersonal.
1t is explained that the reason for
Russia's action is purely military, the
army officers desiring that there shall
be no foreign officials on the Lao
Tung peninsula during the progress Of
hos.ilities as they fear they may not
/ be able TO afford such officials a prop
er measure of protection in times of
violence. 1t is also suggested that as
the United States consul would be
charged with the responsibility for
the protection of the japanese, there
would be many chances for severe frio
ton, which it is desirable to avoid.
1t is suggested however. that there
is a possibility that the Russians may
not be masters Of the Lao Tung pc
ninsula when the consul arrives. 1t
Is said here, that after all the Russian
course is consistent, in that that gov
eminent had stesdfastly refused to re-
ceive any coDsuls at Dalny, and the
only official the United States ever
had th--e was commercial agent.
The announcement is made thai the
decision in Sir. Morgan's case does
not apply to the newly appointed Unit
ell States consuls at Mukden and An
tung. These consulates are in Man
ohuriA, and the state department TAX
ing the ground that the province is
part Of China, would apply to the Chi
nese government for exequaturs for
these cousuls, not recognizing the right
of any other TO intervene
