the inference that Russia intends war, and is
only trying to kill time till she can repai her
shattered ranks. The
PREPARATIONS IN ENGLAND
have reference to an expeditionary force.
The belief is gaining ground that Russia's
obstinate refusal to submit the whole treaty

the treaty, and whose PRONUNCIATION will be
put off to the very last possible moment.

for consideration. The whole discussion turn
rather on diplomatic prestige than on real in
terests. The feeling is such that some mem
bers of the official world in St. Petersburg dc
, clare that England has decided on war.
