with conditions involving the fate

certain TO lead to long and earnest
discussion. Russia will not admit the
Japanese contention that the road
is wholly a government institution,

Chinese Bank. The governments mt
crest in the road, however, probably
will not be denied, but it will be
urged that so far as it is private oro-
