MANCHURIA SITUATION.
GRAVEST POSSIBILITIES. INTERESTS OF RUSSIA. SIGNIFICANT MOBILISATION. By Telegraph—Fres3 Association—Copyright. SHANGHAI, April 7. The situation in Manchuria is rapidly becoming worse, and is fraught with the gravest possibilities. It is believed that eventually it may be necessary for Russia to take measures to protect her interests along the Chinese Eastern Railway, from which she has already withdrawn the majority of her rolling stock. The massing of a large Russian force along the Manchurian border, together with the mobilisation of forces in the Baikal area, is regarded as highly significant. A report from Tokio states that the Japanese Government is contemplating emigrating 500.000 families to Manchuria and Mongolia in the next ten years, involving over 1.000.000 people. Practically no progress has been made at the local peace conference, which has virtually reached a stage of deadlock in regard to the recent fighting at Shanghai.
