GREAT BRITAIN HAS IF.

St Petersburg, Sept 19.--The Rus sian press, discussing the Thibetan treaty with Great Britain. unites in agreeing that the latter country has succeeded in establishing q virtual protectorate over Thibet.
 The Svet terms the treaty a repet1- ton of the fable of the wolf and the lamb and expresses the belief that the success of the British expedition will shake Russian prestige among the Buddhist subjects of Russia.
 The Bourse Gazette thinks Great Britain has succeeded beyond her widest dreams. but conceals yelled threat under the inquiry whether the success can be lasting. As soon as Russia's hands are free, the Gazette predicts that 1t is more than likely that the middle east question Will become another apple of discord.
 The Novosti, on the other hand, con tends that British and Russian inter ests in Asia are identical and. opposes the idea that the treaty will become bone of contention, especially as 1t was concluded with the knowledge and consent of Russia.

St Petersburg, Sept 10 a:57 D. m.)- Acting upon the advice of his military advisers, Emperor Nicholas has de- cided to form second Manchurian army. It will be formed of the corps which are being sent to the far east and Lieutenant General Linevitch probably will be given the command of the second army General Kuropat- kin will become chief of both armies, but probably without the title of com mander -in-chief. It is tiiis impending reorganization which seems to have led to the countless rumors and re ports afioat here of Kuropatkilrs SUI procession of Viceroy Alexien as com mander-in-chief of the army, the lat ters resignation, etc, but the ASsoc1. ated Press Investigations indicate that the above is the real situation. The Associated Press is informed that Alexieff will continue to be viceroy and that as such he could not be gubordinated in title to the command- ing general, which would happen If Kuropatkin was given the title of com maner-in-chief Nevertheless the As- sociated Press is informed Kuropatkin will virtually be in complete, untram- melled command As having hereto- fore stated on high authority. the stories of Alexieff's interference with Kuropatkin are entirely without founs dation On the contrary, Alexieff has always shown the utmost appreciation of the peculiar delicacy of his position as Kuropatkin's superior, studiously avoiding even the semblance of inter- terence with the operations of the ManchIirian army.
 The Associated Press is authorized again to deny absolutely the story that Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky has been court martlaled. 1t is positively stated that he has never been under arrest at Port Arthur and that there has never been a question of his trial aby court martial. He has simply been superseded by Rear Admiral Wiren i'll the temporary command of the Port Arthur squadron, which Ouktomsky took over when the late Rear Admiral Withoft fell This does not necessarily mean that the admiralty is satlsned with Rear Admiral OulStomsky. On the contrary his shortcomings are recognized leaSssng to the decision to place Rear Admiral Wren in com naand.
 The latest dispatches received by the war office here leave the sitlla tlon at the front practically aiilchRn Sed. There is no truth In the cable to the Express of London from Tokio that a battle is progressing at Mukden. There is nothing yet to show that Field Mar shal Oyama has begun to move in force. The reported fighting between the Japanese and. Major General Mist schenko's Cossacks probably refers to the sharp skirmish southeast of Muk- den.. news of which has already been cabied tos the Associated Press.
