In a nutshell, is the news from Yol,o-
hama today and it is really the first
news from Japan since the beginning
OF the Chlnese crisis. 1t was obvious
that the Japanese government had
stopped telegraphic communication
which it never does except when mo-
bilizing the army or navy 1t is also
certain that the destination of the
fleet is Wei Hal Wei, and there Is no
doubt the movement means the status
quo in China, so far as Manchuria and
Corea are concerned, shall not be all
tered by Russia or any combination of
Russia's allies, in defiance of Great
Britain and Japan. So long as the de-
tenders policy is equality of oppor-
tunity in China, they are in a position
to enforce their claims

still sounding Kiao-Chou bay. adding
that the exact site of the port is NOT

SANDUSKY, o., Jan. H.-The steamer
American Eagle, which arrived here today
from the Island region brought the news OF
a gale at Put-in-Bay by which the lives Of
zoo persons were placed in imminent peril.
During the winter when the ice is strong
enough to hold them. large numbers Of resi-
dents of the island engage in fishing through
the ice. Quite as many women as men use
the houses. Yesterday, while about 200 men
were in the little houses, a fierce gale sprung
up suddenly and without warming the wind
reaching a velocity of sixty miles an hour,
The wind. which of-shore, was so fierce
that the ice. weakened by rain that morning,
began to crack and break along the shore.
The line of blue water that marked the break
began 20 widen with appalling speed, and
then came the general breaking up. Men
and women began a mad rush towards the
shore from which relief parties In small
boats had commenced to put out to the res
cue. Their attention given first 10 those
who had fallen into the water, and, after
they were all picked up, the people who were
drifting out on the cakes of ice were taken

numbed and some of them were unconscious.
The rescuers worked heroically in the face
of great dangers, and succeeded in bringing to
shore every one of the 200 people.

disastrous floods ever known to English was
felt last night when three of the five bridges

horses, cattle and hogs turned loose by owners
Many horses and cattle were drowned Many

and five feet deep in water. The loss to log
gers will amount to many thousand dollars.

The Pennsylvania Democrats.

The democracy of Pennsylvania at AL
toona yesterday nominated a man of excel
lent personal character and high order of
ability for governor and wrote platform
dealing specifically with state issues Quay
ism and Bossism were distinctly challenged
and the people called upon TO take their af-
fairs out Of the hands now controlling them
and intrust them to better. An extremely
lively campaign is assured.
An effort was made to steer the party
entirely clear of Organism. 1t was not
successful. The mention of Mr. Bryans
name evoked the only hearty cheering that
was heard. Mr.. jerks, who won the guber-
material nomination easily, canvassed the
state for Mr.. Bryan two years ago The
platform does not mention by name the
Chicago platform. but all the same that
deliverance was Endorsed. as Witness:
The democracy of Pennsylvania, in
state convention assembled renewing their
former pledges of fidelity and devotion to
the sacred rights of the people and state
ana true to the convictions and declara-
TONS or the party upon national questions"
All that was accomplished at Altoona.
therefore, by those who were striving for
a state campaign on non-partisan issues
was the suppression of the mention of the
Chicago platform by name. That platform
was indirectly Endorsed. Bryan man was
nominated for governor. and, Mr.. Bryan's
own name hailed with such enthusiasm as
indicated that the Nebraska leader is still
the hero of the Keystone democrats. Ger
tainiy not very logical or promising out
III Tor non-partisan state campaign
But another element enters into the uues-
ton more serious even than Organism.
nat does democracy signify this year?
no speak for the party? Mr.. Jones of
Arkansas, chairman of the national com
mittee? Mr. White of California, chairman
OF the congressional committee? Mr.. Bal
ley OF Texas, democratic leader In the
House OF Representatives? These men are
all trying to hamper the national admin
lstration IN vigorous prosecution of the
war They are championing a policy in
Congress which the Sugar Trust more than
any other influence favors and encourages.
They are trying to overrule the highest
military and naval authorities on questions
of national defense
DO these men speak for the democracy
IL So the people of Pennsylvania and other
states viii hardly rally in overwhelming
numbers 10 the democracy's standard this
year.

OLE CORRESPONDENCE Philadelphia Press.

New York Correspondence Philadelphia Press
Over the stock exchange ticker today
there came in disguised way an indica-
tiCn of what public opinion here is, or at
least financial or commercial opinion upon
the proper course for the government to
follow with respect to the Philippine Isl
ands The market has been dull for some
days for no reason that was of any public
consequence. but this morning it unusually
was heavy, and seemed not little discour-
aged. So far as the public is concerned
this condition would be of no consequence
were it not for the fact that it was caused
by some anxiety about the course of events
in the Philippines.
1t Is plain that the anxiety lest the Ger
mans intend to interfere under some diplo-
matte or specious pretext to prevent Ad-
n;iral Dewey and Gen. Merritt from obtain
ing the full victory and the full results of
the victory has been so great that a de-
preston in the price of securities has been
occasioned. Therefore it must be regarded
In financial and commercial circles as of the
highest Importance to the United States
that the American victory at Manila be
complete both as a military and naval
operation, and in the results which are to
follow the triumph of the ships and the
