With the American and English markets closed to her it is thought that Russia can only turn to Germany, who is not likely to be much more responsive than France, and #.ie only alternative would seem to bo to make peace.

March 15.—It is reported that Grand Duke Nicholas Nicola ievitcli has been appointed commander-in-chief of the army in Manchuria to succeed General Kuropatkin. with General SoukhomlinofC as chief of staff. Washington, Match 15.—Ratification of the Sauto Domjngo treaty seems w&ll nigh hopeless, and, realizing this, some of the senate leaders are considering a proposition to send a commission to the island to investigate the true etrite of affairs and find out if there is. any actual necessity for the negotiation of such a convention. This is the old familiar method of- postponing itctlon. St. Petersburg, March 15.—A bold way out of the perplexities of the present situation has been suggested— namely, that Kmperor Nicholas travel in state to the ancient capital of Moscow, summon the nobles and leading members of the zemstyos a round him in the sacred precincts of the kremlin, frankly lay the situation before them, publicly pledge his word for the execution Of the projected reforms and make a stirring personal appeal through them to the people to loyally rally to the support of the Uussiau arms and co-operate in prosecuting the war to a successful termination. Such a personal appeal from the sovereign undoubtedly would have a powerful effect throughout the country and for the dynasty would have an advantage over the plan of submitting the (luestion of peace or war to the zemsk.v sobor, which some of the, newspapers are again urging. New York, March 15.—The special committee of the board of directors of the Equitable Life Assurance society, consisting of James W. Alexander, Cornelius X. Bliss, T. De Witt., t'uyler, Chauncey M. Depew, James H. Ilyde, Valentine P. Snyder and George K. Tarbell unanimously resolved at a meeting held here to recommend the board of directors that the charter of the society be at once amended so as to confer upon the policy holders the right to elect a majority of the board of directors—namely, twenty-eight out of fifty-two.

When the Santo Domingo treaty was taken tiji in executive session of the senate Senator Teller again made a plea for an open session for the discussion of law points which he said were involved in the treaty. He said that it was desirable on matters of this character to get the views of the country and make the people understand just what was proposed to he done under the treaty. He complimented the senate committee on foreign relations for the efforts it had made'to amend the treaty satisfactorily, and he declared that the convention, with perhaps one or two additional amendments, had been put- in the best iiossibie Condition. "But." he added, "it is impossible to amend the treaty so that it will satisfy me. I am opposed to it for fundamental and basic reasons." Paris, March 15,—Inquiry at three banks prlneipaliyjntcrested in the proposed new Hussian loan brought the res|KDnse that it had been decided to postpone the issue. A representative of one of the banks said the postponement. was for such an Indefinite period that it was not likely the issuance would occur for some time to come. The postponement was attributed to the uncertainties of the war situation. Special Hulledii Issued Today by the JURORS DRAWN TODAY Scran ton Hnincli.wf the Weather Night Prowling Tlilcvos. Rurtijpi.
