Set Of Questions Propounded 10
china Seems to Prove This Theory.

sprtili cable Dispatches 10 THE SUN,
LONDON. May 1.-THE st. Petersburg
,orrespondent Of the DAILY Telegraph says
that from inquiries and interviews he de-
buces the following;
That Russia intends TO protect effeotually
the Manchurian railway, and will conse-
nuentIv never lack specious pretexts for
Including in the work Of protection every
conceivable demand which her political
md economic interests may induce her TO
r,t forward. Hence, among other things,
The railway terminal at Newchwang must
tenain wholly in Russian hands.
She must also ehectually control the
Sanitary Board which will enable her at
any tire to paralyze foreign trade under
The pretence Of warding OF danger Of in
lection. That will be her method OF max
hg Up for her industrial and commercial
Inferioriry and it can be thwartcd only by
Joint action Of the Powers.
OF this combination there is as yet no
fear in st, Petersburg. Everybody asserts
that the United States will hold aloof from
Great Britain and japan, that Germany
will encourage Russia to cling to her policy,
and that France will romain faithful to her
siuscoyite ally.
The Cars government will not be de-
TERED by anything short OF the certainty
that it can compass it's aims only by fighting
for them. Al present no such conviction
prevails Everybody believes that the
platonic protests OF England and Japan
constitute the only obstacle to success.
The Americans. therefore, have the
casting vote. provided that they, as well al
japan and England. are as much in earnest

The shouting was helpful In one respect.

on the police pier, some distance from the
