The Trade Treaties W'itli Cblna.
If Russia keeps her promise to re
spect the commercial treaties marte by
other countries with China regardhij;
Manchuria tlie Tnited States can have
little more than an academic interest in
the situation in the far east. The ob
servance of tlie “open door” principle is
all that America asks of the rulers of
Manchuria, whether they be Kussian,
Chinese or .Tapant'so, and this seems to
be guaranteed by the treaty w'ith China

churia is no lon.uer a portion of the Chi
nese empire, and the exe<iuaturs of the
new consuls will come from Pekin.t;.
If Russia opjwses their entrance into
