ARMED MEN TO KOREA
Strong Military Force Will Be
Used in Restoring Order in the
Hermit Kingdom.
RUSSIA WILL CONSENT
United States Gunboat Vicksburg
and Marines Ordered to
Chemulpo.

PARIS, Dec. 26.-It was learned in an au-
thOritative quarter to-day that Japan is
about to send a military force to Korea for
the purpose of restoring and maintaining
order at the disturbed ports. The depart
ure of this force is imminent. 1t will prob
ably consist of a division of 1900 men. ia
pan has been assured that Russia Will not
consider the sending of troops to Korea to
be an unfriendiy act or a casus belli.
1t is anticipated that the departure of
the troops will revive the war rumors,
which, however. it is pointed out in the
authoritative quarters, will be unjustified,
inview of Russia's acquiescence.
During the recent exchange of commune
cations between Russia and Japan the for
mer fully recognized the need of the pres
ence of a strong military authority in
Korea and conceded that Japan was in the
best position to promptly send troops TO
the disturbed points. The sending or the
troops, nevertheless, is construed as hav-
ing an important bearing on the present
negotiations as ii will be the first con-
Spicuous evidence of Japan'S actual eXer-
else of paramount authority over Korea.
1t is further said in the same quarters that
the preparations for tits expedition We're
the cause of the recent great activity at the
Japanese arsenalS and dockyardS, which, II
is asserted, has been enormously ascrlbed
TO preparations against Russia.
Information has also been received here
that Foreign Minister Lamsdorf has per-
sonally received Japan's reply and that in
view of it's terms he is said to have eX-
pressed surprised at the reports of Japan s
beligerant attitude. This, it is added, is
regarded clearly showing the amicable
spirit in which the negotiations are pro
ceeding.

OPERATING THE MINES
ON Il LOWER Scale

MEYERSDALE. Pa, Dec 26.-The Som
erset Coal Company has evicted the fam
flies of four striking Slavish miners at Pine
Hill, in the Meyersdale field. Sheriff Cole
man was present and the tenants accepted
the situation without resistance. The Som
erset Coal Company took a carload of men
from the Elk Lick and Summit mines at
night into the Pine Hill mines, which are
now being operated. They are also run
ming the mines at Wilson creek, Listie and
LandStreet on reduced wages. The W. X.
Niver Company is operating both shaft and
slope mines at McDonaldton, near Ber-
lin, and the mine at Niverton. The Meyers
dale Coal Company also is running its
mine at Wells creek There is not mine
that is running the Somerset and Cam
bria branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road before the strike order went into effect
that is not working now. These places had
no organiza ton. this being especially true
of the Niver mines. The Meagher mines
and those at Galloway and Clayton, of Bal
timore, located near Salisbury are running,
as is also the Hardy Able mine near
Meyersdale, but they are paying the old
scale OF So cents.

REYES AND HERRAN MAY
LEAVE THE UNITED STATES
If Secretary Hay Ignores Protest
They viii Pick Up Their
Baggage and Travel.
WANT A SPEEDY REPLY
But There Is No Indication the
Colombians VIII Be Given
Satisfaction.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Unless the
United States, in the reply which Secretary
Hay will make to the note of General Reyes,
accords Colombia that measure of satisfac-
ton which, from her point of view, she feels
herself entitled TO with respect to Panama,
both General Reyes and DR.. Herran Will
leave this capital. This was frankly ad-
mitted tonight While disavowing any in
tention of bringing undue pressure to bear
on Secretary Hay for a speedy reply to the
note which General Reyes has filed in behalf
of his government both he and DR.. Herran
are most anxious.to be appraised of the sec
retary's conclusions at the earliest possible
moment. With the view to obtaining light
on this point, Dr. Herran, the Colombian
charge. to-day twice called at the residence
of Mr.. Hay, but was unable to see him on
account of his continued illness.
The hope is entertained both by General
Reyes and DR.. Herran that in the event of
a refusal by Mr.. Hay to admit their conten-
lions the United States may agree as last
resort TO submission of the propositions 10

pointed out that the filing Of the note was
in accordance with the treaty of 1876 be-
tween the United States and Colombia, one
of the provisions of which gives the con-
tracing party feeling aggrieved at the &C
ton of the other the right to protest, with
the further stipulation that a reply shall be
forthcoming. 1t is said that Mr.. Hay has
not indicated when he will make answer TO
the Colombian note.
The following cablegram' reached the
Navy Department to-day from Rear Ad-
miral Coghlan at Colon: Atlanta did not
land armed force in Colombia territory at
any time for any purpose. TWO otncers
landed as usual with swords at invitation OF
Colombian generals" Admiral Coghlan
also cabled the department that he would
proceed to Cartagena with his flagship,

purpose of bringing Minister Beaupre TO

from BOgota on leave
Consul General Gudger, at Panama, has
notified this government that the govern
mcnt of Panama has reduced it's postal

