FAR EASTERN AFFAIRS.

RUSSIA'S MILITARY ACTIVITY.

LONDON, 2nd March, 4.5 p.m. The Times Paris correspondent, discussing the persistent rumours of impending trouble in China, says the peace of Europe is as much imperilled by affairs in the Far East us by affaire in the Balkan Peninsula.

The New York Herald considers that Russia's undoubted military activity is due

to the aspect of affairs in the Fur East rather than to the trouble in the Balkans.
