Russia Patrolins Railway Nearly to

London. March THE Pekin correspon-
dent of the Times has visited the railway
outside the great wall aud comments on
l,ussia'S refusal to respect its neutrality
as compelling Japan similarly to dsre-
gard its neutrality. The correspondent
says:
Russia Is patrollng the railway nearly
to the great wall with small bodies of
cavalry. At every station there are two
SCENTS of guards, one composed of Gen.
\ uan kai'S well-behaved troops and the
other of undisciplined troops sent by the
Tartar general of Mukden. There are 20
of Gen. Yuan KaiS men at each station
with larger body at Sin Min Iun. With
the exception of the railway guards there
are TO Chinese foreign-drilled troops out
side the wall in the Manchuria province.
tussia forbids any increase in their num-
berS.
lit is believed that when the river
opens the Russians will destroy the gun
boat Sivontch at New Chwang to prevent
her capture.

bles that he has had an interview with

cd that the issue of the war was not
doubtful. The minister said, that even
assuming the most unfavoratle hypoth-

will not be touched. The expenditure, he
said, must not be compared with Great
Britain's enormous expenditure in South
Africa. Russia will not have to buy $76,-
O0a,000 worth of horses abroad.
The most that will be spent in this di-
rection will be $4,000 600 and it will all be
spent within the empire. Similarly. the
cost of transporting the troops will not
go out of the empire but swell the re-
