RUSSIA TO MAINTAIN
ITS HOLD ON CHINA
my Associated Press,

tby Associated Press.D
PEKIN, Oct. 4.-Russia's demand
that representatives of Outer Mon
golia shall not be permitted to sit in
the Chinese parliament is an indica-
tion that Russia does not intend to
slacken the hold which it obtained
upon Outer Mongolia through its
treaty with China recognizing the
autonomy of Outer Mongolia insofar
as domestic affairs are concerned.
With Japan encroaching upon Inner
Mongolia, as is indicated by the
recent riot at Chenghiatun, and with
Russia pressing in on Outer Mon
golia, Chinese officials are especially
uneasy about the intentions of these
two powers, particularly in the light
of the recent Russo-Japanese treaty
in which the two countries agree not
to interfere with each others "spe-
cial interest" in the far east.
Prince Koudacheff. the Russian
minister, represented TO the foreign
Office that Outer Mongolia being an
autonomous government naturally
should not participate in the Chinese
parliament but should have its own
sembly of its own to direct its own
internal affairs.
Chinese officials have. apparently
never conceded the absolute auto
nomy of Outer Mongolia The for
eign office is unwilling to admit thai
the members designated to represen
Mongolia when parliament vas Mrs
convened in 1913 should not nov
take their seats. Furthermore. thu
question Is raised as TO the validit!
OF the RussoJapanese treaty granting
autonomy to Outer Mongolia. Reput
, lican leaders say the treaty is no
valid. as Yuan Shikai negotiate
without the ratification OF parliament
