TELEGRAMS

(Reuters.).

Russia and Japan.

LONDON, 27th January. Advices from Tokio, 27th instant, state that the Government has intimated to the Russian Minister that an early response is desired to the last note. It seems likely that Japan will act decisively in a few days though many have hitherto objected to Japan taking the intiative, the majority would now welcome an ultimatum or, if necessary,

declaration of war.

Reuter's agency at Peking wires that China has invited the support of the Powers to attempt to mediate between Russia and Japan. The Zimes' correspondent at Peking confirms this. France is willing to use her good offices to endeavour to arrange a modus An emergency lanerial Ordinance sanction- vivendi with the assistance of England anding the Coast Defence Law. published to-day in the Official Guzatła, prohibits navigation by America. In reply to Prince Ching's com munication, the British and American Minis private vessels, or fishing, or other marine operations, detrimental 10 Japan's naval tems, acting in agreement, have explained the arrangements, within specified lintits, difficulties of mediating at the present june- ture. Prince Ching admits that the sugges tion to invite the mediation of the Powers emanated from the Russian Minister, the object of the move evidently being to im press the Chinese in favour of Russia.

Russian Note to Korea.

Seoul, 16th January,

The Russian Minister in Senat addressed un official note to the Government on the ath inst with regard to a dispute between the Chinese and the Coreans on the Chinese frontier. The note was in very strong terms and there was nothing in it in indicate that Russia recognises the authority of China over Manchuris. The Corean Emperor is resorted to be of opinion that France is not the nition on which he can most rely in case of any troubl. The landing of the French matines is considered very significant.
