TROUBLE IN MANCHURIA
JAPANESE ATTACK AMERICAN CONSULATE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright PEKIN", April 7. Four Japanese, apparently out of private revenge, entered the American Consulate at Mukden, in Manchuria, attacked the native staff of the ConsulGeneral, and had them arrested and conveyed to tho Japanese ConsulateGeneral. No apology was offered. This is not the only indication we have had recently of friction between tho Americana and Russians in Manchuria, Mr Fisher, American Consnl at Harping, in Manchuria, recently refused to ask permission of tho Russian authorities to exercise Consular functions in Russia's railway zone in Manchuria. This caused irritation on tho part of the Russian authorities. dt is understood that Mr Fisher acted at the direct instance of the State Department at Washington, which seeks to preserve the integrity of tho Chinese possessions in Manchuria in order to protect tho trade interests of the commercial nations of Europe.
