ASHINGTON, April 24.—Russia’s demand, on China regarding Manchuria as a pre- requisite to withdrawing her armed forces from that territory, which has so greatly excited the diplomats of the United States, Great Britain and Japan in China, to-day occupied’the attention of the State Department as a matter of primary importance. This Government has heard from both Great Britain and Japan on the subject, and both are understood to feel that their interests are menaced by the proposed agreement which Russia wants China to sign, and to be anxious to have the United States take the same view and join in a protest. During the day Mr. Rogestvonsky, secretary of the Russian embassy, called at the State De- partment and saw Secretary of State Hay. He is understood to have informed Mr. Hay that the assurances which Russia has already given to him regarding the trade interests of the United States shall be continued in full force, and that Russia would not change her policy in this respect. As Mr. Rogestvonsky represented Count Cassini, the Russian Embassador, who is confined to his house by an attack of lumbago, these assurances may be taken as an official representation of the Russian Government, and they have been accepted as such. Threatened Diolation of Historic American Policy. - These representations, however, will not prevent the United States from making a protest to the Government at St. Petersburg, and they have not allayed the feeling of asperity over the belief that the signing of an agreement by China embodying the terms set forth in this morning’s cable from Peking would be directly at variance with the well-known policy of this country to provide equal rights commercially for all nations—in other words, the maintenance of “the open door.” It is expected that this Government will send a note to China, reiterating its position, so often de- fined, and protesting against the Chinese Government signing any such agreement. Mr. Moody, Secretary of the Navy, had a long interview With the Secretary of State, and there is no doubt that-the location of our naval forces in Asiatic waters was discussed. At the same time it ean be stated that there is at this time an emphatic disinclination to send either the Kentucky or Oregon, our two battleships on the Asiatic station, either to- Newchwang or to a point near enough to make it apparent that we are Jommg in any show of force.
