ULTIMATUM GIVEN
TOCHINESE PEOPLE

st. Petersburg. March 25.--The Rus
sian government is determined to force
China to take decisive action regard
ing the Russian demand that the pro-
visions of the treaty of 1881 be COM
piled with. Russia's utmatum, which
has been presented to the administra-
tion at Peiin through the Russian
minister. declares that China must
give n satisfactory answer to the Rus
sian note Of February l6, setting forth
in detail the Russian claims before
March 2s, otherwise 1t will hold the
Chinese government responsible for
such action as Russia deems advisable.
The ultimatum was contained In a
telegram from M. Neratoff the acting
minister Of foreign affairs, to M. Koro-
stovdtz, the Russian minister at Pekin.
1t concludes:
I'm view of the futile character OF
such negotiations in the course of
which the Chinese government has
sought only to restrict Russias treaty
rights by advancing arguments which
1t afterwards abandoned, the Russian
government sees llSelI ODllBated 10 enc
this procrastination for which there
Is no Justification. and requests the
Chinese government formally TO admit
that all the points In the note Of Feb
ruary 16 are valid and conform to the
treaty stipulations.

reply to all six points of the note ol
