Early Opening of Navigation Morgan Smith and Wife Caught Mrs. Stan ford's Will Emperor William at Tangier- Sports Prohibited on Mem' orlal Day President's Southern Trip. M. Tultahaahl (Japanese specl&l financial commissioner at Loudon), In an Interview said: "The war cost between 1250,000,000 and fSOO.OOO.OOO the first year and it is fcitimated that it will cobI $350,000,000 during the present year. It would be unprecedented in the history of great wars that no Indemnity and no terri tory be given up by the vanquished. While it Is beyond my province to dis cuss terms of peace, I can express my personal opinion. As the war was forced upon Japun it la not likely that she. will waive the right to an Indem nity and cession of territory when con cluding peace. What indemnity will be demanded I cannot say, but It Is my private opinion that It will at least cover tho expense of the war. "If RusnJa assumes that a continu ance of tho war will deplete our finances before hers it will be another mistake of judgment on her part. We can maintain a sufficient army in Manchuria to keep out the Russians Indefinitely, hut this will necessitate Japan remaining In Manchuria and ad ministering tho province on a war footing, which we do not doslre. "Manchuria Is fertile and productive and au army can be maintained there more economically than In the case of tho opposing force In Siheila. If Russia Is preparod for the test of a war of finances wo are willing. The longer the war lasts the more certain It will he that it will not be resumed." Bold Japanese Move.. Gunshu Pass, ICS miles north of Tie Puss, April 3 The situation here Is unchanged. General Mlstchenko has moved forward Into close touch with the Japanese and keeps up con stant skinulishlng. Elsewhore every thing la quiet. Native reports, which may he taken for what they are worth, state that the Jnpnnse are leaving before the Russian front only a screen capable with the help of the Mukden and Tie pass fortifications and garrisons of holding in check General Linevltch, and nre transferring the bulk of their five armies to Vladivostok and by means of a wide movement through Mongolia to Tsltslhar. Considering the great distances In volved, the plan appears too hold and almost impracticable; but Japanese Intoxication from continued success, bold Initiative and determined perse verance must be regarded. The situa tion affords an opportunity for Rus sian cavalry, which thus far has played an Insignificant rolo, to distinguish It self by penetrating the Japanese In tentions. Opposing Armies Again Approach. Another duel between the two op posing armies in Manchuria may be on the program this week. The Russians according to a Harbin correspondent, are now strongly fortifying their po sitions at Slplnghal, aguinst which the Japanese are reported to be gathering In force. . Equally important news Is that a column of Japanese Is moving against Klrln, perhaps with the Intention of turning the position eastward- and striking at the Vladivostok line of communication with the double pur poso of isolating the fortress and sep arating General Linevltch' army from a valuable base of supplies, the l's curl district. Russia Outlines Conditions. Russia has outlined the conditions under which she 'Is prepared to nego tiate peace. " v It was stated with every semblance of authority, that, thanks tq . the sooti. offices of the United States and France, the question of peace had. bb-' 1 sumed practical shape.

NEW CANAL COMMISSION Benjamin M. Harrod Only Old Member Reappointed. Secretary Taft Made Public the Per sonncl of New Commission and DIs tribution of Duties Among Them President's Idea of Only Three Mem bers Partially Carried Out Washington, Aurll 4. The president has carried out his plans for the re organization of the Isthmian canal commission as to personnel and bus! ness methods, generally on the llnni of the legislation he suggested to con gress at the last session, which fallen in the crush of business in the closing hours. Yesterday, within half an hour aftei the president's departure from Wash lngton, Secretary Taft, directly in charge of canal matters, made publk the .personnel of the new commission and the division of duties among them Only one member of the old commls Eton, Benjamin M. Harrod, was rea-j pointed. Finding he was obliged legally to an point Beven commissioners, the presi dent did so, but he carried out hi plan by making three othem pne tlcally tho commission; . The othei four, though bearing the' title of com nilssioners not only receive a lowei compensation but are assigned muci smaller fields of activity. Each Has a Special Field. The president also has carried oul his scheme of dividing up the work of canal building among the commls sloners, so that nominally acting as a body on stated occasions-, each Indl vldual member would operate in a special field. The head of the commission is 3 trained railway .man chosen for his ad mlnlstrative ability. In the financial and purchasing field; the new gover nor of the zone is a lawyer who alsc has had to do with state affairs; the engineer commissioner already Is known for his abilities in the execu tion of the practical work of canal cutting. Tho other members of the commls slon are placed to comply with the law as to the number of the commis sion, but nre men of high ability at hydraulic engineers. Secretary Tafl told them that they were expected to show results and that is said tq te the key note for te president's ac tlon. , The personnel of the commission is as follows: Theodore P. Shonts, chairman; Charles E. Magoon, governor of canal zone; John F. Wallace, chief engineer; Rear Admiral