today the fact developed that no time

via building at Genoa Italy for which
Russia also was negotiating.
Russian. Press Comment
St Petersburg. Dec. 30—Foreign
dispatches received here yesterday af-
ternoon are reflected today In mor3
pessimistic editorials. The Novoe
Vcimya begins with:
■There is no war today; tomorrow
there may be war.”
The paper rather fatalistically
directa attention to the fact that wara
marked the opening of the seven-
teenth eighteenth and nineteonlh cen-
turies.
The Novoe Vietnya further says K (
still professes faith in a peaceful set-
tlement. saying-
•We believe Japan will not place I
Russia in a positlop where to ylel-J
will appear to be renunciation of de-
fense of her Vital Interests in the far
gaat. Russia does not desire war
ent nobody in Russia will permit the.
Japanese or other friends to execute
a diplomatic dajice upon Russia’s
peaceful disposition in the firm con- J
sciousness of her power Russia will
await events.”
Peaceful Views In Germany.
Berlin Dec. 30.—The foreign office
continues to assure inquiries' that the
Corman government does not believe
war will Issue from the Japanese-Rus-
sian controversy. This is also the
views of the press whether derived
from official sources or as independ-
ent opinion. It does not appear as
Sir Frank Clascelles British ambas-
sador here as previously cabled said
that war is not unlikely unless Russia
yields. The Japanese legation be-
lieves and hopes Russia will grant
J a nan’s just requests. Baron Von
Sacken. Russian ambassador has been
accepting Invitations In tinusnal num-
bers appearing at breakfas'.s recep-
tions. dinners and balls serene and
confdent always taking it as an im-
possibility that the situation In the
far east Is even grave. Others of the
diplomatic corps seem to Ite without
news and express the general ideas
ss easy and safe one being that “hos-
tilities are quite unlikely." and each
side la testing Hr adversary to the
breaking point. Everywhere there is
anxiety for authoritative news that
shall bring the period of suspense to
an end. The mobllisaUon of the Ja-
anese navy is at least partially at-
tributable according to a Vladlvos-'
lock dispatch <n the Cologne Gazette
to open acts of hostility on the part
of the Coreans toward Japan proba-
blv necessitating active measures nf
defense of Japanese interests in
Southern Corea. The Cologne Gazette
ebnslders this dfknttch Is an admis-
sion that Japan has a good claim to
defend her Interests in .Southern
Corea by a force of arms and con-
troverts rumors to the effect that
Russia would regard the landing nf
any considerable Japanese force In
Southern Corea as a casus belli. The
paper concludes: “The attitude of
Russia on this question may there-
fore be regarded ns a further conces-
sion on her part.”
