As a result tho Russian government will be advised by tho ambasador that he haa the beat assurances that the interest of this country in Manchuria ia absolutely and exclusively commercial and that tho consuls sent to Mukden and Antung will confine their activities to the faithful rare of American trade interests In that country. Count Cassini called at the Stale department today to inquire into certain statements wjiieh several European diplomats hJa-- bad brought to hia attention and Interpreted to Indicate a change of iKiliry on the part of this government In the direction of political intervention In Manrhurla. The ambassador himself was unwilling tn liellrve that any such' change was even contemplated. In view of his understanding throughout the negotiations here that the United States interests in Manchuria were those of trade, not territory. This conviction waa confirmed by his visit to Ihe State department. The conference lietween the Secretary and the Ambassador waa characterized by frank cordiality on both mIiIcs. The Ambassador wu assured that this government decs not contemplate Ihe substitution of a iKiUtlral for a commercial policy in tho Far East.

With thia feeling prevailing, the work of the convention wu eully accomplished. Many Important questions have been not from the atockman'e standpoint, alone, but from other points of view. Of these quest inns tbe moat iraiNirtant were the public lands relative to grazing, the relation of railroads to tbe stock Industry and, moat Imimrtani of all. the establishment of independent packing houses.
