Washington, May 3.-China is assert,

province Of Manchuria, wrested from
Russian control as a result Of the war,
in a manner that is not entirely agree
able to all of the powers, and the first

Mukden and Dalny, and when the

stand against any extension of foreign
landholdings in China, and finds the

Hate Foreign Sections.
In Shanghai, Tientsin, Canton and
elsewhere in China there are what
are known as foreign settlements
wherein the consulates are located and
the ground titles in many cases rest
in the heads of foreign governments
or in citizens Of foreign countries.
These settlements have always been OBJ
noxious to the Chinese, and they have
determined to prevent the extension OF
the negotiation holdings. Hence, in the
case Of the Manchurian consulates
while the Chinese government is will
ing that these great trade agencies
should be established. they wish to per
! NIT it only on condition that the neces
ssary lands for the foreign occupant
of the towns shall remain in the own
ership Of the Chinese government, Ian(
that the foreign residents be permitted
to live there only on under thirty-ye
lease. The plan is regarded with dis
favor in some quarters.

exclusion in the important city O.
Chinan-fu by prohibiting the connec
ton Of foreigners with any Of the pub
