1t Is said that Vice Admiral Skryd-
lon In his interview let his majesty
understand that he does not care to
assume command of the fleet until
Alexieff has withdrawn. Therefore the
two men will not meet at Port Ar
thur.
Viceroy Alexieff is expected to come
directly to st. Petersburg, and his
friends hope that he will be elevated
to the council of the empire. By his
withdrawal from the Far Feast he will
not only lose the dignified position of
direct representative Jpf the emperor,
but the salary of $4,000 and an allow
ance of $4,000 per annum.
When Alexieff sewers his connection
with the Far Eastern question, none
of the men responsible for the policy
pursued before the war will be in
power, M. Bezobrazoff having already
lost the confidence of his majesty, and
the advisory committees duties at
present being purely perfunctory.

est enemies and sharpest critics, as
successor to the late Vice Admiral
Makaroff in command OF the Russian
navy in the Far East
Vice Admiral Skrydloff had an inter-
view with the emperor and discussed
with his majesty the question of his
(Skrydloff's) relations with Admiral
AleXieff.
The relieving from command OF
Vicerol Alcxieff would not surprise in
telligent observers of the Far Eastern
situation who are familiar with the
gradual change in the emperor's atti-
tude toward the viceroy and M. Bezo-
brazoff, who represented the militant,
or advanced, element which was anx-
ious that Russia Should remain in Man
churia. 1t was to these two men that
the Anglo-Japanese entente first lost
its.terrors. They believed that Great
Britain would not go to war and that
Japan could not do so. To the indig-
nation OF Japan, they succeeded in
turning the policy of the empire from
carrying out the treaty for the entire
evacuation OF Manchuria, pending
further demands on China. on August
II last, after Japan had submitted ar
inquiry as to whether Russia was dis
posed to reopen the negotiations re-
specting Manchuria and Korea, a vice
royalty in the Far East, a special Sec
rotary of state and an advisory COM
mittee were created. Alexieff being APP
