Werner Of New York and the American
Express Company will receive the contract
for exchanging foreign money brought by
aliens. Secretary Metcalf made the fol-
lowing statement
"A considerable number Of bids were sub
mitted for each privilege and careful con-
sideration was accorded to each. the awards
having been governed entirely by the an
nounced intention of accepting those bids
presenting the most favora BILE proposition
for the aliens, the payment to the Govern
ment being merely a nominal sum for rental
of the quarters assigned to the contractors
at the Ellis Island station"
While it was stated at the Department
that Secretary Metcalf and Commissioner
General of immigration Sargent were in
entire accord in the conclusions reached
relative to the privileges, there is good
reason to believe that Mr.. Sargent. as
we'll as Resident Commissioner Watchorn,
strongly urged the Secretary to renew the
contract of Hudgins and Dumas, two news
paper men, the caterers now doing business
at Ellis Island. The firm submitted bid

English Critics Believe kuropatkin
Can Only Save Remnant Of Army.
London, March 1O.-In the opinion
Of English military critics, General
Kuropatkin's forces are doomed to
complete disaster. Careful study OF all
the avenues OF possible escape and the
dispositions of the victorious Japanese
armies leads to the conclusion that
the best he can hope is to save a
mere remnant Of his army after de-
voting whole divisions TO slaughter.
Much Importance is attached to Gen
eral Kawamuras mysterious INDICATED
army. which is momentarily expected
to complete the closing of the net
around the defeated host by appear
ing somewhere in the extreme east, In
the neighborhood OF Yingfan, thus
blocking the sole remaining route of
Yingfan to Tie Pass through Wan.
kaikou Pass.
The Daily Telegraph. In an editorial
article we'll rejecting the general
opinion here, says:
"The greatest battle in the worlds
history promises 10 end In the worlds
greatest military disaster Even If
Kuropatdn succeeds in snatching half
uropatlSin succeeds in snatching half
his host from the terrible ring OF fre,
how can Russia hope to send out an.
other army to replenish his ranks {?
The sword is being wrested from Rus
sia's fumbling hands. Kuropatkin's
disastrous defeat ought TO mean the
end Of the war, unless the czar's
blindness is incurable and he waits for
further sledge-hammer blows to fall.

The correspondent at Toxic OF the
Daily Telegraph says on official au.
thority that fully 100000 Russians are
enveloped. and he hears that Russia's
central army is almost annihilated.
