While rejoicing at the fact that Eng.

main question-the integrity of the Chin

sponse to pressure brought by Japan

takes a pessimistic view of the Immediate
future in the far East. in spite of the set
tlemene of the Tien Tsin incident, and en-
tertains grave fears that the relations
between Japan and Russia may shortly

Judging from information obtained in
various official quarters in London, Japan
has confded to at least some of the Pow
ers her determination to oppose at all
costs any secret agreements made be-
tween Russia and China by which the
former could secure territorial or other
advantages.
The British have received no official
confirmation that the Japanese fleet is
mobilizing, but it would not be surprised
to learn that such were the facts.
WANTS FREE HAND.
A highly placed British official said to
a representative of the Associated Press
to-day:
..AlI Japan wants is free hand against
Russia. This she has got SO far as Eng
land and Germany are concerned, and, L
presume, so far as the United States
Government is concerned. although | 10
not imagine for one moment that any of
the Powers mentioned would be drawn
into q war between Japan and Russia.
If Japan sees nothing for it but to fight.
She would have the moral support of OBJ
jections committed to paper by at least
two other Powers against secret treaties
with China. That is all. but Japan seems
to consider it sufficient to provide against
interference"
