ALDERMEN,s TRANSIT HOLDUP.
Stay o. Justice BIanchard's order Granted
FIX Parte by Justice Truax.


Eek Parte by Justice Truax.
1t will be remembered that at the instiga-
ton Of the Board Of Aldermen a taxpayer
named Wilcox began suit about three
weeks ago to enjoin the Board Of Estimate
and Apportionment from acting on the
rapid transit routes which a short time
before had been adopted by the Rapid
Transit Commission after months OF in
vestigation. This suit was based upon
the contention that the recent legislation
transferring the franchise granting powe.
from the Board OF Aldermen to the Board
OF Estimate and Apportionment was I'm
constitutional.
In that suit the plaintiff applied for an
injunction, which, after argument, was
denied by Justice Blanchard. who wrote
strong opinion upholding the constitu-
tionalty of the legislation. This decision
apparently left the Board Of Estimate and
Apportionment free to act upon the rapid
transit routes. They took preliminary
action last week and have made the matter
a special order for their weekly meeting
Tomorrow
1t has just been discovered that several
days ago Justice Truax granted ex parte
an order staying Justice Blanohard's order
This stay, so long as 1t Is in force, nullifies
Justice Blanchards decision.
he motion to continue Justice Truax's
stay comes up before Justice Gildersleeve
this morning and the Corporation Counsel,
acting for the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment, will endeavor to have the stay
vacated. If the stay is vacated, then the
Board Of Estimate and Appointment will
he free to act upon the rapid transit routes
at its meeting on Friday. II, however. the
stay is not vacated and it is not able to act
on Friday it may not be able to act until
Septemt err as there will he no full meeting
of the Board OF Estimate and .Apportion-
ment for about two months hegnning with
July IA.
The purpose of the tactics OF the Board Of
Aldermen and Of their allies who are seeking
to delay rapid transit is admitted. They
hope to prevent the Board Of Estimate and
Apportionment from acting on the rapid
transit franchises until fall thus insuring
a delay OF at least three months in the be-
ginning Of the construction Of the new
subways. II, however. Justice Gildersleeve
vacates the stay the Board Of Estimate and
Apportionment will tie free to act on Friday.

WarshIp for HaytI.

WashingtOn-Hayti has again been
placed on the list of troublesome little
republics where the United States
must occasionally send a warshiD or
two and threateningly brandish the
"big stick" In a day or two a war
ship and a small bunch of marines
will be on their way to Portau-Prince,
the capital of Hayti.
Minister Powell cabled the state de-
partment that serious trouble was
expected in Hayti. and that March 81
and April would be disturbed. He
suggested that p vessel be sent at
once to protect American interests.
A request was at once made on the
navy department for a vessel.

Only NEGATIVE Conditions.

st. Petersburg. Officially the au-
thorities continue to deny stoutly that
Russia has made any proposals TO
Japan.
This is literally true, as Russia has
only made known the negative condi-
tions, leaving the Intermediary to con-
vey these conditions on its own re-
sponsibility to Japan.
Diplomats in st. Petersburg are con-
vinced that something is in progress,
but none of those in position to
know will acknowledge that they are
aware what has actually been or is
being done.
The Novoe Vremya yesterday for
= the first time admitted the possibility
of negotiations for peace, commenting
on the efforts of the British and
French press to prove that peace is
advisable both for Russia and Japan.
The Novoe Vremya declares that the
payment of indemnity by Russia is
utterly out of the question, as it'would
be a contribution tending to build up
the strength of Japan, and that Japan
is not in position to claim indemnity.
The paper asks whether diplomats
"who did nothing to prevent war" now
will turn their attention to bringing
to a close terms advantageous to both
combatants.

st. Petersburg There has been no
fighting of Importance latterly.
Reconnaissance establish the fact
that the Japanese are gathering in
heavy force 20 miles south of Siping-
hal, evidently intending to attrack the
Russian position at Sipinghai.
The Russians are strongly fortify-
ing there and apparently intend to
make a stand The country between is
comparatively clear of Japanese.
The Japanese are approaching Kir-
in, threatening the communications in
the Ussuri district. The number of Chi
nese bandits is constantly growing.
Chinese continue to report that Field
Marshal Oyama has issued proclama-
tions fixing the date for the occupa-
ton of Harbin as April 10, but this pre-
diction, if actual, is apparently inn
probable of fulfillment.

May FIeht AaaIn Next VICE.

ST. Petersburg, duel be,
tween the two opposing armies in Man.
churia may be on the program for the
coming week.
The Russians, according to the AS.
sociated Press Harbin correspondent,
are now strongly terrifying their posi-.
tions at Sipinghai, against which the
Japanese are reported to be gathering
in force
The reported Russian retirement
from Sipinghai to Chaoumiaodzi was
incorrect, due to telegraphic error in
the confusion of similar Chinese names,
Chaoumiaodzi with Shuamoyaotszi
south of Sipinghai, whence the Russian
advanced force retired To the fortified
line at Sipinghai.
The Japanese followed to- some eX-
tent, but border of 20 miles OF de-
batable ground still remains between
the two armies, over which the Japa-
nese probably will not advance until
they are ready to attack.
Equally important news is that a
column of Japanese is moving against
Kirin perhaps with the intention of
turning the position eastward and
striking at the Vladivostok line of com
munication with the double purpose of
isolating the fortress and separating
