RUSSIA PLAYS FAST AND
LOOSE WITH FOREIGNERS
They Have No Rights in Man
churian Metropolis-Permitted
There Only on Sufferance.
AMERICAN GOODS TABOO

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-What the Rus
slams nave accomplished at Hardin, the
great inland metropolis of Manchuria, is
told in a report to the State Department by
Mr.. Miller, the American consul at Niu-
Chwang.
Hardin is on the Sungari river, at the
junction of the Manchurian branch of the
Siberian Railway and the Chinese eastern
branch, whence it starts south to Dalny,
Port Arthur being distant from the last
point six hundred miles. Mr.. Miller says
Hardin is destined soon to become the COM
merciaI center of M~anchuria, as it is the
geographical center, and that the city on
all sides, for hundreds of miles, Is sur
rounded with a RICH and productive agri-
cultural country, producing corn, beef, oats,
barley, beans, millet, hemp, tobacco, Vege-
tables and some fruits. The vicinity also
aboundS in minerals, timber and large areas
of grazing lands. OF the administration of
this metropolis Mr.. Miller says:
1T is as distinctly a Russian city as
though il were located in the heart of Rus
STA, and none but Russians and Chinese are
permitted to own land, construct buildings
or engage in any prominent enterprise. The
city has been created by the Russian gov
eminent under the management OF the Man
churian Railway Company. The land for
many miles in each direction has been Sc
cured against foreigners, who are not rec
ognized as having any rights whatever, but
are permitted there merely ON Sufferance.
With a population in 1901 of 1900 Harbin,
by the census of last year, showed a popu-
latiOn of 1900, exclusive of soldiers, only
seven hundred being foreigners. There are
no Americans. The city has elegant adj
ministration buildings, railway shops cost
ing over a million dollars, hospitals, COM
mercial, technical, Russian and Chinese
schools, clubs, hotels and a bank, repre-
senting a total investment, in buildings
alone, of SIS, 45e, O00. The capital of the fore
most enterprises is furnished by Siberian
Jews.
Hardin was started primarily as a mill
tary center and an administrator tow
for the government and direction of rail
way affairs. It's marvellous commercial de-
VelOpment was an afterthOught. Consul
Miller, in conclusion, says:
when you see the great flour mills, con-
tinually charging and increasing in num-
Der; when you see the numerous breweries
being constructed; when you see Russian
engines and German, Austrian and Danish
machinery and products, and hear of the
successful development of Russian lumber
mills and the introduction of Russian cot
ton goods, and see in the Chinese stores
Russian oil and cigarettes where before
were American, and where you hunt with
straining eyes to find something from the
United States, one is not seriously i'm
pressed with the statement that under Rus
sian occupation our imports into Manchu.

SENTIMENTS or ITO
TOWARDS AMERICANS

TOXIC, Feb. 15.-Marquis Ito to-day gave
the Associated Press a written expression
of his sentiments toward the American peo-
pie as follows:
1T is with profound satisfaction that I
patty with which the free-thinking people
Of your great Nation seem 10 watch the
present crisis. In my opinion IL was eyi-
dent that Russia's high-handed attitude
toward the harmony of the East, combined
with her recent strenuous military efforts
hereabouts, has been becoming a daily men
ace TO our future safety and peaceful exist
ence. Either 10 enter into a cordial and
durable understanding with her. clearly de-
filming and mutually recognizing the re
spective spheres OF interests and binding
her thereby to a certain amount OF self
restraint in the future. or else TO have re-
course 10 measures Tor safeguarding our
future independence ere IL was TOO late
was the drastic dilemma from which ne
could not onger escape.
I'VE have tried our best to obtain our
object by the first alternative. and we have
sacrificed much energy and time and many
opportunities for the sake OF peace. Hav-
ing failed. however. there remains no other
way for US but TO stand zap in defense OF
our own future safety and our own future
undisturbed enjoyment of the fruits OF
peace and civilization. No trace OF race
prejudices. no smack Of revenge. OF chau-
Vinism, nothing but the cool reason Of state
necessity and of MISREPRESENTATION influenced
Japan's action. The rest We leave TO the
impartial judgment OF civilized nations,
which in the course of their past history
must have had many experiences or noble
struggle i'm defense of the honor and safety
of their countries.

