Names of Three Men Almost Certain of
Appointment--A Score Recommends
ed Because They Wanted the
Money-Choice Of Those to Whom
the President is Willing to Commit
His Personal and Political Fortunes.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The presi-
dent is about ready to name the men,
bers Of the isthmian canal commissions
A large number Of persons have been
recommended and the following are
reasonably certain Of appointment:
Rear Admiral John :, c. Walker,
chairman of the Mckinley Investigate
ing commission to determine a route
for the canal. ,t.t.>.. .,,.. -a.
Isham Randolph, supervising en-
gineer in charge of the. construction
of the Chicago drainage canal. y. Il;
General c. :E.sL. B. Davis of the
engineering corps Of the regular army,
now on his WayAhene from the Philip
pines; recommended by Secretary Eli
hui Root.
Men Known for Their Services. i,
President Roosevelt. is anxious to
appoint men known for their services
in similar work.. Above all things, he
is determined that it shall not be
lame duck'' commission. Enormous
pressure has been brought to bear on
him to appoint former Senator James
K. Jones, whose chief recommendation
is the fact that he needs the money"
There are no less than a score of appli-
cants in the same class, and with SINH
lar credentials 80 :: "-.": - 49,
But the president feels that he is
justified n~dfsregarding, in a large
measure, mere pOllt1cal backing ana
recommendations, in filing positions
Of this character. The success of the
canal and the, freedom of the enter
prise from scandal, depends almost en-
tirely upon the character of the com
mission. s. -
Failure Would Discredit Roosevelt;
On the otherh hand, the failure Of the
project, or the development of any
scandal, would bring discredit upon
the president alone. He and his ad-
ministration would be held responsible
He feels, therefore, that he is fully
justified in making. a. personal matter
of these appointments and choosing
from among the many: candidates
recommended. those whom he is most
disposed to trust, and to whom he is
willing to commit his own persona
and political fortunes. $3.50. =

Believes BluTS on Soils Face the
Cause Of Recent Storms.
Special Dispatch TO The call

SAN JOSE, Oct. 12.-Three large
spots were discovered upon the sun
this afternoon by Father Ricardo, di-
rector Of the meteorological observa-
tory at Santa Clara College. One Of
the spots is several times larger than
the earth, and the other two are of
still greater magnitude These spots
were discovered about 2.30 o'clock and
observed several times by the senior
class and Father Bell, who pronounced
them true sun spots The observations
were made through the S-inch equato-
rial
The larger Of the spots is a slight
distance below the sun equator, and
the two smaller ones ten degrees above
the equator The size OF the larger
spot is very great in comparison with
the earth. One Of the small spots is a
double one, being composed Of two
smaller ones. and, compared with the
earth. is very large. These spots this
afternoon appeared to grow in size,
and the discoverer believes they will
further increase.
Father Ricardo says il is likely that
the late electrical storm and general
meteorological disturbance witnessed
upon the coast were in a large meas
ure due TO the formation Of the sun
spots He can give no reason for the
formation Of the spots.

Absence of OficiaI News Concerning

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct Is. 800 a m
No official news Of the result OF to-day's
battle south Of Mukden is available at
this hour. General Kuropatkin doubt
less has communicated his regular re-
port to Emperor Nicholas, but the dis
patch was not sent back to the general
staff tonight. So the latest word from
Russian sources is contained in the
press dispatch from Mukden- AS is
natural, the absence OF official news Is
pessimistically interpreted In many
quarters, but the general star. though
reticent, counsels patience. pointing out
that the offensive movement was
planned on a large scale, and has not
yet reached a stage where decisive
result could have been attained
The frontal attack on the Yentaf
mines developed a desperate battle
in which probably 100. 900 men are en-
gagged. but, though the dispatches 50
far deal almost exclusively with this
feature OF the battle. 1t IS pointed out
that there is a much wider field in
volved. A fight on the Russian left
flank has not yet developed. and pos
sibly here General Kuropatkin intends
to deliver his main blow. What force

