HONGKONG. 14th December, 1901. The remarks in the New York Times with regard to the attitude of the United States toward Russia in the matter of Manchuria, if they have a basis of fact, constitute a vory important declaration. As for the claim that the United States have lost heavily so far through the Russian occupa tion of Mauchuria, there can be no doubt of the truth of this, for the evidence is forthcoming from the consular reports. We have seen no complete list of the figures of American trade in China since the outbreak in the North, so that we cannot verify the statement that the loss to the United States in China is a direct con- sequence of Russia's occupation of Man- cherin. It is indisputable, however, thit in that province the States have suffered a heavy commercial blow. We have in the past spoken of the uncertainty as to Ameri-
