8, The Chinese government shall
not send troops to Outer Mongolia,
except the guards Of the Chinese con-
sulate at Urga, without the consent
Of the Russian government.
4. The Russian government shall
protect the interests Of Chinese resi-
dents in Outer Mongolia, 80 far as
the provision Of the Sino-Russian
treaty are not in conflict herewith
5. The Chinese government shall
recognize the Russian right of enter
ing into direct negotiations with Out.
err Mongolia in case the Russian gov.
eminent recognizes the right of Outer
Mongolia to enter upon direct negoti-
alton with third power or powers
This arrangement for the dual or
rather tripartite control of Outer Mon
golia was far from satisfactory to q
large number of Russian publicists
and newspapers. Such an arrange.
ment it was argued, might easily Gre
ate conflict between China and Rus.
STA, and might prove source of end
less troubles. The Russian expan-
sionists wanted to annex part, If
not all, of Outer Mongolia outright.
Especially was the nationalist party
impatient with the circumspection
shown by the government in dealing
with Mongolia But Russian diplo-
macy, guided by M. sazanoff. followed
the counsel of moderation and was for
the time being apparently satisfied
with the results accomplished by the
two conventions already concluded.
The new tripartite treaty just con-
cluded at Kiathka among the repre-
sentatives of Russia, China and Mon
golia, is on the whole the confirmation
of the provisions made In the previ-
GUS two conventions. The treaty,
however, has a few new features,
chief of which is the defining of boun.
Diary between Siberia and Mongolia.

lions between the three countries.
In the light Of Russias steady ad-
vance towards the ultimate absorb.
ton Of Mongolia we can understand
why Japan has been anxious to extend
her sphere of influence in South Man
churia to the eastern part Of Inner
Mongolia. The alignment Of the rela-
tive positions of Russia and Japan as
defined in the Chino-Japanese proto-
coils and the Chino Monaghan Russian
treaty shows that Russia will claim
as her sphere of influence some 1,153,
700 square miles OF the territories Of
Mongolia and Manchuria as against
lao, 800 square miles similarly claimed
by Japan.

SATURDAYS MARKET RECORD
 BREAKER FOR DULLNESS.
Only 23.5oo Shares Were Traded In, Some Prominent Issues Failing to Appear at All.

New York, Jan. 2-Record breaking dullness attended the opening of the new year on the stock exchange. Jn the course of today's two hour session only 23, 500 shares were traded in, some of the prominent issues failing to ap pear at all. The UnderstOne of leading stocks was barely steady, after opening with general decline.
 The only notable changes were in some of the inactive speCiaIties Sears Roebuck gaining five points, with a six point loss for New I Ork Air Brake. Shares of several of the automobile companies added to recent gains while the Gould stocks showed more hTmness.
 Completion of the details connected with S15, 100000 loan by local banking interests to Argentina was included in the small budget of general news and rumors of further loans to establish credits at this center for some of the European governments were revived.
 Sentiment regarding the outlook in London, where market operations of a restricted character are to be renewed next Monday, was somewhat chilled by the latest disaster to the British navy London bankers, according to private cables, were arranging for the pur- chase of 250.000,000 francs five per cent. French treasury bills.
 These same advices suggested pay ments by Russia to Paris.

DIRECTING SOUTH MANCHESTER
 EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
Fred A. VerpIanck, Formerly of Nor
 wich IS in Charge.

The South Manchester correspondent of The Hartford Times writes:
 The new year is destined to be the most important in the history of South Manchester from an educa- tionaI standpoint, for in addition to new school buildings, which will cost at least $300,00 and possibly more than half a million dollars, many important improvements are to be made in the curriculum
 The educational system is under the supervision of Fred A. Verplanck. MT. Nerplanck, who has been here a number of years, possesses the most modern ideas on educational matters and fortunately the district, with the aid of the Cheney Brothers, has been able to furnish the re- quired capital to exploit the new additions. In each case the addi- tional course has proven it's value and MT. NerpIanck's work and sys- tenn is accepted as criterion in many schools throughout New Eng land. Assisting MT. Verplanck are sixty eight teachers on the regular role, five teachers in the textile

ROWING COURSE WILL
 REMAIN THE SAME
Four Miie Regatta at New London and Poushkeepsie Finds Preference Over Three Mile Course.

