TIE RUSSIAN FEELING
st. Petersburg Lays the Blame Upon
Japan.

Japan.
ST Petersburg, Feb. 8.-Although
the fear was general here yesterday
that the presentation of the Russian
note to Japan might be followed by an
act on the part of the Japanese gov
eminent which would plunge the two
countries into war, the startling action
of Japan in seyering diplomatic rela-
lions with Russia before the actual de-
livery of the Russian note, came like
a bolt from clear sky. 1t was be-
lieved that the receipt Of the note
might have unmasked an ultimatum,
but that Japan would sever diplomatic
relations, a step little short OF dec
laration OF war, was almost like blow
in the face under the present ciTcum-
stances, and it is resented here ac-
cordingIY The authorities believe
this action places Japan distinctly in
the wrong before the world. and. more
over, after such a piece Of impu-
dence, as it is denominated here,
makes easy an appeal to the patriot
ism of the Russian people.
The news that at any moment Japan
had drawn the sword and that the
first clash had occurred would not be
surprising. The events leading to
Japan's abrupt action have marched
with great rapidity. The Russian note
was already in the hands of Baron de
Rosen, Russian minister at Toxic, for
delivery to Baron Komura, the Japan
csc foreign minister, when NJ. Kurino,
the Japanese minister here, presented
himself at the foreign office and in
formed Foreign Minister Lamsdorf
that his government, in view of the
delays in connection with the Russian
answer and the futility of the negotia-
tions considered it useless to continue
diplomatic relations and would take
such steps as it deemed proper for the
protection of Japans interests. In
obedience to instructions therefore, he
asked for his passports.
Exactly what else passed at this in
terview is not known, except that
Count Lamsdorf expressed surprise
and regret at this hasty resolve of the
mikado's government NJ. Kurino re-
ceived his passports and, after consult
ing with Sir G. S. Scott. the British
ambassador here, he returned to his
legation, where the preparations for
his departure had already commenced.
