Tomorrow therefore is expected TO be

Russia has practically named Admiral
Kazhakoff, and Great Britain Admiral Sir
Cyprian Bridge, although the latter Sc
lection is not absolutely settled.
Great Britain expressed her intention OF
asking that United States naval officer
sit on the commission, whereupon Russia
announced that she would select French
officer.
MAY INVITE DEWEY.
There Is a strong intinlation that Great
Britain will invite Admiral Dewey to be
one OF the commissioners.
Officers OF such a character as those
mentioned insure the acceptance OF the
findings OF the commission by both coun-
tries and the world.
Admiral Kaznakoff is one OF the ablest
officers In the Russian navy and is a
courtly man OF conciliatory disposition
and judicial temperament. He has prac-
tically retired from active service. The
high esteem In which he is held at the
admiralty r. shown by the fact that he
