dressed a memorial to the throne urging the
gravity of the questions which will arise when
the present war ends. particularly the mainte-
nance Of Chna's sovereignty over Manchuria.
In an interview to-day the Minister said:

be essential that the victor recognize China's
complete authority over Manchuria. It Will be
natural Tor the victor TO expect special priVi-
leges within the territory forming the theatre
Of he conflict, but Chinas rights in Manchura
being unquestionable. neither belligerent can
claim privileges growing GU: of coming TO fight
upon our territory. If any single power gains
special privileges in Manchuria it will operate
Therefore, it is to the interest of the world at
large to foresee the conclusion of the war and
guard against either Of the powers obtaining "a
privileged position in Manchuria. The court at
Peking is now considering certain measures for
reform, and it is quite possible that Of the
chief results Will be extension of the open
door policy to Manchuria and certain other parts
OF the empire which thus far have been outside
the range of the open door
The Russian Embassy has temporarily as
sumed the aspect Of a hospital. owing to the
arrival there Of number of the survivors of

or legs, but all in advanced stage of re-
covery. The wounded are proceeding by easy
stages to st. Petersburg.
