It seems to us that the Japance people have considerable cause for dissatisfaction that they are being kept in ignorance of matters which have such an important bearing upon the future welfare of the nation.
While exhibiting a conciliatory spirit, Japan had certainly by no means abited her prepara tions. Another important step was taken by the authorities late on Thursday night, the particulars of which, however, we are unable to make public in accordance with the instruc

The Tempe states that Count Lamsdorff' and Mr. Delcasse are much astonished that they have been credited with the intention to intervene.
The German Press expresses the hope that Russia will accent the-japanese demands. The Tsar, in a telegram replying to Viceroy Alexieff's congratulations, invoked God that he may send peace and welfare in the new year. This telegram has improved the con- fidence in Port Arthur that the conflict has been solved amicably.

THE RACE MEETING.
(the Kokumin calls it "the last of the last"), but it is unknown whether the Japanese Government intends to take action in Korea or Manchuria, or whether It is intended simply to break off the negotiations. So fung as this question remains unsolved, it is impossible to say in what degree the situation is critical. The Asahi points out that there are
closing the negotiations. One is to declare war two courses which may be taken by Japan after
immediately the negotiations are discontinued, and the other is to occupy Korea or Manchuria without declaring war. If Japan chooses the latter course, and sends troops into Korea, it is impossible to conclude that hostilities will necessarily break out, unless the Japanese cross the Yalu and come in conflict with the Russians. [We painted this out some weeks ago.].It is not likely that fighting will take place between the fleets, providing the Japanese squadron keeps away from the Kwantung peninsula, us the Russians well know their own weakness on the water. From the action taken by the
Osaka'contemporary, it is hardly likely that Japan will take the offensive, and it is feared that what Japan gains in the end, after mobilising a large force of troops and ex- amount of money, pending an immense may be even less than the recognition of Japa- nese predominance in Kurea in exchange for the recognition of the Russian sphere of interest in Manchuria. The nation, continues our con temporary, is urged to consider the situation with coolness, in order sot to be entrapped by the Government into increasing the land-tax, and allowing its nominees to obtain a victory in the coming general elections. There is a great gap, concludes the Asaks, between the views of the Government and those of the people on the present question, and the people must care- fully consider what the Government's aims are in the negotiations.

PRUDENCK AND MODERATION, The Kade Chronicle, of 16th inst, says: It
The late London report, according to which Russia is trying to btain the mediation of the other Powers with regard to her conflict with Japan has apparently been caused by the great activity of the Russian Ambassad rs al London and Paris during the last few days. It is, how- ever, slated from St. Petersburg, that such a is not to be denied that the action taken by mediation is not desired, but the Russian Japan in informally intimating to Russia that Government wishes to settle the Far East her lust Note was quite unacceptable goes to question at the present moment not only with | prove that Japan is quite ready even now to Japan, but at the same time with the other agree to some reasonable setriement of the lowers also, in order that no new difficulties difficulty. Contrary to the general expectation can arise later on.
