 For the time there is profound depres- sion among the friends of Senator Han ma, the friends of his own party who had fondly looked upon him as the one man who could save 1t from the disaster pro- voked by the blundering career of the Roosevelt administration.
 Naturally. grief over the last hope ex- tinguished and regard for the proprieties of the soiemn hours before the body q their. absolutely trusted leader was faid to rest, restrains expressions as to effect of Hanna's death upon the immediate fortunes of the Republican party. But today when local papers. along with the columns of matter relating to the life and character of the dead man. contained chapter evidently inspired at the White House that nothing but trust and friend ship existed between Senator Hanna and the President. there was heard many q word of sccrn for so paipabiy untrue q representation.
 The feeling of the friends of the ohio Senator who read the story of friend ship and fidelity between Hanna and Roosevelt was the common saying: 'Mr. Hanna is dead. He cannot speak for himself"
 Opinion of New York Sun.
 Today appeared in The New York Sun an editorial which is being widely read as representing better than anything that has yet appeared the facts with the real feeling of khe Hanna following.
 The edtterial after an earnest eulogy of the character of the man and his great force aa factor of unequR1led aasacity in Republican counseis. has this to say:
 ..fIis death was peace with what has become a household word in mems mouths- Roosevelt Luck But Is only just to say that there are few who will more sincerely depiore. or who should more sincerely deplore. his takink off than win the President himself. He wss the only man in his party who had the strength of will and the force of charae- ter. the unselfshness and the patriotism, to act as an effective hfaIEe upon that mans headlong course.
 Hanna Stood fin Way.

Report of e Battle at Kinchau.
 London. Feb. 17.--In a despatch dated Port Arthur, Feb. 13. a correspondent of The Times gives a description of seven Russian warships which he says are lying disabled there. They include the battIeships sevastopol and PetropaxiovslS which have not been named in previous reports of the action.
 The correspondent says that altogether eleven Russian ships were put out of action at Port Arthur. Continuing. he declares that the Japanese were driven from the neighborhood of Kinchau near New Chwang after skirmish in which 150 Japanese were taken prisoners and seventy Russians killed.
 In an editorial article, The Times re- marks that as this correspondent does not mention the injuries sustained by the battleships and as the Kinchau story has not been reported from any other source, 1t would be well to accept his reports with some reserve.

Believed Japanese May Not Attack
 on the Yalu.
 London. Feb. is.--It is said that Great Britain is about to appoint consuls at Antung and Mhkden.
 According to special dispatches pub lished here this morning from Antung. the Russian squadron has returned to Yladivostocis.
 The Toixio correspondent of The Daily Mail says that two Russian warshlps appeared of olxi Island, in the southern part cf' the Japanese sea. Sunday.
 The correspondent at Chemulpo of The Daily Express makes the. astonishing statement that Japan has already landed 12O,ooo troops in Korea. s0.0Oc of whom al e extended along the fighting front south of the Yalu River. .,.-
 ; No war news of importance appeared in the London newspapers this morning, but the press attaches the greatest sig nlficance to the departure of viceroy AL exieff from Port Arthur and comments upon the sudden throwing of Russian troops into New Chwang as indicating Russian apprehensions that Port Arthur is In danger and that the Japanese at- tack may not, after all. be made whei c 1t is expected. on the Yaiu River.
 All the reports tend to confirm the iT1i- precision that Russia has little or no.h- ing to expect from sea operations.
 According to a dispatch to the Paris edition of The New York Herald. AO0 tor pedoeg. being two-thirds of Russia's en- tiss avaiiable, supply ssof these articles, were destroyed. on board the Russian cruiser wariag Ak Chemnlpo.
 The Tolxio correspondent of The Daily Chronicle cablee that It Is stated officially fRaf aavarai thf4siaat,d Riiagfan froons have reached Antung.s and that it is rtt- irf0red that 20.Dg0 Russiahs have arrived at Ping Yang on the TatonE River in Central Korea. -s --.- ....-.

REPLIES FROM POWERS.
All tho Nations Except Russia Have
 Made Answer.

Washington, Feb. 1s.-secretary Hay today received responses from Austria Hungary and from Portugal 70 his neutrality note, the reply in each case amounting to an acceptance of the prip- efpal laid down by the secretary as to localization of the struggle and neutrali- sstion of China. This completes the list of answers from all of the powers ad- dressed on the subject with the single exception of Russia.
 As to a reference in one of the Euro psan dispatches to q secendsnote to the powers from the United States relative to neutrality. # is exhlaaBed at the state Department that this note <els nothing more than the text falready spublishedl of the note to Japan and Russia, which Secretary Hay in hts flsDe note had in- formed the powers he was about to dis. patch. |.
 Although unofiicially advised of the arrival at Che Foo of the American ship Pleiades from Port Arthur, where she had been under detention, the State De- partment has directly learned that the vessel brought away with her the one hundred Japanese who had been up to that time prevented from leaving.

Landing Is Denied.

St. Petersburg. Feb. GA dispatch re- ceived here from Port Arthur dated Feb ruary 15, denies that Japan is landing at Thin Wang Yao, a port on the southern border of Manchuria, close to the Chinese northern railroad. The sea there Is cov- cred with ice for a distance of fourteen miles from the shore and this would make landing extremely difficult. No Japanese have been seen on the YaIu river. The Japanese are landing provisions and nnu- nitions of war at Wonsan, on the east coast of Korea and north of Seoul.

 The request was refused The British launched a protest to the captain imme- dIately before the action The Americans present refrained from attending the na- val conference or partaking in the de- monstration, although some of the Rus sian wounded were received on board the United States gunboat Vieksburg.
 While the Variag was being sunk. her captain, fearing that the Japanese would reach the vessel before she settled down, requested the captain of the Talbot to fire at her water line. This request also Wag refused
