RUSSIAN TRANSPORTS
THROUGH BOSPHORUS

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 1.-TWO large
vessels belonging to the Russian volunt
feet, carrying troops. passed through the
Bosphorus to-day bound for the far East.
1t was announced in a dispatch from
Paris, Jan. Z. that newspaper of that
city had received a dispatch from Con-
stantinople saying that Russia was negoti-
ating with Turkey TO permit her Black
sea fleet to pass through the Dardeneliss.
The announcement alarmed the Japanese
government and the authorities at Toxic
instructed the Japanese minister at Lon
don TO make inquiries on the subject there.
The British Foreign Office. however, had
not heard that Russia asked Turkeys per-
mission. and the British officials were not
inclined TO think Russia would raise such
q question in Europe at the present time,
not only in view of the far Eastern crisis
Balkans.
In September, 1902. Turkey allowed Russia
to send four torpedo-boat destroyers
through the Dardenelles In spite OF the
treaties closing the straits to the passage
of .warships of all countries. Great Britain
addressed a vigorous protest upon the sub
ject TO Turkey and announced that she
reserved the right 20 demand similar priv
ileges for her warships should occasion

These words in a conversation, resulted
in Ballard's hasty departure from the home.
He was closely guarded TO the gates by the
authorities, but once outside was forced 10
run for his life. There were many old COM
rades of William Mckinley among the en-

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. H.-"T desire
and intend TO do all in my power to main
tain peace in the far East"
These were the words which the Car
spoke TO the members OF the diplomatic
corps at the Russian New Years reception
held I'm the winter palace at noon to-day.
The Car made a leisurely round OF the
great white hall, with its beautiful colon
nades, in which the representatives OF the
various countries had assembled. His
Majesty chatted freely with everybody and
at considerable length with several OF the
diplomats.
Keen curiosity was exhibited all over the
room when his Majesty approached Mr..
Kurino. the Japanese minister 10 Russia.
The conversation between the Gar and
minister was cordial and extended. His
Majesty emphasized the high value which
he places upon the good and neighborly
relations between Japan and Russia, not
only now, but in the future. and expressed
his unshaken hope that a mutually salts
factory settlement OF the difficulties be-
tween the two countries would be arranged.
Minister Kurino left the reception profound
ly impressed with his Majesty's words.
1t had become known here through the
Foreign Office that Count Cassini, the Rus
sian ambassador to the United States. had
been instructed TO assure the United States
government that Russia would not inter-
pose objections to the commercial treaty
between China and the United States or
impede American rights interests in
Manchuria. His Majesty referred TO these
instructions in a lengthy conversation with
Ambassador Mccormick and laid much
stress on his desire that Russia and the
United States should live terms OF inti-
mate and cordial friendship which had ex-
listed for so many years. and which he es-
pecially wished to maintain. He emphat-
ically disclaimed the slightest inclination
to hinder the development of American
commerce.
Ambassador Mccormick inquired
corning the Czarina and in turn learned
that her recovery was proceeding and that
no concern was felt regarding her condi-
tion.
Mr.. Kurino,-the japanese minister. in
formed the Associated Press correspondent
that the Japanese reply had been handed
to Baron De Rosen, the Russian minister
at Toxic, and that he (Mr. Kurino) would
present Count Lamsdorff, the Russian for
eign minister with duplicate copy. The
minister said he was not authorized TO state
the terms of the reply, but that IL insured
the continuance OF negotiations concerning
the far East so far as Japan was con-
cerned.

PARKER AND SH|VELY MAY
Be DEMOCRATIC TICKET
Senator Arthur Pue German Is
Said to Have Eliminated Him
self from the Race.
WANTS TO UNITE PARTY
And Catch Both Cleveland and
Bryan VoterS-Interview with
Mr.. Shively.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-the Brooklyn Eagle
prints the following story from Baltimore
to-day:
I'm this seat of Senator Arthur Pue Cor
mans influence, where the plans of that un-
communicative leader are often first known.
it is stated that Parker and Shively is the
ticket which the Democratic party is most
likely to put in the field for President and
Vice President this year
Indiana brought the Shively boom for
Vice President Eastward to the meeting of
the national committee in Washington on
Tuesday. Senator German has influence
with Indiana Democrats who Joined inter-
ests with the Parker Democrats at New
York.
Senator German has practically elimi-
mated himself from the presidential race.
This statement is made on the authority of
his own party followers hailing from i'm
portant Western. Southern and Eastern
States. Mr.. German has In fact, arrayed
himself on the side of the Democratic lead
ers who demand compromise between the
radical and conservative branches of the
party organization He advises abandon
ment OF the monetery issue and conserva-
have the Democrats endeevor to restrain
the President In foreign affairs.
He believes the presidential candidate
should be a Democrat who has gone to no
extreme in Clevelandism or Organism. He
wants the Cleveland votes in the East and
the Bryan votes In the West. He believes
that Judge Parker meets these assumed es-
sentials Of unification and that he will be
stronger than himself any other man
who might be named in New York, Indiana,
New Jersey and Connecticut. His theory
of the approaching campaign is TO meet
Republicanism on all the old battle grounds
and with all the old weapons, and to oppose
Mr.. Roosevelt, If he is the Republican nomi-
nee, with a candidate who will invite the
support of the conservative business men.
These are the reasons that incline Mr.. Cor
man toward Judge Parker.
Mr.. Shively, when asked about his can
didacy for Vice President, said: L believe
it would be much better for the Indiana
delegation not TO present any candidate In
the convention. l am not candidate.
OF course l appreciate the compliment OF
the suggestion that has been made, but
am entirely Indifferent to the candidacy it
self
What will the Democrats of Indiana
do this year?
They will probably carry the State.
They are almost certain TO carry il If Presi-
dent Roosevelt is nominated by the Repub-
licans. The President is very weak with
conservative business Republicans and with
the Republican labor votes. The Indiana
Republican organization is hostile to him.
but it will probably accept him in the alb
sence of a safe alternative
