As Soon as Secured Qoqernment Wll Begin Celllo Canal. Washington, March 24. It devel oped today, upon Inquiry nt the War department, that tho government is not llkolj to begin construction of Tho Dallefl-Celllo canal, because the stato of Oregon has not yet conveyed to tho Federal government nbsolutotltlo to tho right of way for this waterway. Tho original act of congress authoriz ing tho canal stipulated that no work should bo done until the stato had pre sented right of way to tho government free of cost. When this condition was imposed by congress, steps wero taken by tho stato looking to tho purchoso or condemnation of tho necessary lands and army engineers nro advised that most, if not all, of the land necessary has been purchased or condemned. In fact, last 8cptcmtcr Mjor Langfltt transmitted to tho chief of engineers abstracts of title to this land. These abstracts wero examined by tho attor ney general and approved ns being sulll ciently binding. The papers were then returned to Major Langlltt with tho understanding tliut tho stato would mnko payments for tho various parcels of land Included In the right of wny. Since that tlnie nothing lina been heard from Major I-nnglltt or from tho state, and, so far ns the Wnr department Is aware, this right of wny has not been purchased. Until tho title Is turned over to tho government, not 0110 cent of the $300, 000 appropriated Inst session can bo ex pended. Notwithstanding this situa tion, Major Ijingfltt will proceed with tho prupnrnion of tho project for tho expenditure of this money nnd work will begin in accordance with this plan Just ns soon iih title to the right of wny rests in tho government. BACK TO BAIKAL. Russians May Continue Their Retreat When Harbin is Reached. 8t. Petersburg, March IM. Tho pos sibility that, If tlio Russian army should be unahlu to hold tho lower line of tho Sttugarl river nnd ChunehinlHii, it may be compelled to retreat not only to Harbin, but also further westward along the railroad, abandoning to the Japanese Northern Manchuria and the Russinn maritime Amur provinces ns well, Is tho latest startling news from the front. The strategic weakness of General Linievitch's position an ho fiilln back northward is made clear by theGuiishu dispatches to the Associated Press, lit which it is pointed out that, unless Ohiinchialsti nnd the Kungari lines, a scant 100 miles below llnrbln, can be held, it will be dilllcitlt to maintain a ponitiou farther back before Jlnrhiii, where, with the front of the army par alleling the railroad, tho practicability of n turning movement to completely sever communications and isolate the army ft 000 miles from home Is too ser ious for Russian consideration. In view of tills pomdhlllly the dispatch alluded to suggests the advisability of immedi ately providing Vladivostok with wnr munitions and supplies for u two years' siege. WILL ADOPT LESSONS TAUGHT. President nnd General Officers Will Appl Them In Army. Washington, March 24. Results of the observation of American army ol li ce rs during the Rtisso-Jupanefo war formed the subject of a conference today between tho president and Assistant Secretary of Wnr Oliver, General C'ro zler, chief of 'the bureau of ordinance and several olllcers of tho general staff. The importance of individual initiative in the soldier mid of higher physical training than heretofore has character ized tho private in tlio ranks has been made evident. Tlio conference today was preliminary to the adoption of such means as will iuc renne the training and add to the luitlativeof the enlisted men Join the army. The methods will bo taught them which nro lxrn of exper ience and observation. It Ih expected that thcHu methods not only will in crease the ellieieney of tlio private sol dier, but aUo will enabl)) him the bet ter to protect himself ami perhaos his comraderi in time of emergency, Tint new methods will lie promulgated in general orders to the nriuy.

GETS AT THE FACTS Grand Jury Learn of Methods of Beef Trust. VIOLATIONS OF LAW ARE SOUGHT Price Are Kept Uniform Big Profits for Packers, Small Ones for Retail Merchants. Chlcngo, March 25. Tho Federal grand Jury which is investigating tho business methods of tho packers ac quired a lot of information today from two of tho four witnesses examined during tho oay. Thomas O. Ruddy, of Ruddy llros., an independent pack ing firm of Kansas City, nnd Michael R. Murphy, general manager for tho Cudnhy Packing company in South Omaha, Sioux City and Kansas City, contributed tho hulk of tho Informa tion, Mr. Ruddy occupying tho chair all afternoon. Roth of tho witnesses, after leaving tho grand Jury room, expressed tho be lief that tho grand Jury was pursuing a settled policy in asking questions which boro directly on tho, charges of viola tion of tho Interstate commerce law and tho Sherman anti-trust law. They did not construe tho questions askod of tho.it to bo framed for tho purposo of gathering general information con cerning tho packing industry. Testimony showing tho prollts of re tail meat dealers and prices of unfailing uniformity for meats at tho "hlg live" packers' branch houses was given. In a detailed statement tho cost and sale prices of beef handled by retailors in Kansas City war explained by Robert Hall, it dealer from that city, nnd tho high prices blamed on the packers. Tlio gist of the evidence was that tho charge mado by packers that retailors were making 100 per cent profit on beef Is incorrect, nnd, whilo on somo cuts tho profit Is almost that amount, it is equalized by the fact that nn equal por ccntngu Is sold at it loss or at least no profit. Mr.' Hall's testimony also showed that the packer who pays $4.76 per 100 pounds for beef on the hoof sells It at $8 per 100 pounds tq the, re tailer, who nvemues 11 trlflo less than $10.43 In gross receipts for tho same meat. There were 30 witnesses In tho Jury room unnex nt the opening of the ses sion. Extra precautious were taken to pteveut witnesses from coming In con tact with outsiders. The d6ors wero lot ked and Deputy .Marshal Middleton sat inside, while Captain Porter stood outside tho door. PLANS FOR MORE SUBWAYS New York Opens Bids for Structures Costing $230,000,000.