my thanks once more for all the cordial
hospitality shown me during my soJOurn

Socialist Party, Which Holds Bal
ance of Power, Wants the
Treaty Denounced.
SPEECH BY M. JAURES

PARIS, Feb. 15.-M. Jaures, leader of
the Socialist party (Which holds the bal
ance of power in P~arliament), until recent
ly vice president of the Chamber, has made
a declaration contemplating the immediate
denunc1atiOn of the F-ranco-Russian al
lance, which has attracted a great deal Of
attention i'm diplomatic circles. The decla-
ration was made at st. Etienne, where the
Socialist congress is sitting.
According to the ST. Etienne Tribune. the
Socialist organ in that city, Jaures said:
ELAPSED years. past events and experience
have demonstrated that Germany. from
which aggression was to be expected. does
not wish for war. Experience shows that
the alliance with Russia, which had been
directed, above all, first against Germany,
has lost the reasons Tor its existence"
According to the Petit Republique, a So
cialist paper of Paris, Mr.. Jaures said: do
nothing which will provoke Japan and moth
ing which will provoke England. and then
denounce the alliance that has become Ian
gerous. Let US defend ourselves"
French politicians recognize that there is
considerable difference between the st.
Etienne Tribune's report and that of the
Petit Republique, but whatever were NJ.
Jarues's exact words. his condemnation Of
the Franco-Russjan alliance will have a
decided bearing should it become necessary
for France 10 be placed in the position of
having to decide or not TO support Russia.

SENATOR HANNA.

The death Of Senator Hanna will cause
a shock throughout the country. 1t seems
but yesterday that he was one Of She most
talwart figures in business and political
circles. Only a few weeks ago, at Column
bus, o.. he was the marshal of political
forces and the modest recipient of political
hOnors in circumstances that seemed to
portend for him long life. His cutting
down has been very sudden and has de-
cannot well afford 10 lose.
Senator Hanna represented the school Of
modern American craftsmanship. He was
a business man for many years before he
entered politics He was a practical rather
than an academic statesman. He was not
ashamed to have it understood that he
represented the commercial spirit of the
age and the commercial interests of the
United States. AS a business man he saw
that this was the dominant idea of the
twentieth century and he cheerfully
adopted it. His influence in the labor world
as a large employer and friend of con-
ciliatory methods was distinctly for good.
When he first entered politics he was
unknown except as a successful business
man and a large employer of labor. Be-
cause he had prospered in business he was
represented by cartoonists as a worshiper
OF money, an oppressor of the poor and a
tyrant among his employees. The very
opposite was true. Senator Hanna was sue
cessful in business because he was a nat
ural captain of industry, but as an en-
ployer he was exceptionally kind, consid-
crate and just. His employees will be among
his most sincere mOurners.
The world does not know much of any
mans private life, but Senator Hanna had
become a great figure in public life, and
was easily the foremost man in the Senate
in the variety of his knowledge concerning
the great business interests of the country
and in his grasp Of matters relating to
them. Such men are needed in public life,
and until a very short time ago there was
reason to believe the country might have
the benefit of Senator Hanna's services for
many years yet.
1t would hardly be amiss to say that the
only sentimental side of character Senator
Hanna ever showed was his love for Nc
Kinley. The affection between the two
men was remarkable and equally creditable
to both. History affords few instances OF
closer friendship or more affectionate re-
lations between two public men.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing In
Senator Hanna's career was the manner in
which he lived down and put under his
feet the attacks made upon him in the
campaign of 1896. Those attacks were the
most vicious and violent ever made on any
American in public life. His offense was
being the friend and hacker of William Nc
Kinley. For this he was caricatured and
cartooned from one end of the country to
another as a friend and ally of Satan. He
did not reply to the attacks, but he lived
them down. He did not resort to vituper-
alton, he simply pointed to the record.
His death is more than a loss to the Re
publican party. 1t is a loss TO the Nation
and to the forces that make for good gov

MR. TAGGART PICKS THE NOMINEE.