INDIANAPOLIS ARMY
POST SITE CONTROVERSY
Secretary Root May Not Consent
to Onitting the Roberts and
Cemetery Tracts.
PROTESTS FROM CITIZENS

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The arrival here
to-day of a letter from Representative
Overstreet probably had the reflect to delay
until Monday the sending of the papers in
the Indianapolis post site controversy
to Secretary Root General Humphrey de-
sired to give consideration to the letter, and
he will send it to the Secretary, with the
other papers, Monday. Mr.. Overstreet is
making an effort TO assist the department
officials in solving the problem regarding the
various tracts of land in dispute by aiding
to find some way of emitting the cemetery
lands.
The impression prevails among the officials
that Seer stary Root will not consent to have
the tracts omitted, but this is only an opin-
ion based upon the military mans idea Of
the character of the proposed post and the
area and contour of the grounds that will
be desired. Letters are also coming from
Indianapolis TO the department from pri-
vate citizens protesting against the taking
of the cemetery tract. These letters will
also be left TO Secretary Root. The Secre-
tary is very busy closing up his connection
with the department preliminary TO retir-
ing from the Cabinet, and possibly il may
be several days before he reaches the papers
in the post site question.

RUSSIANS SETTLING
ALONG THE RAILROADS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-According to
report received at the State Department
from United States Commercial Agent
Greener at Vladivostock. Siberia, under
date Of July %, 1903, Russian settlements
have made their appearance at nearly all
the larger railroad stations in Manchuria.
Besides railroad Offices and houses for en-
ployes, there many private buildings.
One impeachment to the expansion of these
settlements is that no regular sales of land
have yet been arranged for. 1t is said that
there will be an auction sale of lots next
year. In the meantime private persons are
allowed to occupy lots temporarily
Regarding the affairs of Siberia, CONNER
cial Agent Greener says there is a survey
ing party now engaged in defining the route
of the second Siberian railroad. The party
will project the line in such manner that,
instead of four daily trains of twenty cars
each, nine trains of thirty-siX cars each
will run every twenty-four hours. An APP
preparation of S., 10000 has been made for
this improvement. He also states that the
preliminary work for the railroad line from
Kiakhta to Picking via Urga has been APP
propriated.

TRACTION EQUIPMENT
WRECKED BY STORM

Special to the indianapolis Journal
Ind, Dec. 26.-As a result
OF the storm in this part of the State last
night the new Evansville Princeton Elec-
trie Railroad. which has been in operation
but two weeks. is tied UP, and will not be
opened to business again for some days.
Several trees fell across the track. causing
the burning out of a transformer in the
power mouse. The company has provided
for duplicate machinery In it's power house,
but the second set has not yet been in
stalled. The loss will amount to thousands
OF dollars.
AS stated by the Journals correspondent
last night, the fire at Petersburg during the
storm was the gas cOmpany's regulator
house. and not the power house. The loss
was small, but several hundred families
were deprived of their gas supply.

FUNERALS BLOCKED BY
STRIKE SYMPATHIZERS
Transfers and Street-Car En-

FIGHT FOR OPEN. SHOP
Chicago Livery Drivers Deter
termined to Run Their Own
Business.

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-To-day the liverymen
made an effort to break the strike of livery
drivers, which has lasted for ten days.
Their carriages and hearses. driven by nom
union men. were used at funerals. and but
little disorder resulted. The funerals which
were compelled to pass through the bust
ness section Of the city were frequently
blocked by teamsters and street-car men,.
who placed their vehicles in the way. The
police in every instance Strengthened out
the blockades Immediately. One teamster
who Intentionally scraped a hearse with
his heavy truck was pulled from his seat
and arrested.
The livery owners decided to-day to make
a fight for the open shop" and issued a
warning to the strikers that all men who
wished TO secure their old places must re-
turn by Monday morning or their places
Will be filled by other men. After Monday
all the stables will be "open," and will be
conducted that basis hereafter.
Lack Of legal evidence on which to found
an injunction has caused livery owners to
abandon plan for beginning court action
to restrain their striking employees. I'm
less Chicago Union Transfers consent to
the formation of permanent arbitration
board on Wednesday next general strife is
likely to result between them and employ
ers. Every effort is being made by the
Associated leaning Interests to compel the
employees to submit all grievances to the
arbitration board, but great opposition
comes from small unions that want arbi-
tration conducted by representatives of in
dividual unions. s. T. Edwards, a member
of the employers body, who tried to secure
a settlement with the livery drivers, was
told to-day that a settlement not adj
visable until the general arbitration board
was established.
The large employers who hire drivers will
meet union delegates on Wednesday, when
the question of establishing the arbitration
must be settled.