FIGHT NIGHT AND DAY.
Japanese Receive Reinforcements and
DisIodge Russian Batteries.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 12-The
Russians made a rush for Bensihu
after their victory at Beniapwtz- There
they found a strong Japanese force
holding the right bank of the Taitse
River.
Brisk fighting is proceeding there and
around Yentai. In the latter vicinity
there was a force of artillery.
The battle is continuing night and
day. It commenced by the Russians
getting to within three versts 1.-TWO
miles) Of Yentai.
The Japanese. receiving strong rein

lodged the Russian batteries The
battle ended in desperate fight in a
binding sandstorm, the Russians
eventually retiring across the shih
River.
Admiral Alexieff. after taking leave
of Kuropatkin. telegraphed to st.
Petersburg. saying that the programme
of campaign had been carefully ex-
plained to him By the commanding gen.
eral. As a result he was convinced Of
it's feasibility and success.
In accounting for General Kuropat-
kin's sudden decision to advance. which
surprised the world. a clew to the true
reason is that Count Radziwill arrived

evidence OF the wide nature OF the

While il Is now asserted that Cen

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12-'Get to-
gether and dig" This was President
Roosevelt's advice TO the Panama Canal
Commissioners to-day, all of whom
called at the White House with the ex-
ception Of General Wilson. TIE con-
how to dig" whether by contract or
under Government construction, was
the principal feature or the canal ques-
ton discussed. With a view to expe-
diting the work in accordance with
tire Presidents wishes. the commission
favors the purchase and operation Of
steam shovels in order 20 form an es-
timation Of what the work will actu-
ally cost in the event that it is finally
decided to do 1t by contract. The
board left with the President a mem
orandum of what has been done to
date.
Soon after the members Of the COM
mission left the White House John
Barrett, United States Minister to Pan
anna, conferred with the President. The
President gave TO Barrett some get
together advice. On coming away
Barrett made a qualified denial that
differences exist between himself and

a perfect understanding with the Pan
anna authorities and I am here now
working out the agreement made with
them
The President called the commission
into conference for the purpose of fnd-
ing out at first hand what progress
has been made in beginning the work
Of construction. The question of
whether the work can be more eco
ncmically performed by contract or un-
der the direction Of the Government
was discussed and it seemed to be the
general opinion that before 1t was de-
cided finally the Government should
make experiments in the line Of actual
work
The proposition now Is to purchase
fourteen OF the largest and most pow
erful steam shovels and make a begin
ming under Government supervision in
order TO form some basis Of the cost
If 5lds are then called for from con-
tractors the commission can determine

Gated that the commission itself would

now run with system and economy.
The subsistence department, it is
stated. was able to make contract for
fresh beef for the fiscal year 1905 by
which an annual saving of over $40. 900
was effected as compared with the con-
tract for the previous fiscal year. The
running expenses gradually have occn
reduced TO a minimum. the report says,

MILLIONS
IN FOOD
FOR ARMY
COmmiSSary General
Makes Annual
Report.

WASHINGTON, Oct 12.-The an
nual report Of Brigadier General ]. F.
Weston. commissary general of the
army. says the total cost of feeding the
army during the past fiscal year was
IS. .S21. $50. During the year the losses
were s4ls.65o in the Philippines, S7467
on the transports and s12s,S53 in the
United States, Alaska, Porto Rico and
elsewhere. From the total amount of
losses is TO be deducted ss5, $50, the pro-
ceeds OF sales at auctions of damaged
and deteriorated stores.
General Weston says that IT is diff
cult and often impossible to prevent
losses OF perishable stores. Losses are
due principally to long and difficult
water and inland transportation and
70 trying climatic conditions. The
rapid abandonment Of posts also re-
suited in large losses, particularly in
the Philippines.
General Weston urgently recon-
mends the passage OF a bill by Congress
10 give authority to ali officers intrust-
ed with the disbursement OF subsist-
ence funds TO hold restricted amounts
Of such funds in their personal pos
session He says the exigencies of the
public service require an open disre-
gard OF the restrictions Of the exist
ing law in cities where the L easure-
or an assistant treasurer is located
He urges legislation authorizing the
sale at public auction Of accumulated
subsistence stores in good condition,
which cannot advantageously be trans
ported TO other points for issue or sale

is regarded in some quarters
as indicating the nOn-succesS
