MANCHURIAN SITUATION.
Conflicts with Russia and Japan Give the
Subject an Increasingly Seri-

churIa
Tang Shio vi. the governor of Muk-
den. has been summoned to Pekin i'm
mediately after this conference The
reason for this step is that China is
apprehensive of further political sur
prises in Manchuria. She is mystified
by the situation there, especially by the
possibility of the establishment of vari-
Gus municipal governments under Rus
SIAN control, such as is the case at
Hardin, followed by regulations for pun
lShment OF oHenSeS against the Russian
imperial government and other Sc
QuenC2s OF the process of adjusting the
municipal to the imperial authority.
During the past few weeks japan has
reorganized the administration of the
Lao lung peninsula; among other
things she has extended the powers of
the railroad police to take in the CON
sular regions and given the railroad of
hclalS limited authority over the consul
lar officials.
Since the opening of the Chientao
boundary dispute, conflicts have arisen
between China and Russia and between
China and Japan over two additional
points i'll the matter of trespassing upon
ChlnaS sovereignty in many measures.
namely. the question of railroad extern
sion and of establishing independent
municipalities, and China in calling the
above mentioned meeting in Mukden is
trying to decide on Il course of action.
