He did deviate from his custom by
taking a trolley car downtown, but he
explained this was not because he was

slippery.
"I am not in the least tired or sore,"
he said. "I enjoyed the walk und feel

He admitted that in making his walk
yesterday he finished twenty-five min

Philadelphia Orchestra Concert in
Toronto May Be Canceled
Objection to vnccinution may cause
the members of the Philadelphia Or
chestra to abandon the plan to give a
concert in Torouto, February 23.
As there are a few cases of smallpox
in Toronto, the American health au
thorities have ordered the vaccination
of nil persons going to Canada.
The musicians fear that vaccination
might incapacitate them for some time.
Arthur Judson, manager of the or
chestra, is trying to arrange for the
northern trip without vaccination.

Semenoff Not Blamed
Colonel Morrow in n dispatch says
that General Stmcnoff personally is not
to be blamed for the action of his sub
ordinates. It is believed here that a
peaceful settlement of thc incident is
possible.
The trouble caused some delay in the
American evacuation of Transbaikalia,
but two trains started, one ou Janu
ary 10 and the other on January 17,
eastward, indicating that a settlement
of the difficulty had been reached.
American army authorities believe it
will be March It) before thc last Amer

sent that all American women be hur
