WAR PARTY Is ACTIVE.
Making Effort to Dissuade Emperor
From, Concluding Peace.

ST Petersburg June 21.-The war
party has by no means surrendered.
On the contrary. backed by the mill
AIRY element. it is making a concerted
effort TO dissuade the emperor from
concluding peace. Even with the two
armies already clinching, members of
the war party are filling St Peters
burg and PeterhOf with optimistic
views, and Lieut.. Gen Linevitch and
his lieutenants are reinforcing their
arguments with roseate reports OF the
strategic situation. Many Russian
correspondents at the front, evidently
inspired from St Petersburg, are flood
ng their papers with dispatches in the
same strain.
Points Out Hazards.
The Novoe Nremya's correspondent
in his zeal against the conclusion of
humiiating peace, points to the haz-
ards of the government in disbandinS
an army Of half a million men without
giving them a taste of success, and
expresses the fear of dangerous con-
sequences. The same correspondent,
however. chonicles the fact that the
rank and file are Indifferent, and con-
cludes:
IF peace can be obtained without
the cession of Russian territory or
blood money, then peace by all
means"

II, telegraphed to the emperor as fol-

WALLACE MAY QUIT CANAL.
Chief Engineer Believed to Ee Coming
Home to Throw Up Job.

Washington. June 81. = There are
rumors of friction between Chief En-
gineer Wallace of the Panama canal
and those higher in authority. which
continue in the face of positive denials
from the officials interested.
'chere is considerable dissatisfaction
over the contract of dredging the har-
Dor of Colon. The bidders complain
that the specifications were faulty,
and that they were only allowed five
weeks in which to prepare their bids,
though they were required to submit
samples of borings in the harbor.
They protested that they We're not
given sufficient time, but they were
oVerruled. and the bids were opened
on the day set Although the bidders
were hurried the contract has not been
awarded. and it now is held up until
the arrival of Mr.. Wallace, who is
coming to Washington in hurry 1t
is asserted that he is coming of his
own volition to consult with Secretary
Taft on some important matters, but
some of the bidders believe he has
matters.
Wallace to Resign.
Colon, June 21.-It was publicly an.
nounced that John F. Wallace, chief
engineer of the canal zone. who sailed
for the United States on June 16 was
going home by order of Secretary Taft
for the purpose of consultation on
important matters prior to the sailing
of the secretary for the Philippines,
and that he was not likely to return to
the isthmus until his annual report
had been written and he had secured
a short rest, which he was unable to
take on his last trip owing to pressure
of business.
Since the departure OF Mr.. Wallace,
however, it has been said in influential
circles that he does not intend to return
to the isthmus to resume his position
of chief engineer, but that he has gone
home to confer with Secretary Taft
on the subject of his resignation.
Shortly before he sailed Mr. Wallace
was the recipient of memorial from
the heads of departments on behalf of
the canal employees, expressing deep
appreciation of the benefits resulting
from the new schedule of hours and
wages, and for the betterment in the
general welfare of all concerned with
the work on the canal.
The fact that Mr.. Wallace went
home accompanied by his wife and his
two secretaries seems in some quar-
ters to lend credence to the rumor
that he does not intend to return.

chance. and if he fails TO defeat Nelson
he must take a place in the rear ranks.
But COrbett is certain of winning.
He bases his judgment upon the fact
that when in a hopeless condition Mel

has learned from Hanlon and Britt
that Nelson has no knockout punch.
He also remembers that the Dane was

tighten the public as TO the aims and
wishes of the governor.
