Angle-Japanese Treaty.

Russia Climbing Sown.

(Received Oct, 4, 10.22 p.m.) St. PETERSBURG, Oct. 4.

The Novoe Vrcmya, in an apparently inspired article, suggests that all the Powers interested in the Far East should subscribe to the provisions of the Anglo-Japanese treaty, respecting the maintenance of the status quo in China, while Central Asia should become the subject of a mutual guarautce between Britain and Russia. The Novoc recognises that there is no chance of concluding an effective anti-British coalition, since for ten years no other Power dare move in the Far East without the British and Japanese permission, LUKEWARM FEELING INDIA. (Rccch'cd Oct. 4, 9.45 p.m.) BOMBAY, Oct, 4. The Indian public and press received the Anglo-Japanese alliance quietly and' favouralbly, though the army, resent the implication that it is unable to defend India alone. The native opinion is curiously lukewarm. Many native journals deplore the fact that the agreement brings no reduction in military expenditure, and express wonder why Britain will not rely more exclusively on the people of India for its defence.
