ingt0n that steps were believed to have
been taken looking to mediation be-
tween Russia and Japan creates great
surprise here. The British govern
ment not only has taken no part in
such measures but apparently is ig-
norant that they are in progress. or
fetal opinion here, from Premier Bar
four down, is that the time is not yet
ripe for any offer OF mediation; but to
quote a person in Premier BalfOur's
confidence, Great Britain has kept the
door open for any such contingency
but ii is not likely that this govern
ment wOIli be acceptable in the role
OF arbitrator. but il would at the right
time use all its influence to urge the
belligereuts To accept the offer from a
suitable mediator"
From highest official sources here
aud from the japanese legation comes
the positive statement that whatever
has resulted from interviews between
King Edward and Emperor William at
Kiel that I'm any way was connected
with the RussotJapanese war, there
seems 10 be no doubt that the respOn-
sThIe ministers seriously warned King
Edward that he must not initiate any
step I'm that direction with his Imperial
nephew.
