st. Petersburg, Sept. 19.-The Rus.

agreeing that the latter country has
succeeded in establishing virtual pro.
tectorate over Thibet.

the idea that the treaty will become
a bone of contention, especially as it
was concluded with the knowledge
and consent Of Russia.

SECOND MANCHURIAN

Force to Far East.
ADVICE MILITARY ADVISORS
General kuropatkin Will Become Chief
of Both Armies, but Probably With.

Eastern War News.

Eastern War News.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 19.-1:57 am.
Acting on the advice of his military
advisors, Emperor Nicholas has de-
cided to form second Manchurian
army. 1t win be formed of the corps
whic his being sent to the Far East
and Lieutenant General Linevitch
probably will be given the command
of the second army. General Kuro-
patkin will become chief of both
armies, but probably without the tt.
tie Of commander-in-chief.
It is this impending organization
which seems to have led to the count
less rumors and reports af1oat here
of Kuropatkin's supercession of Vice
roy Alexieff, commander-fn-chief of the
army, the latter's resignation, etc,
but the Associated Press investiga-
tions indicate that the move is the
real situation. The Associated Press
Is Informed that Alexieff will continue
to be vicer8y and that as such he
could not be subordinated in the title
to the commanding general, which
would happen if Kuropatkin was Civ.
en- the title of commander-in-cTlief
Nevertheless, the Associated Press is
Informed that Kuropatink win virtual
ly be complete, untrammelled com
mander.
AS has been heretofore stated on
high authority, the stories of Alex
ieffs interference with Kuropatkin are
entirely without foundation. On the
contrary Alexieff has always shown the
utmost appreciation of the peculiar del.
icacy of his position as Kuropatkin's
superior studiously avoiding even the
semblance of interference with the op-
erations of the Manchurian army. The
Associated Press is authorized again
to deny absolutely the story that Rear
Admiral Prince Onktomsky has been
courtmartialey. 1t is positively stated
that he has never been under arrest
at Port Arthur, and that there has
never been question Of his trial by
courtmartilaed. 1t is positively stated
perseded by Rear Admiral Wren, in
the temporary command of the Port
Arthur squadron, which Ouktomsky
took over with the late Rear Admiral
Withoff. This does not necessarily
mean that the admiralty is satisfied
with Rear Admiral Ouktomsky. On
the contrary, his shortcomings are
recognized, leading to the decision to
replace Rear Admiral Wiren in COM
mand. The latest dispatches receiv-
ed by the war office here leave the
situation at the front practically un-
changed. There Is no truth in the
report cab.ed to the Express, of Lon
don, from Toxic that q battle ts pro-
crossing at Mukden. There Is nothing
yet to show that Field Marshal Oyama
has begun to move in force The re-
ported fighting between the Japanese
and Major General Sistchensko's Cos
saks probably refers to the sharp skir-
mish southeast Of Mukden, news of
which has already been cabled to the
Associated Press.

STRANGE AFFAIR.
Mystery Surrounds stabbing of Dick

Atlanta, Sept ia strange mys.

morning of two brothers named Dick

j. P. Dickerson was stabbed in the
left side. His brother, Oscar Dick

Both d1sclaimed all knowledge of their
assailants and knew, SO they said, that
his brother had been stabbed
Grady hospital physicians were sum
moned to dress the wounds of both
men and these surgeons assert the
case is one OF the strangest that ever
came to the attention of the hospital
physicians
Early Sunday morning the first men.
toned of the brothers went to the hos
pital He said that he had been
stabbed by whom, he did not know.
The hospital surgeons made an exam
ination ana discovered that he had
sustained a severe injury, evidently
by means of a knife. The wound was
in the left side.
When asked who it was that cut
him, DickeTson replied that he did not
know.
Before the wound had been dressed a
call for the ambulance came over the
telephone. The call came from 53
Gartrell street, the number given by
Dickerson as that of his own residence.
The ambulance made quick run to
this house and found Oscar Dicker-
son, brother Of the man at the hospit-
al, with an ugly cash in his right side.
The weapon with which this had been
inflicted had penetrated almost to the
lung and the wound was serious. But
Dickerson refused to go to the hospit-
al for treatment and, as his brother
had done, professed ignorance of his
assailant's identity.
TIe was informed that his brother
was already at the hospital, suffering
also from a cut in the side. He ex-
pressed surprise, and wheL asked if
he did nct know his brother had been
stabbed, said he knew nothing at all
of it.
His wounds were dressed and the
ambulance returned to the hospital
The first Dickerson brother had not
yet departed. He, in turn, was asked
If he knew his brother had been stab
bed and he gave similar answer-he
knew nothing whatever about it, he
said.
J. P. Dickerson left the hospital as
soon as his wound was dressed, while
Oscar Dickerson was not brought
there at all. The incident has left
the hospital staff and police in pro-
found wonder.
No arrests have been made.
