Anderson May Have Trouble.

It Is said that after all the negro c. W. Anderson, who was appointed by Presi- dent Roosevelt to the New York collector ship, may not have easy sailing in the Senate, and possible hold-up in his con- firmation Is threatened. The nomination is now hung up fin the finance committee, which does not seem to be making any efforts to bring out a report on Ander- sons case during this session. It is, of course, known that Anderson's appoint ment does not please the New York sen- ators. but they agreed to it at the urgent insistence of the President. Having done that. the New York members do not sec why they should particularly bother them selves about confirmation.
 It Is said that the nomination is being held up by Senators Allison Spooner and Platt of Connecticut. Upon just what grounds cannot be ascertained, though it is intimated that Anderson has been very close to the race tracks and polt- icai slums of New York all of his life It may be that charges going more into details have been filed with the commit tee.
 The President is going to make personal appeals for confirmation Other things being equal. the democrats have no oppo- sition to make to Andersons confirma- tion. They have not the slightest objec- ton to the Presidents appointing negroes to office in the north.

SORRY FOR DELAY
 IN THE SUCCESSOR
Democrats Need Vote on San
 Domingo Treaty
ANDERSON IS IN TROUBLE
Confirmation of Negro for New York Position May Not Be Reached at Present Session Because
 of Opposition.

Washington, March 11.-(special.) )-Dem- ocrats here believe that whoever is elect ed senator from Tennessee he will be a democrat who will vote with his party, hence regret is expressed that under the law the legislature cannot elect in time to send to Washington a senator who will vote against the San Domingo treaty. There are now but thirty-one democrats in the Senate and the loss of two of them will ratify the treaty It is hardly con sidered likely that the debate will be long enough prolonged to admit of the new Tennessee senator's participating in it. Senator Morgan, the ranking dem ocrat of the foreign relations committee, expressed the opinion today that vote may be reached as early as next Satur- day.
 The fate of the treaty is still proble- matical and 1t Is by no means certain that 1t will be ratified in spite of the republi- can knack of picking up democratic sen ators whenever it will serve their pur- pose

NOT A WORD ABOUT
 PEACE" SAYS CASSINI
Russia's Answer .o the Peace Talk Will Be Large Achievements
 at the Front.

Washington. March 11.-"After Liao Yang there was talk of peace. Rus sias answer was endorsements. Like Liao Yang. Mukden is the scene of am other retreat, and again Russia's answer will be large endorsements. but of peace. not a word.'
 This was the emphatic statement of Count Cassini. the Russian ambassador. today in the light of the morning dis patches telling of the Russians retreat. The only official news he has received in the last few days from his government regarding the operations is contained fl, a brief cablegram which came last night saying that General Kuropatkin was retreating after days of fierce fight iLg. The ambassador, however, was ac- quainted several weeks ago with the final decision of the Emperor that Rus sa would continue the war until Rus sian arms were victorious regardless of the time it would require. and already preparations are being made for large endorsements to General Kuropatkin.
 If an echo of peace should come out of St. Petersburg, no official in Washington would be more surprised than the Rus sian ambassador. who has all along been positively informed that nothing but vic- tory for General Kuropatkin can bring an end to the war.

Japan seeko Loan of sso,ooo,ooo From oil Company. Giving Naptha De- posIts on Island as
 Security.


 St Petersburg. March 11.--A semi-offi- cial statement issued this evening is as fellows:
 "The defeat at Mukden is furnishing material for conjectures of peace over lures to the European press, which is filled with articles and expressions of opinion on the subject of peace. It has been stated in all seriousness that the Russian government has informed the French government that it is the inten- tion of the Emperor to engage in peace pour parleas We are authorized to der clare in the most categorical fashion that all statements to the effect that it Ia the intention of the Russian govern men to open pour parleas with view to the conclusion of peace are absolutely without foundation.
 "These statements do not emanate from well informed Russian sources. They either are simply conjectures of various correspondents CT are derived from Japanese sources.
 Tt is known that Japan at present is negotiating a loan with British and American bankers, and that she Is also negotiating for 1O0.000.000 yen (about $50,- 00G,0OW with an oil company, giving as guarantee naptha deposits in North Ja- pan and in Saghalin Island
 Interested parties are encouraging these reports in order to assure success of a loan, after removing the fears caused by the uncertainty of the dura- tion of the war"

.OYAMA'S GENIUS
 IS WONDERFUL German Critics Pronounce Him One of Greatest HAS DONE BIG THINGS
 
Achievement Is of the Greater Magni- tude Since He Had Inferior Numbers and Was In
 Enemy's Country.

