It is the 0;inion That No Steps Will Be Taken Paris, June 3. The report that M. Bompard, the French ambassador to Russia, who has been here on leave of absence is hastening back to St. Petersburg, as France lias agreed to ask the consent of the powers to bring about peace between Russia and Japan is said by officials here to be Incorrect. M. Bompard, it appears, is not returning to St. Petersburg. He attended the reception given by Pres dent Loubet last night in honor of King. Alfonso, where Mr. McComack, the American ambassador had a long talk with the French ambassador. M. Bompard intends to remain .here a week or ten days, which would seem to confirm the reports that the peace situation had not reached a decisive state. There is reason to believe that he share the views of the other diplo mats, having personal acquaintance with the Russian officials that the peace outlook Is not bright. ; The trend of opinion in this well informed quarter is that Russia will put off decisive action until after the next land battle?
