Peking Says That St. Petersburg Reports of Trouble Are Absurd.
    PEKING, March 21 .— Reports emanating from St. Petersburg to the effect that a conflict between Russia and China is impending are declared in official circles to be absurd. It is stated officially that China intends to restore order in inner Mongolia, where bands of Mongols are terrorizing the inhabitants.
    Col. Des Maillets, the French military adviser of the Government, asserts that China has no intention of attacking Urga, the seat of the Lama of the Mongols.
