By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 15.-The
expiration of the eighteen months
limit of the evacuation of Manchuria
by the Russian and Japanese troops
was marked by the nomination today
of Russian consuls at Kirin and Tsitsi-
har, the last two towns in Manchuria
to pass from Russian hands to the
Chinese. The evacuation of the Rus
sian troops was completed March 21,
almost ahead of the specified date.
A foreign office official, commenting
today on Russia's premature with
drawal, said
1T is a complete justification of Rus
sian good faith in fulfilling the treaty.
1t was insinuated when the treaty was
signed thai Russia would never aban-
don Manchuria, but would find some
means of evading her obligations. But
the expiration of the stipulated period
finds not single soldier of the Rus
sian military establishment left in
Manchuria. The railroad guards, ap-
proximately 800. as provided by the
treaty, are commanded by General
Chicagoff and are attached to the min
istry of railroads and not to the war
ministry. The functions of the guards
are confined strictly to the railroad"
