MANCHURIA.

The Shanghai nativo popor Shen Puo ways that it is only recently that the Russinu Minister at Foking drew up several proposals in

gard to the co-operative administration of Manchuria by Russia and China and offered them to the Chinese Government for acceptance, The proposals are as follows :-

1-Russia should be permitted to send 8,500 more troops to Manchuria and station them at short intervals along the Chinese Eastern Builway for the maintenance of order.

2—A new college should be established in Harbin, in which both the Russian and the Chines: languages should be taught, and in which two Directors, one a Russian officer, and the other a Chinese, should be appointed.

3-In Kiris, Harbin, and two other be important places post offices should established, and placed under the combined management of Chinese and Russian officers.
