It is stated from Nanking that, aware of the acute crisis, threatening the very existence of China, caused by the alleged treachery of the reactionists at Hsian and Peking who are ready to even sell their country to Russia in order to spite the other Powers, the high provincial authorities of the Liangkiang provinces sent a telegram about a week ago to the Foreign Office at St. Petersburg, requesting Count Lamsdorff to explain on their behalf to the Car that the ratification of the agreement con- cerning Manchuria would be against the wishes of more than nine-tenths of the officials, literati, and common people of the Empire of China Furthermore, as the Czar is a friend and advocate of prace, it was sincerely and earnestly hoped that his Majesty would interfere in the matter and order affairs to be settled on a broader and less selfish basis." No reply has been vouchsafed by the Russian Foreign Office, although the message was couched in very courteous terms.

Yesterday, a committee was appointed to study the financial resources of the Chinese The Russo-Chinese Agreement.

M. Satow and Baron Nishi. catry and merchants of Shanghai: The Russo-Chinese Agreement greatly injures the success of the peace, negotiations and it is therefore impossible to consent to its rati- fication. I have already, in conjunction with II. E. Te Shou, governor of Kuang-tung, sent a telegram, dated the 1st of the and moon (20th March), to their Majesties at Hsian, strongly protesting against the ratification of said agreement, but whether we will be suc cessful in influencing the Throne remains to be seen, and we are anxiously hoping for a a favourable Rescript."
In answer, the following was sent to H. E. Viceroy Tao Mu"We respectfully beg to inform you that we learn that the 6th day of the moon (25th March) has been set down for the tatification of the Agreement; hence the danger is most critical. We pray Your Excel. lency to call upon the Viceroys and Governors of the other provinces, to join you in fight- ing to the death against the ratification. We also pray that you will declare that you will refuse to recognise the agreement if Your Excellency's protest is not Eccepted. We have already sent to Viceroys Liu Kun-yi and Chang Chih-tung a similar request, and we pray Your Excellency to use your best endeavours to avert the calamity threatening our country." The following telegram was sent to Yuan Shib-kai, Governor of Shantung." The Russian Agreement is to be ratified on the 6th of this moon (5th March). The existence of our Empire is in immediate danger. We pray Your Excellency to combine with the other provinces and fight to the death against rati- fication."
Owing to the protests sent to the Govern. ment at Hsian, we learn that an Imperial Decree was telegraphed on the 22nd inst. to the Chinese Ministers at. London, Washington, and Tokio, the substance of which was that the Throne had received protests from the various Viceroys had Gov- ernors of provinces and the gentry, literati, and people of all provinces residing in Shanghai and elsewhere praying that their Majestica refuse to ratify the Russian Agreement, as it would mean the ruin of the Empire. The Throne is also pleased to note that most of the -Foreign-Powers are similarly opposed to the Agreement and have advisert our officials to resist it The Throne is grateful to the Foreign Powers for their friendly advice, but after what has passed China is 100 weak to make any resistance, and must have outside aid. Hence Lo Feng-lu (London), We Ting-fang (Wash- ington) and Li Sheng-tu (Tokio) are hereby commanded to appeal on the Throne's behalf
