MAY ASK FOR INTERVENTION
Washington View of the Russo-chinese
Situation,

Washington, Feb. 21-The Chinese
government apparently has determined
to contest the demands of the Russian
government in the matter of extension
of trade relations and the recognition
of special privileges in the province OF
Iii, Northwestern China.
The Chinese legation here has in.
formed the state department that the
Chinese foreign office at Picking has
addressed note to the ST. Peters
burg foreign office, replying to the ulti
matum threatening a military demon
stration in Turkestan.
The Chinese note, in substance, is a
sweeping denial of the charges made
by the Russian government that China
has violated the provisions of the
treaty of 1881, so far as they relate to
consular offices and the rights of Rus
sian merchants in the Northwestern
provinces of China.
The Chinese legation so far has
contented itself with supplying the
state department with brief state
ment of the Chinese reply and has
asked further instructions from Picking
before endeavoring to enlist the good
offices of America in adjusting the
dispute with Russia.
