cfded to appoint Judge John CARRIER a
Panama Canal Commissioner, pro-
viding the distinguished jurist would
accept the position. While the friends
of Judge CARRIER hope he will not re-
ject the tribute to his professional and
personal worth thus rendered by the
nations chief magistrate and are urg-
ing him TO accept it, his decision is not
likely to be made public for some time,
as he is sick abed at his home, in
Berkeley. and in no condition to give
the subject the consideration its i'm
portance demands.
Judge CARRIER was too i'll to be inter-
viewed yesterday, but from member
of his household it was learned that the
news wired to him by Senator Perkins
caused a complete surprise, as the re-
cipient Of the dispatch had given the
matter no thought. A few months ago
there was a newspaper report that
Judge CARRIER had been recommended
to the President for appointment to the
Canal Commission; but, as the story
was not authenticated, it was not given
serious attention by its subject. The
intellicence from Washington last
Saturday must have been made all the
more surprising to Judge CARRIER by
the fact that he had not been recon-
mended by Senators Perkins and Bard,
although they at once admitted to the

Continued From Page 1, Column .

The Bulgarian people have unanimous
ly expressed warm sympathy for Rus
sia.
1T is unfortunate that Turkey per-
sists in her regrettable hostility. Be-
sides the annoying police measures she
has taken against our people, our COM
merce suffers serious obstacles; and
finally, the continued concentration of
Turkish troops along our frontier and
the mobilization of troops at strategic
points is menacing u.s."
Zoltovitch said there was a war party
in Constantinople which had a prepon-
derating influence, and quoted from
consular reports to the effect that the
Turks feared a military insurrection if
war with Bulgaria were not declared.
In the light of these facts" Zolto-
witch continued. 1T is natural that Bull
garia, too, should be preparing"
It is understood the powers are con-
sidering simultaneous representations
to Constantinople and Sofia to compel
a limitation upon armament.
The Turkish embassy is authorized
to state categorically that the Ottoman
Government has not given any orders

President his fitness for the place In
deed ii looks as if Judge CARRIER were
the Presidents personal choice, the re-
sult of an esteem won when he was in
Washington. about a year ago, on Su-
preme Court business and became ac-
quainted with the President, the late
Senator Hanna and other men close to
the administration.
1t is generally believed that Judge
CARRIERS proved legal ability was his
chief recommendation to the President
for the the commissionership for legal
as we'll as engineering talent viii be
needed on the commission. Indeed the
enactment of laws for the government
of the canal zone is likely to devolve
upon the commissioners, and one good
lawyer at least will be necessary on the
board.
1t was given out last evening at the
CARRIER residence. in Berkeley. that
Harry T. Creswell had spent the after
noon with his sick law partner, and
THAT he would probably be able TO fur
nish some enlightenment as to Judge
Garber's intention as TO the appoint
ment. At the Creswen residence, on
Webster street in this city last night,
it was announced that Mr.. Creswell
had returned from his vist very sick
man. and that his physician forbade
him talking to any one.
The President will send his seven
nominations for canal commissioners to
the Senate next Wednesday. the day
after the ratification of the canal
treaty.

JAPAN TO SINK RUSSIAN CRUISERS

the Russian naval forces in the Far
East badly scattered, there has been
much speculation as TO what would be-
come Of the Russian cruiser at Shang-
hal The agreement Of the powers to
preserve neutrality in China makes this
question vitally important.
A neutral power has the right to or
der warships OF a beiligerent from its
borders. If China, exercising this priv
ilege Of a neutral power, is not able to
enforce its demand. the powers that
have agreed TO preserve and make ef-
fective the neutrality of China, il is
believed here. viii be bound to back
up the Chinese position, provided that
that position is sincerely directed to-
ward the maintenance of neutrality.
It is pointed out that If the Russian
cruiser remain at Shanghai the Jap
anese feet probably Will swoop down
upon that port and attempt to 90 in
and destroy the Russian cruiser, as
was done al Chemulpo where lay the
Variag and the Korietz.
Foreign naval commanders, with the
exception Of Commander Marshall of

protested against the threat of Admiral

he had a knowledge of dogs questioned
him regarding Nero's peculiar actions.
