temporary, the Asahi, says the Gover nment is now giving out that the situation is very critical, and by this is trying to rofute the accusation that it is weak, but no one, excepting the officials ocncornod, knows how the Government will end the negotiations. The intimation convoyed to Russia as the result of the latest con- ference in the presence of the Emperor, Hays the Asahi, cannot be accepted as of the uature of a true ultimatum in diplomatic affairs. It is believed this intimation con roys the final decision of Japan (the Kiku- min calls it 'the last of the last'), but it is unknown whether the Japanese Govern- ment intends to take action in Korea or Manchuria, or whether it is intended simply to break off the negotiations. So long as this question remains unsolved, it is impossible to say in what degree the

between the fleets providing the Japanese squadron keeps away from the Kwang- tung peninsula, as the Russians well know their own weakness on the water. From the action taken by the Japanese Govern- ment in the past, continues our Osaka con- temporary, it is hardly likely that Japan will take the offensive, and it is feared that what Japan gains in the end, after Mobilis- ing a large force of troops and expending an immense amount of money, may be even less than the recognition of Japanese pre- dominance in Coren in exchange for the recognition of the Russian sphere of interest in Manchuria. The nation, continues our contemporary, is urged to consider the situation with coolness, in order not to be entrapped by the Government into increas- ing the land-tax, and allowing its nominees to obtain a victory in the coming general elections. There is a great gap, concludes the Asahi between the views of the Govern- ment and those of the people on the pre- sent question, and the people mast careful-
