England Not Serious.
JOHN BULL AT A DISADVANTAGE
Russo-American Understanding on a
Good Satisfactory Adjust
ment Looked For and the unpleas-
antness Not Necessarily Serious.

St Petersburg, March 2l-The
Russian press is not alarmed about
the Tien Tsin affair There 2 no
mention Of it in the official agency
DISPATCHES. but the London eorTespon-
dent Of The Noyoye Vremya ehafae-
terizes the dispute as uHimpoftaht
Another London correspondent quotes
a French diplomat as saying thdt an
Anglo-Russian war is Impossible 40
Russia need only threaten 10 supper
the Beers in order to bring diea'
Britain to her knees.
The Novosti advocates the Russo
Iananese alliance, which VIII .

LARGE market for her Industrial pIoa-
ucfs in Russian territory, where tney
will be protected against Ahglo-1ei
man copetitiom. In conclusion the ar
tiele DECLARES this alliance Is as I'M
nortant in the Orient as the France
Russian alliance Is in the Oceldeht.
The Novosti apparently REGARDS
the Russo American understanding as
permanent; as the paper does not
mention American competition IN rus
sian territory, which is stronger lhah
the Anglo. German competition.
pel1in March 21.--The British re.
Inducements, consisting # 80 marines,
which arrived at Tfen Tsin from the
Talsu forts to replace the lndiah
guards on the disputed land, are ex'
plained as due to a fear lest any III
cident arising out of the Russo-Brlt-
ish land question should cause the
French troops, whose conduct mas
given much trouble, to preelpltate
collision. The British commanders

Berlin March 21.-In German Of
fetal circles It is asserted that Brit
ish and Russian guards still occupy
the land in controversy at Tfen Tsln
and that satisfactory adjustment OF
the matter may be expected. The
press does not consider the 11en Isin
incident vital All the papers ex-
press a belief that Great Britain will
yield. The Vossische Zeitung says
that England cannot now afford to
engage in a serious conflict with Rus
STA. The Kreuz Zeitung, which takes
a similar view adds:
st would be indeed deplorable If
from mere local controversy there
should grow up serious differences,
because that would induce the Chi
nese t. show greater powers of re
sistanee."
In an able weekly review The
Kreuz zeitunr mentions series of
Russian adv sees in the far east, in
Guiding the acquisition of territory
at Hankow by means of which Rus
STA invaded the Yang Use district,
adding:
'Ail this England has had to en-
dure because the South African war
paralyzes her aggressive powers"
