CHINESE EASTERN RAILWAY.
DEADLOCK IN SALE j NEGOTIATION. j MANCHUKUO'S THREAT. | (l'Ki'ikd riisss assuciatiox-i.v zi.ccjs.lc TELEGSAi'U—COPATUGHT.) (Received July 9, 5.5 p.m.) KOBE, July 8. The negotiations for the sale of the Chinese Eastern Railway have reached a deadlock because Russia asks for 250,000,000 yen, and Manchukuo offers 50,000,000. In the event of the negotiations not being resumed, Manchukuo will take possession of the railway forcibly, besides blockading the present termini. The Foreign Office has as- i sented to this proposal. [The Chinese Eastern railway runs across Manchuria, and is Russia's shortest railway connexion with Vladivostok. It was built by Russia in return for certain concessions early in this century, and was jointly owned, staffed, and controlled by China and Russia until the conquest of Manchuria by the Japanese. The Japanese alleged lately that the Soviet was confiscating rolling stock from the j line. Sharp notes were exchanged j until the Soviet offered to sell its in- | terest in the line.] i - I
