st. Petersburg. June 1s.-Information
that leaked out from the war Office to-

Ing for another gigantic struggle In the
far East. with the Chinese along the Mon

little brown islanders Of Japan.
Trained Russian soldiers are being set

weapons and under japanese officers. has
gathered in the last two years
Back OF the troops swarms OF traders.
coolies, and mechanics are pouring into
the country from Shanghai. Riangsu. and
other provinces. whence they are sent to
plant Chinese industry and commerce IN
a Territory hitherto left solely to rowing
bands Of MongoIs.
The new arrivals are not only stealing
Russian trade, but are drifting across the
border into Russian territory. from which
the Russians do not yet feel strong
enough to expel them forcibly.
Among the Mongol princes the bitterest
feeling has grown up at the restrictions
this development OF their country has put
upon them. The Russians are certainly
more sympathetic than the Chinese with
the MOngOlian sentiments Of independ-
ence. and IN the event Of the threatened
struggle, the native Mongolians will side
with the MuscOvites.
