ARE PICKING UP.
Commissioner Reed Say! Conditions in Panama
 Are Improving.

New York. Mar 2-Dr Charles A. L. Reed of Cincinnati, member of the joint commission appointed by the United States and the Republic of Panama to adjust property values in dispute between the two countries and who has just returned from the isthmus says that, in his opinion, the sanitary conditions in Panama are be- ing improved as rapidly as could be expected under the circumSta nceS. There has been more or less delay in some direction but this, the doctor believes, is due to non-arrival of neces- sary construction material which has been ordered in the United States.
 While there has been considerable yellow fever on the isthmus, Dr Reed said that the health authorities ap- parently had the situation well in hand when he sailed from Colon a week ago
 There have been just thirty-six cases of yellow fever in Panama, with twelve deaths, since the twelfth of last July when the first case was reported" |" said Dr Reed. "Colon is not infected or at least not when I left there. Sen sational reports of the widespread prevalence of the disease are due chiefly to the fact that every case of fever that is sent to Ancon. where all fever cases are sent, is at once SUD- posed to be yellow fever. As a mat ter of fact all such cases, unless so fully developed that diagnosis is un- mistakable, are held as suspects until all doubt is cleared up. In this way seventy or eighty suspected cases have been proven not to be yellow fever at all, but no account is taken of this fact and all are charged up to yellow fever. l lived two weeks at Ancon hospital attended autopsies on those who had died of yellow fever and was in close touch with the yellow fever board. This body consists of Colonel Gorgas, Mayor LeGarde, Captain Lyster and Dr Carter. the strongest aggregation Of yellow fever experts in the world. They meet daily in consul. tat'on over suspected cases and their verdict which is arrived at only after every scientific resource is exhausted is authoritative.
 "Everything that intelligence and energy can do with the limited facili. ties available is being done to stamn out the disease. The water works and sewage system that ought to have been in place last December are not vet installed simply because of diln toriness in getting pine to the isthmns The first cargo was being discharged when l left. This delay makes 1t i'm possible to suppress wa'er barrels and other disease breeding centers. This city is. however. heinz very thoroughly fumignted. the streets are being ken, clean and garbage is being disposed of by our sanitary officers"

SITUATION BECOMING
 STILL MORE CRITICAL.
St. Petersburg Workmen Are Again Making Bold ne- mands-Ceneral Stoessel Lunched With Emperor Nicholas To.Day-Nicholas Expresses Gratitude 10 People for Their Loyalty.

St Petersburg, Mar 2-The position of General Kuropatkin's army is re- garded as being more or less critical. The real turning movement ewhich General 'Kuroki is operating in the mountains forty miles east of Mukden seems to be making progress and at the same time Field Marshal Oyama is also rolling back the Russian left, while pounding away at the Russian center with heavy high power guns. Poutiloff and Novtorod Hills are be- ing subjected to continuous three days bombardment followed by an in- fantry attack. Because of this the Russian lines were forced to retire two miles to their sheltered trenches.
 While the Japanese are evidently making progress there is nothing yet to indicate that Field Marshal Oyama will succeed in inflicting a decisive blow, even if he forces Kuropatkin to abandon Mukden. According to un- official renorts the withdrawal of sup plies northward from Mukden is al ready well under way. Except for the moral effect of another retirement. the war office officials declare that the abandonment of the present winter quarters. eliminates great danger to the health of the army as soon as the warm weather sets in.

Hundreds of People An. swered An Advertisement Fought Among Them. selve s to Obtain Work.

New York, March "A newspaper advertisement offering days work to fifty snow shovelers brought such crowd of applicants to point in Fifth street early to-day that the police re- serves were called out to quell an in- cipient riot which attended the scram- ble for work checks. More than three hundred men who had come in re- sponse to the advertisement were standing about the place soon after daylight when the man with fifty checks, each of which entitled the holder to a days work, appeared on the scene. The sight of the checks was the signal for rush III which ev- cry one of the three hundred joined. Men were tossed right and left in the scramble to reach the holder of the checks and within minute the last one of the bits of pasteboard had benn given out. This did not stop the trouble, however, and when the police reserves, who had been summoned at the first rush, appeared. more than a score of individual couples were fight ing hand to hand for the right to shov- el snow all day for g.

St Petersburg, March 2.-The strike situation throughout Russia has been renGered distinctly more critical by the hold demands of the St Petersburg workmen yesterday. confronting the government again with the necessity of yielding everything in the face of a threat or of seeing all hope of per marent settlement of the strike here aud elsewhere through like agencies dashed to the ground. But the worst feature of the situation is that the au. thorities are now convinced that the leaders of the workmen in pursuance O, deep political plan are managed by a shrewd hidden agency which is deliberately trying to prevent settle ment. The authorities seem to be. at their wits ends and in the meantime r,,moJs are again afloat that the action of yesterday was preliminary to big demonstration on Saturday and there are similar reports of projected Gem oDstration of workmen of Moscow to signalize the emancipation anniversary. The police apparently do not know what to expect, but their general fear of the outcome is based on the discov- cry at Moscow and Wirballen, Russian Poland, Ct quantities of bombs. many boxes of which have been smuggled irto Russia. and it is reported that the demonstration may be backed by the use. of bombs against the troops.
 The strike movement has suddenly assumed active form in the Ekaterin- oslnv aid Don Cossack governments.
 All the miners of the Donetskiy coal Tines, numbering over 100000, threat en to walk out on Monday.
