WASHINGTON May S.-Cnna is assert
ing its dignity and rights as to the province
Of ManchuTia, wrested from Russian control
as result of the war, in a manner that is
not entirely agreeable to all of the powers.
The first manifestation of this falls upon
the United States. Partly to sustain the
Chinese claim to sovereignty over the prov
ince and also to secure the open door as
against either of the parties to the great
combat, the State department, early in the
quarrel, took steps to establish consulates
at Antung, Tatung-kow, Mukden and Dalny.
During the progress of the war and while
the country was I'm military occupancy It
was not possible TO actually open Offices at
these places. But as soon as Japan and
Russia were willing to withdraw their
troops, It was, of course, assumed that
there would be no further difficulty expert
enced in installing the American consuls
Now, however, it appears that China is
interposng obstacles. supposed at first to
be grounded upon a desire to merely as
sert itself and crafty its vanity, but at
last found to have a much more substantial
basis. In fact, the Chinese government.
it is understood. is now determined to make
a stand against any extension of foreign
land holdings in China and finds the oppor-
tunity to make the issue in connection with
the establishment Of foreign consulates in
Manchuria.

ForeIen settIement. Barred.

In Shanghai Tien Tsin, Canton and Mon
golia, there are what are known as foreign
settlements wherein the consulates are
located and the ground titles I'm many
cases right IN the heads of foreign govern
ments or in citizens of foreign countries.
These settlements have always been alb
noxious to the Chinese and they have de-
termined TO prevent the extension OF the
holdings. Thence in the case of the Man
churian cOnsulates while the Chinese gov
eminent is willing that these great trade
agencies should be established. it wishes TO
permit this existence only on condition that
the necessary lands for the foreign occu-
pants OF the town shall remain in the own
ership Of the Chinese government and that
foreigners be permitted to live thereupon
only under thirty-year leases. The plan
is regarded with disapproval in some quar-
tiers, because the great appreciation in value
OF the lands under foreign occupancy and
Improvement would probably make It i'm
possible for the original lessees 10 renew
their leases on any terms within their
power to meet, but the Chinese government
has already inaugrated this new policy or
foreign exclusion I'm the important city q

ton as to the MsnchuTian consulates, the

The ministry, which. presents several I'M

less favor with the liberal party in tic
popular branch Of the government than
the Witte administrations. The object in
postpOnng the announcement of the new
ministry is not hard to fsthom. Father

Of NJ. Shainsky- Shankatoff., and NJ. Helm

aide to the late Minister OF the Interior
Plehve, minister of agriculture. These

ministry under eternal ban with the lib
