One reason why the British alarm ists news lulls to convince the Rus sians is the perfect understanding here oil the ueneiiis she derives from a continuance ul the strained situation, it was known here a vear ago that Great Britain was planning to occupy, Thibet and extend the railroad to point in the fang Tse valley which is reachable by gunboats from the sen ut this time excites both admiration, ana rage, the former for the clever political movement, tho latter because Russia is so pro-occupied in the Far East that she is unable to prevent Great Britain ir in creating her own Manchuria in the Yang Tse province. It is ; . aoi c. .i here that the pres lent ; lUiatior. affords Great Britain the same advantage as actual war be tween Russia and any third power. in official circles here the delay in. presenting LUnslas reply to Japan Is not regarded a:, unnious. On the con trary tin- .act that Prussia, In accord ance with l pm; request, is actual ly reviewing tho matters in uisputa is regarded ns a favorable sign. It is pointed out that had Russia replied immediately unfavorable deductions might have been drawn, and although Russia believes her proposals were ex tremely conciliatory, containing ail the concessions she con make thi3 does not exclude the possibility of find ing alternative propositions In. some portions of the general scheme of set tlement, which may inoro closely co incide with Japan’s wishes. If care ful reconsideration discloses the pas nihility of such a course, it is said that there is every reason to believe it will gladly bo embraced. China Fears War.
