OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
AS Indicating That Things May Not
Be So Bad as They Look.

London, Jan. 14.-All the morning
papers nave editorials which attach
great importance to the ratification of
the commercial treaties between the
United States and China, and between
Japan and China. The consenus of
opinion i'll these editorials is that the
ratification of the treaties implies an
act Of sovereignty by China equivalent
to Il declaration that Russia's occupa-
ton of Manchuria is only temporary
and for specific purposes. Some i'm
pOrtance is attached to the unusually
long conference between Foreign Min
lister Lansdowne and Count Bencken-
dorfI. the Russian ambassador, last
