INTERESTS IN THE FAR EAST.
THE RUSSO-JAPANESE TUG-OF-WAE. [press association.] MELBOURNE, 4th January. Dr. George Morrison, the Pekin correspondent of The Times, who is visiting this colony, said in an interview with reference to the cablegram announcing completion of the Russian Siberian Railway, that it will yet necessitate some years' work, for many miles of the permanent way are untouched. He does not consider that Russian activity in the East is a menace to British interests, though Japan views the growing strength of Russia with alarm. There is no question of the relative strength of the two Powers, says Dr. Morrison. Japan is infinitely stronger in the East than Russia. The former is making such rapid strides that her strength is increasing by leaps and bounds.
