No further statement was made at
the White House today in connection
with the resignation of Justice Martin
II. Morris, of the District Court Of APP
peals, who will be succeeded by ex-Sen-
ator McConas. of Maryland.
Communications have passed between
the President and Judge Morris, and 1t
was announced that the judge had
yielded point. He is quoted as sayint5
that he did write to the President last
December stating that he would retire
IN twelve weeks or twelve months.
Twelve weeks have passed, but If
Judge Morris holds to the twelve-month
period he is not due to leave the bench
until the middle of next December. 1t
now remains to be seen whether he Will
step down in the near future or will
hang Senator McComass appointment up

Those opposed to Senator McComas in
innate that Judge Morris. who has ex-
pressed himself strongly as TO what he
considers the Maryiander's indecent

remain in office until December. while
others say he will retire on July /. when
Senator McGomaS will take his place.
At all events It may be positively stat
ed that Senator McConas is the man
who will take his seat on the appellate
bench when Judge Morris steps down.

LINEvITCH IS RETIRING
FALLING BACK TOWARD HAReIN
Russian Experts Have No Hope of Vic
tory-oyama's Successful
Strategy.

st. Petersburg, June 2S.-The mill
tary experts take anything but hope
full view of General Linevitch's situa.
tion. They do not believe he can be
surrounded, but apparently the ex-
perts do not consider the possibility
of a Russian victory.
Linevitch's retirement to Harbin and
the isolation of Vladivostok seem to be
regarded as foregone conclusions when
Field Marshal Oyama strikes.
According to the latest news from
the front, which is thirty-six hours old,
Oyama after forcing back the Russian
right and center transferred his weight
against the left, compelling the Rus
slams to give ground there also. The
military critics, however. agree that
the frontal movement is only a feint
for the development of one or both of
the Russian wings without which moth
ing in the shape Of decisive victory
is possible.
The impression is that Oyama, prof
iting by past experiences, is more
carefully preparing his turning opera
tions, but by the same token the Rus
sian staff declares Linevitch has taken
ample precautions to keep in touch
with fianking movements and that 1t is
not possible to take him by surprise.
Occasional heavy downpours of rain
continue at the front.
General Linevitch in dispatch to
the Emperor dated June 26th reports
outpost affairs on June oath, the Rus
SLAMS being driven in both south of the
railway and in the valley of the Tsinho.
In the region Of Hailungchen the
Japanese resumed the offensive June
22d and attacked and drove back the
Russian advance squadrons.
