Diiferences About Treaty. The following instance of this is cit- ed: Russian traders are not permitted in Taonanfu, and the Russian consul there was expelled. The Russians ar- gued that Taonanful is in Mongolia, in which province, according to their treaty, they could trade free.

'Thereupon M. Ko- rotovitz commiunicated to China a list of claims, including. demands for a delimitation of _the _ frontier in- two places where the boundary was dispuf- ed. The foreign office, when pressed by the Russian minister, replied that it would discuss these points at a con- ference over a new treaty which China would propose. M. Korotovitz then pointed out that the claims he had presented referred to breaches in: the present. treaty, which had not yet ex- pired. Ru ’s Patience Wearing Out.

Therefore, as the regent s in sole-au- thority, the reply to Russia will be his, but framed-under the = advice of the councillors. Extensive Trade in Border Provinces.
