RUSSIAN COMMENT ON COREA.
The "Novoe Vremya's" Bitter Criticism
Governments Neutral Attitude.

St Petersburg, July 23.-The Russian press to-day
gives tardy expression its views the recent
happenings in Corea. Most of the radical news
papers content themselves with the publication Of
the news dispatches without comment. The
"Rech,' however comes out with a brief article
IN which II calls the alleged Japanese abuse OF
Corean independence the most slaring injustice
Of our times" The "NuvOe Nremya'' sarcastically
contrasts the lofty principles enunciated by the
japanese delegates TO the Peace Conference at The
Hague with the ''wanton disregard OF Corean
rights and susceptibilies by the japanese govern
meut." 1t recognizes. however that Russian In
teTvoItion is out Of the question.
The Foreign once maintains a strictly neutral
attitude based the assumption that the abdica-
ton Of the Emperor was not accompanied by any
violation Of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty, which, II
is explained the Foreign Office, Russia IS scrupu-
lousy observing The Foreign Office considers,
moreover, that the recent occurrences have In no
wise changed the existing facts, explaining that the
japanese have been absolute masters of Corea for
the last two years. The Japanese an official
said to-day, now have opportunity TO exhibit a
broad degree of statosmansh!p in restoring order
and content in Corea."
