°ass°, protested egainst the crtticiain of
ther Franco-Russum allience in the re-
porla oU the •Coininittee on the Foreign
Budget, which contains a number of
. allusions unfavorable to Russia. Re -
'faring to 'these, M. Deleasse said:
".`Never lute the alliance been more ne-
ceakry and beneficial. Never has there
arisen a better occasion for proclaim-
ing France's unavastering fidelity to the
alliance, Which has to powerfully safe-
guarded the, mutlial interests of the two
eountries."
This is significant of the firm attitude
of the Government against the Social-
ist opposition' to Russia.
The committee's reportcontains the
following 'specific etatenient in connec-
tion with the Russo-Japanese war:
"Already Japan : lute inade known the
conditions on which she is ready to close
hostilities. These consist in the return
of Manehuria te China, the dismantling
of .Port Aaiun: and the establishment
of Coteau independence with the right
of Itipenese to minim, land. • Russia's
refusal of the 'foreging conditions shows
it is. her ,purpose to retry on the con -
filet to the end."
'Witco a correspoodant enquired at the

forthcaitaternent, it was explained that
the conditions were not officially made
known by the Japanese Government, but
by the Japenese Ceinmercial Association,

ing physician, and possessed of lustrous
black eyes, and magnificent presence,
