TAGGART IN CHICAGO.
First Visit Since He Entered Upon His
Duties.

CHICAGO, September 19.-Thomas Tag
CART, chairman of the democratic national
committee. arrived in Chicago today. This
Is the first visit of the national chairman to
Chicago since he took his office as the
party's manager, and marks the beg: inning
of the democratic campaign in Illinois.
Democratic leaders from all parts of the
state are here to meet him, and a number
of local democrats greeted him at the rail-
way station.
Chairman Taggart spent the day in con-
ference with democratic leaders at the
Sherman House. In response to questions
he said:
''If the heartiness of democrats mani
tested since my arrival here is any indi-
cation of the political condition, l would
say that the democratic outlook Is excels
lent. l have just spent the three days
in Indiana and find democratic affairs in
that state in fine shape. 1 am -also able
to say that in New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut and West Virginia, and the east
generally, the prospect is such as to cheer
the democratic heart"
Replying to a question ae to the truthful
ness of the report that heshad been practi-
cally supplanted as chairman, Mr.. Taggart
uttered an emphatic denial saying that the
national party leaders are working in the
utmost harmony. He declined to make
an announcement as to campaign plans in
the west until his return to New York
Il will consult with the leaders here" he
said, "give careful attention to what they
say, and will arrive al conclusion by the
time l reach headquarters in New York. +"
1t Is learned, however that Mr.. Taggart's s
present inclinations are funfavorable to
branch headquarters az any point in the
west, his opinion being that the work
can be best done from New York through
state committees. Mr. Taggart leaves for
New York tonight.
The situation in New York is all that
we could want said Chairman Taggart.

BRITISH TREATY WITH TH1BEr.
Russian Newspapers Agree That It
Means q Protectorate

ST. PETERSBURG, September 19-The
Russian press, discussing the Thibetan
treaty with Great Britain, unite in agree
ing that the latter country has succeeded
in establishing virtual protectorate over
Thibet.
The Svet terms the treaty a repetition of
the fable of the wolf and the lamb, and ex-
presses the belief that the success of the
British expedition will shake Russian pres
tige among the Buddhist subjects of Rus
Sia.
The Bourse Gazette thinks that Great
Britain has succeeded beyond her widest
dreams, but conceals veiled threat under
the inquiry whether the success can be
lasting. The Gazette predicts that as soon
as Russia's hands are free it is more than
likely that the middle east question will
become another apple of dscord.
The Novosti, on the other hand, contends
that British and Russian interests in Asia
are identical, and opposes the idea that the
treaty will become bone of contention, es-
pecially as it was concluded with the knoWl-
edge and consent of Russia.

HIGHWAY BRIDGE APPROACHES
Purchase May Be Made From the Ap-
propriation.

The controller of the treasury has had be-
fore him the question whether any of the
laws for the construction of the highway
bridge across the Potomac authorized the
expenditure of any of the appropriation for
the purchase of approaches to the bridge.
The question was submitted to the con-
troller by the chief of engineers of the
army. The various provisions of the law
as to the, bridge were not precisely clear in
authorizing the purchase of approaches
The controller goes into the subject in de-
tail. explaining the care that is taken by
accounting officers to prevent the use OF
money not specifically appropriated. and
quotes numerous decisions by Attorneys
General and former legal officials of the
government. He closes, however, with the
statement that in his opinion the appropria
ton carried in the act Of April 27. 1904
may be used for buying lands for the ap
proaches of the highway bridge.

heavy fighting. The reconnaissances also
showed an increase in the Japanese forces.

Kuropatkin Reports Fighting.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 19.-The
latest dispatches received by the war Of
flee here leave the situation at the front
practically unchanged. There is no truth
in the report cabled to the Express of
London. from Tokyo, that a battle is pro-
crossing at Idukden. There is nothing
yet to show that Field Marshal Oyama
has begun to move in force.
A dispatch from General kuropatkin an
nOunces that Generals Rennenkapff and
SamsonOff are conducting important recon-
noissance which have resulted in rather
heavy fighting with many casualties.
From General Kuropatkin's telegram
which was dispatched at o'clock yester-
day evening, ii appears that General Rem
nenkampn had recovered from his wound
and had resumed command of his troops.
The recOnnoissances disclosed a further
increase in the japanese forces at Yentaf
and BentSiaputZe. The Russians have Oc-
cupied several villages nearer the Japanese
lines.
General Kuropatkin yesterday reviewed
the thirty-seventh division of the first
army corps.

THE RUSSIAN COMMANDERS.
Details of the Reorganization Decided
UpOn.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 19.-Act-
ing upon the advice of his military advisers,
Emperor Nicholas has decided to form
second Manchurian army. 1t will be form
ed of the corps which are being sent to the
far east and Lieut.. Gen. Linevitch prob
ably will be given the command of the sec
ond army. Gen. Kuropatkin will become
chief of both armies. but probably without
the title of commander-in-chief.
1t is this impending reorganization which
seems to have led to the countless rumors
and reports afoat here of Kuropatkin's
supersession of Viceroy AleXieff COM
mander-in-chief of the army, the latter's
resignation. etc. but the Associated Press
Investigations indicate that the above is the
real situation. The Associated Press is in
formed that Alexieff will continue to be
viceroy. and that as such he could not lie
subordnated in title TO the commanding
general, which would happen if Kuropatkin
was given the title of cOmmander-in-chief.
Nevertheless. the Associated Press is in
formed. Kuropatllin will virtually be in
complete, untrammeled command.
AS has been heretofore stated on high
authority, the stories of AleXieff's inter-
ference with Kuropatkiu are entirely with
out foundation. On the contrary. Alexien
has always shown the utmost appreciation
of the peculiar delicacy of his position as
Kuropatkin's superior, studiously avoiding
even the semblance of interference with the
operations of the Manchurian army.
The Associated Press is authorized again
TO deny absolutely the story that Rear Ad
mlral Prince Ouktomsky has been court
martialed 1t is positively stated that he
has never been under arrest at Port Ar
thur and that there has never been ques
tion of his trial by court-marIal. 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 Wit
hoft fell 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 place Rear Admiral Wiren in
command.
