[SPECIAL TO MELBOURNE AGE.]
London, November 24,
The Rnssian Government are exhibiting a desire to remove the strained feeling which existed some time past between Russia and China, and to secure the friendship of the latter. It is announced that Rnssian officers at Vladivostok are ordered to do all in their power to cultivate amicable relations with China.
It is rumoured that Germany contemplates attempting to mediate between Russia and Bulgaria. The man Drew, arrested at Sydney in July last, on a charge of embezzling a large sum of money from a firm of solicitors at Norwich was sentenced to ten vears.
More than ordinary activity is displayed by the dynamiters in America, with the immediate result that Donovan Rossa is deposed, owing to the want of activity lately shown by him in the affairs of the organisation.
