NEW CANAL COMMISSION.
An Outline of the Proposed Reorgani-
Zation.

The proposed reorganization of the 18th
mian canal commission has been quite gem
orally discussed, but before it is promul-
gated it will be necessary to select some
man for one of the important posts. An
outline of the reorganization indicates that
there will be created an executive commit
tee of three from the commission, one of
whom shall be president, the other the gov
ernor of the canal zone, and the third the
chief engineer. Mr.. Wallace will be the
chief engineer, and Judge Charles E. Ma
goon the governor of the canal zgne, and
the third man is now under consideration,
who will be the presiding officer He will
fulfill practically the duties of the commits
sioners who are now located in Washing
ton, such as purchasing all supplies, and
will have direct supervision of all matters
that do not come under the governor of the
zone and the chief engineer. 1t is expected
that four other commissioners will be
named, and in accordance with the Spooner
act they will be engineers, one each from
the army and navy. These commissioners,
under the direction of the executive COM
mittee, will have charge of different lines
of construction. They will also constitute
an advisory board to the chief engineer.

whom he was closely associated.

Antonin Proust who was born in 1882.
entered journalism in his youth Travelled
extensively and was the author of a num-
Der of works on the fine arts and travel
He was correspondent of the Temps in the
Franco-Prussian war. After the capitula-
ton of Sedan he became secretary of Gam
beta, the cause of whose death had been
shrouded in mystery, but who. according to
one report, died in a manner somewhat
similar to M. Proust.
In 1876 NJ. Proust was elected to the
chamber of deputies from Mort and de-
voted his attention almost exclusively to
foreign affairs and the fine arts. In 1881
he entered the cabinet presided over by
Gambetta as ministN of fine arts and re-
tired with the ministry in 1889, after which
the ministry of fine arts was suppressed.
In December, 1892, NJ. Proust was among
the many deputies compromised in the
great Panama canal scandal, and was one
of the five prosecuted by the government,
which caused NJ. Proust to resign the posi-
ton of French commissioner general to the
Chicago worlds fair. He was tried before
the assiZe court on the Panama charges
and was acquitted.
RouSita Mauri was at one time the lead
ing dancer of the Paris opera and was at
the head of her profession in the world
When she retired from the stage in 1898 no
dancer was well known.

NATURALIZED AMERICANS.
Inquiry Made as to Expulsion of
Syrians From Haiti.

In answer to an inquiry from the State
Department United States Minister Powell
has cabled from Port au Prince that Syr-
ians who have by naturalization ACQUIRED
American citizenship are not subject to ex-
pulsion from Haiti under the decree just
promulgated ordering the deportation of
Syrians from the republic. The State De-
partment made this inquiry following an
appeal to it by a delegation of Syrians who
sought to prevent the execution of the de-
cree, but as 1t appears that no American
citizens are involved the department has
been obliged to inform the delegation that
it cannot interfere.
Some time ago Minister Powell reported
that he had found a number of Syrians in
Haiti in possession of fraudulent United
States naturalization papers and promptly
reported that fact to the Haitian govern
ment, which Immediately took up the pa
pers and these men will be expelled with
the other Syrians.

MASTERLY IN RETREAT
Russian Generals Display Splendid
Execution-Eluding japanese.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 22-1:55 d. M
The retreat of the Russian army from
the latest reports, evidently is being con-
Quoted in a splendid fashion. In four days
actual marching after leaving Tie Pass the
rear guard has fallen back seventy miles
and the heads of the columns are already
entering Gunshu Pass. forty miles further
north, keeping up with the Japanese COL
un,n marching north over the Grand Trade
route.
With the bridges and railroads destroyed
behind the Russians the Japanese are un-
able to press the rear and according to in
formation received from the front 1t is
believed that the bulk of Field Marshal
Oyamas army Is still at Tie Pass the
thanking column being comparatively weak
This news may. however, prove incorrect
Japanese Active Despite WEAKNESS.
For two days there has been some skir-
mishing, accompanied by artillery ex-
changes, between the Japanese on the
Grand Trade route and the Russians
screening the retreat showing that they
are ir constant contact.
With the crossing of the Sungari river at
Chantchiatu protected, many military men
here believe that General Linevitch, while
prepared to withdraw to Harbin will at
tempt to hold the line from Kuanchangtse
TO klrin so as to control the rich Sungai
valley as a source of supply for the army
A Japanese advance to Kirin would be
equivalent to the isolation of Vladivostok.
The war office points to the fact that

