ANGLO=RUSSIAN TREATY.

GERMAN ATTITUDE. A BERLIN PRESS LAMENT. LOGICAL SEQUEL. By Tolcgraph.—Press Association. (Received September 27, 10.30 p.m.) London) September 27. , The " Times" forecast that tho Russian press opinion of the AngloRussinn agreement would bo favourable is confirmed. Tho St. Petersburg Bourse Gazette remarks that a Convention dealing with European quostions should be a logical sequel to ■ the Convention dealing with Asiatic affairs. Berlin, September 27. In official circles in Berlin tho attitude of the German Government is described as being in friendly agreement with tho treaty. It is considered that Germany's commercial interests in the Persian Gulf are not affected, in view of Great Britain's maintenance of the open door policy. The "Doutche Tageszeitung " declares that tho last stone has been laid in the building of the British coalition policy. From the standpoint of Germany's Imperial interests, Germany has no reason to feel satisfied when two other Powers arrange differences which,' in given circumstances, might be more useful to Germany. PERSIAN GULF. STILL COVETED BY THE TSAR. London, Septembor 27. .The " Daily News," commenting on tho Anglo-Russian Agreement, says:—'' Sir Edward Grey's despatch does not convince us that Russia had abandoned her old aspiration for u warm-water port. If so, the agreement, even in regard to Persia, is incomplete; where it is not incomplete it is not new."

The " Tribuno" says that the agreement was communicated to the Gorman Foreign Office, which acquiesced. ■','■■
