The czar at Russia does not make hIs Inten-
tons known through the Russian provIncial

later might mean something. I Is set forth
In that journal that nussla will not tolerate
any partition of ChIna which will give Japan
a foothold In that empire. 1 Is even stated
that Japan must abandon all hold on Corea
because Russia' will not tolerate a Japanese
protectorate there. Probably tlc czar has not
authorIzed Iny statement at what he wants
or at what ho docs not want and will not
have yet there may be a tact at the bottom
of the slalement For Russia Intends to absorb -

The valor and warlIke accomplishments oC
Japan have no doubt given thc czar some bad
quarter hours. He must regard Japan 1
menace to his ambItions In the east. But ex-
acty , IS the czar refrained from steppIng. In

Bulgaria appears to be In an exceedingly

quarrel with Austria and Turkey , the two
powers whose Crleillshlp and support have

could not assail Bulgaria without Involving