The Russian press commends General

Postponement of Court Decision in
French Cable Case Further Con-
firmed at Paris.

LONDON March 22.-At the office of the
council of foreign bondholders The Asso-
ciated Press was informed today that an
agreement between the Venezuelan govern
ment and the British and German bond
holders adjusting and consolidating the ex-
terror debt, SOS, 600, coo, will be signed TO-
morrow, the details having been concluded
to the satisfaction of both parties. 1t was
added that the guarantees comprise con-
siderably more than fifty per cent OF the
customs duties of all ports except La
Guaria and Porto Cabello, but the officials
refuse TO give the exact figure.
Surprise was expressed at the dispatches
from Washington intimating that the
American minister at Caracas, Mr.. Bowen,
was seeking to prevent the ratification of
the agreement which the council of foreign
bondholders contends is entirely in accord
with the Washington protocol. The British
and German foreign offices have been con-
suited, and agree that the bondnolders are
entirely within their rights and the pro-
visions of the protocol.
Scheme of Bondholders.
The council of foreign bondholders has
been working for a guaranteed payment
since the PRONUNCIATION of the protocol-first
on a scheme which provided for a settle
countries, but this plan was killed by the
withdrawal of the French last October.
Thereafter the British and German bond
holders united and secured President Cas-
tro's agreement to allocate a portion of
the revenues of La Guaira and Puerto Ca
bello, to which Minister Bowen objected
Since this Illustration in January the
bondholders have been at work on the pres
ent agreement, which provides for the issue
of new per cent. bonds to cover the debt
of the Anglo-German bondholders, amount
ing, including arrears, to about SOS, SOC, ,000
Gen. Antonio Veiutini, President Castros
fiscal agent, acted in behalf of Venezuela in
the present negotiations, while the council
of foreign bondholders and the disconto-
geseilschaft, respectively, represented the

CALIFORNIA WOMEN SUPERIOR

In a recent magazine article university professor
draws an interesting comparison between California
women and their sisters the eastern states From an
exhaustive investigation he the conclusion that
the women girls of this state physically superior
to those of other parts of the Union.
The information is. derived from statistics showing
the physical measurements of girl students at the Uni
versy of California compared with similar data gath
cred in eastern institutions is shown clearly as
claimed that "he California excel their eastern
sisters of the same age both in form strength in
no of the does the eastern girl excel
or even equal the western girls"
The investigator declares that "the California child
is not only taller but heavier and stronger than the
eastern child OF the age He says: "a study of
taken under my supervision shows that
the native-born California girls average better than
those attending the schools but born elsewhere
they show better than girls of the
age in the eastern part of the country"
These are interesting facts but they can hardly be
called surprising. The influence of environment on all
classes of animal life well understood by nauraists
The most favorable conditions produce the results
in the whole course of animate evolution.
The California child particularly a product Of the
southland "born to good luck" in the matter of
vronment 1t is not subject to attack from diseases in
cdont to intensely cold or ncement weather nor to
those resulting from excessively and humid tenn
perature nearly ideal climate throughout the year
natures foundation in Southern California for vigorous
constitution, healthy body and a sound mind
The southern part the state is quite in respect
to it's dominance of population from the east. AS the
years roll on showing increasing proportion Of
grandchildren and greatgrandchildren from eastern
stock the superiority of California women and girls will
become more distinctly marked than the university
professor now makes 1t appear
