The peace prospect, although recent ly considered bright, now seems to have disappeared. Officers say this is due mainly to Japan's insistence that Russia shall sue for peace. whereas Russia's pride prevents her from talk ing the initiative. Therefore it is be- lieved that the war will be indefinitely prolonged, with the prospect of a steady series of Japanese successes above Mukden. Japan's approach to Siberia is regarded as one of the mo- mentous epochs of the war and as marking the first Japanese possession of Asiatic territory hitherto held by a European power The effect of Japan's advance to Harbin will be to control the trans-Siberian railroad and the en- tire sweep of Eastern Siberia. includ- ing Vladivostok. It is said that this possession of Russian territory mas prove an important factor in support of Japan's claim for a money indem- nifty.

Washington, March -(Special.)- )-- If reports here are true. backed by communications from Mississippi. Uni ted States Marshal Edgar s. Wilson. the Federal referee, will have to an swer some serious charges shortly already in the hands of the adminis- tratlon.
 The trouble appears to have arisen from the alleged betrayal by Wilson of Walter Collins, who had been one of his deputies and who aspired to be postmaster at the growing South Mis- sissippi town of Hattiesburg. Collins was turned down on Wilson's recom- mendation of one Pitts, who Is ap- pointed postmaster at Hattiesburg. Collins has through his familiarity with the affairs of Wilson, as one of his deputy marshals, charged miscon- duct, notorious nepotism involving mis- representation to the administration in his capacity as Federal referee. The charges are said to be in the hands of Secretary Loeb at the executive of- flee.

In a speech at Magazine last
week Attorney General r. H.
Rogers touched upon the COM
promise of the railway tax cases
last winter, whereby there was
due the state S586,000 and the
board accepted 60 cents on the
dollar. The attorney general
was opposed to the compromise,
and believes the fee of $50, 900,
received by Senator Clark from
the railroads as special counsel
for the State Assessment Board f,
should have gone into the state
treasury. He said that the sher-
iff did not come around to indi-
vidual taxpayers, after the taxes
are assessed, and say to them
that at the suggestion of the as
SCISSOR he had decided to COM
promise with them for 90 cents
on the dollar. 1t is a matter of
interest to know that Governor
Davis helped assess the railroad
property, and boasts OF the raise
he gave it, and was then an ad-
vocate of the compromise.
