TIENTSIN DAY BY DAY.
From Our Own Cerrepondent.)
TIENTSIN, April 1ziha
The Manchurian Convention really is signed/ at last. I had a Chinese version of the conven tion as recently altered on the 4th inst, but did not feel confident as to its correctness. It does not now appear to tally very closely to the foreign yersion, which is a modification of that published in the London Times some two months ago.
In substance the document signed is as- follows
Art China undertakes to protect the pro- perty and officials of the Manchurian railway and all Russian subjects in Manchurin and ́expresses her determination to carry out all stipulations of the contract made in 1896 ca- pecially clause V of that Convention. (Sec note.).
By virtue of China's recognition of her obligations as above," "Russia promises to restore the country⠀⠀⠀ provided no: other and⠀⠀ within the first power intervenes, six months of signing the troops will be with- .drawn from Shengking between the Great Wall
and the Liao River. During the next six- months from the rest of Shengking and Kirin. During the next six months the whole of the remaining troops will be withdrawn, During the second six months, providing the Allies withdraw from Tientsin City, Russia will retire from Newchwang.
II. As the Chinese troops attacked the Russians China can only increase or decrease her forces in Manchuria after duly consulting. the Russian. Authorities, China must keep a sufficient force of cavalry and infantry to protect Kussians and keep the peace.
IV. Russia agrees to restore the Shaphai- kwan railway, which China promises under all circumstances to protect, and not to allow any other Power to protect or operate it, China undertakes toobserve the conditions of 1898 and the treaty of 1899 between Great Britain and Russia, China will not allow any Power to take possession of any part of this milway.
China agrees to consult Russia before mak- ing any branch lines of the Manchurian railway. THE ASSISTANT GOVERNMENT Marine and also to consult her about the bridge at Surveyor (Mr. James Macdonald), having reving Kow and about any alteration in the ported his return from leave of absence, H. E terminus at Shanbrikwan. the Officer Administering the Government has been pleased to appoint him to be acting Go vernment marine surveyor with effect from the 1st April, 1902.
· China undertakes to defray Russia's expenses
while operating and protecting the railway the amount to be hereafter settled. The cop. vention is to be in three languages, Russian, French and Chinese to be ratified within three

THE NORTHERN JUNK TRADE-Dur ing the Chinese second moon fully forty junks were sent from Shanghai to Newchwang to bring down the bean-oil, feathers, leather and other northern produce which had accumulated during the winter months. Three of these vessels have since returned fully laden to Shanghai.
GARRISON DANCE, It has been arranged by the guests, who have been so kindly invited to the Garrison weekly dances, to give them return a complimentary dance on 9th May, at the R. E. Boat Shed. The dance will also include a supper. The arrangements are in the able hands of Messrs. J. J. Blake (Hon Secretary) Wheal, Coyle, Lowe, Moorhouse and Bell.
WONG-NEI-CHONG RECREATION. GROUND COMMITTEE --With reference. to à Government Notificaton of November last, it is notified that the appointment of Major J. H Gwynne, and Royal Welch Fusiliers, as the military representative in the Wong-nej-chong Recreation Ground Committee, wire Captain H. Rotherham, R.W.F., on leave has been approved.
THE SALVATION ARMY week of self-denial has surpassed all records. The exact figures of the movement in all lands will not be known for some time, but it is now certain that the total money raised will not be far short of £100,000. Fifteen years ago, when the self denial movement was begun, the promoters thought they were very successful because they raised £5,000. Since then the fund has gone on increasing by leaps and bounds every year.

Note: The Clause Vin the Cassini Con- Russia; vention herein alluded to Sanctions upan the completion of the Siberians railway, running branch lines through Manchuria, Kirin, ele, to Tallenwan or any other point.
There are a dozen places in the above cons vention which form conforming sequels to the stipulations of the 1896 convention and links in the chain of Russia's great purpose. The signing of such a contract does not involve cae iota of Russian self sacrifice, or materially change one item of the programme which she laid down in connection with her North Chinh exploits over ten years ago The convention makes demands on China which she knows it is beyond her capacity to carry pul and the non-fulfilment will give Russia the only excuse she needs for the non fulfilment of her own undertakings. The Manchurian Con- vention is but a blank paper in Russia's estimation and, if by any chance its terms are carried out by Russia, Chinese and China's supporters will have greater need for appre hension than if Russia remains where she is. • Such easy compliance on Russia's part means one of two things that she knows the stipula tions will never be carried out, or she has some quid pro quo up her sleeve which will be a case of the cure is worse than the disease. The only adverse phase in the situation is
furnished by Japan. She is standing by to watch and the monient the eighteen months are up sho will demand an explanation if any Russian troops still remain in Manchuria. It would be rather interesting to know, if the Russians do really withdraw, in what direction they will move? Is Vladivostock already ovestocked or is there room there and at Port Arthur for the retiring host
