RUssINs OBJECTIONS TO THE TREATY.
LONDON, APRIL 19-The Standards
THE newspapers continue 10 express
discomfort with the cession by China
of mainland territory TO Japan but only
a feeble idea is given by them Of the
extremely difhcult position in which Rus
STA is placed. 1t is a fact that the
gravest apprehension exists I'm political
circles, and il is evident that Russia
cannot submit TO the ratification of the
treaty under the present conditions. II
is very diincult to see what path will
remain open should Japan and China
persist IN the ratification. There are
excellent grounds for believing that Rus
STA will ask for the cessiOn Of other
Chinese mainland"

says:

| have sailed from this Sport for Nladivo-
stock and that a Thousand more Will
embark soon. The cruisers are all ready
TO transport them. despite the conclusion
of peace in the East"
