Of the American Chinese commercial

The treaty is now an accomplished
fact, 1t remaining only to proclaim II
and appoint the necessary consuls al
Nukden and Antung. The president
has selected these consuls from men
OF experience already In the consular
service and consequently able to open
up the new field to trade with the least
possible delay. Their names will be
sent to the senate as soon as congress
makes provision for their salary, which
the state department hopes will be
done speedily. It is regarded as very
desirable that such rights as we have
acquired IN Manchuria, as to China
shall be fully established and asserted
