The foreign ofllco takes a gloomy view of the situ ation in the cast , in spite of the. set tie- went of the Tien Tsln question , and entertains grave Tears that the rela tions between Japan and Russia may shortly reach the danger point. Judg ing from Information obtained hero Japan has conlidcd to at lea t s. me of the powers her determination to op pose at all cost any secret arrange ments between Russia and China by which Russia would secure territorial or other advantages near Korea. The foreign oillce has received no confirma tion that the Japanese fleet is mobiliz ing , but It tvould not be surprised to learn that such were the facts. A high British olllclal said today : "All Jiipan wants Is a tree hand u alnst Russia. This she has got so faros England and Germany are con cerned , and I presume , so far as the United States government is concerned Jthough 1 do not imagine tor one mo ment that any of tiie powers men tioned would be drawn Into a war be tween Japan and Russia. If Japan sees nothing for it but to light she would have the moral support of ob jections committed to papi-r by at least two other powers against secret treaties with China. That Is all ; but Japan seems to consider itsulllclcnt to provide against Interfere'nco " CONKMMS WORST 1IEMEKS. - * > Conilimation of the foregolngdefini tion of the sit nation was affoidtd by Ibhc secretary of the Japanese legation , who said in the course of an inter view : "While reji icing at the fact that England and Russia have reached a pacific settlement over the minor is sue , the main question the Integrity of the Chinese empire remains unset tled. In response to pressure brought upon Russia it was announced that Russia's secret treaties with China had been modified , 'out the terms have been withheld. Until we see the treaties we will not be satisfied that the modification does not consist of words merely , without any alteiation in the spirit. In this connection wo believe other powers will support us. " It appears that Great Britain would toe willing to reler the whole Manchu- riau matter to arbitration on the liius of The Hague conference. The Tien Tbin siding affair is not constdeied Important enough to be disposed of In tills way and it will immediately be come a matter of diplomatic inter change between St. Petersburg and 'London.

Leirnlng that both had received In- st'-iictions ' from their governments , Count von Waldersee said it was use less for him to give even an opinion regard ing the matter at Issue. It is the general opinion Tien In Tsin that the feeling Is not likely to reach a point where blood would be shed. Both detachments on guard have orders to do nothing aggressive unless forced to do so. Except the army and camp followers , the only persons now residing here are the members of the consular staff , two clerks and two Jews , who are running stores , and who left Russia in older to save their lives. These are now being offered inducements to move to tne Russian concession. The French concession Is qulot.

The ofllclals of the British foreign office have not yet received ofllolal continuation of Russia's alleged back down in regard to the Manchuria , Turkestan and Mongolia , and inquir ies on the subject are now being made at St. Petersburg and Pekln.

On all sides It is oillclally and otherwise said , that Great Britain iias not the Blight-1 es't contemplation of resorting to hostilities against Russia , whatever ma } bo the outcome of present nego tiations. While hostilities are outof the ques tion , however it Is not unlikely that thcdlplomatlcrolations between Great Britain and Russia will become strained almost to the breaking point. Possibly British warships may bo dls- p ilched to bring pressure to bear upon Russia , but war will not result unless Eome fracas unauthorized by London and St. Petersburg occurs between the opposing forces at Tien Tsln.