Berlin, March 11-Lieut. Gen. A. Won
 Boguslawsky, retired, is of all the mili- tary critics who endeavor to estimate the
 battle of Mukden in the Berlin press to-
 day probably the most competent and or the highest rank.
 Field Marshal Oyama, e says, by the greatness of things he has done. must be accepted as great commander, especially
 because he did not possess superiority Tn numbers The battle is of absorbing in terest for professional soldiers because
 never before have such numbers been en- gagged over so wide a territory. The very magnitude of the operations has been a test of the qualities of the commanders
 in-chief.
 Il am little inclined" says General Von
 Boguslawslxy, Ito sit at the green table and give a damning verdict. but still one
 may be allowed to form an opinion or such facts as are already available. 'eThe task of directing 100000 men on single stage with eighty to one hundred [ miles front so that each unit may have its proper weight against thoughtful and active enemy was too large for kuro- patkin whose training was adjusted 10 the command of some 100000 men. It Is evident that the magnitude of the oper- ations with the necessity for corelating means to end and making fresh disposl- tions hourly to meet fresh development of i the attack was beyond Kuropatkins strength. The brain in command failed
 on the Russian side to perceive the de- velopments and meet them with proper precision.
 "Oyama is somewhere far from the rim of the fighting zone in touch by field tele-
 graphs and field telephones with every important unit in action. He was doubt less able to sketch approximately at any time during the eighteen days operations the relative positions of his own and the Russian divisions and coordinate he movements. With certain equality Of
 force Oyama even with the fruits of vic- tory not yet fully gathered has achieved
 an immense victory whose effects on the
 military situation in the far east and on
 the internal situation in Russia must be far and deep reaching"
 Colonel Gadeke of the Tageblatt and
 other critics arrive generally at the same conclusions.

RANKS ARE IN GOOD ORDt <

St. Petersburg, March 12.-(2 a. m.l-- Russia still has an army In the Far East and it's line of retreat is not cut. Field Marshal Oyamas trap again was sprung too late to bag the prey he desired, and though pounded on the rear and both Hanks by artillery and losing heavily in killed, wounded and prisoners, General Kuropatkin, with the main position of his forces intact, is falling back slowly to Tie Pass. whither a considerable part O. his army already has arrived and joined hands with the reserves in pre- pairing a position behind which the de- feated army may find shelter.
 General Kuropatkin, himself with the rear of his guard. was reported Satur- day afternoon in the vicinity of Syanzy- ga. twenty-five miles below Tie Pass. having accomplished some fifteen miles of his retreat, and being already beyond the jaws of the trap as originally set. How many of his men he was obliged to leave behind and whether any of the units of his army were cut off or cap tured before the retreat began is not stated.
 Causes unbounded Relief.
 Both General Kuropatkin's official dis hatch and that of the Associated Press from Tie Pass were filed Saturday after noon. The news contained in these dis patches will cause unbounded relief in St. Petersburg, which in the absence of any information since Kuropatkin laconic retreat began" published on Friday, had come to believe Tokio rumors that the entire army would be driven to the noun tains and forced to surrender.
 A long days march or even two remains to be accomplished, but the retreat now is believed to be largely question of shak- Ing off the pursuing Japanese from the flank and rear, and apparently no longer matter of cutting a way through for midable forces.
 News Sent With Difficulty.
 The Associated Press dispatch from Tie Pass was filed with great difficulty by the correspondent who left Mukden with the rear guard, spent Friday with Gen eral Kuropatkn and took long ride to Tie Pass Saturday morning, after which he again returned to the front The dis- patch indicates the strategy of Fieli Marshal Oyama's double turning move ment. The attack on either side is not to be regarded as feint, but as having been designed to have the jaws of the trap close in so as to meet at the villages of Tawan and Pu. on the Mandarin road, where mountain range. pointing like a gigantic finger westward towards Muk- den, begins to slope sharply away from the road and railway.
