ANOTHER ADVANCE.


] England Will make concessions TO
Russia. The general opinion OF the
press is that the speech makes war
certain. The newspapers are filed
with discussions Of the probable al
liancts the respective belligerents may
form in the event OF the war, now

VIII Russia Accept the English Proposals?
The Times in review Of the recent
past actions Of Russia, says: "The
spirit thus revealed gives little hope
that England's last overtures will re-

be considered anything else than
a deliberate act of aggression,
and this act of aggression has the ap.
pearance OF being specially chosen In

OF further mistake, II is plain breach
OF a solemn covenant, fragrant viola
ton or Russia's promise and assu-
RANGES"
The Last Hope of Peace Dispelled.
