King Edward has sent forth protestations of friendship to Russia and has complimented Franco on her staud regarding the neutrality ot China but each day the feeling against Rus sia is becomiug mere bitter and the lion Is commencing to grumble. News received from St Petersburg from Eng lish correspondents ia that English mer chants are practically shut out of Rus sian marts. An intense dislike is shown for everything England and scant cour tesy Is shown subjects of Great Britain, England realises that in the event of Russian success she must take a back seat in the Orient, so far as Korea and Manchuria are concerned, or else fight for her rights. The Russian official at titude is oahn and apparently friendly but beneath it all is a hatred for King Kd ward's subjects. Many orifers for Eirglish goods are cancelled at Russian points and houses in London doing business In Russia says their respresontatives In Ruseia are not given a hearing longer - by the cr.ar's bu . ers.
