A Hong Kong dispatch to the Times says
that precautions against a Japanese attack
have been taken at Foochow, Annoy and
Swallow. The harbor of Annoy has been
planted with torpedoes and it is thought
probable that the Japanese will make an
attempt to capture that place.
The Chinese steamers are unable to enter
the harbor of Tamsui, in northern For
mosa. owing to the torpedoes planted there.
The coolies employed on the wharves in
Hong Kong have gone on a strike. A num-
Der of soldiers and ~convicts are employed

JAPAN's WAR FLEET.
Captain Mahan Says 1t Is Not u First
Class One.


NEW YORK. March 2.-Capt. Alfred T..
Mahan. of the cruiser Chicago, was inter-
viewed last night in reference to the Chi
nese-J apanese naval battles. In regard to
the report recently cabled from London
that the entire British and Russian MedI-
terranean fleets were to be ordered to the
Pacific. Captain Mahan said: THAT, /
think, is not at all likely. Before I lefs
some ships of those fleets had been ordered
to the Pacific, but it is highly improbable
that either England or Russia would leave
the Mediterranean stations without a feet
of wal ships / do not see why England
should want a larger fleet that she now has
in either japanese or Chinese waters
rs not England concerned about her
Pacific commerce since Japan has developed
into a conspicuous naval power
''But has Japan so DEVELOPER the Cap
tain asked. ..Even with the ships She has
added to her war fleet by Chinese captures,
either England or France alone could send
quired either of those nations to do so.
So far as Japan'S present naval strength
is concerned, you must recoilect that many
of thes Chinese ships she has captured
were badly injured in actions and the re-
pair of a severely damaged war ship. i.
not a matter of a month or so. 1t takes
a long time to replace armor, to fix disabled
engines and do other heavy and extensive
work which will be necessary before those
disabled Chinese ships can be commissioners
in the japanese navy. But, as | say, even,
when they shall all be commissioned, En-
gland could dispatch a 1eet superior IN num-
Der and class"
you were interested in the results of the
naval engagements between the Japanese
and Chinese?'
sCertainly; but the interest was mucn
less than we should have felt had there
been ANYTHING like an equality between the
men behind the guns, The value of those
engagements as teaching anything practi-
cal about the performance of modern war
ships in action was decreased because of
the greatly inferior discipline of the Chi
nese. If the Chinese ships had been manned
by well disciplined crews the Japanese sure
ly would have suffered much greater dam
age and loss. What we are all naturally
anxious to know about the actual per-
Torrance, offensive and defensive, of mod
ern war ships can be demonstrated only
when two fleets manned by crews of equal

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
NEW ALBANY, Ind. March ga sem
sation was sprung on the citizens to-day
when 1t was learned that the grand jury
was investigating the failure of the New
Albany Banking Company and its alleged
crooked manner OF transactlng business be-
fore it closed its doors. The jury has not
been in session for several days, but was
called to-day by Prosecutor Ctz. at the in
stance OF several Of the largest depositors
In the defunct institution. Clarence j.
Frederick was dismissed from the jury. as
he was cashier OF the banking company
when it failed. Numerous subpoenas have
been issued, and a majority OF the five hun
dred depositors will appear before the body.
The banking company went under in June,
1888. and since that time the depositors have
received but % per cent. of their deposits,
and the stockholders nothing at all. When
the bank failed, DR.. w. l.. Breyfogle owed
II Slf7,e0. He gave to assignee Stotsen-
burg a deed of trust on property in Chica-
go, but no money has yet been raised on
the property. in which the creditors of the
bedford bank are equally interested. The
deposft0rs have been threatening to take
action for several terms of court. and will
endeavor to secure Indictments for embez-

Lrs WOUND AND MISSION.
What Japanese and other Diplomatic les
Say on the Subject.