The four mile regatta al Pough- keepsie and New London seemed des- tined to remain despite the fact that many of the colleges which send crews to these events have declared q preference for the three mile race The question is certain to come up at the meeting of the beard of stewards of the Intercollegiate Rowing associa- tion. to be held in this city next month. The stand taken by Penn sylvania, fa,voring the present dis tance, will decide the issue, as no change can be made without the agreement of Columbia, Cornell and Pennsylvania.
 Medical authorities are almost unanimous in declaring that the four mile race is a heart breaker literally and hguFatively. With this consensus 8 from men who know the limitations of human strength it would appear that the rowing authorities would be more than anxious to accept the sim pie remedy of slipping off one mile. Certainly no crew would have any advantage over another at this dis tance and rowing skill could be shown just as well as at the present dis tance, with less injurious results. Too much now depends on physical en- durance and too little on rowing skill
 Many colleges where rowing has f1ourished for several years past have come out strongly in favor of the shorter course. Many others which have not taken up rowing would look upon the sport more favorably if con ducted under conditions that met with the approval of the medical fraternity be successful ultimately, but it seems unfortunate that a minority can rule the majority when the latter has such a strong case on it's side.

WHITE 4 FAVORITE OVER WELSH
Bout Has Been Postponed Until January 26Crtcs Like Whites Style of Fighting-Champion Welsh is Clever But Lacks Hard Hitting Power-Wl be Battle of Science
@-su@zll3

the case White has the one grand chance to sail right into his work and fight as he did in the eighth and tenth rounds of his battle with Shu- grue If he does this Welsh is going to be kept very busy throughout. White will also have more confidence than he had when he met Welsh be- fore. He should know just what the champion has in stock, and he pre- pared to meet it. He should be on terms with his weak spots, also. and be ready to take advantage of the knowledge.
 Of course it is taking 3 desperate chance to predict that White will whip the champion, but he certainly has a chance and a good one But a ten round bout is not like a cham pionship battle, unless White should happen to put q quietus on Welshs aspirations before the time limit has expired. in which case he would wrest the honors from Welsh, but not other wise, even if he outboxed him in every round.
 Welsh and White may not put up as lively a bout as Shugrue and White did. but it will be a battle of science and hard hitting, as both are clever and White can be given credit of having the heaviest load at the back of a punch. Whether it is heavy enough to put an end to the career of Welsh is q, question that is fioating in the air and unans wered.

Manaaer Makes the cIub.

Does the manager make the team OF do the players make the manager :? Frank Chance won all his pennants with one group of players Separated from Tinker, Steinfeldt, Brown & Co, and the o-called peerless leader became a fearful flyer" If you don't think so, ask Big Bill Devery and Frank J. Farrell, who paid Chance $50, 900 for managing two tailenders. Ditto. Hugh Jennings. The Detroit leader quit winning pennants when Wild Bill Donovan's right arm col lapsed. Jennings never replaced Don ovan. never won another pennant and probably never will till he stumbles across another pitcher of Donovan's S ca1ibre.
 These two cases would indicate that it's the players and not the managers, says Dick Collins. However. when you look over Connie Mack's record and j. J. McGraw's baseball managerial career. you swing around and take the other side of the argument. In order to prove our contention we
 must take you back to 1905 Both Mack and ATcCraw won pennants that year. Naturally the pennant winners became all sweIled up with their own importance, demanded outTageously high salaries. and then, after forcing their respective managers to toe the mark, instead of IlnUcIling down and playing ball. the ungrateful stars hit the high spots, smashed club disci- pIine and raised cain generally.
