A statement is published In London this morning with an air of authority to tho effort that tho queHtkm of a neutral zona has a disapiieared from the negotiations. Although It is jtnpua-Bibl- e to confirm this statement, it agrees with other inspired statements that Russia has acquiesced to Japan's views regarding the integrity of Korea and that the only trouble now ro aialnlug relates to Manchuria. With reference to the ordinances daopted by tho Japanese privy council at the moetlng of January 20th, this statement explains that Russian have free access ail along, even to the Japanese ports of Nagasaki and Hakodate, for coaling and other purposes; Japan, thorefore, has taken precautionary measures looking to the possibly necessity of putting a stop to such visits. it is said that Jain's domestic bum will amount to $50.(100,000, and tbat her ordinary disbiirsomeuts already amount to $15,000,000. Mpecial dispatches from 8L Potera-bur- g to the Daily Toiugraph and tho Dally Mail assert that Russia's reply to tho latest JaiwncBo note was drawn up yesterday at a ministerial council at which the Czar presided. The tenor of this reply Is courteous, but 'firm, according to M. Witte, president of the council of ministers. Nothing has been given out officially concerning this reply, but It Is understood, according to messages from 8t. Petersburg, that Russia maintains that Manchuria must remain amenable, politically and strategetlcally to Russian induencc, tho concession made being only at a , , commercial character...
