AFFAIRS IN CHINA.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyrigh London, March 7.
General Gaselee made a farewell inspection of the Australian Contingent prior to their return, and warmly complimented them on their smartness, willingness, and efficiency. The Standard states that the Manchurian Convention between Russia and China has been finally signed. Mukyen is thus outside the cognisance of the Ministers of the Powers.
The Pekin Morning Post states that Russia has annexed Kinchau, 130 miles south-west Niuchwang, and has claimed all the industrial concessions in Mongolia as far as Kashgar, in Turkestan, and insists on building the Manchuria-to-Pekin railway. The fact of Japan having mentioned that she required'-equivalent concessions to those granted to Russia, coupled with the withdrawal of her troops from China, is interpreted as meaning that she is receiving the province of Fokien. Great Britain has advised China to defer the ratification of the Manchuria agreement till she consults with the Powers.
