that the result will be
MORE BRITISH CONCESSION
and further Russian advantages. That
portion of the English press which
has been most aggressive and pessi-

Thornton that, during the discussion
OF The question of the observance OF
the agreement of March 18TH, the
work of delineating the disputed AT

the commissioners as TO the right'ul

occupation of Iulticar. IL is also
reported that Detiicrs asks that dur
