rhe Eastern sItuation.

London. Jan. 20.-With the exception
Of the London Times, which prints a
rather pessimistic despatch from DIR.
Morrison, its Pekin correspondent, the
newspapers today continue to assert that
developments in the far East indicate the
possibility of peace. DIR. Morrison says
this optimism of Europe is based on
ignorance of the exact situation. He
says the japanese note recently sent in
reply to Russia's counter proposition was
the strongest that has as yet passed be-
tween the two powers, and that it leaves
the Russian government but alterna-
tive, either to take a firm stand, which
would mean a clash, or to back down
considerably from its position.
The Manchester Guardian, ON the
other hand, quotes a British official justre-
turned from the East, who considers that
there is greater hope than ever for peace
He says Russia is preparing to withdraw
in Manchuria, and revert to the policy OF
her evacuation convention with China,
which stipulates that Russia shall take
such steps as will protect her railway
interests, but will otherwise yield to
China independent sovereignty in Man
churia.
London, Jan. 20.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Pail Mall Gazette wires
that he is assured in an absolutely trust
worthy quarter that Russia has positively
decided for peace. She will answer
Japan's latest note by complying with
all the japanese important demands.
Russia, the correspondent adds, is now
hesitating as to whether she should
notify Japan exclusively that she means
to have peace or send a general notifca-
ton 10 all the noMers.

sian general in st. Petersburg whose
position is such as to enable him to re-
feet faithfully the views prevailing
among the immediate dominating spirits
in the following of the Emperor. He
said
"There is nothing satisfactory in the
reply of Japan. That is known to us
all. In my opinion, no amount of
petty concessions, such as those we can
offer Japan, can alter the main points
at issue aud upon which there can be no
compromise.
"Russia needs and demands Manchuria
as her W and cannot admit japanese
domination and supremacy in her
sphere Of interest, or whatever you Ike
to call it. In Korea the position of
Japan and Russia at present is like that
Of two prizefghters stripped in the
the arena ready to fight. Each knows
it will be hard fight and each knows
be is going to be badly punished. Even
the stronger man, who feels he is going
TO win, is afraid to draw first blood.
They do not even know whether some
of the onlookers are going to break
through the ropes and mix in the melee"
When asked whether the ratification Of
the Chinese treaty for the open door in
Manchuria had not made things awkward
for Russia, the Generals face assumed a
~quizical expression. He replied {:
"Surely no one can be simple enough to
imagine that Russia has said her last word
on that question" This is exactly what
is heard in other directions-that Russia
had her hand forced and bowed to cir
cumstances, but China has not beardthe
last Of the question by any means.
NJ. Bejobrazof, the new Secretary of
State, a prominent member of the far

war did not break out at once it would
surely do so within six months. Healso
stated hat neither the Gar nor the
