LONDON, Match 22. Tho Foreign omcc
takes 11 pessimistic view of tha Immediate
situation In tlio east, In splto of tho settle
ment of the Tlcn ThI'ii question, nnd en
turtalns gravo fours t hut tho rotations ho
tween Japan nrnl HiiRstn may shortly reach
the danger point. JudKlnK from Informa
tion obtiilncil In various olllclal quarters In
London, Japan has confided to nt least somn
of tho powers her ill-termination to op
pose, at all costa, nny secret agreements
mndo between Russia and China by which
tho former could secure territorial or other
Advantages contiguous to Korea.
Tho Drltlsh government has received no
oindul confirmation that tho Japanese fleet
Is mobilizing, but it would not be surprised
to learn that such wcro tho facts. A
highly-plated IlrltUh official sold to a rep
lcctntatlvo nt the Associated Press today:
"All Japan wants is n free hand against
Ilussla. This r.hu has got, so far as Kng
lend an Germany nro concerned and, I pre
sume, so far us tha United States govern
ment Is concerned, although I do not Itn
11 K I " i for one moment that any of the
powers mentioned would hi drawn Into a
fight between Japan und Itusula. If Japan
Bees nothing for it but to light she would
have tho moral support of objections com
mitted to papor by at least two other
powers against secret treaties with China.
That Is all; but Japan seems to consider
It sufficient to provide against Interfer
ence." Jniini'Ni Heeretnry' .Statement.
Confirmation of tho foregoing definition
of tho situation wan afforded by tho secre
tary of tho Japancso legation, who said, In
tho courso of an Interview:
"Whllo rejoicing at tho fact that Kng
land and Itussla have reached a pacific
settlement over tho minor Issue, the main
question tho integrity of tho Chluese cm
plro remains unsettled. In response to
pressure1 brought by Japn'i upon Russia
jt wan announred that lluasla's socrot
trcatloa with China had been modified, but
tho terms hsvo Been withhold. Until we
sco tho treaties wo will not be satisfied
that tho modification does not consist of
words merely, without any alteration In
tho spirit. In this contention wo bcllevo
other powers will support us."
It appears that (treat Ilrltaln would be
qulto willing to refer tho whole Manchurlan
matter to arbitration on tho lines of The
llaguo conference. Tho Tien Tain siding
nfmlr is not considered Important enough
to bo disposed of In thin way and It will
Immediately becomo n matter of diplomatic
Interchange between St. Petersburg and
London.
Mut He I'ri'iuircil.
YOKOHAMA. March 23. Tho Japanese
press, when discussing tho Manchurlan
convention, recognizes tho dllllcultles of
Germany's position and admits that what
ever Japan doco, she must ho prepared to
do war.
The government of Korea, according to
advices from Seoul, announces the appoint
ment of ministers to various foreign coun
tries. It Is understood that this Is with
u view to securing foreign Inftuenco to
avert any attack upon tho Integrity of tho
peninsula.
Would Afreet Credit.
LONDON. March 22. Tho Statist tomor
row, after editorially discussing tho pos
sibilities of a conflict between Russia and
Japan, will sny: "It Is Idlo to deny that
thoro Is dungcr of now complications.
Nevertheless wo think peoco will bo pro
served and trust that Russia will glvo
satisfaction to Jupon In Korea, thus re
moving the danger of n rupture."
Whllo holding these views, tho Statist
will devote a column of Its llnanclul nowo
to considering how n Husso-Japuncso war
would affect tho money markets, it says
that riusslan securities would fall in Paris,
which would possibly bo able to soil a fair
amount of thorn In Now York. After this,
prices would largely depend upon tho courso
of tho war and whether other countries
took part,. Russian credit, tho Statist will
say, might possibly fall very low.

of tho disputed land nt Tien Tsln havo beeu

the promptness of Oeneral Harrow In call
