So Reports St Petersburg Authorites-Bulk of Oyamas Army Believed tobe at Tie Pass-One Russian News. paper Says hanchurian Campaign Cost Russia One Billion Dollars.

St Petersburg, March ?, 1:55 p. !n. The retreat of the Russian army from the latest reports is evidently being conducted in splendid fash ion. 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 en- tering Gunshu pass forty miles fur ther north, keeping up with the Jap anese column marching north over the Grand Trade route. With the bridges and railroad destroyed behind the Russians the Japanese are unable to press the rear and according to in formation received from the front it is, believed that the bulk of Field Mar shal Oyama's army is still at Tie pass, the tianking column being cOmpara- lively weak. This news may, how ever, prove incorrect. Fok two days there has been some skirmishing ac- cOmpanied by artillery exchanges be- tween the Japanese on the Grand Trade route and the Russians screen ing the retreat, showing that they are in constant contact
 With the crossing of the Sungari river at Chantchiatu protected, many military men here believe that Gen eral Linevitch while preparing to withdraw to Harbin will attempt to hold the line from Kuanchangtse to Kirin so as to control the rich Sun gari valley as a source of supply for the army. A Japanese advance to Kirin would be equivalent to the iso- lation of Vladiyostok
 The war office points to the fact that Linevitch was able to give lis troops day of rest as being the best evidence that complete order has been restored and that the stories of de- mOraAzed flight are untrue.
 The Russian press comments Gen eral Kuropatkin highly for the fine spirit which he displayed in returning to the army in subordinate capacity, declaring that the defeated leader is more to be pitied than blamed.
 The advocates of continuance of the war are encouraged by the some what better outlook for the Manchur- ian army. the success of the internal loan and the announced departure of the squadron commanded by Vice Ad- miral ROjestvensky eastward.
 The Son of the Fatherland, which has again been revived at the expira- tiOn of it's three months suspension. inaugurated its re-appearance today with q plea for peace, declaring that the Manchurian adventure has cost O00OO.OOO-$25O.OO 100000 for the Chinese Eastern railroad. $25O.

| favor the election of senators
by popular vote in their respective
states.
The constitution provides two
methods for it's amendment. one
is when two-thirds of each house
of congress submits an amendment
to the people. A constitutional
amendment to require the popular
election of senators will never be
passed that way, for the simple
reason that the senate will never
concur. The only way that it can
be passed is by three-fourths of the
states acting in that way, in con-
vention called for that purpose.
Whether that will ever be done or
not the public is as good a judge
as I.
In my own part of the country,
senators are already substantially
elected by the people. Party pri-
maries are held and a majority is
required; If there is only a plur-

is held between the two highest
