AFFECTING MANCKURIA.
Russia May issue Statement Recogniz-
nq Chinese Sovereiqnty.

st. Petersburg, April 6.-The Rus
sian government is considering the
issuance of statement formally rec
ognizing China's sovereignty in Man
churia in so far as is consistent with
the purely administrative rights of
Russia in the railroad zone This is
thought to be the best way out of the
Hardin difficulty, which has been
brought to. an issue by the refusal of
Fred D. Fisher, the American consul
at Hardin, to recognize the Russian
administration of this territory. Rus
sian diplomacy is anxious at all haz-
ards to remove the impression that
the reorganizing Of the administration
of Hardin and Chailar involved fur
Their encroachment on the integrity of
Manchuria and there is reason to be-
lieve that Russia would be willing to
receive suggestions as to the wording
of statement acceptable to the Unit
ed States and the other powers inter
ested, which, while clearly describing
the status quo under existing treaties,
would permit Russia to institute nee
essary reforms in the administration
of the railroad zone These reforms
are prerogatives of Russia under the
treaty Of 1895.