M. T. Endlcott, U. S N.; Brigadier General Peter C. Halns U. S. A., retired; Colonel Oswald M Ernst, corps of englners, U. S. A., and Benjamin M. Harrod. The commissions of Messrs. Shonts, Magoon, Endlcott, Halns and Harrod were delivered to them yesterday and they took the oath of office as Isth mlan canal commissioners. They im mediately called upon Secretary ol War Taft and It Is expected they will enter upon their duties at once. Reorganization Plans. After their induction into office and their consultation with Secretary Taft the commissioners talked ovei the reorganization plans. .Under the president's order the actual headquar ters of the commission will b in Pan ama and probably there will be a con siderable transfer of employes from Washington to that place. Chairman Shonts, with Governor Magoon and Engineer Wallace, will spend most of his time in the zone but as the administrative offices nre directly in Mr. Shonts' charge he will be in Washington more or less. Tne purchasing agent of the convnlssion probably will establish himself In New York. Rear Admiral Endlcott and Colonel Ernst at present are charged with im portant duties In connection with the navy and army. The admiral is chlel of the naval bureau of yards and docks anfl Colonel Ernst is not only In charge of Important river and harbor work In the neighborhood of Chicago but is president of the Mississippi river com mission and a member of the interna tional doep water way commission which Is to meet during the summei at Toronto. Their continuous pres ence on the isthmus is not neceisary and it probably will be quite sufficient If they are there only long enough to attend the regular quarterly meetings at Panama. Colonel Ernst will be relieved of tho river and harbor work In the Chicago division by Lieutenant Colonel W. H Blxby and come here at once. Colonel Ernst will continue to act as presi dent of the Mississippi river comiriy slon and member of the International deep water way commission Governor Magoon will reside perm anently on the isthmus and has re signed his present position au law officer of the bureau of insula! affairs and of the commission.

Senate Adopted Stock Transfer Tax and Mortgage Tax Bills. Albany, April 4. The senate last night passed by party vote, ayes 33, noes 14, the two administration reve aue measures adopted by the Repub lican rrty caucuses in both houses One Is the so-called stock transfer ta bill, prescribing a stamp tax of 2 cents per $100 or $2 per 100 shares on tho sale or transfer of stock securi ties; the other provides an annual five-mill state tax in lieu of all othei taxes on all mortgages recorded aftei July 1 next, one-half of the proceeds tc go to the state, one-half to the local ity. There was a two-hours debate on the stock transfer bill, which was opposed solidly by the Democrats, led by Sen ators Grady and McCnrren. The six senators from Greater New York Cooper, Drescher, Elsberg, Gardner Page and Saxe and Senator Hlnman of Binghnmton, all signified their op position to the bill, but voted for Ir. though under emphatic protest, bo cause bound by caucus action. The mortgage tax bill was passed with little debate. Senators Cassidy and Tully strove tc - amend it so as to exempt mortgages held by building and loan associations but they were the only Republicans who voted with the Democrats for th-i amendment. The passage of the bills was in the nature of -a surprise, although Senatoi Raines said last week that he would bring them up "Monday or Tuesday"; It had been generally believed the bills would pass the senate today. Senator Grady declared that the whole Indirect taxation scheme was evolved to blind the farmers to the ex travagance of the state administration and with Senator McCarren bitterly arraigned the whole system. Senator White declared that the Democrats always lined up solidly against the down-trodden and for the money corporation Interests of the state. He recalled that the second day after the senate Republicans caucused in favor of the measure the record price was paid for a New York stock exchange seat. "In deference to the sentiment that has arisen In my community," said Senator Elsberg of New York city, "1 cannot Join 'my Republican colleagues in voting for this bill without record ing my regret. This might well be called a bill to drive the Republican party out of New York city and I want to tell my friends that they are mak ing it impossible to elect a Republican mayor." He declared that all six Republican senotors rrom New York city voted foi the bill under protest. Senator Hlnman of Blnghamton was the second Republican to voice a pro test. He Enid, however, that he was willing to see New York city taxed to help the rural communities pay for the $101,000,000 can.il foisted upon them. Senators Page and Saxe of New York city expressed views like those of Senator Elsberg declaring that they voted for the bill only because bound by caucus action. Senator Saxe declared that in so voting they were committing political suicide, Senator Marks offered an amend ment taxingvall telephones $3 and gas and electric light meters 50 cents a year, explaining that its main purpose was to distribute the indirect tax more evenly over the whole state. Senator Marks' amendment was lost and the bill passed by a vote of 33 to 14. The mortgage tax bill was then tak en up. Senator Cassidy presented nn amendment exempting mortgages held by .building and loan associations, which was supported by the Democrats and by Senators Tully and Cassidy, both Republicans. Tho amendment was defeated and the bill passed by a party vote 33 to 14. Hill's Second Victim Dead. Cleveland, April 4. James H.
