Sinen the receipt of a copy of the Times of the 3rd instaat, I have boon in porossion of the full text of the telegram from its Peking correspondent, and I must admit that I fail to see in it any sufficient ground for conclud ing that the alleged Agreement nerosmarily implies an international arrangement gising Russia a right of virtual protectorate evor Southern Manchuria, extending beyond the period of its temporary occupation by her trops for the purpose of pacification.
It might, I conceive, be ergued with oqasi force and equal injustice, that any temporary arrangement which the allied forces engaged in a similar task in the province of Pechili may Had themselves obliged to conclude with local Chinese authorities indicate their intention to assuine permanently a virtasl protectorate over that province, or a departure from their dis claimers of seeking any territorial advantages or annexations infringing on the independence and integrity of Chips.

On the same day Lord Lansdowne, replying to a previous communication from the same quarter, had practically anticipated the main points of the Chiness appeal in the following letter :-
My dear Minister.--You communicated to me on the 21st instant copy of an Imperial Decree of the 90th instant, in which it was recited that the Manchurian Agreement has now been amended, but the stipulated time within which the Agreement is to be signed will soon expire. In the circumstances His Majesty's Govern ment is invited--

His Majesty's Ambassador was nevertheless justruoted to make further inquiries, and on February 17 he was authorised by Count Lams dorf to deny the truth of the reported Russo Chinese agreement and to explain that

The diverso decipherings by several papers in the same cablegram syndicate of the same skeleton," strike one harder than ever in tho region where laughter is located. Here are the manners in which the one cable was contorted by three New Zealand papers some time ago, Number one pablished: The Italians have kidnapped two Princes who are closely related to Menetek, raler of Abyssinin, and who were travelling in Italy for their education." Number two served up a juicier joint "Italian agents in Abyssinia are reported to have successfully kidnapped King Mezelek, the raier of the country," Though Italy was then inanner of at war with Abyssinis, such a warfare could hardly be justified; but news paper Number three completed the farce in subdued terms: Mr. Menolick (io), who is travelling in Italy for educational purposes, has disappeared, and it is reported that an Italian agent has kidnapped him. This may be said to have mene-licked this lot, for what the real message was about the public never learned.
