Washington, Aug. l9.-Sir Chentung
Liang Cheng, the Chinese minister,
called at the state department during
the day for a conference with Mr.
Hay, which lasted some time Al
though the minister said he called phi
nlarily on another matter he admitted
that the question of Chinas neutrality
was under discussion and there is rea-
son for believing this subject oC IL
pied the major portion of the confer
ence. The minister did not attempt
to conceal his belief that the probleL4s
presented to China in the last few
days by the presence of Russian lGD-
reSentatiVeS in Chinese waters We e
exceedingly serious, nor did he at.
tempt to deny that the situation mi !. t
lead to serious consequences. He ue
MED, however, that he brought any
specific instructions from his own gov
eminent, but he is naturally desirous
of keeping his government posted IN
the attitude Of the United States in
this matter and it can be stated that
the real object of the minister S
presentation of this subject to Seer e.
tary Hay was to secure the lattel's
counsel for transmission to Peki1 =.
The Chinese authorities have the
greatest confidence in the disinteres ID
advice OF the secretary and have ap
pealed to him repeatedly when the
Peking government was in trouble.

RECOGNIZED BY RUSSIA.
Validity of American and British Def
milton of Contraband.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 19-It is un-
derstOOd that Russia will recognize the
validity Of the American and British
view differentiating between condi-

and that the Russian reply will be
cOuched in this sense. Specific claims
on the part of Great Britain for seiz-
ures of vessels and cargoes will prob
ably be reserved for later considera-
ton.
The Russian government appears to
be desirous of adjusting the question
of the flour on board the Arabia, con
fiscated by the Vladivostok prize court,
but it is pointed out that the decision
of the court makes it difficult to adjust
1t automatically and it is suggested
that the case should be appealed to the
