( London, England.-The relations

sia Thursday notified the governments
of Great Britain. France. and Germany
of her intention to make military
demonstration on the Russo-C Chinese
frontier owing to China's persistent
violation Of the st, Petersburg treaty

Russian troops will be sent forth

entirely upon the attitude assumed
by China.
Vital questions involved are free
trade in Mongolia, the extraterritorial
rights of Russia in China and the es-
Establishment Of Russian consulate at
'Keobdo. Mongolia.
There have been rumors recently Of
an intention of Russia to bring pres
sure to bear upon China because of al
legged violations Of the Russo-C Chinese
treaty. That the situation was acute,
however. has been denied, both by the
Chinese foreign board and the Russian
legation at Picking, 1t has been admit.
ted that there were differences in the
interpretations Of the international
agreement as made at st. Petersburg
and at Peking. The treaty adopted
in 1881 expires this month and 1t has
been reported that China was not will

tain notifications had been made.
The treaty of 1881 provided for the
re-establishment of the Chinese gov

had been occupied by the Russian arm

chiefly with the attitude Of the other