Say on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-~Information
coming to the Chinese legation is to the
effect that Lii Hung Chang's wound is, not
dangerous, except as complications may de-
velop. 1t is in the fieshy part of the face,
but, fortunately, no part of the skull has
been fractured or any vital organ reached.
Prince LIS advanced age and several con-
stitutional disorders, which make him al
most an invalid, however, ma aggravate
an otherwise harmless wound. On his ar
rival at Shimonoseki Ii was too sick to
leave the ship which brought him. He has
to be carried about, this being a neces-
sity in his case as well as an honor due
his rank. Officials of the Japanese legation
say the offender possibly will be charged
with treason, as the assault is not only
against the person of Ii Hung Chang, but
also against the japanese government. 1t
is probable, also, that the trial will be by
court-martial, if the marital law existing at
Hiroshima has been extended to Simon
oseki. Conviction by court-martial would
mean that the offender would be shot, while
Convicted him, that form Of capital pun
ishment having been substituted for decapi-
tation in japan. In this connection Japan,
of .Mikado' fame never had an existence
in fact.
Mrs. John w. Foster, wife of the ex-Sec-
rotary of State, who accompanies Ii Hung
Chang in an advisory capacity, has not
heard from her husband concerning the
shooting. She regards this as favorable,
as he assured her he would use the cable
freely. Mr.. Fosters last letters came from
Shanghai, prior to joining Ii at Tien-Tsin.
Apparently Mr.. Foster regards a peaceful
settlement as sure to come. The letters
speak of the care the japanese govern
ment took to prevent a popular outbreak
when the first peace commission met at
Kobe. So fearful was the government that
the anti-peace feeling might bring out some
shooting, such as that which occurred to
teach Japanese children it was a necessary
feature of civilization to accord every re-
spect to foreigners.
Diplomates here are inclined to believe that
the entire peace negotiations possibly may
be broken off by the assault on Lii, by
affording a pretext for European interven-
ton. Lii himself, however, will prevent a
failure of peace negotiations il it be posi-
BILE for him to do so, as the Empress dow
ager has so impressed on him the neces-
sity of returning to China with a peace
settlement that failure, it is asserted, will
be followed by his committing suicide.
Officials here regard it as settled that Rus
STA and Japan have reached an understand
ing by which the former will extend her ter
ritory southwark from Vladivostock, thus
round. This has been an acquisition Rus
STA has long sought, as 1t gives an eastern
ocean outlet to the great Siberian railroad.
The undertaking is regarded as so definite
and settled that those diplomates here who
are most concerned with the subject say
Japan is now assured OF Russia'S support
in urging heavy concessions from China.

John l.. suIIivan,s Condition.

BOSTON, March 25.-John l.. Sullivan's
condition is improving. He slept well last
night and this morning partook of a good
breakfast. 1t is expected that he will be
out in a few days.
A good deal of anxiety is expressed lest
the illness of Sullivan may do away will
the possibility of bringing the ex-champion
and Jake Kilrain together in a boxing
match in New York, arrangements fol
which were started last week. Since his
fine howing with O'Donnell, Kilrain has
been the recipient of offers to meet several
~well-known pugilists. He said at Baltimore
more to my advantage TO meet him than
any one else" The Atlantic Club, of New
York, wants him TO spar ten rounds with
Peter Maher about the middle of April
and this morning he received an offer from
Montreal for a ten-round bout with Billy
Woods, to come off in the latter part OF
April.

LOUISVILLE CITIZENS SURPRISED
A Very Unique Parade Coming Very
Unexpectedly Upon Them Causes
Much CONSERVATION.

Last Saturday night the very pious citt
Zens of Louisville were much surprised to
see a long procession vending its way up
one of the principal thoroughfares of the
city. For a time 1t looked as though the
bent upon some mischief, and every one
was consequently much alarmed, but upon
closer observance 1t proved to be a very
UNIQUE, as well as immense advertisement
which the firm of w. S. Mathews &
Sons had adopted to put their Mutual
Benefit chewing tobacco before the public.
This firm certainly deserves all success
for their energy and push in these hard
times and as they are now introducing
their Mutual Benefit on this market it is
to be hoped that they will waken up things
here by a similar display.

ment which, he says. is designed to set
Mrs. Coan right before the world. He
declares that he has deeply wronged Mrs.
Coan, unwittingly, by marrying her when
he had another wife living. The wrong, he
declares. was unwittingly committed, as
owing to a fall which injured his brain
he had completely forgotten his previous
marriage. Afterwar ds, becoming convinced
that he was already married. he acknowl-
edged the facts in writing to Mrs. Coan
and has since been endeavoring to have
the first marriage annulled in order TO
perfect that with Mrs. Coan. HambIy lives
in California, but Mrs. Coan Is with his
relatives here. He met her at Los An
geles and in the Hawaiian Islands.

Walter A. Wood Harvester Company re-
ownership has received the sanction and
