 PERATlVE NOTE TO CHINA.
SIav Nation Charges Violations of Treaty-Chna Is in Grip of
 Famine and Plague.

St. Petersburg, Russia.-The Retch states that Kulja, 43 miles over the frontier in the Hi region of Chinese Turkestan, is to be occupied in ac- cordance with the decision arrived at by the government because of China S persistent disregard of the treaty of 1881. Under the terms of that treaty Russia agreed to ,eVacuate the Hi re- zion, which it occupied in 1871. on condition that she receive consular and commercial privileges in Mongo- lia and Manchuria
 Russia has become irritated over China's persistent violation of the terms of this treat and fhis feeling has been greatly aggravated by con stant attempts on the part of China to disregard provisions of other treaties.
 Surmise is busy with the probable attitude of the United States if Rus sia carries out her threats to China. The Chinese declare that Russia's vio- lation of the secret Russo-Chinese agreement of 1896 has been far gray CT than China's alleged nonobserv- ance of the treaty of 1881.
 They say the United States has all the data relating to this aspect of the dispute and that China is willing to refer it to an international tribunal.
