churian Forces.
EuROPGTEIH TO COMMAND BOTH ARMIES
Alexieff e Coatinue - vlceroy. But WIN
Not Interfere with the Commanding
Generals Plans In Any way-stories
OF Friction Are Entirely without
Foundation.

St Petersburg, Sept. 19.--Acting upon
the advice Of his military advisers.
Emperor Nicholas has decided to form
q second Manchurian army. 1t will be
formed OF the corps which are being
sent to the far east and Lieut.. Gen.
Linevitch probably will be given the
command of the second army. Gen.
Kuropatkin viii become chief of both
armies but probably without the title
Of commander In chief. II is this i'm
pending reorganization which seems
TO have led to the countless rumors
and reports afioat here Of kuropat-
hn's supersesslon of Vieeroy Alexieff
as commander in chief OF the army,
the latter's resignation. etc.. but the
Associated press investigations indi-
cate that the above Is the real situa-
ton. The Associated press is informed
that Alexieff will continue to be viceroy
and that rs such he could not be sub
ordinated in title to the COM
handing general. which would happen
II Kuropathin was given the title OF
commander in chief. Nevertheless, the
Associated press is informed, Kuropat-
kin will virtually be in complete, I'M
trammelled command.
AS has been heretofore stated on
high authority the stories of Alexieff's
interference with Kuropatkin are en-
tirely without foundation. On the con-
trary Alexieif 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 Ouktomsky has
been court-martialed. II Is positively
stated that he has never been under
arrest at Port Arthur and that there
has never been a question of his trial
by court-martial He has simply been
superseded by Rear Admiral Wren in
the temporary command Of the Port
Arthur squadron which Ouktomsky
took over when the late Rear Admiral
Withof fell. This does not necessarily
mean that the admiralty is satisfied
with Rear Admiral Ouktomsky. On
the contrary, his short comings are
recognized, and leading to the deci-
sion to place Rear Admiral Wren in
command.

General Gordon and the Pop-guns

From the Era Magazine.
One OF the funniest stories | ever
heard was an anecdote OF the late
General John B. Gordon. Before the
breaking out OF the war between the
North and South, General Gordon,
who was bitter rebel, made speech
es all over the South, melting the peo-
pie to rebellion. IN his ardor he made
frequent use OF the expression that
they "could whip the Yankees with
popguns. In the conflict that follow
ed General Gordon was one OF the
most valiant Confederate fighters.
His chivalrous record as a soldier Is
one OF the brightest pages in war his
tory. When the war ended and the
South was vanquished, he returned
to his native town of Athens, Ga,
and revived his practice as lawyer.
A lew years later, when a fierce cam
paign was on in the state, he consent
Q ! to speak at q number OF places,
but his pro-,lavery views were mod.
flied: he advanced new Ideas and
spoke of the building up OF a new
south under conditions. One night,
In Macon, Ga, when he had finished
a brilliant Grafton on these lines, an
old fellow down In the middle OF the
audience rose and addressing the
general, said:
"Look heah sch! Didn't you make
speech in this yer county, way back
yonder in '61?"
The general medits ted: 81 believe
l did, sir!
"Well, didn't you tell us we could
whip them thar Yankees with pop
guns?"
The general stood with military
erectness, and, buttoning his long
coat replied:
81 think / did, sir. But, damn 'em
they wouldn't fight US that way"
