FlCATION OF CARGOES.
Washington Government Notifies Ship*
pera That Officer to Supervise
Loading Will Be Furnished.
London.?Although the foreign office
regards with high favor the American
government's pl&n of certifying cargoes
destined for Europe, it was said
that England cannot accept such certification
as an absolute guaranty of
the nature of the cargo in case cause
for suspicion arises after a vessel
leaves America. In other words, the
right of search, cannot be waived because
of the possibility of shifting cargoes
at sea.
The waiving of the right of search
in the opinion of prominent British
l officials, would be an invitation for
smuggler) to carry contraband to sea
in small- boats and transfer it to a
ship of certified cargo. The position
is precisely the same as that taken
by the foreign 'office concerning cer
tlfl cation of manifests by British consuls
at American ports. The Government
constantly is in communication
with representatives of Sweden, Norway,
Denmark and Holland, and it is
reported these nations are now taking
steps to revise their lists of prohibited
exports to correspond with (he British
contraband list. That would makg
possible a resumption of shipping to
neutral European countries from America
with delays or danger of seizure.
Owing to failure of the London
newspapers to discuss the preliminary
negotiations between Ambassador
Pagd and Foreign Secretary Grey extending
over several weeks before the
American note was presented, the
English public was not well advised
concerning the difference which grew
up. Even no^ the opinion is quite
general, notwithstanding publication
Wilson denied iJhgland's right of
search. Consequently much of the
shook occasioned by the presentation
of the American note was due to misapprehension
and now is disappearing
on account of the calm and friendly
attitude of the government.
1 Canal Slides Prove Difficult
Washington.?Governor Goethals of
the Panama Canal Zone told a house
appropriation sub-commitee that the
slides in the big waterway had proved
much more extensive than was at first
thought. At the point where they
occurred,-he sa.'d, there is a channel
' 100 feet wide pad 35 feet deep, but
shoaling has complicated the situation.
He did not discuss the probable
effect on plans for sending the American
fleet through the canal in March,
but said the Zone government was
working the dredges 20 hours a day.

Turkish Advance Ends In Disaster*
London.Two of the three Turkish
columns which last week invaded the
Russian Caucasus have met with disaster
and the troops not killed or captured
are in diserderly retreat.
Th? Rnsnlnnn ftlstn rfinnrt another
victory over the Austrians in - the
Uzsok Pass of the Carpathians. Emperor
Francis Joseph's army in this
region is declared to be In full retreat
in a mountain pass deep in snow with
Russian cavalry attacking its flank
and rear.
By forcing this pass, the Russians
gain control of some of the most valuable
oil flelds in Austria, and thus
shut off another Bource of fuel supplies,
which the Austro-German
armies are said to so much need.
While forcing back the Turks and
Austrians the Russian troops are holding
the line of the Mazurian Lakes in
East Prussia; are fighting strenuously
to withstand the German offensive in
North Poland; are advancing towards
Cracow and have crossed Bukowina,
which is now virtually in their possession.
In North Poland where Russia is
confronted with the most serious task,
the weather is proving a useful ally.
The Germans, according to their accounts,
are making only slow prog-1

salute of 2 guns so timed t'.i il the last

100 years to the minute, according to
historians, that General Jackson finally
triumphed over the British on the
field of Chalmette near New Orleans.

The ottxer rates, 5 per cent for 60 to
