 JAPtFLEET NOT ALL THERE. X
 Che Foo, May B (5:30 D. .)-The captain of a Russian merchantmen, who left Port Arthur on May 20 and is among the recent arrivals from Da1ny says in an interview that the whole of the Japanese fleet had not returned to Port Arthur since the 10th instant when, besides the battleship Hatsuse another big vessel struck a mine and was lowed away disabled. Gunboats and torpedo boats returned off the port on the 20th instant, when the Russians succeeded in sinking a small gunboat and two torpedo boats. The Russians are now confident of holding Port Ar thur with the 30,O00 men stationed there, exclusive of the navy and the crowd of mechanics working on the damaged warships, all of which ex- cept the Czarewitch and the Retvizan are ready to rejoin the fleet. These will also be ready for sea service by June l.
 ale entrance to the harbor has been cleared and small boats now pass ill and out freely from Port Arthur to Dalny.
 The forts on the land side of Port Arthur have been completed and are now prepared for a severe contest.
 Of the few soldiers left at Dalny the majority have gone to Port Arthur, and the only defenses left there now are the mines in the haTbor.
 The attempt of the Japanese to land troops in the Kin Gnu gulf on the 18th Instant failed, owing to insufficient water to float the boats.
 There has been no fighting in the vicinity of Port Arthur up to Satur- day since the Kin Chau fight on the 4 10th instant. when two squadrons of X Japanese cavalry were wiped out, only eight men of whic escaped.
 Several unsuccessful attempts were made by the Japanese to land troops at Talienwan last week. it is said Or the way over passengers on the junk just arrived heard firing in the direction of Port Arthur last night
 The Japanese have reported to the consuls here that a wreck in the Liao Tung gulf is dangerous to navigation and 1t is possible that this is the other ship said to have been damaged at Port Arthur on the 18th instant, as the Japanese fleet is known to have en- tered the gulf after the disaster to the Hatsuse.

DALNY NOT ATTACKED.

Che Foo, May 23,, 4 p. m.-Forty Russians who left Dalny yesterday (Sunday) arrived here to-day. Up to the date of their departure, Dalny had not been attacked by the enemy. Ac- cording to their account the Japanese troops met with a reverse at Kin Chau on the 18th instant, but the Rus sians failed to regain control of the railway. They are positive that an other Japanese war vessel was dam aged at the time the battIeship Hat suse was destroyed Civilians are ill daily expectation of an attack upon Dalny by the Japanese forces and are leaving there on junks.

ARBITRATION CHANGED
TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
Secretary of Chicago Employers
Association Declares Form of
Settlement Now Is Farce.
IS GOOD TO ORGANIZE

Arbitration with labor unions has been
shown by experience to be a farce of the
rankest kind
This is one of the many statements at
lacking labor organizations made by Fred
erick W. Jobs. of Chicago. secretary of the
Chicago Employers Association. in
speech before the meeting of the Employ
ers' Association Of Indianapolis, held at the
Denison Hotel last night
when our association in Chicago was
first formed we stood on a platform of four
planks. One of these was arbitration. This
plank has been changed TO enforcement of
law. Strikers care little for the result of
arbitration unless every demand is granted
In a recent strike at the stOckyards in
my city the engineers wentout. A committee
of three preachers was appointed TO arbi-
trate the trouble. The engineers wanted
an increase of wages of from 40 cents to
80 cents a day. The preachers decided they
should receive an increase of 80 cents a
day. This greatly incensed the engineers
and in spite Of the assurances they gave
of submitting to the decision rendered by
the arbitrators, they refused To return to
work. The preachers thought $1,000 would
just about compensate them for their serv-
ices and sent in the bill. The officers Of
the union got hold of IL and wrote back:
so you think Is cents and 30 cents pay for
a man, do yOu? and the preachers received
a check for $40"
The speaker said 1t would be a good thing

possible. When a fellow-member has trouble
at his plant for the others to help him all
they could. He described the work of the
boycott and told how in BelOit Wis, a year
ago, one of the strongest union towns in the
country, unions had been shorn of their
power.
The Commercial Club came in for some
roasting by the speaker for inviting labor
unions to have their national headquarters
in this city.
He said Indianapolis could have all of
the unions I'm Chicago if II was desired.
Statements like this, TO judge from the APP
plause of the audience, met with approval.
Two or three members of the Commercial
Club. who were present, did not appear to
relish the roasting of the club by a
stranger, but said nothing.

