reply 10 the Russian note of Feb. 10,
setting forth in detail the Russian
claims, before March rs; otherwise 1t
/ will hold the Chinese government re-.
| sponsiblp for such action as Russia
deems advisable.
The ultimatum was contained in a
telegram from NJ Neratoff the acting
minister OF foreign affairs, to NJ K0ros-
tevetz. the Russian minister at Picking.
and Is as follows:
Negotiations in recent months have
convinced the Imerial government that
the Chinese government is seeking by
cryptic aud eyasiye answers To reject
the points of the note OF Feb l6.
In view .of the absolutely futile char
acter OF such negotiation, during the
course OF which the Chinese govern
ment has sought only to restrict Rus
sa's treaty rights by advancing arq-
ments which it afterward abandoned,
the Russian government sees itself
obliged to end this procrastination, for
which there j. no Justification and re-
quests the Chinese government formally
to admit that all the points in the note
Of Feb rs arc valid and conform to
the treaty Siipulstious.
III an exhaustive and satisfactory
reply to all six points Of the note Of
Feb. l6 is not received by March IS,
Russia reserves to itself freedom of
action and will make the Chinese gov.

ment, Of course, is most praiseworthy.
