that an effort is being made by some OF
the Administration officials to induce
General Wheeler to withdraw his request
for immediate action on his resi- gnEtion.
1t is intimated that this effort is atSrib-
utable solely to an interest in tbs per-

connection it is recalled that the Presi-

for special legislation empowering him
to retire General Wheeler, Geperal Lee

cure his seat in the House of Represent

LOOK FOR RUssO-JAPANSE WAR.
What Means the Activity in the Russian
Squadron in Eastern Waters!
(By The Associated Press. }

(By The Associated Press.)
Yokohama, Japan, February 23.-(Via
Victoria, r. c., March 18th. 1.-The per-
sistency with which the Western press
clings to the imminence of war between
Russia and Japan is attracting much at
tention here. Thus far there has seemed
to be no foundation whatsoever for the
rumor. The fact which now impresses
the public is the arrival of representa-
tives of some of the prominent New York
papers, they having been sent for the ex-
press purpose of being on the spot when
the outbreak comes. This, together wit
the activity prevailing in the Russian
squadron in Eastern waters, assembling
in force as it is in the Korean Straits,
and the reports constantly coming in of
extraordinary doings at Port Arthur,
have at least forced the conviction that
where there is SO much smoke there
must be some fire, and the people and
press are co:resrondingly on the qui vive.
In official circles, however, the utmost
calm is manifest, while everybody else is
wondering what it all means. In the
meantime one of the Chinese papers ac-
tualy propounds the theory that Japan
will be likely to take the opportunity
furnished by the approaching naval
manouevres in the Korean Straits 10
strike a sudden blow at Russia.

from starvation and to provide work and
food. The women presented most pitt
able sight. They were barefooted and
ragged, half naked, dust covered and
weary from their journey Some of them
were lame; all were discouraged.
The petition which they presented to

Shamrock Day May Rival Primrose Day in the

London, March 17.--ShamroclI day

OF the parade.
The supply OF genuine shamrock was
SO scarce that half a dozen leaves sold
readily for half a crown. The ancient
ceremony of ''trooping the color" at
Dublin Castle was especially picturesque.
