RECORD OF NEW COMMANDER
Has Taken Part In Russian Wars
Since He was Twenty-one.

ST. PETERSBURG - Lieutenant
General Linevitch. the new command.
er of the Russian land and sea forces
in the far east, is in the siXty-siXth
year of his age. He was fighting in
the Caucasus when he was 81, took
part in the Russo-Turkish war of
1878, and has since then taken part
in all of Russia campaigns. Linevitch
was also prominent in the relief of
the legations at Picking. He is greatly
beloved by the soldiers because of his
constant solicitude for their welfare
At the battle of Mukden General
LinevitCh was reported, March 3, as
stubbornly holding his position and as
having repulsed thirteen consecutive
attacks of the Japanese, but in spite
of this he is said to have escaped with
slight losses, and March 13 he enter
ed the Russian lines south of Tie Pass
with his regiments in perfect order
The following day the Russian troops
apparently those commanded by Gen
eral Linevitch, repulsed an attack at
the Fan river, the Japanese leaving
1000 killed before the Russian posi-
ton.

KouRoPATklN OUT.
Commander Dismissed in Disgrace on
the Field.

ST. PETERSBURG. With the Jap
anese hanging on the heels and TANKS
of the remnants of the broken, defeat
ed Russian army, General Kouropat-
kin, the old idol of the private soldier,
has been dismissed and disgraced and
General Linevitch, commander of the
First army, Is appointed to succeed
him in command of all the Russian
land and sea forces operating against
Japan. The word disgrace is written in
large letters in the laconic imperial
order ga2etted. which contains not
single word of praise and also dis
poses of the rumor that Kouropatkin
had asked to be relieved. The Russian
imperial rebuke
Decided anxiety is felt regarding the
fate of the army in Manchuria under
its new commander No news of mill
tary developments during the last
three days have been received. The
only dispatches from the front are the
brief announcements yesterday that
General Iinevitch had assumed COM
mand and that Generol Kouropatkin
was departing for st. Petersburg, dis
posing of rumor that Kouropatkin
had committed suicide. and the Asso-
ciated Press Changtufu dispatch of
the morning of March 16, and written
at the station of Kaiyuan, which was
then held by the Russians. In this
correspondents opinion no pause in
the Japanese advance is probable for
some time The Russians were losing
heavily in the rear guard actions and
Japanese columns are reported to be
pushing northward, as fast as possible
to complete the development of the
Russian forces.
General Linevitch will have a con-
siderable accession of fresh troops in
a day or two, the Fourth European
corps being now at Hardin and depart

CARRIED ON CUT RATES.
Refers to Traffic Moving Through At
Iantic and Gulf Ports.

CHICAGO, Ill.-During the remain
der of this year all the import traffic
which moves through the Atlantic and
Gulf ports will be carried on cut rates.
This fact developed at the joint import
conference, which was held Friday
with representatives present from all
the trunk lines, the Central Freight
association lines and lines between
Chicago and the Missouri river and
between the gulf and the river.
When an attempt was made to re-
store an import rate it quickly de-
veloped that practically all of the i'm
ports of the country had been con-
tracted for at reduced rates, averag-
ing not more than so per cent Of the
regular rates. 1t was agreed that dur
ing 1906 nominal tariffs should be ad-
hered to. The question of differentials
between the gulf and the Atlantic
ports was discussed and committee
will be appointed to settle the matter.
For the present, however, there Is no
agreed differential.

SENATE ADJoURNs SINE DIE
Dominican Treaty is Left on Calendar
and Will Come Up Next Session.

WASHINGTON-The special SEES
sion of the senate was adjourned Sat
urday without delay. All of the nom
nations sent in were confirmed with
the exception of five. The most i'm
portant was that of Judge James
Wickersham to succeed himself as
judge of the district court in Alaska.
Several unimportant treaties were
ratified, but beyond these matters no
legislative business was transacted
Most of the session was devoted to
the Santo Domingo question and the
consideration of a treaty in which it
was proposed that the United States
should take over the control of the
financial affairs of the Dominican gov
eminent in order to pay it's debts.
There was practically no discussion
of the Dominican question in eXecu
tive session of the senate Before the
doors were closed an effort was made
to secure the adoption of a resolution
offered by Senator Teller requesting
the president to send to the senate the
correspondence leading up to the ne.
gotiation of the Dominican treaty.
Consideration of the resolution was in
terrupted by a motion made by Sena-
tor Cullom that the senate go into
executive session. The doors were
closed at 1903 p. m, and the senate
at once took up nominations and pro-
ceeded to confirm them. Practically
all the business of this character was
concluded before 2 p. m. and a com
mittee consisting of Senators Cullom
and McCreary was appointed to wait
on the president and inform him that
the senate was ready to adjourn. No
motion had been made to recommit
the treaty and it was allowed to re-
main on the calendar. 1t will be the
pending business in executive session
when the senate next meets, whether
it be in special or regular session.

