Port Arthur, 22nd October. AN INTERVIEW WITH THE VICEROY.

On Monday lost I and an interview with Admiral Alexief. The Viceroy is not, insecessible, but he is extremely busy, so that it is no sy rustter to see him; and I was very muck pleased in consequence où being informed. last Saturday that L conld call on him at 8.30 on Monday morning. The Admiral's house is in Old Town, und stands on a gentle ominonce abore the little Park (ar Bontoverd as they call il), commanding a good view of Golden Hill, from which it is separated by the smaller of the two basing composing the harbour. It is a two-storied edifice, new, built of stone, with

Lasked him if he had not received many potitions from the Chinese inbabitants of various districts in Manchuria begging that the Russian troops be not withdrawn, and pointing out that such a withdrawal would expose the petitioners to the wrath of the bandite. Ho confessed that smeh was the cake; "And I he had received many such petitions. should have received many more," he said, "it it wore not for the mandarios-the mandarins in Manchuria itself.

Only that the second-sto y verandah in shut in by glass and the lower story one is not so open us in Ludin. For a man whose position so nearly rewables that of the Tear, the Viceroy is not strongly guarded. At the gate there are two soldiers who seem to let anyone in unless, as the notices in some public buildings in Japau hose put it, they are drunk or insane. soldiers are accommodated with white sontry. boxes traversed diagonally by a large number of broad black bands. At the door there is no gaard, but in the entrance-bali a few unarmed soldiers in the usual top-boots and loose white blanses fastened at the waist by a leather belt assist visitors to struggle out of their grest coats and inte them again, and relieve them of their bats and sticks.

His answer was short, but full of meaning, We'll arrange that matter with the Chines ho said. This phrase sottied it. This apparent forgetfulness of the fact that Japan is moving heaven and earth to make Etussin settle the matter with her, this impliestion that no out- sider has any right to interfere, and that if he did interfere he would gain nothing by it-- this, I say, was enough." It was nusscessary now to ask how the negotiations with Japan were getting on (pecially as I felt sure that I would not get an answer to that question), er if there was any probability of a war between Russia and Japan. My interview with Admiral Alexief convinced me that the Russians will remain in Mancharin,
