According to the latest advices from London, It Is believed there that the relations between Russia and Japan have reached a crisis, and that war Is Inevitable. It would certainly look as though both powers were making preparations for war. Russian warships and a transport with troops have left Port Arthur for Korea, and the Russian forces at New Chwang have been Increased. The Japanese premier and the ministers of war, navy and foreign affairs had a simultaneous audience with the emperor Monday, and It is claimed the Japanese are becoming anxious for a try at Russia. Other special dispatches describe Russian war preparations, etc., and the newspapers, which are Intensely Interested In the developments, owing e to the alliance, are, already publishing maps and estimates of the navy and military forces of the prospective belligerents and editorializing on the possibilities of the situation. The greatest attention Is paid to the changed tone of Baron Hayashl, the Japanese minister in London, who is much less confident that peace will be preserved than he was a week ago. Inquiries In Japanese banking, shipping and commercial houses In London, however, elicited expressions of disbelief In the outbreak of war. The threat of war between Russia and Japan is a source of great anxiety at Washington, because such an event might at any moment threaten the Interests of the United States. There is more anxiety over Russias attitude than that of Japan, because Russia has not kept her word in regard to Manchuria. Anglo-Japanes- t of the city of Huntsville will take the oath of office Friday, and the occasion will be celebrated by a banquet and a general good time. ANOTHER EUROPEAN INVASION.
