Received Tpesdav 5.5 p.m. LONDON, March 15. Great interest centras in the auctioning at Christie's on Wednesday of a portion of the- Russian State jewels, which experts think will possibly realise a quarter of a million sterling. Yesterday was view day and a stream of sightseers visited the auction rooms.

The room presented a fairy palace resplendent with a nuptial crown of brilliant gems, pearl tiaras •necklaces andl the rarest gems.
