4 BOLD WAY OUT.
Suggestion That Might Lend to seftle-
 ment of Russia's Trouble.


 St. Petersburg, March 15-12:30 a. m. "A bold way out of the perplexities of the present situation has been sug- gested, namely, that Emperor Nicholas travel in state to the anciept capital of Moscow, summon the nobles and leading members of the zemstvos around him in the sacred precincts of the Kremlin, frankly lay the situation before them, publicly pledge his word for the execution of the propected re- forms and make a stirring personal ap. peal through them to the people to loy- ally rally to the support of the Russian arms and cooperate in prosecuting the war to successful termination
 Such a personal appeal from the sov- ereign undoubtedly would have a pow erful effect throughout the country, and for the dynasty would have an ad- vantage over the plan of submitting the question of peace or war to the zemsky sobor, which some of the news papers are again urging.
 Criticism on the conduct of the war which has been appearing in the news papers has been aggravated by General Kuropatkin's defeat, and is now the most outspoken character. The Russ fromally abandons all hope for the suc- cess of the war under the present re- gime, sarcastically pointing out that the administration, in it's desire to pro- vide Vladivostok with cial, is supplying the Japanese fleet.

ANNUAL ATHLETIC MEET
Yale Men Win at Madison Square
 Garden.

New York, March 1.-The annual athletic meet of the New York Athletic club was held at Madison Square Gar den tonight, the feature being inter collegiate relay races. Yale won the two mile relay race from Cornell. In the first relay Rogers of Cornell beat Arm strong of Yale two yards, but Pope lost thirty yards in the second relay and Yale held the race safe thereafter. In the third relay Yale increased her lead by thirty yards. The final lap found Munson .of Cornell and Parsons of Yale, the intercollegiate champion, op- posed. The upstate man made gall lant effort, but was able to reduce Yale's lead but a trifie, the latter win ming by sixty yards. Time, S:05 Is.
 There were only two colleges enter ed in the one mile local intercollegiate relay race. New York university won.
 In the sixty yard handicap inches separated the several men who started in the final heat. It was won by J. J. Danaher of the Xavier Athletic club, with L. R. Robinson of Yale second.
 Yale and columbia met in the one mile relay race and it turned out to be an easy victory for the New Haven men by twenty yards. % s5A s,s@ ;.

 Tie Pass. March 14.As after the bat tie of Liaoyang, the advance of the
 Japanese army against the new posi-
 tions of the Russians at Tie Pass is very slow. The leading columns are eight or ten miles southward and in touch with the Russian van posts, but
 the operations at present are not seri-
 ous. Field Marshal Oyana shows slight intention of pressing his advantage in
 an immediate attack on Tie Pass. It Is possible, however, that a wide turning
 movement, of which reports are cur
 rent, is in progress. nIn such operations the Japanese have the immense advan- tage of several bases and lines of sup
 ply, to which is now added the Sinmin- tin road, while the Russian army nec-
 essarily is dependent on one base and one line of communications, and there- fore may be easily outflanked.
 In the grand army order is being
 brought out of chaos with remarkable celerity. The plain in front of Tie
 Pass, which on March Il seethed like a ! nest of ants with the dense and con- fused mass of transports, artillery and i troops, corps, divisions and regiments being scattered and parties inextrica- bly, mingled, has been cleared, the reg inents reorganized, stragglers sent to l their respective commands, organiza- tions taking their assigned positions, and to-day the same soldiers who on March 10 became a stricken,
 surginga disorganized mass of gray at a few shots from a little detachment of Japanese, or who even fled in panic, firing indiscriminately in all directions, as they ran, at the mere baseless cry

 new courage, ready to oppose with stubborn resistance an attack on Tie Pass. S53 AF
 It is unfair to accuse the entire army
 of this panic. General Linevitch enter ed Tie Pass with his regiments in per- feet order, with music playing and the
 men singing, and scarcely a straggler
 was lost in the long, difficult march. Other organizations made equally ! praiseWorthy retreats, and especially ! the rearguards of all the armies, who 1 performed their difficult task steadily and resolutely. There is much to be 1 said also in excuse for the panic- 1 (Continued on Eighth Page.)

ooMpELs MUTUAL PLAN.
Law Affecting Insurance Companies
 Passed in Wisconsin.


 Madison, Wis, March 14.-A bill to compel every life insurance company doing business in Wisconsin to adopt the mutual plan passed the assembly to-day and will now go to the senate. The bill will apply to companies doing business in the state as well as Wis consin companies. The bill says:
 Tt shall be the duty of every officer of the life insurance companies organ ized with capital stock, when such a company shall have secured $20,000,000 insurance in force, to set aside annual ly not less than ten per cent. of the surplus earnings of the year and apply the same to redeem the capital stock of the company at it's par value; every such company shall, when all the stock has been so redeemed, transact its bus mess on the mutual plan; for failure to comply with the provisions of this sec ton a commissioner of insurance shall refuse license to transact business in this state.''
 The bill will in no way affect existing policies, but all new business must be done according to the mutual plan.

MRS. STANFORD NOT POISONED,
President Jordan, of Stanford Uniyer-
 sity, Holds This opinion.

Honolulu, March 14.-President David Starr Jordan, of Stanford university, has emphatically expressed the opinion that Mrs. Stanford's death was not due to strychnine poisoning. He says that when he became familiar with her symptoms he reached that conclusion. He is a doctor of medicine and says that since he has learned that the amount of strychnine taken by Mrs. Stanford was not beyond a medical dose he is more sure than ever that she was not poisoned. pr. Jordan has been assisting the detectives, to the extent of suggesting questions as a physician, during their inquiries regarding her symptoms and the results of the au- topsy.
 The territorial senate to-day decided to adjourn at 2 o'clock tomorrow, and the senators will attend the funeral of Mrs. Stanford in body. The house did not vote to adjourn.

Men Who Engineered Subway Strike
 Said to Have Got "Rake off.s
 Washington, March 14. Changes have been filed with Samuel P. Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, which are said to reflect on ed with the subway and elevated rail- road strike in New York. MT. Com pers said the charges wotld be inves- tigated. It is said that the charges contain allegations that the strike was engineered for the sole purpose of be- ing broken. The officials of the union; it is declared, received or expected to receive large reward for bringing about the strike.
 The suggestion is made that Mi. Gompers may visit New York in quest of evidence bearing on the charges, al- though as the union is no longer af- filiated with the Federation of Labor, the value of any conclusion he may reach is questionable.

REVOLT BY FRENCH BANKERS.
Their Probable Refusal to Float An- other Russian Loan.


 other Russian Loan.
 London, March 14-The revolt of the French bankers against the proposed Russian loan is considered by the Lon don newspapers as the most hopeful and important news of the day, prom ising an early conclusion of peace be- tween Russia and Japan. Apparently the proposed loan has not been abso- 8lutely refused, but only postponed" This, however, is regarded here as be- ing tantamount to refusal, and is ex- pected to speak louder to the Russian war party even than General Kuro- patkin's reverse at Mukden. It is the general belief that by the death of M. Germain, late governor of the Credit Iionaise, Russia lost her strongest fi- nancial friend in France and that had he been alive no difficulty would have been experienced. With the American and English markets closed to her, it is thought that Russia can only turn to Germany, who is not likely to be much more responsive than France, and the only alternative would seem to be to make peace.
 Reports are current here that Japan will now demand an indemnity of bS- tween $50O,Ooo,oOo and S75o,o0O, ,OOQ
