U. S. PROPOSAL
REJECTED TODAY
Japan and Russia Cannot Agree
to Naturalization of Man
churian Roads.
RffUSALS POLITE, But firm
Mikado's Government Sees No Benefit
in the Proposed Plan and Russia
Has An Eye Open for its
Future Welfare.

Toxic, Jan. 21.--The reply to the u.
s. proposal Tor the naturalization Of
the Manchurian railways was handed
TO Ambassador O'Brien this afternoon.
1t is. polite declination.
No intimation of the contents of the
memorandum of reply Is given, but
best Information obtainable indicates
the communication is brief and the
Geclination TO accept the naturalization
proposition is based on several
grounds, chief of which are: The Am
erlcan plan would be of no advantage
whatever to Japan; it would afford no
advantage to China; and il would not
change the commercial situation in
Manchuria where japan is adhering
strictly to its pledges Of open door and
equal opportunity.
1t is understood the reply Is couch
ed in terms of friendly appreciation
Of the American purpose but it is not
of an argumentative character and its
conclusions are not qualified.

st. Petersburg. Jan. 21.-Russia's re-
ply to Knox's note proposing the neu-
tralization OF the Manchurian railways
was delivered TO Ambassador Rockhill
today. 1t is practically identical with
Japan's reply.
The Russian communication rejects
the proposal for the naturalization of
the existing railroads. 1t states also
that the Russian government considers

Russia will defer its final answer on
this subject pending the receipt of in

the right to pass upon all such prof.
Gets as affecting it's political, strategis
and economic interests. The note
throughout is i'm friendly tone and
the American proposition is criticised
strongly on its intrinsic merits.
