Relieved of Command of Second Si
berian Army Division.
St. Petersburg, May 17. The an
nouncement was made tonight that
General Zaxzalitch has been relieved of
the command of the second Siberian
army division and General Count Kel-
lar, former governor of Ekaterlnoslav,
has been appointed to succeed him.
Since the battle of Yalu It has been
predicted that Zassalitch would not long
retain his command, but there has been
no disposition to act hastily. The
emperor's advisors could not forget
that while Zasslltch did not carry out
the plant of operations he had dis
played a stubborn reslstence which
showed to the world that the Russians
had not lost the courageous spirit of
past generations.
What will become of Zassalitch can
not be learned tonight but It is em-

Hart Bchaffner A Marx outing suits are something more than simply thin cool clothes; you may as
well get style In your outing suits as to buy clothes that are merely "put together." You may as well

a string In a couple of weeks,
Tou'll get such outing suits as you ought to haw If you come here and ask for Hart Schaffner ft

JAPS ARE MASTERS.
Liao Tung and Southern Peninsulas
Are in Their Hands.
St, Petersburg, May 18. (2. a. m.)
Advices received by the general staff
show that the Japanese are practically
masters of all the southern and Liao
Tung peninsula, save Port Arthur and
the territory commanded by its guns.
This result, so promptly brought about
Is due to the failure of the Russians
to make opposition of any consequence
to the Japanese advance.
A member of the general staff said
to the Associated Press that the re
moval of the guns from the fortifica
tions erected at KInchau and the de
struction of Port Dalny were primarily
for the purpose of concentrating the en
tire Russian force at Port Arthur.

Attempt to Make the Zone Prohibition
Territory.
; Washington, May 17. Various tem
perance organizations have begun a
campaign to make the Panama Canal
zone prohibition territory. Admiral
Walker, the chairman of the commis
sion, asked concerning the feasibility of
prohibiting the sale of liquor by a con-
gressonat committee, said that such a
course would be absurd for the reason
that it would be Impossible to enforce
the regulation. Drinking on the strip
is not considerable. While people use
light wines and beer almost universal
ly, there Is comparatively little drunkenness.
