MANUFACTURINa FIGHTING IBfPLE- |
NIENTs.
Military preparations continue una
bated, and the reserves are rapidly mo
bilizing. The barracks throughout the
kingdom are preparing qusrlers for

| STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER.
The STANDARD. says: "The extreme
tension in the relations between
| England and Russia continues, but
as yet tlere has been no absolute
diplomatic rupture; that is the least dis
quieting way III which the truth can be
told. The deadlock is not a whit less
serious because the day passed without
bringing q crisis. IL is no longer a
question of disputed frontier. We be-
lieve negotiations on that subject are
for the moment set aside. Satisfaction
for the Penjdeh incident monopolizes
the whole regard of Ito ministers and
ambassadors. The niuro II W discussed
the more hopelessly remote appears the
prospect of an agreement. In demand
ing satisfaction England Is simply tell
ing the mischievous fire brands who
shelter themselves under the authority
Of the czar that If they persist in the old
game they will no longer play 1t with
impunity."
