RUSSIA GIVES REASONS FOR HOLDING MANCHURIA China Is informed That a Change Would «Be Unsafe During the Negotiations With Japan—Latter Takes Control of Seoul-Fusan Railway and Outbids the Russes for Two Italian Cruisers. PEKIN, Dec' Lien Fang, first Secretary to the board of foreign af fairs, visited Russian Minister Lessar today and requested information con cerning the intentions of the Russian government regarding the evacuation of Manchuria. Minister Lessar in reply-said that nothing could be done at present with a view to evacuation for two reasons. In the first place, the cold weather made it impossible to ? remove the troops from their present positions, and there were no accommodations to be had elsewhere, and in the second place, it would endanger Russia's in terests to undertake.evacuation" during the negotiations between Russia and Japan, as Japan might seize the op portunity to invade Manchuria. The Chinese government is so alarmed at. the prospect of. the situa tion seemingly involved in the pros pective war that it would prefer that Russia remain in control of Man churia. As an alternative the foreign office has indicated to the \ ministers that a settlement satisfactory to China would be that Russia and Japan should retain their respective treaty rights in Korea and Manchuria if they agree not to attempt to obtain further advan tages in; the country, g The Russian commander imperatively requested the Tartar general to disband his militia men and to disarm them. The Tartar general issued an order in accordance with this request, but it is understood the men are conceal ing their arms, supposedly with the Tartar general's connivance. LONDON, Dec. 29. — According to the Daily Chronicle, the Japanese gov ernment outbid the ■ Russian govern ment and actually purchased the war ships Moreno and Rivadavia, both of which are now neaiing completion at Genoa.

On the contrary, the fact that Russia, in accordance^with Ja pan's „: request, .is actually reviewing the matters in dispute, is -regarded as, a favorable sign. It Is,-pointed out that if Russia replied immediately' un favorable deductions might have been drawn, and although 7 Russia believes her proposals were extremely concilia tory, containing all the concessions she can make,' this does not exclude the possibility of finding alternative prop ositions, which may more closely coin cide with Japan's wishes. If careful reconsideration discloses the possi bility of such, a course; it is said there is every reason to believe that it will be gladly embraced. 7'iyr:yy- -.-— LONDON, Dec. 29.
