Two Army Engineers
Upon the Commission

The fact that two army engineers have
been added to the list of the commits
sion is regarded as victory for this
corps. The law only requires that the
army shall be represented by one engi-
neer and the navy likewise. Gen. Peter
G. Hains and Col Oswald H. Ernst both
represent the regular establishment. Col
oneI Ernst is now stationed in Chicago.
Both he and General Hams were on the
Isthmian Canal Commission of 1899,
which made a special report as to the
choice of the Nicaragua and Panama
routes
The detail of Admiral Endicott to the
commission will not remove him from
duty in Washington as chief of the Bu-
reau of Yards and Docks. Admiral
Endicott has a long record for engi-
neering work of the highest character
i'll the navy. He was president of the
Endieott board. which outlined a plan
of fortification and defense for the en-
tire coast of the United States.
Colonel Ernst is member of the
tif1cations in the northwestern division.
He is also president of the Mississippi
river commission.
All the members of the new Isthmian
Canal Commission, except Chief Engi-
neer Wallace and Col. Oswald II. Ernst
were present in the Secretary of Wars

Office Mr.. Wallace is on his way from

THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Mr.. Taft's Suggestions.
On March 80 Secretary Taft wrote
President Roosevelt letter, making
procedure to be followed. He dwelt
upon the fact that in the light of late
engineering developments it might be
found advisable to change from lock
canal to sea-leve1 canal, and to in
crease the cost at least S10O 000, 900 over
The 500, 900, 600 provided for by Congress.
The Secretary suggested practically all
the changes made by the President in
his Instructions to the new commission
ers, the most important, perhaps, being
the transfer of the headquarters from
Washington TO the isthmus.
mo meeting of the commission or
executive committee" said the Secre-
tary. should be held out Of the isthmus,
except by express authority of the Sec
retary of War. The attention of all en-
gagged in the enterprise viii thus be
fixed on the work"

France and England
Working for Peace

BIRMINGHAM. England. April 3-The
Post insists. despite the deniais that
have been printed. that the negotiations
for the peace preiiminarieS have been
proceeding genuinely within the past
few days.
The paper declares that the British
and French governments have been act
ing upon the knowledge that these nego-
tiations were in progress and they have
been conducted with the full knowledge
and explicitly given consent of both
Russia and Japan.
No Direct Communication.
Neither Russia or Japan so far has
sent any direct communication to the
other. What has happened has been at
the joint request of Britain and France.
with the friendly support of America.
Both Japan and Russia supplied their
diplomatic representatives at London
and Paris with statements of the peace
terms each y prepared to consider.
Britain and France are now engaged
IN trying to reconcile these statements
SO as to frame some kind of a proposal
that will prove acceptable to both bel
iigerents as the basis for the preliminary
negotiations.
Peace Outlook Darker.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 3.-The
statements concerning the prospect of
peace sent from St. Petersburg should
be regarded with the utmost suspicion
The truth is Russia has the fullest con-
fidence In the ability of Vice Admiral
Rogestvensky to infiict defeat upon the
enemy, thus completely turning the tide
of events.
Prince and Princess Henry of Prussia
are expected at Tsarskoe Selo.
The best-informed circles are less optf-
mfstic regarding the chances of peace.
1t Is feared that the tentative pro-
posals have not obtained a favorable
hearing, and it must be admitted that
the idea of mediation finds scant sup
port in the Russian press.
The Novoe Vremya and the Bourse
Gazette declare that mediator is SUI

Wants America to Help.
The Novoe Vrenya bIuntIy remarks
that 1t would be more to the point If
Washington offered help TO Russia in
stead of mediation. but the belief in
the reality Of peace overtures Is per-
s1stent in spite Of official denials. The
Novoe Vrenya frankly admits this be-
lief, attrihuting to it the remarkable rise
In Russian fours Saturday, when the
peace talk on the bourse assumed con-
crete form, including the discussion of

These terms included the surrender
