ANGLO-RUSSIAN DISPUTE UNCHANGED London .Thinks Too - ftEuofc ' Made of Incident. A MORE HOPEFUL r VIEW Officially Stated That Great Britain Has No Intention of Resortlngjto Hostilities Whatever $h Outcome of Negotiations. - , Tien Tsin, March 18. The Anglo Russian dispute is unchanged. The French troops are Quieter. Oyer 40 ar. rests have been made. .-' .. LojfDON, March 18. There is a dispo sition here to think too much has been made of the Anglo-Russian' incident at Tien Tsin and a much more hopeful Tie w of the affair is taken today. This is aided by the statement in Morrison's dispatch from Peking yesterday to ha London Times which is taken to mean that the combined efforts of the allied powers are having the effect of causing St Petersburg to check any tendency to any undue aggressiveness on the part of the Russian.-representatives in. China. The comments of the afternoon news papers has repeated the news of the majority of the morning papers, namely, that diplomacy will be able to smooth the friction. The officials of the British foreign office have not yet received offi cial confirmation of Russia's alleged backdown in regard to Manohuria Tues day, and Mongolian inquiries on the subject are now being made at St. Petersburg. The British foreign office is not relaxing its efforts to secure more satisfactory statement of the In tentions of Russia, but: the ' officials deprecate the action of the British press. It is officially said that Great Britain has not the slightest contempla tion of resorting to hostilities against Russia, whatever .may be the outcome of the present negotiations. ' - MR.
