BROUGHT TO LIGHT. Other Secret Treaties Between Russia and China, LONDON, March 21. Dr. Morrison, wiring to tho Times from Pekln, says: "Princo Ching rccolved mo today and confirmed tho information as to Russia's modification of tho Man churlan convention. Tho Chlneso min ister nt St. Pctersourg officially re ports that Russia has agreed to elim inate tho clauso granting her exclu sive privileges in Mongolia and Turk- cstnn, and also to modify various othor clauses objected to by China. Princo Chlng warmly appreciates tho assist ance rendorod China by tho interven tion of Englnnd, tho United States and Jnpnn, but ho is not optimistic concerning tho return of tho court to Pekln. . "Tho Russian amendments do not seem to modify sonslbly tho char acter of tho convention as creating a pormanont protectorate. Tho amondod clauso Giving Russia tho right to con struct a railway Joining tho Man churlan lino to tho great wall declares thnt tho concession for tho railway between Shan Hal Kwnn and Now Chwang to a foreign company was a breach of n provlous agreement be tween China and Russia. No ngroc nicnt has hitherto bcon published with which that concession could conflict, and it Is evident thoro havo bcon a series of such secret agreements, be ginning with tho secret tronty which LI Hung Chang negotiated during his mission to Russia In 189G, I ques tioned Princo Lhlng concerning tho trcnty, nnd ho assented to my sug gestion of Its existence without tho slightest tloni.ir. I havo reason to bo llovo It orlglnnlly promised China pro tection only against Jnpnn, but was modified at China's request to lncludo protection against nggrcsslon by all foreign powers. China Invoked Its provisions after Gormnny secured Kino Chou, but Russia turned a deaf oar." 8TUDENT8 IN A RIOT. Demonstration and Fighting in 8t. Petersburg. ST. PETERSBURG, March 20.

Sovoral of thoso young women resisted arrest. Tho demon stration was hold, but, owing to tho prcsonco of tho troops, It was rather a mild affnir, although for h tlmo ho rious consequences seemed likely .to follow tho brutality of tho Cossacks in driving bnck tho pcoplo with whips. A number of students who hnd re cently protested ngulnst tho excom munication of Count Tolstoi nssom bled insldo tho cathedral nnd begnn smoking, shouting, throwing things nt tho holy Irrages nnd whistling whllo preparations were bolng mado for tho Bacramont.

Finally tho students ob tained a rod flag, nnd nn attompt by tho police to solzo It wus tho signal for a gonoral flgnt. IN GRASP OF BLIZZARD. Severe Storm Raging In the Missouri Valley.

European Diplomats Watching the Case With Interest. NEW YORK. Mnrcli 22. A Bpeclul to tho Hernld from Washington snyn: Tho European diplomats In Wash ington uro deeply Intorestod In tho nctlon of tho United States In sond Ing tho armored cruiser Now York to Morocco to nid tho Amorlean consul general In exacting nn apology and obtaining n settlement of claims ag gregating $60,000. Franco's Interest Is probably greator than that of any other country because It Is no secret that sho hopes somo day to oxtend her sovereignty over tho wholo north western coast of tho African contl nont. Franco requested tho United States Bomo tlmo ago to denounce Its negotiations with Tunis, over which a French protectorate had beon estab lished, and this would probably havo been a step in tho direction of hav ing tho United States donounco Its treaties with Morocco, under which It is proceeding in demanding tho net tloment of claims, Tho United Statos declined the request. It is treating with Morocco as n sovereign powor. Whllo no bomuardmont of any Moorish town Is contompluted, tho presonco of an American man-of-war Is expected to havo a salutary effect In obtaining immediate compliance with tho demands of this government. Tho Now York will remain nt Mnsnr gan until Consul Gonornl Gummoro returns from Marakesh, and an nounces a satisfactory settlement. Murder by Bulgarian Brigands. Washington, Mch. 22.
