ONE SW0OP WILL
END CANAL BOARD
President Will Demand the Res
ignation of Every Member
Wallace to Be Chief.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, March 2O.-The reor-
ganization of the isthmian canal com
mission, which was delayed until after
the senate adjourned, to prevent any
interference with the president 8 plans,
certainly will be enacted before Mr..
Roosevelt leaves for the south, April
8, and the shake-up will probably come
within week.
The president is determined to make
short work of the whole business, to
prove that he is in earnest, and he will
call for all Of the designations in a
body. He is not inclined to apply any
salve to the feelings Of the commission
ers, with whom, as a body, he is thor
oily disgusted.
AS matters now stand, it is said to
be Mr.. Roosevelt g plan to make clean
sweep, removing all Of the present COM
missioners and appointing an entirely
new board of three members, leaving
the four other places vacant. The new
commissioners will not be fgureheads,
however. They will have plenty of
important work to do and will be given
much responsibility, but their authority
will be restricted within clearly defined
limits and they will be subordinate to
Mr.. Wallace.

Jews are reported to have killed the

sistants.
st. Petersburg, March 20.-The peas
ant disorders are growing rapidly in
the Black Soil belt and other districts
Of southern Russia. Provincial journals
bring alarming reports, showing that
an actual reign OF terror already exists
In some districts.
Not only are estates plundered and
buildings burned but landlords are
brutality murdered, In some places
bands Of armed mtsujiks have taken to
the forests and actual battles have &C.
Cured between them and the estate
guardians.
Millions of copies of two documents,
entitled EEThe Golden Scroll, - and "Di-
vision of Lands,' have been circulated
by agitators. Both tell the peasants
that the emperor has decreed a division
Of land. The provincial newspapers
are urgently demanding that the gov
eminent take energetic measures to
check the movement before it is too
late.
Commissioners, the bureaucracy is
warned, will not do. If disorders are
allowed to 90 much further it will only
be possible to stop them by great blood
shed.
