COMMENT UPON
TIBET AFFAIR
Russia Sees No Cause For
Alarm in the Situation.
CURzON DOES NOT COUNT
KING EDWARD NOW AT THE
HELM IN ENGLAND.

CT. PETERSBURG, April 3.-The
- newspapers continue TO discuss
the British expedition in Tibet
and the speech of the viceroy of India,
Lord Curzon Of Kedleston, March 80.
at Calcutta Cwhen he reviewed the
last five years of Indian administers
ton and referred to the governments
watchful policy, but most of them in
a singularly dispassionate tone.
The BOurse Gazette openly suggests
that King Edward is planning an
entente between Great Britain and
Russia, and then says:
There is no need for alarm. We
have been accustomed since the days
OF Disraeh and Salisbury 10 such
yelled threats referring to Lord
Curzon's speech). Indian Secretary
Brodrick's announcement Of big guns
for Inoia have broken no bones. nor
is any one frightened by the forth
coming British naval demonstration
IN the Medierrs mean. The fact is that
the British foreign policy is now in
higher hands than Lord CurZon's and
we all know that a sincere. peaceful
and loyal influence is being exerted by
King Edward There is no longer
doubt Of British neutrality. and there
is no reason for apprehension regard
ing the promise of a friendly agree
ment with Russia concerning Tibet
We are only curious to see how Great
Britain will explain armed aggression
with Chinese province"
The Russ says that Great Britain
took leaf out of Japan's book on the
way to open hOstilities by attacking
the Tioetans without a declaration OF
war.
The Novoe Vremya SAYS:
Two American millionaires have
changed the destinies of India. Since
Lord Curzon became Lord Kitcheners
brother-in-law their personalities seem
to have been merged. Curzon spoke
with the words of Kitchener on the
giacis theory and Kitchener adopted
the policy of Curzon in sending an
alleged diplomatic mission into Tibet,
The glacis theory is all right so long
as it has TO do with unarmed foes"
The mistake Of the Novoe vremya
in speaking of Lord Curzon and Lord
Kitchener as brothers-in-Iaw probably
emanates from rumor in circulation
some time ago that Lord Kitchener
was to marry Miss Daisy Letter, a
sister of Lady CurZon.
The glacis theory to which the
Novoe Vremya refers was contained
in Lord CurZon's Calcutta speech, IN
which he said that India resembled a
fortress beyond whose walls there eX-
listed on enc side a glacis of varying
breadth and dimensions. which they
did not desire to occupy, but which
they could not afford to see occupied

YINKoW PROBABLY SAFE.
Japanese Not Expected to lombard
That Place.

st. Petersburg, April 5.-A corespon-
dent at Yinkow says the opinion pre-
walls there that the japanese will not
lombard that place. because 50 per
cent of the population is made up OF
Chinese, who are not at war with
Japan, and because n shell from the
japanese ships would be sure to strike
the residence of the United States con-
sui. who is safeguarding Japanese in
terests.
The same correspondent humorously
describes the speculation among the
British correspondents there as to
whether the victorious japanese after
defeating the Russian army viii stop
in China or go to Irkutsk.
