BANKS IN MANCHURfA.
yapanese Must vaeste or Bay
 Them.

4- \ Japanese Must vaeste or Bus
 Mukden, March 5.--Japan has been compeiied to vacate or buy all of the Russian banks throughout Manchuria seized during the war. and consequent iy has lost the privilege with the Chi nese. N
 By command of the general govern ment, the three Governors of Amur Kirin and Mukden provinces have ar rived here for joint consultation with the viceroy on questions of much po- litical importance. and Governor Tang has been ordered to Pekin to report to the throne the result of the consul. tation.
 An important change is reported as imminent. The good results of placing all of Manchuria under one viceroy are now fully apareAt.
 The administration is unified simpIi- fled and consolidated. The troubles of the central government have also been lessened and communication with other countries facilitated. The commands of the yiceFoy are readily obeyed and foreign influence has been reduced so that foreign encroachmenft lis impossi- ble. This creates a barrier against Russia and ssuits Japan, but lifts the influence of that section.
 The demands made by Japan have not yet been settled, but the Chinese Government is becoming more concili- atory concerning regulations in the foreign settlements which have been opened in various towns.
 New trains of. the American style will be placed on ; the South Manehuria Railway between Dalny and Mukden in April.
 American Agricultural implements are gradually finding market in Man. chursa. &
 It is believed that the only effectfye means of preserving the open door win be the purchase by China of the South Manchurian Railway.
