A London despatch says :â€"â€"The Times correspondent at Tokio on Saturday evening says that the sitâ€" nation appears to have improved slightly, but, the indications are not conclusive. In an earlier despatch the correspondent said that an exâ€" change of views was proceeding be- tween the foreign office and the Rus- sian Legation, but the hopes of a. satisfactory settlement are slender, inasmuch as Russia is understood to insist on seeking to exclude Japan from a. Voice in Manchurian affairs. All the important journals urge im- mediate action by Japan on the ground that Russia’s course is evaâ€" sive, and designed with the object of gaining time. The stock market has recovered its tone somewhat and everything indicates that the nation has quietly resolved to support the Government in a strong policy, but will not brook useless procrastina- tion.
