Tk 3 T between .Russia auu uu iuc basis of minor concessions by Russia in Corea and Manchuria, though officials don't profess to expect that the evacuation of Manchuria will be effected on the exact date named. Baron vonv Rosen, the Russia minister to Japan, has returned here from a conference with Viceroy AlexiefF at Port Arthur, and there has been a short conference with Baron Komura, the Japanese foreign minister, on October 3. Baron Komura has since given out a hopeful interview, but the Japanese ministers far war and navy thereafter had long conferences with the emperc.% Mar qois Ito, president of the privy council, and Viscount K-iizu, the premier, indicating that preparations are going on to meet any eventuality. The popular feeling in Japan is exasperated at Russia's dilatory tactics, and the excitement has been aggravated by the sensational press, which is constantly circulating ru/ mors of fresh Russian aggressions. In spite of population irritation, it is believed that the Japanese officials will b8 able to control the jingo element and maintain the present peaceful defensive attitude unless some new and unforeseen event precipitates fresh issues.
