It is believed that it is not difficult to Bottle the first question, if the question of recognizing the Russian Government is settled satisfactorily. Following the pre cedents of the Russo-German and other Trenties, the Russian representative de- mands the exchange of diplomatic officials between the two countries, before the re cognition is made.
