Is No Surprise.
The relieving from command OIL VICE
roy Alexeff would not surprise intelli-
gent observers of the far eastern stu
alton. who are familiar with the grad
ual change in The emperor's attitude
toward the viceroy and MI. Bezopfa-
rolf, who represented the militant. or
advanced element which was anxious
that Russia should remain In Manchu-
/ ria
, ii is TO these TWO mer that the Anglo
Japanese entente first lost its terrors;
They believed that Great Britain wouid
not go TO war a1d that Japan could hot
do so. To the indignation OF Japan,
they succeeded in turning the poilcy OF
the empire from carrying out ,ne
entlre eNacuatioli on Mancnufla' Islu-
ing further demands ON emma.

AZ FIRST the vicarov rece;ved tho of3-
cial dispatches from Makaroff and
Kuropatkin. but even this last shred
-af his dignity was removed when the
two commanders communicated direct
ly with the emperor.
On August ~ last, after Japan had
submitted an inquiry as to whether
Russia was disposed to reopen the ne
gotiations respecting Manchuria and
Korea. a viceroyalty i'm the far east, a
special secretary of state and an ad-
visory committee were created Alexieff
being appointed viceroy and Bezobra-
zoff secretary of state.
Met Much Opposition.
