Admiral Walker to Go.

It is said positively that Admiral
Walker will not continue long as
member Of the commission. The
achievements Of the body under the
direction OF Admiral Walker have not
been satisfactory to the president.
AS constituted now the commission
is said to be unwieldy. 1t is regarded
as containing too many elements
which have to be adjusted, one to an
other, before anything definite can be
done. To remedy this defect the pres
ident. 1t ID believed, will reduce the
membership Of the body and place in
Immediate supervision Of the canal
work men who will work in conso-
nance with the ideas of himself and
Secretary Taft. In doing this the
president will exercise his discretion
about appointing seven members Of
the body as provided for under the
Spooner act. It is very likely, indeed.
that eventually he will reduce the
commission to three members, simply
BY not filing the places OF those whose
designations shall have been accepted.
The president is deeply Interested
In the construction of the canal and
proposes to do everything possible to
facilitate the work. BY adopting such
q plan as is here outlined he hopes to
get together Homogeneous and har-
monious working force "a force that
will do things and achieve results.

st. Petersburg, March 9.-The Asso-
ciated Press hears from a high source
that the position of the Russian left
is critical. Compelled by the failure
of Generals Oku and Nogi to crush the

right and General Kuroki succeeded
In driving in q wedge between Line

be In grave danger of being cut of or
surrounded.
n With the fate Of the gigantic strug-
gle between General Kuropatkin and
Field Marshal Oyama probably already
decided and st. Petersburg waiting
breathless for news ominous silence
reigns. No private or press dis
patches giving news of the days bat
ties have yet arrived. here and the
,Kere fact that the curtain is rpn down,
taking . leaf out of past experience. is
pessiHlstically interpreted. There are
ugly rumors circulating In the streets
that the day is lost and that the Rus
sian army Is in full and disorderly re-
treat, with only the gallant rear guard
fighting OF the victorious Japanese.
Public interest is at higher pitch
than at any time during the war.
From different motives every class is
most eager to learn the result Of the
battle. Groups surround the bulletin
boards and the editions OF the newspa-
pers are. snatched from the hands Of
the newsboys.

General Kuropatkin is having serious
trouble in withdrawing his defeated
army to Tie Pass. The Japanese
have cut the railroad north of Muk-
den and are fiercely assaulting the
retreating Russians. A New Chwang

New York, March 9.-The second
day of the strike on the subway and
elevated lines showed considerable inn
provement. Trains were run in the
subway and the Sixth avenue elevated
line was kept open. At first people
were timid and hesitated to ride on
the roads affected by the strike, but
between $3.50 and 9 o'clock, when the
downtown rush was at its height, the
public began to realize the hopeless
ness of using the already overtaxed
surface lines and eagerness to get to
business oyercame timidity.
Most OF the trains made fairly good
time, but the long stops at stations
and careful running indicated that the
company was taking no risks. Not
withstanding the improvements in the
Interborough's service much of the
downtown traffic was carried by the
surface lines. 4.S Sd
