DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS ARE BROKEN IN The Russian Minister Expected to Depart from Tokio in a Few Days Petersburg the situation is being discussed tonight with great seriousness. The weather is bitterly cold and street fires arc burning and the people are asking if it la possible for hostilities to begia at a season when ihe ihermo-metrregister 4b degrees below rro in Northern Manchuria.

Life and Property. cept the clauses which Japaa consider essential, war ia Inevitable." The Figaro correspondent concludes that the Matin's interview represents the Baron's personal view, adding that a short conversation with ths Baron goes to show that he regards ths situation as very critic!. Baron lJsyaahi during the Interview expressed the opinion that the optimism of the French press is due to tbe fact that ths Far Eastern question is less understood In Faria than in London, nnd he dwells on the essential point of Japan's note demanding the mutual recognition by Japan and Russia of the territorial integrity and independence of China and Korea, which amounts to a formal recognition o! Chinese sovereignty over Manchuria. The Matin's Cherbourg correspondent announces that the maritime prefect there haa issued a circular reminding officers that the Mlnlater of Marine alone can authorise foreigners to enter the arsenal. This circular la believed to be doe to the fact that one English and one Japanese officer wearing civilian clothea were taken into toe arsenal by a French soldier. Thera Is reason to believe, says the correspondent, that n French officer attached tc a submarine boat and a British naval officer has been arrested in connection with the affair. According to the London correspondent of the Matin, persons bast qualified to apeak authoritatively regardirg Japanese matters regard that Japanaae final decision has been taken, nnd that Russia's answer, whatever may be Its tenor, will not make any difference. War, these persona say, la inevitable, for Japan henceforth will do as iha what chooses, without considering Russia may think of her actions. The Figaro this morning says It has reasons to believe that Foreign Minister Lamsdortf dispatch contained only tbe essential points of the Rtualan note to Japan, the full text of which will follow the dispatch In n few days. It further expresses the belief that the note will not constitute thn Russian government's last word, but will leave room tar further negotiations. r Tokio, Feb. 7. It is clear that diplomatic relations between japan and Risftia have been broken. Baron Ie Rosen, tho Russian minister, is expected to depart in P few days.

Official opinion haa clearly turned .toward the pessimistic, although nnt yet reedy to concede that the last chance has gone.
