LOUD PLANT FROM RUSSIAN
Manchuria Now to Lapse to Barbarism,
He Declares.

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 16.-Alexan-
der BriantchaninoG correspondent of
the ST. Petersburg Slovo, writing on the
questions involved in the surrender of
the eastern Chinese railway, which is
being considered by the peace confer
ence today, and also regarding the gen.
eral question of the restoration Of Chi
nese sovereignty in the province, says:
Notwithstanding the secrecy so strictly
observed regarding the discussion of the
peace conference, it is now known that
the second article discussed concerned
the question of returning Manchuria to
China and that the article has been
agreed upon So it is understood that
Manchuria is going to- be restored under
the charming administration of China.
For fear Of Russia's enlargement she
has been prevented from completing her
work Of civilization in that province
where she spent millions of Russian rou-
bles, retaining in return only unpleasant
memories, and now they say, that 1t Is
better to give Manchuria to nobody than
I TO Russia, for to reta1pS Manchuria to
China means to return that province to
the state of barbarism.'
1t is, however, asked if even the rail-
road which cuts this province in three
portions, and which should be an instru-
ment of civilization and of development
OF ner riches, Will be abandoned to Chi
nese neglect.
With regard to the Harbin-Liao-tun
| railway line the institution of a Chinese
administration can be understood as this
| line has no strategic legitimate value
except for China. But it is quite different
| with the line uniting Vladivostok to Rus
STA, which it is impossible for the Mus
covite empire because Of it's strategic
value to make dependent on a Chinese
! administration.
! Technical researches have shown the
! enormous difficulty of uniting Vladivo-
stock and Port Arthur with Europe
around the Amur. So the civilized world
welcomes the decision of Russia to build
railway thru Manchuria Russia made
this immense effort which, considering
the policy of the open door, will be OF
great and equal advantage to the COM
| merce Of the whole world.
1t is therefore just that Russia should
have the material guaranty that that rail
way line should not run the least risk OF
being destroyed or cut by the brigands
or that it should suffer in case of a mis-
| understanding with China. The com
| MERGE of the world will gain very much
if Japan should be entrusted with the
guarding of the southern railway line
and Russia with the protection of the
north line, mutually pledging themselves
| to follow the policy of the open door IL
the whole province.
