RUSSO-JAPANESE DISPUTE Rejectloi by China ol Russian Proposals Re gardiof Manchuria May Prevent War ol England sad Jipti Against Russia. NKW YOKK, March 2.1. A special to the Tliies from Washington says: The Russo-Chlnese treaty has been Vn' States Unapprove of the Man rejevted by China. The powers oppose! cn'"'idn convntk. Even Fram e re to the Russian acquisition of China 1 ar,,s II as ,n inflict with the original have won the first round and there is j ,Kvl!,rH -a '"a to by the powers, in every reason to brieve that notes are cluJin RuilsJ'1- 0m,t Hritain wll! passing between thorn with a view to ' ""PP"'' Japan in cae of war. The preventing any further efforts on Rus- j l'nit"J States w ill morally approve of ila's part to secure a convention wHhlJa,an ' rmany nat China.. The sudden face-about on China's art Is the result of work done by other powers. The way In which It was done Is a secret that Is being closely guarded, but It Is certain that pres sure from European capitals was the cause of China's rejection of the treaty. This is of course only a temporary check to Russia She can now insist that China accept the treaty or. If nec essary, some modifications In it will give ground for re-openlng the subject. It Is to prevent this that, according to reliable Information, negotiations are now going on between the powers. The proof which the rejection of the treaty furnishes that Russia's influence at the Chinese court is not omnipo tent has evidently given encouragement to the opposition powers to believe that the game can be blocked as far as the treaty is concerned. However, even if they succeed in preventing Russia from concluding any kind of an agreement with China, they will nut have made any progress toward getting her out of Manchuria. RL'SSO-JAPANESE WAR. LONDON, March 23. The Statist, af ter editorially discussing the possibili ties of a conflict between Russia and Japan, says: "It Is Idle to deny that there Is dan ger of new complications. Neverthe less, we think peace will be preserved and trust that Russia will give satisfac tion to Japan in Cor?a, thus removing the danger of a rupture." While holding thos? views the Statist devoted a column of its financial news to considering how a Russo-Japanese war would effect the money markets. It says that Russian securities would fall in Paris, which would possibly be able to sell a fair amount of them in New York. Ater this prices would largely depend upon the course of the war and whether other countries took part. Russian credit, the Statist gays, migh'. possibly fall very Inv, EXCITEMENT IN JAPAN. .

March 23.-Specul.Uive enthusiasm has run v.ry high during the WV'k owing to the continued ea of money, the success ..f the str-1 m. r gtr and reports of plans for further consolidations and absorptions of rail roads. Profit taking caused a mid-we. k re action, which was aggravated bv the strained situation by th? British and Russian at Titn Tsin. the faiiutv of tile peace negotiations in Suth Africa and uneasiness lest the absorption of the h-avy surus of the government revenues should siue-ze the money market. Demands from shorts, who sold in the reaction, helped the recovery and new points of strength developed. Con stant and heavy selling to take specu lative profits kevt the market more or lfc?s Irregular and un-ttl-d at all times. Iow grade bonds continued in large de mand and were subject to the same speculative effects as stocks. KING I? GRATEFCU Sends Thanks to Canadian S viety of Nrw York for Condoen-ts.
