Chemulpo and a further base at Chimpo
Is highly probable.
As soon as the ice breaks up troops
will be established at Ping Yang in suffi-
cient strength to guarantee against
sudden Russian descent. It is believed
that while the sea power of Russia at
Vladivosto ck is intact the Japanese will
not attempt to land on the eastern coast
Of Korea.
AS an evidence Of Japanese intention
1t Is worthy of note that her cruisers
are busy patrolling towards the northeast
cf Korea and that she is not landing
artillery at Chemulpo. Everything sug-
gests an immediate dash for a stragetic
position In northern Korea, the cores
pondent concludes, and it is possible the
Russians are considerably further south
than is supposed.
Fired Upon BY Russians.
Wei Hei Wei, February 22.-'fhe British
steaer Ching Ping, belonging to the Chi
nese Engineering and Mining company.
of Shanghai, has arrived here from Port
Dalny and reports that she was fired
upon by the Russians and was hit seven
times around her water line. Russian
pilot boat was coming up off Port DaIny
to pilot the Ching Ping and was blown up
by mine.

st. Petersburg February 22.-Prince
Khilkoff. minister of railroad communica-
tion, has proceeded for Manchuria from
Irkutsk, after having seen that the rail-
road on the Ice across the lake was com
pleted.
Prince Khilkoff reports that the sibe-
rian railroad is able to move 10000 men
in day to their destination, but that the
transit from the western points to the
far east will require six weeks.

UNITED STATES WILL
INCREASE HER SQUADRON.

Washington, February 22-NavaI Off
cials considering earnestly the
strengthening of the American Asiatic
fleet in view of the vast interests of this
country in the Philippines and China and
in Korea and the probably that disturb
ance may neeessitate their protection al
any time. Al the same time that the
fleet is regarded as too small there is a
desire to avoid exciting the suspicion of
the old world powers, lest this govern
ment may be put in the false light of the
eastern struggle. A high naval officer
said tonight:
'"rhe need OF increasing the Asiatic
fleet has long been felt. 1t was intended
that the new battleship Ohio building ut
the Union Iron Works. San Francisco.
should be sent to the Asiatic station in
the spring and that she be followed there
by the armored cruiser South Dakota and
the protected cruiser Milwaukee as soon
as these vessels are completed.
Not Ready Until Autumn.
The Ohio however, will not be ready
before autumn, and we are now consd-
ering the dispatch within the next month
or two of an additional battleship. 1t has
been suggested that the Iowa be selected
for this mission, but no decision has been
reached. She is now receiving rush re-
pairs at the navy yard
I'm addition the Tacoma, which was
commissioned short time ago, and is
getting ready for sea. has been tentative
ly selected to go to Asiatic waters as the
relief OF one of the vessels of the cruiser
squadron. but under present circum-
stances 1t is probable that none of the
cruiser squadron will be brought home no
matter how many ships are added to it,
1T also has been suggested that the
New York, now at Panama, be returned
TO the Asiatic station, and that she make
the cruise with the Tacoma. This is un-
decided. and the uncertainty of the PAN
anna situation, together with the fact that
the New York Is due for thorough over
hauling, rather initiates against sending
that vessel to join Admiral Evans fleet.
Events Moving Rapidly.
$50 rapidly are events in the far east
moving that 1t is impossible to say one
day what move on the Asiatic station
the next days developments may de-
mand 1t was originally suggested that
the battleship squadron go up to Che
Foo, but this was not approved and an
order was issued for the battleshfps to re-
main in Philippine waters and for the
cruiser squadron to assemble at Shang-
hal.
.sRepairs to the valves Of the Ken
lucky the flagship of the Asiatic station,
however, have necessitated the sending
of that ship to Hong Kong to be docked
and 1t is probable the other ships of the
squadron. the battleships Oregon and
wisconsin. will accompany her. Mean

NEW JERSEY GETS BUSY

Washington. February 22-(special)-
Todays New York Sun prints the fol-
lowing: Thomas Taggart. democratic ma
tional comitteeman from Indiana, and
formerly mayor of indianapolis, who is at
the Hoffman house, said yesterday that
Grover Cleveland could not, If he wanted
to, get the support of Indiana's delega-
ton to the democratic national conven-
ton, and that he would not carry the
state If he was nominated. Indiana, In
Mr.. Taggart's opinion. favors Judge Par
ker.
Mr. Cleveland" said the Indianapolis
man, has many personal friends in In
diana, but he could not carry the state.
The feeling against his last administra-
tion is too strong. Indiana democrats this
year are for the success Of the party
first, last and always Old differences
have been called off. and the party is IN
a position to make a winning fight If no
plumbers are made.

