CANNON SAYS NO
AT RISK OF REFUSING WHAT is
NOT OFFERED, HE SPEAKS.
Does Not Want the Vice Presidency
and Won't Take 1t.

Washington, May 3.-"Even at the risk
of being accused of declining that which
/ probably could not get if l desired it,
| answer most unequivocally that if the
nomination We're rendered to me ] would
not accept it under any circumstances
whatever"
Thus strongly did Speaker Cannon in
an authorized interview with a Post re-
porter, today emphasized his determine
ton with reference to the vice presi-
dency AS he concluded debating what
he had to say, the speaker added:
IF there is any language which can
be more decisive, write it in
What are your reasons for such q

sentatives l may say my life work has

Republicans of the congressional district
in which l reside, and have accepted the

continued, "of which. in my Judgment
there is no reasonable doubt will be a
candidate to succeed myself as speaker
If. perchance, however. the Republicans
should not have majority in the next

In my Judgment l can do better ser

American Banker Will Trans
fer Panama Funds.
AS FISCAL AGENT
Will so Manage as Not TO
Disturb Business.

Paris, May 3.-Having wound up the
connected with the Panama transfer, j.
Pierpont Morgan left Paris today for
Aix-Les Baines. Before his departure he
gave the correspondent of the Associa ted
press the main points of the final agree
ment as follows:
The Panama canal company wished to
have the money turned over in Paris in
stead of in the United States and was
willing to pay all the expenses incident
to the payment here. In order to accom-
plish this the United States has appointed
the Morgan company fiscal agents for the
purpose of the payment, the Morgan COM
pany in turn to make contract with
the Panama company whereby the S40.-
100000 will be paid in Paris. The contract
specifies the Banque De France as de-
pository and also the proportion of the
payments going to the old and new
Panama companies respectively. The
signing of this contract closes the trans
action and il only remains for the Nor
gan company TO carry it out by making
payments from time to time to the
Banque De France. This will be done so
as to cause no disarrangement of the
American or French money markets. The
report that syndicate of Paris bankers
is interested is incorrect The appoint
ment of the Morgan company as fiscal
agents places the whole transaction on
their hands. They will associate with
Lazard Freres and other houses of a sim
liar character in New York and here
but so far as the United States is con-
cerned il entrusts the financing operation
to the Morgans. The other details cor
respond with those foreshadowed in these
dispatches April %.
The contract covering the financial OPP
Grafton bears the signature of Messrs.
Day and Russell, the United States as
sistant attorney general, the liquidator
of the old company, the officers of the
new company and the Morgan company.
Messrs. Day and Russell will remain
here this week to secure copies of the
papers, etc, but they consider the trans
action closed

RUSSIANS FOUGHTBRAVELY
But They Had to Yield After
Heavy Losses.

London, May 3.-The japanese legation
this afternoon gave out General Kurolki's
report, dated the afternoon Of May l. as
follows:
THE enemy offered Stubborn resistance
to our pursuit, adding three hundred to
our casualties. The enemy fought bravely
to the last. Finally two companies OF
their artillery, after losing the majority
of the men and horses, surrendered, rails
ing the white flag. The officers made
prisoners, assert that General Kashtal
insky. the commander Of the eleventh
and twelfth infantry regiments. and the
commander of the artillery, were killed.
Many other superior officers were killed
or wounded. Many refugees subsequently
returned and surrendered. The prisoners
include thirty officers and three hundred
non-commissioned officers and men,"
Toxic, May "a supplemental report
was received here today from General
Kuroki. 1t is dated today and says:
Yesterday the enemy offered stub
born resistance against our pursuit. add
ing about three hundred to our casualties.
The enemy stood with resolution until
their artillery consisting of two batteries
lost the majority Of its men and horses.
They then broke the breeches and closing
apparatus of their guns, hoisted the white
flag.
According to a captured Russian officer.
Major General Kashtalinsky, commander
Of the third East Siberia rife brigade the
colonies of the eleventh and twelfth rife
regiments and the commander Of the
rife artillery battalion were killed in
the fighting at Hamatan.
1t seems that the enemy was entirely
routed by our attack, because sinces yes
terday many have come in and sur
rendered. Our prisoners include 30 Of
ficers, 20 of whom are wounded and 800
men, 100 of. whom are wounded.

STUDENTS STEAL COW.
But the Animal Is Of the Stuffed Va.
rietv

Columbia. No. May "A student prank
may result in the suspension of the entire
sophomore class of the agricultural de-
partment Of Missouri university. Mem
hers of that class broke into the agricul-
tural museum and took out two of the
finest mounted specimens in the museum
a white English COW of rare breed. and
a stuffed hog.
These stuffed animals were placed on
the portico u academic hall in the places
formerly occupied by the historic bronze
lions. The COW and hog were securely
fastened and the entire force Of university
janitors was busy half the day removing
them. The COW was very valuable
specimen. and was given 10 the univer-
sty several years ago by Qeen Victoria.
Officials Of the agricultural department
are very indignant, and say they Will not
only suspend the offenders. but will pros
ecute them. This is the first time in the
history of the university that the agri-
cultural department has engaged in any
student pranks.

SILENCE Is OMNIBUS.
Russians Fear the Disaster Is Worse
Than Reported,

ST Petersburg. May 3.-The silence of
the authorities here regarding the later
details of the fighting on the Yalu river
is interpreted ominously and there is
consequent prevalence of all sorts of ir-
responsible rumors regarding the magni
tude of the Russian losses. some figures
going as high as 1900. These manifestly
are gross Qualifications.
The absence of official information is
explained by the general staff by the
fact that few japanese have succeeded
in getting in the rear of the Russian
position and cutting the wires between
Tai-San-Cheng and Feng- Wang Cheng.
Heavy losses are admitted but they are
not believed to exceed a few hundred
men and some guns. The latter while
protecting the treat of the Russian forces
from An Tung to Kiu-Lien-Cheng had
to be abandoned owing to the loss Of
horses. The breech-locks however were
carried away, so the guns will be of
no service to the enemy According to
the latest information General Zassalitch
is retiring in good order along the main
road and the Japanese are not following
him. Details are expected as soon
General Zassaltch Is again in communi
cation
There is no confirmation Of the reports
that General Zassalitch or General Kash-
talinsky is wounded
In the meantime the public remains in
the dark and is the prey of idle rumors.
The war bulletin boards are bare and
not a single press dispatch has come
through from the front. The figures nf
the Russian losses given from japanese
sources in the dispatches from abroad
are carefully eliminated by the censhors.
Until General Zassalitch's official advices
arrive the general staff is inclined to
believe that Zassalitch. who was under
orders 70 withdraw after impeding the
progress of the enemy much S pos
sble, allowed the fight TO mature beyond
his intentions. being compelled TO sus-
tain heavy losses along the Litzavena
