THE ILL-FATED CHICORA
Floating About Lake Michigan Sc
cureIy Locked In the Ice FIoss.
Survivors Seen from Shore on Raft-Tugs
Pushing to Rescue.

Chicago, Feb. 3-At 10 this morning
an object $50 feet long resembling the
hull of the ill fated steamer Chicora, was
discovered off South Chicago, lying be
tween two large ice foes. The hull was
floating south and the life saving crew
was dispatched at p. NJ. by the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad, to follow it along
the Indiana shore Tugs were also sent
from Chicago.
At j. 80 z. NJ. Agent Van Sickle of the
Baltimore & Ohio at Whiting Ind, re-
ported that he had seen the hull two miles
off shore. Beside the hull was raft on
which 10 or 90 men could be seen. At a
later hour the relief train was sent out
over the Baltimore & Ohio and returned
80 South Chicago. The life saving crew
lowed the wreck about two miles off Whit
since =. NJ.
Owing to darkness it was impossible to
make any attempt to reach the wreck from
the shore, though two tugs were fighting
their way through the ice from the out
side toward the wreck If they succeed
in reaching it, tonight, and rescuing any
survivors, they will probably return to
Chicago, as all other harbors are closed
with ice.
Later the tugs returned without finding
the Chirora.
Great excitement prevailed for hours,
today, among people along the shore of
Lake Michigan and South Chicago to
Whiting, Indiana, on account of the re-
port that the null of the Chicora had been
discovered and human bings could be dis
carned moving on the hull. Old Lake men
place no crsdcpce in the report for the
reason that since the vessel left milwaukee,
two weeks ago tomorrow, for Benton
Harbor, with 81 souls on board, westerly
winds have invariably prevailed, which
would blow any part Of the Chicora to-
wards the Michigan Shore and it is not
possible, in their opinion, for the vessel
to have drifted towards this shore
Crews ON the tugs say they spied in the
gloom an object which looked like the
hull of a vessel or a raft and that on their
trip from Chicago they encountered ham
mocks of snow laden ice with numerous
gulls thereon, which might easily have
been mistaken by the excited people on
shore for part of the vessel occupied by
human beings. The tugs will resume the
search, tomorrow.

THE SAWYER HEIRS
Divide The Property Of the Murdered Man
About SIP 600.

Monmouth, Feb 3.-After waiting over
six months in hopes that the assassin OF
their uncle might be apprchended, the
nieces and nephews of the late Augustus
Sawyer, who was so brutally and mys-
teriously murdered in his barn here, last
spring, have, through the administrator,
Albert A. Sawyer, divided among them
selves the personal property found by
them in the old Permits wood pile.
The sum as found represented at its
face value some $4,000. About $4,000 OF
this, however, was il, Western securities
that had greatly shrunken in value since
the miser had invested in them.
Taking these papers into consideration
the heirs have divided just about an even
$4,000, and there are six Of them to
share 1t. The real estate worth, proba-
bly,, $4,000, will quite likely stay as it is
for while, partly because there is a
standing reward Of $500 by the heirs for
the murderer arrest, the same sum as
the town offers.

HENRI R0CHEF0RTs WELCOME.
Greeted With Cheers from 10000 Parisians
On His Return from Exile.

Paris, Feb. 3.-The crowd that came
out to see the last honors paid to the last
marshal of France was much smaller than
the gathering at the railway station where
Henri Rochefort, editor of the Intransi-
geant was welcomed home from year Of
exile in England. The whole Paris mob
seemed packed in the open square In It
were all the Socialist deputies, including
Gcrault Richard, the man imprisoned and
elected for insulting Casimir- Perier.
The Socialist revolutionary societies
brought out their last man and stood I'm q
solid phalanx close to the station en-
france. The streets leading to the In
trans;geant Office were filled with men
and women from wall to wall. 1t is es-
timated that 100000 persons stood be-
tween the station and Office, and thou
sands more looked down from the win
dows and roofs.
The staff Of the Intransigeant received
the chief with great demonstration and
cordiality. The speeches of welcome and
replies lasted more than an hour, dnring
which the tlrong outside cheered inces-
sanity. The enthusiasm surpassed any
thing seen here since the Russian naval
officers departed, and there was no dis
order and no arrests.

Chinese Peace Enjoys Gre

That Japanese Refused to Confer and
Ordered Them Out of Japan.
Last Chinese Stronghold at Wei Hal Wei Falls
Into Japanese Hands.

London, Feb. 3.-The Central News
correspondent at Hiroshima telegraphs,
under today's date: Premier Count Ito
and Niscount Mutsu, minister of foreign
affairs. had second interview with
China S peace ENJOYS, yesterday afternoon.
The main object Of the meeting was to
exchange credentials. The ministers
found the credentials of the ENJOYS very
imperfect and to leave them absolutely
powerless to conduct binding negotia.
TONS They refused at once to continue
the negotiations and requested the en-
voys to leave the country as soon as posi-
BILE.
The ENJOYS will sail, tomorrow, on
the steamship Owarimaru, for Nagasaki,
where they will await the arrival of the
mail steamship for China. They will be
accompanied until they depart by the in
spector- general of police and several as
sistant inspectors, who will prevent hostile
demonstrations on the part of the people.
The parliamentary resolution to approve
all war expenditures, regardless of amount
and date, is prefaced with the declara-
ton that the objects of the war are not
yet realized
The Central News correspondent at
Wei Hal Wei, telegraphs, under date of
Feb. /: 1.-THE Chinese warships were
much damaged in yesterdays fight AT
ter the Paichyaso forts capitulated, the
Japanese turned the captured guns against
the Chinese warships, hitting them re-
peatedly and forcing them to change their
positions. "A violent snow storm in the
afternoon of Jan. 81, compelled the
Japanese fleet to remain inactive, and
thus frustrated the japanese plan to bring
on general naval engagement.
A dispatch sent, today, by the Central
News correspondent in Chez Foo, says:
The Japanese have captured the island
of Ling Kung Tau, the last stronghold of
the Chinese at Wei Hal Wei The bonn
bardment was terrific and lasted for
hours. The Chinese answered it with I'M
usual spirit, but many of their guns were
disabled early in the engagement. To
ward the close of the bombardment six
Japanese ships landed marines, who
captured the batteries. The fighting was
severe and many were killed and wounded
on each side. As this dispatch is sent, the
two fleets are hotly engaged. -
A Central News dispatch, sent from
Hal Cheng, Friday, says that Viceroy
Liu Kung III has arrived at New Chwang
and will assume supreme command of

neutrality-suspicious. Ahead for Japan.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The dispatch from
Hiroshima stating that the Chinese peace
ENJOYS were sent back under escort, be-
cause of the insuiliciency of credentials,
exactly accords with the anticipatory adj
vices received by Mr.. Kurino, japanese
minister to the United States. 1t had
been the expressed opinion at the japanese
legation from the beginning that the
Chinese government was simply pursuing
its customary policy of delay in the
matter.
The first attempt was to place Japan in
the attitude of suing for peace, by Civ
ing the proposition made Mt the sugges-
ton of the United States by Minister
Dun at Toxic, precedence over the PROPOSE
ton made by Minister DENLY at Pekin
This subterfuge being rejected, Japan in
sisting that China must take the initia-
tive in asking for peace, China next re-
quested an arnistice.
This being refused, Dec. 8, China ap-
pointed Chang Hin Huan, and Shao,
governor OF Formosa, as peace ENJOYS.
