ABOLISH ARMY CHIEF. British Commission Would MaKe Rad ical Changes. LONDON, Feb. L The report of the tpjat commission, known as the Lord Ether commission, which was appoint ed for the purpose of advising the gov ernment concerning the administrative business of the war office, has been is sued. It advises that tha post of com mander in chief of the army be abolish ed. With the approval of the king and acting upon the recommendations of the eommissfos, the government has decided to appoint an army council framed upon the admiralty model, to abolish the office of commander In chief of the army and to create a new post, that of inspector general, whose princi pal duty will be to inspect and report oa the efficiency of the military forces , The commission suggests the ad- ,&ion to the existing defense commit tee of a permanent secretary holding office for fire years, two naval officers selected by the admiralty, two military (Bffieers chosen by the viceroy of India and if . possible other colonial repre sentative holding office for two years. With regard to the war office, the commission suggests that the secretary of state for war be placed in the same position as the first lord of the admi ralty, directly responsible to the crown mod to parliament. The constitution of the army council aims at decentraliza tfcm, . the Individual members of the eowncil being Intrusted with different branches, such as armament, supply, finance, etc In this connection the re port remarks significantly: "New measures demand new men. ra w-w. a.h mnnr ' iance to the appointment of military members not hitherto closely connect ed with existing methods and who therefore are not likely to be embar rassed, by the traditions of a system which is to he radically changed." The commission considers the aboli tion of the post of commander in chief to be Imperative, and it urges the di vorce of 'the administrative from the executive department. ' The Inspector general is to be ap pointed for five years. His sole func tion, sided by a staff, Js to report upon actual .facts without expressing opin ions on policies. ' It la understood that all the neces sary changes will be carried out with the least possible delay after obtain ing formal consent of parliament. Where it is necessary the report is most practical and business-like. It says it is "necessary to make a com plete , breach with the patst and en deavor to. reconstitute the war oflSce with a single eye to the effective train ing and preparation of the military forces for war," and again it says, "The object should be to secure for the British empire with the least pos sible, derangement of the existing ma chinery tke immense advantages which a general staff conferred upon 91 ---"""T-Tij iuh.ij .1.11. .ni in 'mimii.

WAR OR PEACE. Russia' Reply Held Back For Ccar'a Approval. PARIS, Feb. 1. Another delay has occurred in framing and forwarding the Russian answer to the latest Japa nese note, and this will result in fur ther averting the culmination of the crisis until the middle or the latter part of this week. Late official advices received here from St. Petersburg, although some what negative, gave definite details of the status of the note and the pro gramme it was Intended to follow Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minister, had expected that the ex changes going on would have permit ted the final drafting of the answer so that it could have been presented to the ezar for his approval, but these expectations were not realized, and, as a matter of fact, the answer has not yet been finally drafted. It was there fore determined to defer its submis sion to the czar until tomorrow or Wednesday. Efforts are still being made to so shape this answer as to prevent a rupture. This new delay is interpreted as slightly improving the situation, as it indicates that Russia is making ex treme efforts to bring the answer with 'in limits acceptable to Japan.

MARSEILLES, France, Feb. 1. The following details of the governmental mission to King Menelek of Abyssinia which was led by United States Con sul Robert P. Skinner have been ob tained. Mr. Skinner's party has ar rived here on board the steamer Vic toria. The American marines and bluejack ets who accompanied -the expedition were left at Aden and went on to join the American gunboat Machias. Consul Skinner and the other mem bers of the party are in good health, and they speak enthusiastically of the reception accorded them by King Men elek. On the way to the coast the party saw one elephant and heard, a number of lions, but experienced no exciting adventures. In the course of an inter View Mr. Skinner said: "President Roosevelt selected a most opportune time for establishing rela tions with Ethiopia, as Americans heretofore have been too indifferent to the remarkable development which is now going on in Abyssinia. Our cotton cloths paws through many hands be fore being sold at high prices in Abys sinia, but now Americans have oppor tunities to conduct their own trade. King Menelek will send some of the products of his country to the St. Louis exposition as well as a commission composed of able men to show the Americans commercial opportunities in Abyssinia. The king is a broad minded statesman who will welcome Ameri cans." During the visit of the Skinner party at the capital King Menelek received them surrounded by an imposing as semblage of 2,000 functionaries. The escort of American marines established a camp called Gamp Roosevelt, which attracted a great deal of interest. The king made a personal Inspection of the camp, which lasted for three hours. and after having witnessed the maneu vers of the marines he asked one of the men for his gun and loaded and fired it. This act on the part of the, king aroused much enthusiasm and impress ed the visiting Americans with the as similative ability of tie Abyssinians. Consul Skinner says further that the country is being , rapidly modernized and that new roads, bridges, water supplies, telephones and telegraph lines are being constructed. He considers the Abyssinians to be the Japanese of Africa. He points out, however, that the postal and banking systems are defective and unsatisfactory. The money is on a silver basis. Consul Skinner believes that Americans will find a large field for activity in the gold, coal, petroleum and asphalt pos sibilities of Abyssinia. According to news received by the foreign office, King Menelek is not like ly to leave Abyssinia because of the political situation there. . There is al ready a candidate for succession to the throne, and he fears that his departure would be a signal for civil warfare among the different chiefs., It is there fore considered impossible for the king to visit the St. Louis exposition. ; f. A CANARD. Mr. Maybriclc Not Released Merely Moved From AylegVtrry Prison. LONDON, Feb. 1. Mrs. Florence May brick, who is serving a life sen tence for the murder of her husband, has not been released, but has been re moved from Aylesbury prison presum ably to a private institution for the purpose of recuperation. She is still undergoing sentence under guard, and, though apparently not an inmate of any prison, she still remains as much a prisoner in the eye of the law as when she was at Aylesbury. On the authority of the United States embassy here it is definitely denied that Mrs. Maybrick has been pardoned. A report from Aylesbury said that Mrs. Florence Maybrick; the American MRS. FLORENCE MAYBRICK, At the time of her marriage. woman who was serving a life sen tence for having poisoned her husband, was released from the Aylesbury fe male convict prison on special license and had been granted a ticket of leave. - An English government official lately stated that Mrs. Maybrick probably would be released during the coming summer. Florence C Maybrick, the daughter of the late W. G. Chandler, a banker. of Mobile, Ala., was convicted at Liv erpool in 1839 of having poisoned her husband, James Maybrick, a cotton broker, who lived part of the time in Norfolk and part in Liverpool. She waa sentenced to death, but this sen tence was later commuted to life im prisonment.
