WILL BRING STRONG
PRESSURE TO BEAR
European Powers to Try and
Influence Japan.
TO ACCEPT RUSSIAN NOTE.
u She Refuses All OVertures and Con-
tinues Recalcitrant, All Responsible
ity for War and Its Consequences
Will Rest With Her.

New York, Feb. 2.-In the best in
formed political circles here the con-
vlctlon is expressed that a peaceful
solution of the Russo-Japanese affair
is assured, cables the Paris correspon-
dent of The Times A diplomatic
arrangement has been reached, the dis
patch contiNues, between the French
minister OF foreign affairs and the Brit
lsh ambassador here by virtue of
which it is agreed that both the Brit
ish and French governments will bring
strong pressure to bear upon Japan to
new Russian note.
The language in which this note is
to be oOuched has been submitted, the
correspondent says, to both the /
ish and French foreign Offices and is
recognized to be most conciliatory in
effect.
Should Japan refuse to yield to
France and Great BrItains overtures,
other European powers will add the
weight of their persuasions to the
same end, and then if Japan contin-
ues recalcitrant, all the responsibility
for war and its consequences will
rest with her and all Europe will wa
her hands of the business.
The recent entente cordiale between
France and Great Britain has been
chiefly helped in permitting this un-
asrstanding between the French and
British diplomats as to the Russo-Jap-
Gnese question to be brought about.
