1t was necessary that Russia's prepara-

SPIRIT OF DISTRUST.
The feyerish activity OF Japan in the last
few weeks naturally increased the distrust
of her ultimate Intentions and the Rus
sian authorities have been pushing their
precautionary measures with more vigor.
It is understood that six or seven mill
tary trains daily have been going east
over the Siberian road and the charters OF
some ships cargoes for the Pacific have
been Cancelled because the water route
was considered 100 slow.

The Associated Press informant reiterat-
ed what he said few days ago:
we have conceded much already and
we are ready to concede more, but some
things We cannot grant. From our stand
point the Maneiturian question was set
tied by Russia's circular note to the Pow
ers recognizing all the Chineae treaties.
Why should Japan demand more than the
other Powers?'
The Russian papers to-day agree that