While in st. Louis making arrangements
for the Indiana delegation at the Demo-
cratic national convention, our esteemed
fellow-citizen and brother journalist,
Thomas Taggart, submitted to an interview
regarding the Democratic candidate for
President. Having been thoughtful enough
to take his key along with him. he let the
reporter in on the ground floor of party
secrets.
Mr.. Taggart admitted to the reporter that
he could as certainly name the nominee as
he can write his own name, but that he
must decline to say who it would be. When
he was asked what were Senator Germans
chances he replied in a mysterious manner,
What made you mention his name?" Now.
that may mean two or three things, ac-
cording as one emphasizes it. 1t might
mean that German was the very man Mr..
Taggart had in mind, and that the inter-
viewer had guessed right the first time. or
it might mean that his name was not to be
considered at all. Mr.. Taggart let it go at
that.
When asked how about Senator Cockrill.
of Missouri, Mr.. Taggart rather lodged the
question, saying he would not dare TO OPP
pose Senator Cockrill in his own State, and
he would not like to complicate matters
by declaring for him as the nominee. He
was equally noncommittal as to other per-
sons who were named, but he went so far
as to say that the person he had in mind
was not a dark horse. at will be a man., >"
said Mr.. Taggart, that is right in front
to-day His last word was that he could
name the nominee with absolute certainty.
He might have given the reporter a pointer
by telling him that the nominee will be a
natural-born citizen of the United States
and not less than thirty-fve years old.
1t is hardly fair for reporters to prod
Mr.. Taggart in that way regarding future
events that have been revealed to him under
pledge of secrecy. BY a slip of the tongue
he might let the secret out, and then the
convention would become a purely per-
functOry affair.

UNOFFICIAL ACCOUNT
Of THE BATTLE FOUGHT
OFF PORT ARTHUR FEb.9
First Report Received at St.
Petersburg That Was Not Sent
Out by AleXieff.
JAPANESE SHIPS STRUCK
Further Details of the Chemulpo
Engagement = Dispute Over
Who Fired the First Shot.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 15-The first I'M
official account of the battle off Port Ar
thur on Tuesday last has been received in a
telegram dated Port Arthur, Feb. 3. 1t
follows:
1880 o'clock this morning a Japanese
squadron of fifteen vessels began the bonn
bardment of Port Arthur. Our squadron
and fortresses replied and the battle lasted
forty minutes.
THE Japanese squadron could not stand
the well-placed first fire of our fleet, and
particularly of the forts. and began a rapid
retirement. The Japanese flagship was
seriously damaged, and according to the
testimony of an eyewitness. five other
Japanese ships were considerably injured.
Boats belonging to the port report that they
saw two Japanese vessels sinking at sea.
"Our losses afoat were two officers
wounded, one so slightly that he continued
fighting, six men killed and ifty-four
wounded. In the forts two men were slight
ly wounded.
The commandment of the forts and town
did no damage, but frightened the inhab-
itants. AT intervals during the night firing
was heard at sea-"
The dispatch adds that the temper of the
army and navy is excellent, and that the
bulletins circulated by the Novycrai have
begun to tranquillize the people. No at
tempts have been made by the japanese to
land on the peninsula.
THE repairs to the ships damaged by the
torpedo attack are proceeding rapidly
Captain Beliaief, of the Korletz, writing
to relatives Jan. 9, said: Il am ready to
go TO sea at any minute. From day to day
we have been expecting a fight with the
Japanese. We expect sudden attacks with
out a previous declaration of war. The
wooden fittings are being taken ashore. We
have no armor; our strength is only in the
guns and the courage of our men. We
Russians often depend on courage and the
outcome is all right. 1t may happen that IL
will not fail US now. 1 shall do all possible,
If they send us to the bottom say a good
word for u.s."

