All the prominent Russian oficials

War Kuropatkin, Admiral Alexieff, the
Russia ministers at Picking and Seoul,
the political agents in China and
Korea, including M. Pokotiloff, recent
ly Russian financial representative at
Picking, General Dessino, the military
agent in China, the civil and military
officials at Muekden, Hardin and Kir-

The proceedings at the conference
are enveloped in profound secrecy. 1t
is popularity supposed that the Rus
sian officials are considering war ques-
tons.
The commercial foreign officers at
New Chang and Port Arthur believe
that the possibility of war is increas-
ing steadily. The Russian policy is
believed to be to hold the Manchurian
position and to take no steps to avert
hostilities with Japan II 1t is assured
that Japan will fight unaided. The
war feeling among the Japanese in
China is intensifying.
