A POLITICAL MOVE.
Made by Japanese to Further Impress
 China.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-The report that Japan has sent an ultimatum to China threatening to repeat the Rye shitelni incident in the case of the cruiser Askold and the torpedo boat destroyer GroZoVoi at Shanghai, espe- cially after 1t was understood as ca bled to the Associated Press this morn ing that Russia has already agreed to the disarmament of the vessels, is re- garded here more as a political rath- CT than a military move, the purpose of which Is to oVerawe the Pekin gov ernment and to compel it to hence forth turn deaf ear to Russia and to recognize Japan as the dominant pow ar in the far east, it being inconceiva- ble that western power would per init her 10 carry out her threat to en- gage in hostilities in the neutral wat CTS of China
 The Russian authorities wno under stand the effect of display of force upon the Pekin government appre- ciate how greatly China las already been impressed by the unbroken record of the Japanese success on sea and land and are inclined to believe that Japans act is designed to compel China to stand firm against Russia's de- mand in the Ryeshitelni affair, \ to which China's answer was unsatisfac- tory.
 Should Russia then. regard China as the active ally of Japan, the purpose of the United States and other pow CTS in seeking to limit the area of the war, to prevent disorders and to pre- serve the neutrality of China, might be defeated. The whole situation is considered to be fraught with possibili- ties of ugly complications unless Ja- pan listens to the friendly counsel of the powers, whose advice in the case of the Ryeshitelni. it is nderstood, she has declined to follow.
