ROOM ENOUGH IN ASIA.

St Petersburg, Sept 24.-The Novoe Vremya, commenting upon Lord Rose berry's words at Edinburgh that there Is room enough in Asia for Russia and England" says:
 sNThis formula is out of date, since {, Great Britain by her alliance with Japan has introduced third power into the Asfatic domain, and 1t is doubtful if there is room for all three. Great Britain's alliance has also placed her in a most awkward position. She would like to be neutral, but she can, not. This explains her peculiar att. tude towards Russia and the necessity under which Russia would labor in meeting out special treatment to Eng land, all of which is not good for the peace of the world. Y
 The NoYosti admits that the British policy still lacks confidence towards Russia, but adds that as events develop in Asia the traditional mistrust will have to give way before realities. The. two powers, the paper says, must come to terms for their mutual defense against the common rivals, Germany and Japan.
 A well known naval writer, M. Belo- nor. urges the prompt departure of the Baltic fleet, etc. The paper urges the prompt departure of the Baltic fleet. saying that every day's delay is enabling Japan to complete more war ships.
 An admiral writes to the Novoe vremya bewaiEing the lack of enter prise and determination in the man Rgement of the Russian navy, to which he ascribes the failures of the squad, rons in the far east in their operations and of the auxiliary cruisers recently commissioned to stop contraband of war. He insists on the necessity for sweeping reforms In the admiralty ands the introduction of up to date methods in shfp-building.
