pANICKY FEELING PREVAILS AT ST. PETERSBURG

his majesty will only proceed as far

there would be nothing extraordinary
in Nicholas ii going to the seat OF
war. On the contrary, it would be in
accordance with Russian custom, the
car generally taking the field with
his army.
No protest has been received there

that IL the occasion should demand IL

that China Is on tho verge Of throw

said, be the sign for a forward move

pire.
Japan, however, shows no enthu-
siasm for Cbins's assistance, being still
convinced that she can beat Russia
single handed and realizing that Obi

barrassments than profit.
