CHINA REG4INS RIGHTS.
Russia Restores Manchurian TeLc-
graph Lines Japanese Friction.

PeRing. Oct IA new telegraph convention
between Russia and China was signed here to-
day. Under it China RECEIVERS all her previous
telegraph rights in Russian Manchuria and two
thousand miles of lines and connections
formally turned back to her. Russia surrenders
the privileges which she has exercised since the
Boxer outbreak and in the future will pay tele-
graph royalties 10 China.
This is different from the japanese procedure
in Manchuria- Japan increased her claims for
telegraph and telephone privileges and extended
both methods of communication In defiance OF
the sovereignty of China entangling this matter
with the entire political question in Manchuria.
The -Manchuria boundary dispute be-
tween China and Japan is at a deadlock. Three
battalons of Chinese troops who received
orders to occupy Chen-Tao stopped by
Japans protest to China and the presence on
the border OF detachment Of japanese troops
under command Of a lieutenant colonel. China
relies for justification of her claim to Chen-Tao
acknowledgment of the Emperor Of
Corea about seventeen years ago that her SOW
ereignty extended there. while Japan relies upon
the predominance OF Corean interests and
actual possession Of the town.
China is pushing the construction Of the tele-
graph line from Ninguta to Hun-Chun

COLUMBIA ATHLETES IN TROUBLE.
So Many Men Have Conditions That Teams
May Be Disbanded.

Unless the rule prohibiting Columbia stu
dents who have entrance conditions from COM
peting in athletics is revoked some of tho or
ganizations will probably be compelled to dis
band for the simple reason that there will not
be enough men eligible to form the various
teams. The rule, which went into effect on
September /, states in substance that all stu
dents having entrance conditions will be de-
barred from all athletic contests
This means that 67 per cent of the men in
the. college division and 70 per cent of the
science men viii be ineligible to compete on the
various teams. BY enforcing the rule the var
slty teams will suffer considerable but the
freshman teams will practically have to be
disbanded. This peculiar situation has led the
board OF student representatives at Columbia
to formulate petition to the faculty asking
that the rule be not enforced until September l.
1903. by which time Il is thought that the men
will have removed their conditions and that
the next freshman class will have had a warn
ing that unless they enter Columbia without
conditions they will be unable to join an athletic
team.
The managers of the teams are drawing I'D
n petition also. which they will present to the
faculty. This petition is practically the same
as the one sent in by the board OF represent
