any prospect Of serious disagreement with
Japan over the question of Manchuria,
despite the vigorous warning of a great
commercial struggle I'm the far east de-
livered by Jacob II. schin, the New York
banker, a few days ago, it IS known that
the matter Of our commercial rights in
Manchuria is glving grave concern to the
government. In plain terms # is asserted
that Japan and Russia have reached an
agreement to shut other nations out OF
Manchuria and to impair Chinese rights
in that great province without regard to
tho open door principe formulated by
Secretary Hay and agreed TO by the pow
ers The rejection by Japan and Russia OF
Secretary Knox's proposal tkat China con-
struct a railroad across Manchuria in or

trade Is considered evidence Of an under
standing between the two powers reached,

The leading newspapers comment con-
servatively on the action of the COM

to report favorably the Hayes exclusion
