GERMANY AND TIBET.
PRESENTATION TO DALAI LAMA. (by tbijsoraph—press association—copyright.) Berlin, September 3. The "Vossische Zeitung" declares that the Gorman Minister in Peking has commissioned the Legation doctor to convey to the Dalai Lama of Tibet the Kaiser's portrait. An agreement concerning Tibet between Britain and Russia, which recognises the suzerainty of China over that country, closes it against both Russia and Great Britain politically, commercially, and financially, subject to certain limited rights accruing to Great Britain under the Treaty of Lhassa of 1904 and the Anglo-Chinese Convention, which confirmed that Treaty in, 190 G. Only the Buddhist subjects of either Power are allowed, for strictly religious purposes, to have intercourse with the Buddhist authorities in Tibet.
