NOTES AND COMMENTS:
We are still without any further news as to the reported war préparations la France, and, despite the various rumours of Impending war which have been cur- rent in the Colony for the last two or three days, we hear of no fall in stocks or panic on the bourses. The Reuter's telegram which we publish to-day appears to point to the settlement of the Foshoda ques- tion in a manner satisfactory to Great | Britain, for the utterance of Count Mura- VIETY, as given by Reuter, savours much of a hint to France that she need expect no This support from Russia In the matter. being the case we believe that If our Min- Isters will but stand firm there will be no difficulty experienced in arriving at a peaceful solution of the problem.
We do not consider it probable that France would attempt to run counter to the wishes of Russia, that is to say I-Count Muraviary's advice has been given as the representative of the Russian Government and not as an utterance in his pri- vate capacity. France and Russia have long been looked upon as allies and in all probability the advice given by the Count is intended as a hint to show France a, way out of the difficulty Into which she The Hongkong Nos. 21 23 15 & 31, Queen', has floundered. Besides it would not be politic for the Russlan Goverment to sup- port France at the present moment seeing that the Peace Proposals of the Cras have still to be considered. It would not look
