I have considered the telegram which you left with me to-day in which the Viceroys of the Yangisze Provinces inform His Majesty's Government that they have asked the Chinese Court not to sign the Manchurian Agreement, but to refer the draft to the arbitration of the Treaty Powers, if the latter will consent to not as Arbitrators.
In my letter of the 23rd instant, I have dealt with several of the points touched upon in the Viceroy's telogram.
With regard to the proposal that the Agree- mont between Russia and China as to Man- chorian affairs should form the subject of arbitration by the Powers, I may remind you that His Majesty's Government have for some time past urged upon the Chinees Government that ull Agreements of this sort should be dealt with conjointly by the Powers.

bosn played upon us, and putting the blame on the proper shoulders.
Count Lamsdorff at once mid that he must firmly decline to look at the text which I bad brought with nie. He had, he, said, 'tande a faitbit report to the Emperor of our last con versation on this subject, and His Majesty had thoroughly approved of his having declined to discuss the various versions of this alleged Agreement, which had reached His Majesty's make the details of the draft Agreement in Government, and had commanded him not to question, which was still under negotiation with Chine, and had not yet been given a final form, the subject of officisi conversation with say foreign representative.
As regards your Lordship's message exprese ing the readiness of His Majesty's Governmout to co-operate in defeating any malicious man. Tre on the part of the Chinese Government to sow dissension between us by circulating garbled vorsions of this draft, he could not help thinking that both one Governments might properly ignore any such attempt, as it was evident that, in the unfortunate predicament in which they found themselves, the Chinese would naturally resort to those methodiɛ, and it might even be said that any weak Power in the sne position would be tempted to act in the Anine MBZ.NET.
He repeated that the Agreement was at present only is draft form, and at a later stage the Emperor would probably, of his own free will, quthorise him to make some public state. ment with regard to it. I must bo aware, ho added, that original drafts of such errangments renscally contained more than appeared in the inal draft, but until the Emperor anstioned his doing eo, he regretted that he could give me no official information with regard to ita contents or consent to furnish replies to further interpellations in the English Parliament.
Count Lansdorff then proceeded to remark upon the fact that I had been the only foreign Ambassador or Representative who had been instructed to saggest that he should com manleste the text of this Agreement to him, and he again said that Germany had distinctly stated that she was indifferent to any arrange ments which Russia might find it necessary to conclude with China in regard to Manchuria, and that the German Ambassader had quite recently assured him that his Government had
no concern in the matter.
I then explained to his Excellency why I con- sidered his Majesty's Government perfectly justifed in fastracting me to inquire respecting the Ensso-Chinese Agreement.
"dwelt at some length on the exceptional position of Russia towards China, of her having been attacked by the latter and forced to occupy Manchuria, of her anxiety to bring the occupation to a speedy termluation, and of the impossibility of submitting to the Ministers at Peking the special arrangements intended to effect that object."

A farther and less crude explanation is re- ported by his Majesty's Ambasador in a despatch of March:

I endeavoured to elicit from Count Lamador

In his Majesty's opinion sufficient uxemplary punishment had already been inflicted, and that chapter ought to be closed.
There was no intention of disavowing any aution already taken by M. de Giers, but he was not to proceed farther in the matter of punishments.
If the other Powers docided to insist on further punishments as necessary antis- faction, M. de Giers, while abstaining and remaining passive on this point, would not do anything to thwart their efforts to obtain it,
Both Governments I said, were engaged in a common negotiation with China; re had Intely entered into an engagement to seek to overt any possible causo for conflict between our respective interests in China, to respect her There was no intention on the part of Russia integrity, and existing Treaties. and the to throw the concert overboard; on the contrary, Emperor had himself deigned to express to me their desire was to continue in cordial co-opera- personally his desira that there should be ation with all the Powers on the other points of frank and confidential exchange of views the collective note. between the two Governments whenever any risk of conflicting interests presented itself.
We had received what purported to be the text of an Agreement which certainly did affect our Treaty rights in China, rights which we had obtained under the Treaty of Tiantain, after great material sacrifices, giving us an equality of treatment with all other foreign Powers in every part of Chinese territory, including Man charia, and his Excellency surely did not expect that we would ever consent to China abrogating these rights by a separate engagement with any other Power.
Our two Governments had, by a recent Agreement, which oxclusively concorsted rail- way outerprise, consented as regarded each other, and to avoid possible conflicts of interests, to forego in certain defined parts of China the use of some of our rights in supporting applica tions for railway Concussions, but these rights were not abrogated us regarded China.
This Count Lansdorff readily admitted. I then referred to various stipulations in the draft Agreement, which I had before me, und said that to take only one as an example, I found that it gave Russia ike exclusive right of land. in Manchuria, Mongolia, and the new territory of China, on the ground of their being con. biguous to the Russian Empire.
Burely his Excellency was aware that part of this territory was contiguous to other Empires, and indeed one of the districts, named Khotan, was not in any proximity to Russian territory, but contignous to dominions under the protec tion of my august Master the Emperor of India.
Conut Lamsdorf replied that, as ho had already informed me, he was not at liberty to discuss with me officially any details of the proposed Agreement, but if I would consent to tcoat his language as quite anofficial, he would toll me that when I saw the Agreement in. its flusl form. I would, he was convinced, be agree ably surprised to find that it did not contain suy infringement of our Treaty rights, sach as I had feared, and that he had been warefully indful of our engagements, and that all I had said to him on this subject had not fallen on doaf ears.
