SITUATION IS CRITICAL
RUSSIANS BELIEVE WAR IN
BALKANS IS IMMINENT.
Hostlllties Between Servla and Aus
tria are Expected Within a
Very Short Time.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 25. - The
pessimism with regard to the Balkan
crisis is steadily deepening in dip
lomatlc circles, where It is believed
that Austrian action against Servia
may be expected within fortnight un'
less solution to the present grave
problem is soon arranged. Foreign
office officials state that Russia Is not
disposed to consider an invasion OF
Servia alone as a casus belli, but there
is fear that the governments hands
may be forced under such circumstan'
ces by popular feeling. The beginning
of hostilties would throw thousands
of Russian volunteers into the Servian
ranks
Berlin, Feb. 25.-There is no reason
to believe that an outbreak of war be.
tween Austria and Servia Is imminent,
according to the view held in semi-of.
fetal circles. The alarmist reports are
regarded as being much exaggerated
It is admitted, however, that the situa
tion is not clear and will remain
clouded until those powers which, like
France, are striving to maintain peace
make their voices heard at st. Peters
burg and induce Russia TO notify Bel
grade that in the event of war Servid
cannot rely upon either direct or IN
direct Russian support

MACVEAGH HAS BEEN CHOSEN
Chicago Business Man ls Selected by
Judge Taft to be Secretary Of
the Treasury.

New York Feb. 25.-President-elec
Taft yesterday completed his cabinet
by the offer of the treasury portfolio
and its acceptance. That the offer
was made to and accepted by Franklin
MacVeagh of Chicago is as near
positive statement of what is believed
to be the fact as may be made in the
face of an absolute refusal by Mr..
Taft to throw any light on the most
interesting situation.
1t is vaguely hinted that there are
things to be accomplished in Washing
ton before an announcement may be
properly made. Mr.. Taft, however,
justihes his silence on the ground that
he some time ago declared that he
would give out no information regard
ing the makeup of his cabinet until he
was ready to announce 1t in its en-
tirety

Senate judiciary Committee Modifies
Its Statement as TO Tennessee
Coal & Iron Merger.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The senate
committee on judiciary adjourned yes.
to-day without action on the sub-com
mittee's report holding that the presi.

Co. with the United States Steel Cor.
poration. The committee agreed to
take a vote next Monday.
Az the suggestion OF Mr.. overman
the report was modified to the extent
that the assertion that the merger was
Ia violation Of the Sherman law was
changed to a declaration that the deal
appears to the committee" to be a
violation Of law. 1t was contended by
a number of Republican senators on
the committee who opposed the re.
port that the action of the president
should not be analyzed now in a
judicial manner unless the subject is
treated as an act performed during
the stress of a business panic.

TRAIN RUNS INTO STREET CAR
Thirty-four Persons are Injured, One
Fatally, In a Crash at Cross
ing In Cleveland.

Cleveland, Feb. 25.-Dense clouds OF
steam last evening hid a northbound

stretch of track. 1t was this which
caused the smash.
