St. Louis, November 26-After three and a half minutes of play, during which the Haskelps Indians fairly ran the Car lisle braves off their feet. and P. Haul ser, Haskels right end, kicked field goal from the 1S-yard line, the vaunted speed of the western Indians spent itself against the brawn and muscle of the eastern red men. and the latter's heavy plunging backs tore through Haskelfs line almost at will, folded the opposing line back on itself when Haskell had the ball. and piled up score of 3S to before the end of the second half.

NO FURTHER SUMMONS
ON DEPOSITORY BANKS
Secretary Shaw Says One Call VIII
Meet Requirements for Making
Payments on Canal.

Many inquiries are being made
whether. In order TO meet the payments
Of $40. 100000 TO the new Panama Canal
Company and $40 OOO 900 TO the Republic
Of Panama, Secretary Shaw will make a
second call on the national banks for a
percentage Of their deposits of public
moneys.
Another frequent inquiry is in regard
TO the issue OF bonds for defravtng the
cost Of the construction OF the canal.
II is definitely stated there will be no
necessity Of a second call on the banks.
The call for 20 per cent OF the deposits
Will bring in about $50. 900. COO The bal
ance Of the S5O.OOOOOO will be made up
from funds in the Treasury.
AS to a bond issue. il is said there
is no likelihood of that for a number of
months. The SpOOner law made provi-
sion for an appropriation of $40. 600 900
toward the construction and defense OF
the canal. and this appropriation will
suffice to answer present necessities. It
is not likely bond issue Will be needed
before next fall.

LONDON. March 10-The season Of

night and today. passed. and active ug-
gression on land has been begun.
If the reports received in Washington

has come at Feng Wang Cheng, about
forty-fse miles to the northwest of An
tung and on the direct road to Lao

Cheng is, however, less than 100 miles
from the Port Arthur branch of the
Russian railway, and the fact that the
Japanese are this far advanced across
the Yalu River leads many persons to
believe that the Japanese endeavor is
to flank the Russian force which is
presumably concentrated toward Port

Russian Cruisers Fate
Still Remains Mystery

mains the center Of numerous ccnjec-
lures and theories which are reflected
IN special dispatches from Japan, China,
and various European capitals.
The common factor in all these prob
lens is the fact that the japanese feet
was making a reconnaissance at Vladi-
vostok and along the adjacent coast,
and was looking for the Russian cruiser
squadron. The results are stated with
three variants-hrst, that the Russian
squadron was at Vladivostok and could
not be lured out: second. that IL was still
at sea and was expected to return, and
third. that it was caught either outside
or inshore and destroyed after a big
fight
