TROUBLE
WITH THE ICE.
Warren Keeps Paddle Wheels
Revolving While in Slip TO
Keep from Freezing up.
IN DISTRESS.

All of the crafts in the sound are
having a hard time of it today because
of the heavy ice. Last night on the
1875 trip from this citv, it was i'm
possible for the ferryboat Warren TO
get within three feet Of the dock in
the slip at the Tottenville side, be-
cause of the ice jam.
All Of the trains on the Rapid Tran
sit Railroad were from three quarters
to an hour late, because of the ice in
New York harbor delaying the ferry
boats from New York to st. George.
In one of the trips last night the
WestieId got caught in u field of ice
and it. was all she could do to get out
before crashing into another nearby
craft. The commuters from this city
to New York say that it is a danger
GUS trip across New York harbor and
they are glad when it is over.
When the Warren is in the slip the
paddle wheels kept revolving to keep
the ice from clogging them.
The Lehigh Valley coal barges and
the local docks are having their own
troubles. All day they have drifted
down as far as the New Brunswick
steamboat dock. A tug is now kept
on hand to assist them back to their
moorings as soon as they drift away.
The smaller tugs are having troubles
in plenty and most of them are hug
ging the docks pretty closely and 60
ing out only when compelled, for fear
OF having o hole cut in their bulls.

KOREAN TROOPS MAY NEED CURLING
Trouble Between striking Coolies

Especially If Japan Lands S0k-

WASHINGTON, Jan. Con the rep
resentation of the United States consul
at Seoul, Korea, that American inter
ests at that point were in danger owing
to the trouble between striking coolie
laborers and the Korean troops and
that ii Japan would send troops, as she
had threatened to do, the trouble
might increase to a point that would
put the lives of Americans in jeopardy
the president ordered the gunboat
Vicksburg, which was on the China
STATION, to proceed at once to Chemul-
pc, the nearest port to Seoul, and the
commander of the warship has cabled
as follows:
"After consultation with the Ameri-
can minister we came to the conclu-
sion that affairs are very grave at
Seoul. There is much fear of riot by
Korean soldiers. l completed arrange
ments and sent a company of marines

Lodge Discussed the Situation on
the Istliuars.
WASHINGTON, Jan. G~.-Praetically
the entire session of the senate was de-
voted to a speech by Mr.. Lodge on the
situation on the isthmus of Panama.
He discussed the abstract question Of
the right OF the president to recognize
the independence of anew nation and
concluded that such {. %prerogative per.
tains exclusively to the office of the
chief executive. He also contended
that there had been a general expecta-
ton of an uprising in Panama in case
of failure of the Hay-IIerran treaty and
declared that the president could not
have done less than inform himself Of
the prospect.
Mr.. Lodge argued that our interyen-
ton in Panama had been only in the
interest of peace and contended that
the president had not gone a step be-
yond what the properties called for.
The conclusion OF the speech was de-
voted to the political aspect of the
question, and in that connection he re-
ferred to the speeches made at the
Democratic banquet in-New York.
MI. Lodge criticised the presidential
administration of Mr.. Cleveland, say
ing that he did not think anything
could be "liappier for the Republicans
than to have the Democrats nominate
the last Democratic reform president

THE SIGNAL FOR WAR.
Japan Ready to Land Her Forces Al
M~asamphO.

Japan Ready to Land Her Force at
MasamphO.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. Gin her
reply to Japan Russia has made many
great concessions and hopes her pro
posals will prove acceptable to Japan.
The foreign Office has given out the
information that instructions had been
sent to Viceroy Alexieff based upon the
reply. The latter was drawn up in the
most co%nciliatory spirit. Some of the
Japanese proposals were accepted,
while others were made the subject of
extended observation and were met by
counter proposals.
There are strong hopes in many cir
cles that tomorrow, the Russian Christ
that peace is assured.
The greatest difference between Rus
STA and Japan arises from the proposal
made by Russia that a neutral zone
shall be established extending from
Pingyang, in Korea. On the south to the
Russian frontier OH the north.
The Russian government has ex-
pressed a willingness to recognize the
preponderating influence of Japan in
the remainder of Korea, and the two
powers are agreed respecting the prin-
ciple of the integrity of China and Of
Korea.
Japan, however, can see no reason
why the proposed neutral zone should
be established, holding that the entire
peninsula should be subject to her pre-
po%nderating influence.
The attitude of Russia is believed to
be due to the fact that If Japan con-
trolls Korea she will thereby be able to
more easily menace Port Arthur as
well as V~ladivostok.
A dispatch from Chefu says that 5000
japanese are reported as being ready
to land at Masampho. Their landing
probably means war.
A regiment Of Cossacks is expected at
Port Arthur, and the reserves are being
moved from Blagavestchensk to Tsitis-
har.
The position of the troops in Manchu-
ria Is being %rearranged, but their loca-
ton is being kept secret. Stores are ac-
cumulating ait Port Arthur and militia
ny telegraph wires run in all directions.
There is a greatly increased vigilance
among the port officials and military.
Meanwhile the utmost gayety prevails,
With balls, masquerades and theatric-
ais.
There are signs here of growing i'm
patience at the attitude of Japan. A
report is current that the Japanese had
made all preparations for occupying
the port Of Masampho and that it might
be heard of their having done so at any
moment.
Should such action take place on the
part of the japanese it would have as
a result the bringing of matters to a eli
max, Admiral Alexieff having full pow
or to act decisively in case of any such
p~rov0cation.
