THE WAR.

Russian Reinforcements for the far East. Received August 80, 9.29 a.m. St. Petersburg, August 29. The Czar on the 19th ordered the mobilisation of reinforcements for the Far East at Riga, Windau, Vilna, Grodno, Livonia, Perin, Astiakan, Limbirsk and other centres. Russia remains obdurate, and Japan seems impressed that her enemy will not yield except to the force of arms. The Peace Conference may be said to have failed, and the Romanoffs as a consequenco will probably share the fate of the Bourbons : the world iJ#3d be the gainer. A Russian envoy who talked outside said in eflfect that Britain was exerting pressure lflfc Japan to bring down new propEals en Monday, but this 13 denied: by the Times with some heat. To-day it is the peasants of the Caucasus who are giving trouble in Russia — an agrarian not that with famine impending may easily spread. There is quiet at the front in Manchuria, the quiet that precedes the storm.— Post.