FORCING THE ISSUE.
Trouble With Venezuela Coming to a
Head

HEAD.
WASHINGTON-F has official
ly informed the United States OF the
action of the Venezuelan government
against the French Cable company,
which she regards as high-handed and
unwarranted. While insisting that d-
plomatic means will be exhausted in
an effort to relieve the situation, it Is
declared that President Castro is
rapidly exhausting French patience
and thereby forcing France toward
the limit of diplomacy.
France has invited the attention of
the American government to the Ven
eZuelan situation because of It's inter-
est in all American affairs and in or!
der that it may obtain the probable
course which this government will
take against Venezuela. 1t is the wish
of the French government to aim
against parallel lines as far as prac-
ticable.
These developments in the Vene-
zuelan situation are regarded as the
preliminary step toward the relief of
the situation in Caracas which Europe
as well as the United States has for
some time regarded with dissatisfac-
ton.

which expert advice will be given up
on the subject by means of lectures

is that a good road insures the farm
ers contiguous to it the certainty of

ASKS ISSUANCE OF MANDATE.

for the Northern Securities company,
made application to the supreme court
for issuance of the mandate in the
case of f. H, Hartman and others
against the Northern Securities COM
pany in consequence of the decision
of the court in favor of the company.
He based it on the ground that until
the mandate should be issued $1,000
600 worth of property would be tied
up by the injunction of the New Jer-
sey court, and this was an injustice
to the public and the owners of the
property.
Maxwell Evarts, representing the
opposing side, objected to the motion.

ST. PETERSBURG-In view of the

war the appointment of students to
medical posts and allowing foreigners
10 Join the service.
General Linevitchs headquarters
has been established for the present
at Chenchiawatzu, situated at the
crossing of the Sungari river, whence
he is directing the retreat of the three
armies and disposing of the fresh
troops of the Fourth corps, just ar
irving from European Russia The
protection of the Sungari bridge is
vital to the salvation of the army, as
the river is not foTdaSle below Kirin,
and once the line of the river is pass
ed and the bridge blown up the Jap
anese pursuit will be effectually
checked. At the same time the second
army is falling back on the line of
the railroad, while the first and third,
with transport, are retreating along
the Mandarin road to Kirin, both de-
stroying bridges and roads and denud-
ing the country behind them and
making it impossible for the Jap
anese to live in the immediate wake
of the retreat without their own
Commissariat. The Japanese are
advancing over the Grand Trade
route, twenty miles west of the
railroad. However. they could prob
ably live on the country, the road,
Just before the opening of the naviga-
ton of the Lao river. being crowded
with Chinese provisions on the way
to market southwark.
Apparently it is a question as to
which army will outmarch the other,
although the general staff seriously
doubts the ability of Field Marshal
Oyama's fatigued soldiers, with the
difficulties of getting guns, ammuni-
ton and provisions over the ruined
roads, to continue the pursuit ener-
getically
No information is available regard
ing the strength of the Japanese col
umn advancing along the Grand Trade
route, but the war Office says it is
hardly large enough to constitute a
menace with the dispositions General
Linevitch is able to make of such
troops. Nevertheless, st. Petersburg
is in the dark as to the exact situa-
ton, and considering the resource
fulness Of the Japanese, there is con-
slant fear that they may manage to
get astride of the railroad and bar the
Russians retreat.
The Russian army in Manchuria is
still to have the services of General
KouropatlIin, who is considered by
many, in spite of his series of re-
verses, the best general and foremost
strategist of the Russian army. Sink
ing all feeling of personal bitterness
because of his suppression and all
the old time enmity between himself
and General Linevitch in a patriotic
desire to be of service to the father
land, the former commander-in-chief
volunteered to remain in any capacity
with the army which he had so long
commanded. The tender has been ac-
cepted by Emperor Nicholas and
gratefully received by the new leader
of the grand army.
