RUSSIAN ARMIES HEAD.
Grand Duke NichOIas'S Choice
Thought CertGin-His Staff.

ST Petersburg, Sept 27.-The designation OF
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, inspector
general Of cavalry as commander in chief is re-
sarded as practically settled. Some of General
Kuropatkin's friends stil cling to the nope that
he may be appointed, but this view is not sharea
in the best Informed circles. The situation at the
front with two, and perhaps ultimately three
bip armies is considered to demand above all
else that the supreme commander be OF such
personal authority as TO be beyond Jealousies
and the possibility of intrigue on the part or
subordinates, and such a man. the Emperor
now realizes can only be supplied by the i'm
perial family.
Grand Duke Nicholas is regarded as being ex-
trernely well fitted for this great responsibility.
He has youth ana iron constitution, but
above all. resolution and untiring energy. With
these qualifications, whatever he lacks IN MILL
tary experience and ability as a strategist can
be supplied by placing at his disposal the most
able military advisers Of the Russian army. The
suggestion that Kuropatkin may become chief
of star and thus the real commander OF the
armies Is generally rejected. Grand Duke
Nicholas WILL not rely on a single adviser out
on a staff comprising the ablest strategists OF
the general stan, who in reality will constitute
a board OF direction OF military operations
viceroy Alexieff is regarded as almost certain

Chancellor OF the Empire however is exploded.

WAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.
Russians On Good Position to Resist
Further japanese AdUance.
IFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.l


Washington. Sept 27.-The report from the
Far East that the main body Of the Russians is
az Tie Pass gains in importance in conjunction
with the other information that the force is
largely strengthened by troops from the Euro
pean garrisons II this be true, il means that
the Russians are in good position TO resist
further Japanese advance and TO prevent a flank
movement. OF which there are signs at Mouk-
Gen. The country where the Russians are said
20 have established themselves lends itself easily
20 strategic operations. and 1t should be no
difficult matter TO defend the newly fortified
places against the advance Of the enemy.
The experts are able TO learn so little of the
Japanese that they are Of the opinion that that
force is engaged on some impcrtant work and
The officers here would not be surprised to learn
that the sIkado's men have been effectively pre-
pairing for the resumption OF the campaign at
Moukden. There are those who regard it as pos
sible that the Russians will now assume the Of
fensive. but the experts who think that Russia
will be capable Of this do not feel certain that
the tine has yet arrived for any such reversal
OF conditions. 1t is quite evident say the ex-
perts that the Russians are not going TO aban-
don their present positions without something
OF struggle, although it is not expected that
the resistance will amount 10 a battle
The conditions, considered geographically
combine TO warrant Russian activity but an
some Of the experts remark II is a question Of
relative numerical force, which must still be
and IS likely 10 continue 10 be for some time
largely and effectively with the Japanese.
Much interest is taken in the announcement
from ST. Petersburg OF the prospect Of making
Kuropatkin chief Of staff and the real power
behind the nominal heads o. the armies in the
field. It is observed that the Car is inclined TO
rely. according 10 the reports from the Russian
capital, upon a staff Of advisers. instead OF one
man.

ANOTHER INTERVENTION RUMOR.

Rome, Sept 27.-Much interest is felt here in
the report that Premier Giolitu is TO meet Count
Won Bulow, the German Chancellor. at HON.
burg One OF the many reasons that might
prompt such meeting is the discussion of me-
diation in the interest Of peace in the Far East.
According TO the "Giornale dItalia," the ltal-
ian government in conjunction with Great Brit
ain would be willing TO approach Russia with
a proposition locking toward peace, but wishes
20 have assurances that in pursuing such
course she would have the support Of her asso-
ciates in the Triple Alliance. The support OF
France. according TO the paper mentioned, was
asked in the course of a recent exchange OF
views between Signor Luzatti. the Italian Min
sster Of the Treasury. and NJ. Rouvier. the
French Minister of Finance.