Petition to Senator Fairbanks.

A special from Indianapolis to the Star
says:
"The latest thing in Indianapolis poll
tics is the petitioning Of Senator Fair
banks by several Indiana republicans,
who ask that he be a candidate for Vice
president and that he put an end to vice
presidential talk. Mr.. Fairbanks friends
here do not want him to run for vice
president because they believe that If
he keeps out of presidential water this
year, either In the first or second place.
he may dive In four years hence and take
first place without much opposition.
"They argue that as things now look
he will be the acknowledged leader of the
party at that time and that he may be
leader of the senate in the meantime. At
least he is expected to stand high In sena-
torial work In the next four years"

Toxic. February 22-It is reported here
that Vice Admiral Togo has again at
tackled Port Arthur. 1t is impossible to
oonfrm the statement, but the navy de-
nartment says it has had no news from
Togo today. 1t is probable that the vice
admiral has made another attack on the
Russians, as he is engaged In blockading
Port Arthur.

london. February 22.-The Nagasah
oorrespondent of the Daily Telegraph,
cabling under date of February 10, reports
that the japanese squadron has captured
four Russian torpedo boats at Port Ar
thur by using Russian signals. This dis
patch appears to confirm reports from
various quarters of "a fresh attack on
Port Arthur by the Japanese
rhe report reached Nagasaki from Che
Foo and 1t adds that the Russian crews
Of the four torpedo boats have been trans
ferred.
No other news of the attack has been
received in London but the Che Foo cor
respondent of the Morning Post in a dis
patch dated February % says the state
ment is current there that the japanese
torpedo boat destroyers in the attack on
February IA, sunk or damaged two Rus
sian batteships in addition to the tor
pedo boats already reported. 1t is possi-
bic therefore that the report of the Tele-
graphs Nagasaki correspondent refers
to the former attack
Aexieff Has Retired.
Viceroy Alexieff's retirement is now an
accomplished fact and correspondent of
the Associated Press cables that Port
Arthur is strictly a naval stronghold and
the forts are being manned by naval gum
ners. Only twenty foreigners are now at
Port Arthur and they are traders dis
posing of their goods
Some of them are under suspicion and
there is likelihood of their being arrested.
There are many complaints of unwarant-
ed arrests, unexplained expulsion and de-
famation of character by the Port Arthur
police. A dispatch to the Daily Mail
from Hong Kong says British squadron
Is concentrating there and that a cor
responding French concentration of war
ships is occurring at Saigon, Indo China.
This is supposedly result of the Anglo
French understanding. According to
Nagasali correspondent of the Daily Tel
egraph an American squadron, the vessels
of which are variously reported at Chez
Foo and Shanghai, is going to make a
demonstration at the mouth of the Yalu
river.

Pledged to No Candidate.


LAS yet the state has pledged Itself to

feeling in favor of Parker and German
than any other men who have been
talked of as presidential possibilities VI
the two Parker is a more general faVor-
lite.
There Is no doubt" Mr.. Taggart said,
that the delegation from Indiana Will

Indiana would produce candidate. Inc

recent statement that he would rather
vote for Booker Washington than for
Grover Cleveland and that he would go
to iail rather than vote for Booker WASH
ington, struck the key note of the New
Jersey factionists Mr.. Cochran said this
morning:
II have been making inquiries and am
assured that the democrats of New Jer-
sew will not stand for Clevelandism. He
will be opposed on the ground of irregu-
larity. and the democrats who voted the
ticket In 1895 and 1900 deny that he Is a
democrat This doesn't mean that any
effort Is going to be made to Introduce

money question Is not an issue. The night
