An pi a nation 0/ tlio Failure ot the Chinese Government to Si»n .Miincliurian Treaty.

Washington, March 2S.—The British Kovernniont has protested against Chinn making a convention wit.li any povror touching territorial or financial affairs until the present troubles in ti^at euun!rv arc considered. The fact the P.ritish protest was made known here for the ijrst time by a dispatch from one of the foreign oilicers of Europe. It says lhat the protest was made through Sir Krnest Sutow, the British minister at Tekiu. It dues not state when the representations were made, but. it is taken that the protest occurred within the last day or two. /."Although (he Russian agreement is not specifically referred to, it is said to be clear that the British action is directed against the Kussian agreement. The language appears to be similar to that used by Secretary Hay in the American protest. The effect of the British action is to place the United States,

Japan and Great Britain in formal opposition to the signing of a convention by China with any power pending the settlement of the Chinese troubles. The course of (Jreat Britain is the more significant from the fact that, that gOTerument and Germany have a written alliance relating to Chinese affairn.

The concurrence of these protests probably explain why the Manchuriau agreement has not been signed. There was something of a stir in diplomatic quarters over the report coming from Oiiicial sources lhat the United States was considering the advisability of addressing liussia directly on the subject. Heretofore the American objections to the Manehurian government have been addressed to China. Copies were furnished the Kussian authorities, though the protest in form has lx'en to China and not to Russia. Several of the foreign representatives advised their governments (hot this step was contemplated by the United States, but. there is no otlicial information available as to how far the consideration of the move has proceeded. I'ekin dispatches say thai., oflieiul notice has been received there that the treaty with Kussia as to Man chtiria had been finally rejected by the Chinese government on tin* expiration of the limit of lime for signing. The notice simply stales that the- Government ret uses 11. assent lo 1 Ik? convention.

('ourte.-ies lo the Dead

I'ekin. March U.S. The bodies of six American murines who were killed during the siege of the legations and buried ID the Kussian legation, were removed yesterday for shipment to the United States. in addition to the American troops in I'ekin, the M011ocacy. Commander K. M. Wise, sent a detachment of marines to be preseut at the disinterment. The courtesy of the Russians deeply moved all ihe Americans. Two Russian companies part ipated in all the ceremonies. The Russians guarded the disinterred bodies all night and rendered all the Russian military honors to the dead.

Will Not Itcs.ort to Force. Washington, March 28.—Secretary Long has cabled an order to Rear Admiral Rodgers, on board the cruiser New York, at Tangier, to proceed at once with that vessel to Manila.
