The Manchurian Convention.
SHANGHAI, March 28th.
It is stated that the local mandarins have received news from St. Petersburg to the effect that on the 25th instant Minister Yang Ju was invited by Count Lansdorff to a conference at the Foreign Office. Previous to this, Minister A Patriotic Girl,
Yang had not seen the Count for several At the mass meeting held by the Chinese days, Dering the conference Minister Yang gentry, literati and people at Clag Suho's was asked to sign the Russo-Chinest agreement concerning Manchuria, as the Garden the day before yesterday, says the date had arrived to do so. The Chinese N. C. D. News of 16th ultn, Miss lisch, a Minister refused to do so and brought out the patriotic young lady 16 years old, whose father Imperial edict from Hsian as proof that he had is a clerk in Butterfield and Swire's, Tientsin, positive instructions not to sign. Eventually took part and delivered a very appropriate Count Lamsdorff informed Vang Ju that the speech.
Russian Government was willing defer the signing of the Agreement for a few days, but changed. Count Lamsdorff further asked that that not a single word would be permitted to be the Chinese Imperial edict be left in his hands for a few days, which was done.
Miss Hsuch told the audience that it ap: peared to her that her countrymen of all classes and of all ranks lacked unun and pat riotism. The officials seemed to care only for their own families, while the people regarded themselves as helpless babies and left every thing in the hands of the officials. This was the reason why China was to weak. On the

Hsian, ton, seemed now to se the danger. This had been shown by the telegraphic replies from 11sian and from the high officials above referred to. The only persons who seemed to be in favour of the agreement were Prince Ching and Li Hungchang. Now since the Court as well as many of the high officials and the people at karge were against the disgraceful compact, a league should be formed by the high officials and the people, suggesting to the Court that the two arch traitors be at once executed or dismissed and patriotic and more enlightened Plenipotentiaries appointed in their stead. Such a step would probably save the critical situation.
Cheering News. The following telegram was received at Shanghai on 25th ula from the Grand Council at Hsian in reply to the protests against the

As visitors spending some time in Hongkong we have been struck by the frequent remarks made on all sides as to the large amount of loot brought from the front, by naval and military officers. At dinners and dances it is one of the chieftopics of conversation. Ore young midshipman paid several hundred pounds into his account at the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank obtained from loot, and we have heard

the various units set out on their march to the rendezvous, and soon the streets were filled with the lang khaki lines, converging_on the same point, and the hundreds of curious Chinese who filled the side walks. Then in their places they were drawn up in the stiff lines that awaited inspection. On the Pole ground were the artillery, with their eighteen guns and their well-matched teams of horses, and the cavalry, looking admirable. Then in the ground lead. ing rounds the Grand Stand were the infantry, packed, brown matses of men, topped with the glitter of hundreds of bayonets. The incessant commands, and the hurry of mounted officers, ceased when the men were finally in position, and soon afterwards Major-General Gaselee, attended by his staff officers, arrived, and at once rode round the lines, inspecting the men and animals keenly.

PEKING, March 27th. Yesterday the Russian Minister had a final interview with the Chinese pesce commissioners, und made use of ver: threatening language, urging them to immediately sign a treaty re- ferring to the settlement of peace. It is not quite certain whether this treaty is identical with the draft convention regarding Manchuria, but it is certainly something of that sort, and A.
