Tsarskoe Sclo March S.-Generai
Lineyitch's report regarding the future
OF Russ in the Far East Is pessimis-
tic. Only per3 onal friends met the
general at St Petersburg and Tsarskoe
Selo on his return from Manchura,
but the Car, fearing military disaf,
fection and desiring to maintain the
friendship Of all the quarreling chiefs
received him well.
General Linevitch claims that the
Japanese forces in Manchuria are in
tact and liable to open hostilities at
any time They argue that many
breaches of faith on the part CT the
Russians invaidate the peace treaty
and give them the right to make
additional demands. The general says
the disaffection in the army is not
serious. but that the administration is
bad. He therefore advises that the
Siberian Railroad be turned over to a
private company. that the investisa-
ton directed against the military
chiefs be dropped, that he oidiers be
treated with liberality and that a
strong garrison be maintained in Man
churia.
The Car is said to have agreed with
the views expressed by General Line
witch. All the defeated generals will
be given lucrative positions. In the
Amur reg on the Cossack cyslem will
be introduced and land will be dis
tributed among the soldiers who re-
main in the military service. The i'm

Washington, March S.-Today af-

pied by three senators, Beveridge sup.

them out OF the Union as one state.
He took positive ground against the

territory to vote separately on the

posed the joining of even Oklahoma

Board of improvements Orders All Low Streets

Adopted

AT its meeting yesterday afternoon
In the office Of Attorneys Lansden &
Leek, Cairo's Board Of Local Improve
ments resolved upon one of the great
est propositions that has been before
the people of Cairo since the days
when Thomas w. Halliday, a. mayor
Of Cairo, urged that the entire lower
part Of Cairo be raised TO the grade Of
Ohio street That proposition was be-
fore the people for months and met
with much favor from property owners
who were anxious TO rescue the city
from the disastrous effects Of flood
scares which were too frequent In
those years-befcre we had our pres
ent impregnable and nsurmountabIe

ing and welfare and MUST BE CAR

body. Is to move in sympathy and keep
pace with the spirit of private enter
prise which has made suca wonderful
strides during the last year or two
and which is now engaged in projects
that demand the most generous recog
milton from those in authority. The
Board OF Local improvements has
risen to the urgent needs OF the ST
uation as forced upon them at every
hand, and 1t has a right to expect the
hearty cooperation of all who wish

gesled in the demand for THE

But. great as this proposition Is in

form of a resolution thai every un-
filled street in the plated portions OF
the city be severed and filled to grade.
This will affect many blocks, on the
west side and in the north part OF the
city. and nearly all of which are
partly improved. The purpose of the
board Is, evidently, to provide com
plate system of drainage while the
drainage problem is being solved, one
that will serve the whole city for all
time. and also to abolish the unsightly
and unsanitary bottoms which serve
as basins for sewage in high water.