day from weeks trip to Washington and
New York. He went to Washington. in

While in Washington the Governor and
Mr.. Harris called on President Roosevelt
and the newspaper reports have II that they
discussed politics. especially Indiana poll
tics, at some length. When the Governor
was asked about the call he smiled as he
replied:
Yes. Mr.. Harris and had very pleas
ant little visit with the President. 1t is
possible that we talked politics a little,
among other things discussed. but really,
never have been able TO remember what Is
said in a private, personal conversation of
that kind"

WILSON DISMISSED ON
CHARGE OF COWARD|CE
Patrolman Does Not Deny Story
that He Ran from Drunken
Man-Makes No Defense.
IS SEVERELY CENSURED

PatrOlman j. w. Wilson, of the city po-
lice department, was discharged from serv
ice at a special meeting of the Board of
Safety last night on a charge of cowardice.
Wilson, ii proved by the evidence
given before the board, ran away from a
drunken man by the name of Milton Cross,
who was holding possession Of the bridge
over the canal at Thirtieth street last Sun
day.
Cross shot at Wilson three times and
Wilson, instead of placing him under arrest,
took refuge in a nearby house and remained
there for over ten minutes He remained
in the house until Cross was subdued by
his brother John, and even then he did not
place him under arrest. Cross, ii was
shown, stood on the bridge for fully half
hour, and, revolver in hand. defed all per-
sons to cross.
Wilson was severely censured for allow
ing so dangerous a man to have his free
dom. The patrolman had little to say for
himself, and admitted that he had remained
in the house for the time specified in the
charges made against him. No one was
appointed to fill Wilson's place, but it is un-
derstood that there are many anxious appli-
cantS.

RUSSIA IN KOREA WOULD
THREATEN ALL COMMERCE
Prof. Fenollosa Believes the Strug-
gle in the East Will Engage
the Whole World.
JAPAN WILL NOT ALLY
In Case of War the Japanese Gov
eminent VIII Give a Good
Account OF Itself.

Russia in possession of Manchuria and
Korea; in a position TO overrun China with
her vast hordes of fighting men, is more of
a menace to the civilized world than the So
called yellow terror.
With the soldiers of the Car occupying
the ports of Korea and China, the com
merce of the nations OF the world would be
threatened.
Japan, in opposing the Russian advance,
is fighting for her very life and civilization.
This is the gist Of the lecture delivered
by Prof. Ernest F. FenolIosa before the
members of the Commercial Club with
their wives and friends, yesterday after
noon. The lecture was given in the assem-
bly, hall Of the club, and the large room was
crowded.
For nearly twenty-five years in the en-
ploy or the japanese government, Professor
FenolloSa has made careful study Of con-
ditons in the far East. He knows Japan
better than the average American knows
MS own country, and ii is doubtful If there
is a better informed man on existing con-
ditions in the East in this country to-day.
That mighty struggle, in which not only
Russia and Japan will grapple, but in which
the nations or the world will be forced TO
engage, is coming, the speaker said The
advance of Russia into Asia has, he said
been watched for years by the European
nations Now that the United States has
bttOiIlt NOIlu power, lHlS country dlSO 10
called upon to protect her interests. The
speaker said that the occupation of the
Philippine islands by the United States was
severe blow to Russia
When 1T has been said that japan will arm
the Chinese and make them allies the speak
er said. the cry has been raised of the yellow
terror This, he said, is nonsense Europe
was never invaded by the Chinese, who are
not a military race, but il was the terrible
Mongols and Huns from central and north
ern Asia who laid waste the fertile plains of
Europe.
To protect themselves from the raids of
their terrible neighbors, the Mongols, the
Chinese erected the great wall of China
hundreds of years before Christ. The Rus
sains of to-day are the descendants of these
dreaded Hun and Mongol warriors Profess
sor Fenollosa said, and the Russian is the
real yellow terror, not the alliance between
Japan and China.
In case of war, and IL seems inevitable, he
said, the Japanese will give good ac-
count of themselves. Unlike their brethren,
the Chinese, the army and navy of Japan
are commanded by native of1cers- The
army and navy of China are in charge of
foreigners, as a rule. The stand taken by
Japan is not only in protection OF her own
interests, but in protection OF civilization.
