ment against all treaties giving priv heges to foreigners, not excepting the Chinese treaty of 1881. Accord ing to reports, the Chinese are rank . ling under what are considered unfair clauses in this treaty, and often they have not, abided by it's conditions, on the ground that their interpretation ot the treaty differs from that of the Russians.
 Differences About Treaty.
 The following instance of this is cit ed: Russian traders are not permitted in TaOnanfu, and the Russian consul there was expelled The Russians arr gued that Taonanful is in Mongolia, in which province, according to their treaty, they could trade free. The Chi nese replied that the administrative district of Taonanfu had been chang ed and the town was now within the boundaries of China proper.
 Chinese Dissatisfied With Treaty.
 The Chinese foreign office recently informed Minister Korotovftz that it considered the treaty of 1881 one sid ed and intended to deneunce it after February 25th, being the termination that it can be denounced at teh end of any ten years. Thereupon M Ko- rotovitz communicated to China a list of claims, including demands for del1mltat1On Of the frontier in two places where the boundary was disput ed. The foreign office, when pressed by the Russian minister, replied that it would discuss these points at con- ference over a new treaty which China would propose. M. Korotovitz then pointed out that the claims he had presented referred to breaches ins the present treaty, which had not yet ex- pired.
 Russia's Patience Wearing Out.
 The foreign office, however, has not further communicated with MT. Koro- tovitz, who was repeatedly warned it that the St. Petersburg governments patience will not last indefinitely. The Chinese, not being sufficiently strong to cope either with arms or diplomat ically with Russia, have induaged in their customary procrastinafiOn, no member of the government desiring to incur responsibility for a contest from which there can be but one issue. Therefore, as the regent is in sole au thority, the reply to Russia will be his. but framed under the advice of the councillors.
 Extensive Trade in Border Provinces.
 Russia possesses an extensive trade in all the border provinces, which she does not desire to submit to discus sion. and the denunciation of the treaty will open the whole question to indefinite argument. China, however, enjoys the. legal right to denounce the treaty.
 The Russian and Japanese legations here are regularly in consultation on the Russo Chinese situation.
