In London the events Of Wednes-
day brought no relief to the suspense
nor any diplomatic achievement to re-
strict the Austro-Seryian war to those
two nations. The feeling through
out England and the continental feel
ing, as reflected by the correspondents
of the London papers, are distinctly
more anxious. The events have made
for pessimism. Direct negotiations
between Russia and Austria, which
gave other governments hope of a
compromise. have failed. Russia is
mobilizing against the Austrian from
tier four army corps in each Of four
districts, consisting of 1,2S0,0O0 men.
Russia's resolution to stand by Servia
appears to be fixed.
A manifesto by the Russian en-
peror making his policy clear is ex-
pected hourly.
The diplomatic representatives
have not yet despaired. All say there
yet is hope and base their belief on
the fact that Germany, France, Great
Britain and Iitaly-the last two nam
ed most of aldo not want war and
do not think the Austro-Servian quar-
rel important enough to justify it.
St. Petersburg messages say Russia
asked Austria for direct exchange
of views and that Austria refused
this offer. The refusal appears to
have been to extend the much dis
cussed negotiations which Tuesday
were considered in the chancellories
as the principal known basis for op-
timism.