RUSSIANS LOCKED IN
CABIN OF THE VARIAG

SEOUL, Feb. 1O.-(Delayed in transmits
sion. 1.-The Russian consul at Chemulpo is
now guarded by Japanese troops. To-day
all the other Russians in the city have
been ordered into one large house where
they will be detained, awaiting action of
the authorities as to their disposal. The
Russian minister at Seoul has been re-
quested by the Japanese minister, through
a Neutral legation, to withdraw, and he has
consented to do so. He will probably leave
Seoul tomorrow.
There are now on board the French cruiser
PaschaI PA Russians, of whom two COM
manders, fourteen officers and thirty-one
men are wounded. Six wounded men have
already died.
1t is now known that the Russian cruiser
Variag had forty men and one officer, a
count, killed during the recent engage
shipman named NirOn, and not Muro, as
stated enormously in a previous dispatch.
The Variag had sixty-four men wounded,
among them Captain Rudenf, who was in
command of the cruiser. His wounds are
not considered serious. The Russian dead,
with the exception of the young officer who
fell on the bridge, We're locked up in the
cabin when the Nariag went down..
Several men were seen on board the
Korietz. it is said, al instant before she
blew up.
nt COlllliliSSiOiltl VI CuoiOlifS dl OuelIluiDO
has protested against an alleged breach of
neutrality on the part of the Japanese. The
Russians say the Japanese fired first, dis
patching two torpedoes at the Korietz when
she tried to leave the harbor on the Sth. The
Japanese claim in turn that the Korietz
fired first.
There is no news of the arrival of any
more Russian troops in Korean territory
and Seoul remains quiet. The japanese have
demanded the use of several government
buildings in this city to be used as bar
racks for the troops.
On the English and Italian cruiser are a
number of Russian refugees, just how many
is not Known. Only the wounded are on
the British vessel.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1904-02-16

Much attention is being paid to Russia's
Black sea fleet, but it is hardly worthy
the press attention it is receiving. Six of
the eight battleships of which it consists
are from ten to seventeen years old, and Of
the others one was built in 1895 and one in
1899. Two are rated at about 1850 tons
each, four at a little over 10000 tons and the
other two at a little less than 1900 tons
each. Armament and speed are so widely
at variance as to forbid their operation as a
unit. Being constructed solely with a view
TO operations in the Black sea, their radii
of action are small. Two could travel g.
$50 knots at a speed of ten knots an hour on
their maximum coal capacity. None of the
others could make anything like such a
journey without fuel replenishment. Three
are believed to be unseaworthy ON account
of tremendous armor and armament weight,
and two only are believed to be capable of
service. Thus, even should Russia be per-
mitted to move them-or should she force
their way-through the Dardanelles. they
are hardly to be considered as an important
factor in the naval equation.

There is a true nobility and unselfshness
TO be admired in a man who will go to any
lengths to save his dear ones trouble and
worry or even slight annoyance; but ii
has remained for an Indiana man to carry

questionable. A man residing in Marion

A city contemporary has a story that at
the beginning OF the civil war the British
authorities detained three American ships
loaded with saltpetre TO make powder with
and refused to release them until after a
spirited correspondence by cable had passed
between Minister Adams and Secretary
Seward The text of Secretary Seward
alleged dispatch is given. and the story
fays: Adams communicated the cable to
the British government and inside of half
an hour Lord PaImerston. the premier,
drove TO the American minister's house. an
nouncing that the ships were released. that
the whole hin was n mistake" As there
was no Atlantic cable in operation till 1866
the story seems rather lame. Perhaps the
alleged dispatches were sent by grapevine.
