. Toxic, jan 1.-THE note of the
Russian government to the powers
calling attention to the alleged viola
ton by China of her declared neu-
trality which Russia charges has
been at the instance of Japan; the
raid of Mistechenko's cavalry south
west of Lao YANG resulting in Jap
anese claim of deliberate invasion
of neutral territory: and the alleged
violation of French neutrality by
the vessels of the second Pacific squa
dron in making a prolonged stay at
the island of Madagascar, have Great
ed the impression in official quarters
here that the Russians are trying to
involve France. China and other pow
ers in the Russo-Japanese troubles
in the Far East so that Russia may
be enabled to take her defeat with
greater grace.
A prominent official said to a cor
respondent of the Associated Press
today: France recently denied that
the vessels Of the Russian second Pa
cific squadron were stopping at Mad
agascar, but since then it has utter
ed no word, and the situation is one
calling for explanations.
st. Petersburg, jan 1.-THE Rus
sian papers protest against the i'm
cavalry violated Chinese neutrality,
even if they, of which there is at
present no evidence, crossed the Lao
river above New Chwang claiming
that the small strip on the west bank
is distinctly reserved as included in
the sphere of hostilities. The whole
daring cavalry raid on Japanese com
munications was welcomed here as
a happy augury of the operations of
the new year. The general staff does
not give encouragement to the idea
that it was a precursor of a serious
Russian movement

lieved. the ambassa or communicated
an important message from President
Roosevelt. At neither the foreign Of
fee nor American embassy is the slight
est light thrown on what transpired.
From the extreme secrecy observed the
matter is beyond doubt one of the
greatest deiicacy. but the statement is
vouchsafed at the foreign office that
negotiations are proceeding without
hitch. and the inference follows that
IT relates to new phase, i'm which the
president has taken the Initiative. This
IS more certain since the communica-

he had done good work. but that his
usefulness in the diplomatic service Is
now at an end. The president adds
that he would direct that Mr.. Bowen's

statement that he would consider a re-
