RUSSIA'S DIPLOMACY.

At first sight there would seem 10 be
something encouraging in the news that
the Russian Government, through Vice
Admiral AleSieff, has asked China for
an expression Of her intentions with re-
gard to the Province OF Mancburia, eX-
pressing at the same time I desire that
China shall csum the government Of
that territory under Russian protection.
Unless there is in this policy, to the
official Chinese mind, L menace OF a
Russian protection that shall virtually
amount to occupation and control. the
communication from the Cars Gov
eminent should have i somewhat quiet
ing effect upon Chinese national senti-
inent. Great Britain. perhaps, Of I'LL the
European Powers, may not be satisfied
with such an arrangement, but It is Diff
ticult to perceive under existing condi-
tons how q British protest, II contem-
plated, could lie effective.
Undoubtedly, also, the Russian Gov
Ill has outlined in this COMMUNE
cation the extreme concession which it
is prepared TO make in Manchuria- It's
TrapsSiberian railway interests would
seem TO demand 4 fOothold OF Russian
influence in Manchuria, this fact having
been so freely acknowledged already as
to give rise TO the belief that Russia
was contemplating the permanent grab
bling OF Manchuria, 1t is not likely,
therefore, that the request now await
ing the action of the Chinese Govern
ment has occasioned great surprise in
diplomatic circles.
The situation is interesting, if only as
indicating that Russian diplomacy still
holds first place Tor tiuesse and sagacity
in the councils of Europe. The Russians
are playing for Russian gain, OF course,
but they are playing 4 shrewd hand.
In this country the policy which they
are following would be described as
based on the homely truth that molasseS
catches more flies thar vinegar. And
this policy is good diplomacy unless the
moment has arrived Tor the showing of
the mailed fist
