Shonts at Sycamore.

1t was learned here tonight that Theodore
P. Shonts, chairman of the isthmus canal
commission, and John F. Steven, who sue
ceeded John Finlay Wallace as chief engi-
neer of the canal. will visit President
Roosevelt on Monday.
Until Mr. Roosevelt has had an oppor-
tunity to confer with Chairman Shonts and
Mr. Stevens. nothing will be done in the in
tended transfer of the canal zone admins
tration from the War Department to the
State Department which the President has
had under consideration for some time.
The change was suggested by Secretary OF
War Taft largely to obviate the necessity
on the part of Charles E. Magoon in his
dual capacity as governor OF the canal strip
and United States minister to Panama. to
report to and receive his orders from two
separate departments.

President will be made. Ordinarily the am
bassador would not be presented until the
President returned to Washington In the
fall. but the situation In the far east.
coupled with the fact that Baron Rosen Is
one OF the Russian peace plenipotentiaries,
makes 1t desirable that he should present
his credentials at once.
After the formal exchanges have taken
place the President and Mrs. Roosevelt
will entertain Baron Rosen at luncheon.
Later Baron Rosen and Secretary Adee will
return to New York on the Sylph and go
direct from there to Washington.

The landing of the Japanege on Sakhalin
Island and It's probable effect on the peace
negotiations is the absorbing topic Of con-
versation in all circles. the surrender of the
kniaz Potemkine having taken secondary
place.
This move is generally recognized as an
indication that japan intends to demand
the cession of the island as one Of the con-
ditlons of peace. but this Is no longer an
insuperable obstacle in the way of ter
mination of the war.
The Japanese feet covering the landing
of troops on the Island of Sakhalin con-
sisted of two battleships, seven cruisers.
three gunboats, thirty-six torpedo boats
and ten transports loaded with troops. The
Japanese landed at the village of Meree,
between Shepivan and Korsakovsk. The
commander of the Russian detachment of
troops at korsakovsk ordered the coast de-
Tense guns to be blown up and all the gov
