Saying Russia Must Now Choose

More Talk of yellow Peril.


ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. % - The
exchanges regarding the Russian re-
Spouse to the Japanese note are still
progressing, and the foreign Office here
announces that there is no change in
the situation. The japanese legation
does not credit the report from Tokyo
that Japan has requested Russia to
hasten her reply. M. Kurino, the Jap
anese minister, has received no instruc-
tons on the subject On the contrary,
he apparently realizes that the delay
is consequent upon exchanges between
St Petersburg, Viceroy AleXieff and
Baron de Rosen. the Russian minister
at Tokyo. NJ. Kurino reiterates his
opinion that Japan will not press Rus
sia for reply.
The admiralty insists that the move
ments of Russian ships in the neighbor-
hood of Port Arthur are entirely with.
out significance, saying In explanation
that they are probably merely routine
changes of station and certainly made
without the expectation of a collision.
A prominent admiral said:
"The admiralty believes in the peace
full termination of the negotiations,
Some of our ships in the far east are
still in reserve. The steps now being
taken should be described as precau-
tionary rather than warllke prepare
tons"
Some Of the Russian newspapers are
again becoming bellicose. The Bourse
Gazette declares that Russia has reach
ed the parting of the ways and must
now choose her position and maintain
it, 1t discusses seriously "the yellow
peril" contending it to be the duty Of
