 TIE constitution of the United States defining the duties of the president in paragraph 2, section of article 2 says:
 ''He shall have power, by and with the consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall ap- point ambassadors, other public minis ters and consuls, judges of the Supreme court. and all other officers of the Uni ted States whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be- established by law; but the Congress may by law vest the ap- pointment of such inferior officers as they think proper, in the president alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.
 Paragraph 3.-t'The president shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate by granting commits sions, which shall expire at the end of their next session.
 Judge Wickersham's s regular term of office expired June 6, 1904. No action was taken in the matter untill Nov. IS, when he was reappointed by the presi- dent, and when congress convened on Dec. 5 the appointment was held up by the Senate committee. The Senate at that session failing to confirm Wicker sham's appointment, thereby caused vacancy in the office, and the president gave him 9 recess appointment. Upon congress reconvening after the holidays the confirmation of this recess appoint ment went by default, and in accord ance with the constitution, the recess commission expired at the end of that session, and the office again became vacant.

WILL BATTLE WITH TOGO
Two Russian Fleets viii Proceed
to Meet Japanese Squadron.
PROGRESS TOWARD PEACE
Confirmed That Emperor William OF
Germany Has rendered His Good
Offices.

At the Russian admiralty it is
strongly fntimated that Admiral
Rojestvensly will effect a juncture
with Admiral Nebogatoff within 10
days and then proceed to meet Ad.
miral Togo. The third division Of
the Russian second Pacific squadron,
commanded by Rear Admiral Nebo-
gatoff. left Suda bay, Island of Crete,
yesterday for Port Said.
The retreat of the Russian army is
being conducted in a splendid fashion.
In four days actual marching after
leaving Tie pass the rear guard has
fallen back 20 miles and the heads of
the columns are already entering
Gunshu pass, 40 miles further north,
keeping up with the Japanese column
marching north over the Grand Trade
route.
With the bridges and railroad de-
stroyed behind the Russians the Jap
anese are unable to press the rear.
1t is believed that the bulk of Field
Marshal Oyamas enemy is still at Tie
pass, the thanking column being COM
paratively weak.
For two days there has been some
skirmishing, accompanied by artillery
exchanges between the Japanese on
the Grand Trade route and the Rus
SLAMS screening the retreat. With
the crossing of the Sungari river at
Chantichiatu protected many mill
tary men here believe that Gen. Line
witch, while prepared to withdraw to
Harbin, will attempt to hold the line
from Kuanchangtse to Kirin, so as to
control the rich Sungari valley as a
source of supply for the army.
Progress Toward Peace.
The party within the government
which is urging the Emperor to indi-
cate to Japan Russia's willingness to
end the war if a reasonable basis
can be reached has been greatly en-
couraged the last few days, and an
actual pacific proposal may be just
ahead. The subject has occupied
much of the attention of the cCnfer-
ences at Tasrskoe Selo. Certain
grand dukes, supported by Gen.
Sakharoff, the minister of war, Ad-
miral -Avellan, the head of the ad-
miralty and what is known as the war
party are still bitterly opposed to
the idea of peace under present cir
cumstances, but with the exception of
the ministers of war and marine the
Emperor's ministers, backed by M.
Witte, solidly favor this course, and
the convincing arguments they offer
are telling. French influences in
the same direction are now being
supported by German opinion. The
rumor that Emperor William had
rendered his good offices now seems
to be confirmed.

Congregational ministers represent
ing Boston and various sections of
New England have forwarded to the
American board of commissioners for
foreign missions protest against the
acceptance by the board of a gift of

The protest is based on the ground
that the Standard Oil Company, of

Stands before the public under re-

ments in specific terms for methods
which are morally iniquitous and So

DECLINES TO ARB|TRATE
Castro Says Venezuela and U. s.
Have no Pending Questions.
STATE DEPARTMENT INFORMED
Saws Case of New York and Burnudez
Asphalt Co. Must Remain in
Courts.

