A few correspondents seem bent on mak ing sport of the situation. Then there are the inevitable theatrical proportions.

This Impressed Abbate maggio, who exclaimed: "Wouldn't It be funny if, after being shut In a cage like a bird, I were to go to America and be come a lion."

PEKING SUSPECTS DEEP DESIGN Legation Thinks Celestial Diplomats Are Outgeneraled. AMBIGUITY FAVORITE WEAPON N Sympathy with lie of Deceptive Pbrueeloxr When I. one of I'ror Jaee la Threatened Mistake Made at Klrst. ST. PETERSBl'RO, Marvh 2S.-The Rus sian foreign office has telegraphed the Russian minister at Peking that ChlnH's reply to Russia's ultimatum is Manufac tory and expressing the emperor's grati fication at the happy termination of the negotiations. PEKINO. March 28. It is suspected In the legation quarter that a deep design is afoot, thinly concealed by the Kunso Chinese exchanges. There is an, inabllty to reconcile the contrary attitudes of St. Petersburg an dthe Russian legation here. AV'hlle the former has been proclaiming the necessity of military action against China the latter has declared that the troops will not be moved. It la believed the legation's attitude may be Intended' to encourage the Chinese, who are always ready to take part in a con test of cunning. Yesterday's reply of the Chinese foreign board to the Russian ulti matum, read superficially, gives the Im pression that China complies fully with the demands made, but carefully studied. It goes a little beyond this and Is replete with repetitions that China already has complied In previous replies. Accordingly, though the legation quarter mistrusts Russia's intentions, there Is lit tle sympathy with the Chinese who evince delight In deceptive phraseology at a mo mem wnen me loss or a province may be threatened. The members of the other legations gen erally think that China should have ac cepted unequivocally the Russian demands In Its original reply to the Russian note of February l and so left Russia before th eWorld without an excuse for aggres- I sion.
