Press and Public Opinion
Set That Way.
.AUTOCRACY SAYS NAY
Yet M. Admabaza is Believed to Have
Gone East to Report to the
Emperor the Possibility
Of a Compromise
With Japan.
lBy the Associated Press J

st. Petersburg, Feb. 7.-7 p. M
The renewed peace talk finds not the
slightest echo in official and diplo-
matte circles at St. Petersburg, where
Emperor Nicholas oft-repeated dec
laration that the war must be carried
TO a satisfactory conclusion remains
the keynote OF the situation. The
prevailing opinion among diplomats
in ST. Petersburg. is that Japan and
Russia would choose France rather
than the United states. when the time
arrives to discuss terms Of peace. II
is difficult If not impossible 10 tell
when this time will come.
The present current of press anl
public opinion in Russia appears to
be setting towards peace. The
newspapers no longer proclaim the
necessity Of continuing the war al all
costs. Articles appearing in the Russ
and the Novoe Vremya over the sig
natures OF we'll known war corre-
spondents who have Just returned
from Manchuria criticise the conduct
OF operations there in unmeasured
terms. while these papers editorially
declare that hopes OF victory are re-
mote.
The war never has been in the full
est sense Of the word. popular. The
present distress and discomfort of the
working. class and the general de-
sire FOR reform eyinced by the upper
class may develop II strong peace
movement with which the movement
may have to reckon, but on the other
hand il is generally admitted that If
peace should be concluded under dis
advantageous conditions it would ma
teriaIly strengthen the enemies Of
the present government. which will
not not fail TO keen this fact in sight
and hone that some means can be
found Of reaching an adjustment sat
isfactory TO Russia and japan. This
places special Importance on the mis-
sion entrusted to NJ. Admabaza, di-
rector OF the committee on the Far
East. who is believed TO have gone
hithcr in order 80 report To the En-
peror the possibility Of reaching a
compromise with Janan without ma
teriaI prejudice to Russia's interest.