Minister Bowen cabled the State
Department on the l4th from Caracas
that President Castro has fatty re-
fused to arbitrate the pending issues
between Venezuela and the United
States. Minister Bowen further stat
ed that President Castro had de-
clared that the disputed asphalt cases
must be adjudicated by the Venezue-
Ian courts.
Minister Bowen's telegram formed
the principal topic of discussion at
Fridays meeting of the cabinet That
the situation is not regarded as acute
at this time was indicated clearly by
the determination of the President
and his advisers to pay no present
heed to Castro's refusal to arbitrate.
1t is the indicated intention of the
President and Secretary Taft, who,
in the absence of Secretary Hay, is
being relied upon for advice in mat
ters pertaining to foreign affairs,
simply to await further develop
ments in Venezuela. It Is not be-
lieved that the situation now is of
such character as to warrant alarm.
Indeed, the President is proceeding
with the arrangements fer his south
western trip without reference to the
Venezuelan dispute.
The New York Tribune" says: In
answer to a request for statement
on the present Venezuelan troubles
the Tribune" received the following
signed cable dispatch from President
Castro: Il do not believe there will
be any trouble, and if there should
be any Venezuela would win, because
she never drifts away from the right,
reason and justice, which are the
strength of weak nations"
The World" prints this dispatch
from President Castro:
There is in reality between Vene-
zuela and Washington no question of
sufficient Importance to occupy pub
lie attention or worthy of considera-
tion by serious persons. Your minis
ter holds himself aloof from the good
understanding which exists, but Ven
ezuela will defend with ardor the
common interests and honor of both
countries"

lures are more than offset by the re-
sumption of outdoor work, especially
in building operations and on the

and $175,25S in imports, as compared
with 1904. Holders and makers of
iron and steel products appear to have
secured control of the situation. 1t is
no longer considered desirable to de-
lay the placing of contracts in ex-
pectation of better terms. Although
boom conditions have been avoided
thus far and comparatively steady
quotations prevail, it is possible that
in some departments of the industry
urgent orders may soon go abroad.
Two special features have developed

ADMITS SHE OWES s75o,ooo
Mrs. Chadwick Tells About Some Of
Her Creditors.

In the bankruptcy court at Cleve-
land, Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick detailed
some of her financial transactions, in
the course Of an examination by At
torney Louis j. Grossman, acting for
Referee Nathan Loeser
Mrs. Chadwick said she did not care
to state how much she owed James
w. Friend of Pittsburg, but after sew
eral other questions had been asked
and answered, she said that the actual
sum she had received from Mr.. Friend
was $75,000 For this she said she
gave him notes for s15O,0OO. She said
that Mr.. Friend had assisted her in
making other loans to the amount of
$150,000. For this she gave jewelry
as security, which was later appraised
at $4,000. OF the loans for S150,000
she said she received the entire sum.
Mrs. Chadwick said S225,000 is the
total of her indebtedness in Pittsburg.
Mrs. Chadwick said that she was not
able to give as many details of her
transactions as she would like to, be-
cause of the absence of papers which
were held in number of cities She
had sent for the papers, Gld expected
to have them when the hearing is
continued next Thursday. Mrs. Chad
wick testified that her total indebted
ness would not exceed S750,000. OF
this sum, borrowed from various per.
sons. she had received only $4,000,
leaving S2GS, 900 for commissions to the
money lenders.
She said she owed certain banks in
Cleveland 100000. The names of
these institutions she was willing to
give to Mr.. Loeser, trustee for the
creditors privately.

Gar Urged to End the Conflict in
Manchuria.

While Emperor Nicholas still de-
clines to abandon the prosecution of
the war and the government maintains
its ability TO continue the conflict,
nevertheless powerful influences, in
Guiding several of the Emperor's own
ministers, are strongly urging that the
time has come to indicate to Japan
Russia's desire for peace upon a
reasonable basis. Should Japan then
attempt to impose too onerous condi-
tions, these influences argue that in
view of the universal wish to see the
bloody conflict ended Russia's posi-.
tion will be strengthened abroad by
the alienation of sympathy from
Japan and the situation at home i'm
proved when the nation is made to
understand that the Emperor's pa
