Russian Officials at vladivostock Can.
not Resist Attack.

Toxic, Feb 1.-THE German steam.
er Batavia has isst reached Moji with
$500 Japanese refugees on board, in
at Vladiyostoch. The latter reports
frozen up at that port unable to move.
The commander of the garrison and
the local authorities at Vladivostock
called on the departing agent and COM
planned that the japanese had opened
hostilities without having declared
war.
When news Of the opening of the
war reached f!aaivos.ock the squad
ron there was hastily repainted and
cleared for action, leaving port on the
afternoon of Feb. 9. He believed that
It returned 10 Vladivostock after sink
Ing the Lakonoura Maru.
There are no torpedoes nor mines
sunk at Vladivostock and the place Is
totally unprepared to resist attack.
Massing Of troops on the north bank
OF the Yalu continues, the Russians
evidently believing that the Japanese
intend to make their main attack
there with the object in view of fore
Ing their way through the Russian
lines and destroying the railway, there
by cutting OFF all communication with
Port Arthur and Vladivostock. The
Japanese are again agitating the con-
struction of the Seoul-Wiju railway
and great quantities of material used
on the Fusan-Seoul railway are avail
able. In the event of a prolonged war
railway between these points would
be of immense advantage.

All Ardent Mckinley Man.

Mr.. Hanna was one of the first thor.
oughly to appreciate this and he at
tended the convention in Minneapolis
In 1892 chiefly as an OnloOker inter-
eSted in the mastery manner in which
Mr.. Mckinley presided over the gath
ering. At this convention he saw the
denomination OF President Harrison
and the rejection of Mr.. Blaine and
witnessed for the second time bal
lot taken tor Mckinley against the
latter's protest.
It was then that he fully realized the
sweep Of the tide toward Mckinley
and the principle Of a protective tariff
which he represented. From that hour
he threw himself heart and soul into
the work Of crystallizing into prac-
teal form this sentiment for McKin-
ley. Mr.. Hanna held persistently to
his self-appointed task until, in the
spring of 1895, he finally essayed the
task Of securing Mckinley delegates
tor the national convention held in St.
Louis the following year. How thor
oughly success crowned his splendid
efforts by the sweeping nomination Of
the man who became his hero needs
no recounting.
1t was only by the strongest per-
sonal effort that President Mckinley
prevailed upon him to become a candi-
date for the senate to fill the vacancy
caused by the selection of John Sher-
man as secretary of state. In 1897 he
was appointed United States senator
by Governor Bushnell OF Ohio and to
this seat he was elected in 1898 for
both the short and long terms and in
January of this year was reelected.

Japanese Minister Says Russia Did
Not Desire War.

Berlin, Feb. 1.-THE Lokal Anzei-
ger publishes an interview with jap
ancse Minister Kurino. who left St.
Petersburg a few days ago. Mr.. Ku-
rinO declares he was convinced Rus
STA did not desire war; that is to say
the government at St. Petersburg did
not wish it,; neither did Japan.
"When hostilities were at last
opened" he said, "it was directly due
to the action of Admiral Alexieff. BY
his ostentatious preparations for war
he rendered war inevitable"
Mr.. Kurinc affirmed that the vice
roy never delivered the last note to
the Japanese government and the min
lister says he had not the slightest in
formation as to what the note con-
tained.
"As to the duration of the war;
said the minister, that is a matter
the military experts alone can settle.
In conclusion Mr.. Kurino expressed
the belief that France will not inter
fere in the conflict.
But if she does," he added, Eng
land can be depended upon to stand
by the Japanese"

PROGRESSING RAPIDLY.
Work Of Repairing Vessels Damaged
at Port Arthur.

Port Arthur, Feb. 1.-THE work OF
repairing the damaged Russian battle
ships is progressing rapidly. The Chi
nese workmen were panic stricken by
the bombardment, but they are now
working well, regardless Of the ap-
proach OF the Chinese New Year.
Investigation shows that the city
and fortress We're wholly undamaged
by the japanese attack. The people,
naturally, are anxious and business is
at complete standstill, but the Ut.
most tranquility prevails.
After the religious services Sunday
there was a military review before the
yiceroy, Admiral Alexieff, who de-
nounced the action of the Japanese as
bar5arous and expressed confidence
that the Russian soldiers would fully
avenge themselves.
Reports from the interior indicate
that the Cossacks are mobilizing with
great enthusiasm. In the Amour dis.
trict they are riding in squads from
village to village, waving Russian
flags and demanding an early chance
to meet the enemy.

Demurrer 0vERRuLED
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
DECIDES SENATOR BURTON
MUST STAND TRIAL.

st. Louis, Feb. 17.-Judge Adams, in
the United States district court, has
overruled the demurrer of United
States Senator Joseph R. Burton Of
Kansas 10 the indictment charging
him with accepting money for using
his influence in preventing the issu-
ance of fraud order against the Rial
to Grain and Securities company.
The trial of Senator Burton was set
for March %. A panel Of sixty jurors
has been ordered for that date. Both
Senator Burton and Major Dennis,
president of the Rialto Grain and Se-
curities company, were in court.
The indictment grew out of the
troubles of the Rialto Grain and Sc
curities company when that concern
had difficulty with the United States
postof1ice department and further use
Of the mails was denied it. 1t is
charged that for $500 per month Sen
ator Burton was to use his influence
to have the embargo removed.
In fling the demurrer to the indict-
ment the defendant contended that the
postmaster did not have the authority
to forbid the Rialto company the use
Of the mails or to issue fraud order.
Also that there was no substantial
charge of fraud at the time. Both of
these questions were dismissed by
Judge Adams with the remark that he
was not impressed with them. The
question as to whether the United
States was interested in the case
called for a more extended opinion.
but Judge Adams held that it was in
terested. He then ordered the case
to be tried March %.
