British Interests Are Said to Be
Well Protected.

London, Sept. l9.-If the Chinese
at Peking are accurately informed the
interests of Great Britain are well pro-
tected in the treaty with the Thibetans.
From dispatches received here it is
clearly apparent that Great Britain
does not mean to be confronted by an
other situation like that which neces-
STATED the expedition to L'Hassa.
The treaty binds the Thibetans to
grant trading facilities to Great Brit
ain and to demolish all forts between
the Indian frontier and the Gyangtse
and to repair all dangerous passes on
existing routes of travel, as we'll as to
pay an indemnity of seven and one
half lahks of rupees ($3, $50, OOO)
Furthermore, British troops are to
occupy the CHUNKY valley until the
Indemnity is paid and the other agree
ments are fulfilled. In addition the
Thibetans agree not to sell. lease or
mortgage any Thibetan territory with
out Great Britain's consent, nor per-
NIT any foreign power to be concerned
in the administration of the govern
ment.

AS TO CONTRABAND.

Gar Accedes TO contentious OF Great
Britain and United States.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 19.-Russia
has given her answer to the American
and British notes on the subject of
contraband of war. Her answer was
communicated to Ambassador Hard
inge verbally by Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff, and bears out predictions
made on the subject by the Associated
Press.
The am bassador was informed in
effect that according to the decision
of the commission which had investi-
gated the subject the government has
agreed to view as conditionally contra
band in character foodstuffs and fuel,
and that supplementary instructions
had been issued to the Russian naval
commanders and prize courts calling
their attention to the misinterpretation
which had been placed on prize tegu-
lations.
These instructions, Sir Charles Hard
inge was informed, make clear dis
tinction between the articles enumer-
ated in Article of the Russian prize
regulations which are susceptible of
dual use, like fuel and foodstuffs, the
assumption being that if they are ad-
dressed to private persons or firms in
an enemy's port they are not intended
for warlike uses; but their innocent
character may be subject to suspicion
if the ships and circumstances are IT.
regular.
In effect the new regulations will
place the burden of proof that the
goods are designed for belligerent pur-
poses upon the captor.
The new instructions will involve
reversal of the Judgment of the Vlad-
ivostok prize court in the case of the
provisions confiscated.

FAVOR REFERENDUM.
French People May Vote on Church
and State Separation.

anu State separation.
Paris, Sept. 19.-The movement for
the separation of church and state has
brought out proposition from group
of deputies to submit the question to a
referendum vote of the country. The
constitution c1ntemplates referen-
dunn, but it is only adopted in the case
of questions of the highest importance.
The proposers of the plan assert that
the separation of church and state is so
vitality important that it should be
submitted to the country. The propo-
sition, although widely discussed, does
not receive encouragement from Pre-
mier Combes, who says the municipal
elections significantly show that the
country approves his policy.
