Poking, Aug. 22.
It appears that M. Karakhan's proposed amendment to His Note Mr. Yoshizawa ix not wholly factory to the latter and discussion in regurd to the matter is still being carried on. The matter is not expected to be settled for some day. Meanwhile, M. Karakhan has nor replied to the Note of the Protocol Power. Therefore, the question of the Russian Legation remains at a standstill.
Sir Ronald Macleay, the British Minister, formally called on M. Karakhan yesterday.—Reuter's Pacific Service.
