DIPLOMATS ACCOUNT
OF CHEMULPO FIGHT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Two cable
grams were received at the State Depart
ment from Minister Allen, at Seoul. dated
Feb. 10, both referring to the naval en-
gagements off Chemulpo on the sth and 9th.
The minister, in his first dispatch. reports
the arrival of twenty-one japanese naval
vessels at Chemulpo on the afternoon of the
9Th. Two Russian naval vessels. the Variag
and Korietz. were in Chemulpo harbor and
attempted to prevent the landing of Jap
anese forces, but with no success. The
foreign naval vessels, the minister saws.

was a report that the japanese naval YES
sells had captured Russian transports of
Makpo on the 9TH

naval engagement took place in Chemulpo
harbor, beginnins about noon. The Variag
and the Korietz again attempted TO escape

STOCKHOLD{R OF STEEL
TRUST APPEALS TO LAW
Wants Directors to Show Cause
for Increasing and then Dis
continuing the Dividend.
HIS RIGHTS INFRINGED

TRENTON, n. j., Feb. 11.-Alfred F.
Stevens, of Newark, to-day instituted suit
in the Court of ChanceTy against the United
States Steel Corporation to have that corpo-
ration show cause why it first increased and
subsequently discontinued paying dividends
on it's common stock
Mr.. Stevens. In his petition. claims that
the steel company since its incorporation
has had net earnings over and above it's
fixed charges of about $65OO0,0OO OF this
amount s1SO00.0O0 was earned in 1901, $34, ,0O0,-
600 in 1892 and s11OO0,0O0 in 1903 He claims
that under it's charter the corporation is
obliged TO pay quarterly dividends to the
extent of per cent per annum; that in Oc-
tober, 1903, dividend of only one-half of 1
per cent, or at the rate of per cent. per
annum, was declared, and that in January,
1904 no dividend at all was declared on the
common stock.
He attacks the validity of the recent by
laws of the corporation, which authorize
the directors to set aside from the earnings
of the company from time to time such
amounts as they may determine. Mr.. Stew
ems contends that the bylaw is in violation
Of his rights a stockholder; that he
owned his stock before this bylaw was
made and adopted and that he never con-
sented to it's adoption. He alleges that
even under this bylaw no money was set
aside for working capital until February,
1904 whereas ii was prior to this that the
dividend of October, 1908 was reduced and
that of January. 1904, was passed.

RUSSIANS At Il CIRCUS
WHEN JAPANESE ARRIVED

LONDON, Feb. 12.-Statements Of all
are published here this morning.
According to the Che-Foo correspondent
of the Daily Mail the lack OF preparation
on the part of the Russians at Port Arthur
was due to the fact that all the naval
and military officers were attending a circus
performance at Port Arthur. which did
not terminate until early Tuesday morn
ing.
According TO the correspondent OF the
Paris edition of the New York Herald at
Che-Foo. the japanese torpedo boats sue
ceeded in entering the outer harbor by a
ruse; they used the Russian fashlight
signals. This correspondent adds that
three japanese torpedo boats were sunk
with great loss of life.
A correspondent of the Standard at Toxic
sends in this morning an entirely new ac-
count OF the Port Arthur encounter. He
says Admiral Togos feet arrived on Mon
day night and found the Russian squadron

harbor and under the shadow OF the forts.
the destroyers being spread out in front
over a distance Of FIVE miles. Admiral Togo
decided on a night attack and opened FIRE
at IL O'Clock. While the cannOnade was
hottest a number of Japanese torpedo boats
crept along close in shore at the foot OF the
cliff and succeeded in the darkness in get
ting between the Russian ships and land.
Here they lay unnoticed until the Russians
began 20 give way before the japanese FIRE
and sought to re-enter the harbor. Tho
japanese torpedo boats then opened fire at
comparatively close range and sank two
battleships and one cruiser close 10 the en-
trance OF the harbor. The effect Of this
coup was the retreat OF the remainder OF
the squadron into the harbOr
All was safe on board the Japanese ships

SULLIVAN, Ind, Feb. 11.-With four pre-
cincts yet to hear from it is safe to say
that the Democratic primary held here
Thursday has resulted in the nomination
of David A. Curry for representative, Adam
c. Miller for sheriff, Thomas Edward for
auditor, NJ +. Gambill for coroner, and
Salathiel Boone for commissioner for the
Second district. The returns have been
slow in coming in, and three precincts in
the out townships and one precinct in Sui
livan had not reported at l o'clock Friday
morning. Over 5000 votes were cast at the
primary. making the largest vote the party
has polled in any primary.
Wednesday and yesterday witnessed the
fiercest fight for political preferment ever
known here. Candidates bent all their en-
ergies into the race. and dollar bills were
extremely plentiful.
The greatest interest centered in the audi
torship contest and the fight for sheriff.
In the latter race a combination was

Also Saves Crews of the Variag

at Chemulpo.
WILL BE, SENT TO RUSSIA
And May Be Compelled to Give
Their Parole-Much Com
ment in London.

LONDON, Feb Examinations from To-
kio that French warships are acting as
scouts or spies for the Russians has caused
much comment here. but it is not believed
France would openly do anything of the
kind. The statement that the crews Of the
Russian vessels sunk at Chemulpo were
afforded an asylum on a French warship
also is commented on, but is not con-
demned, because a humane officer could not
well refuse to save drowning men. There
are people. however. who think it is very
fortunate for the Russians to have their
ally's ships in position to report on the
movements of the Japanese fleet.
The Reuter- Telegram Company's corre-
spondent at Toxic. in dispatch timed 9:15
p. m. yesterday. says:
"Details Of the Chemulpo engagement re-
ceived here say the captain of the variag
remained on board his ship and blew her
up after the crew escaped. Part of the
crew swan to French ship and others got
ashore. One report says that the French
warship notified the Russians of the Jap
anese squadron's approach. The Korietz
engaged the Japanese cruisers first. while
the Variag protected the transports. The
Korietz was soon destroyed"

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb lin diplo-
matte circles here the fear is increasing
that Turkey and Bulgaria will take ad-
vantage of Russia's preoccupation in the
far East to settle their differences. Turk
ish securities have been falling since Feb. g..
VIENNA, Feb. 1.-THE Politische kor-
ospendenz, q ssmi-official newspaper, to-
day published communicates from Con-
stantinople saying that in Turkish govern
mental circles the conviction obtains that
the present situation in the far East rem
ders war in Bulgaria inevitable. In view
of this condition OF affairs ii is considered
unnecessary that the Porte should burden
itself with the serious obligations involved
in carrying out the principal measures of
the reform plans for Macedonia. Com
menting this statement, the Politische
KorrOspOndenz says that the fact that such
an opinion prevails merits the most earnest
attention of the interested powers.
BERLIN, Feb. IA dispatch to the
Lokal Anzeiger from Sofia, Bulgaria,
quotes a government organ as saying, in
the course of an article on the war in the
far East, that Bulgaria is watching events
in eastern Asia with close attention, as
they may lead to important developments
for Bulgaria.

MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE
THREATENS AT LAPORTE
City Must Pay Interest on Water
Works Bond by March 2 or
Suffer the Penalty.
FINANCES BADLY MIXED
,ecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LAPORTE, Ind, Feb. 11.-Mayor Darrow
to-day received notice from the persons
holding bonds issued TO secure payment of
a s65.OOO mortgage on the supplementary
water works station, erected several years
ago, that unless interest on bonds is paid
by March 2, foreclosure proceedings will
be begun. The construction of the plant
was fought by Z. III. Scott and others. the
case being carried TO the Supreme Court,
where a decision adverse to the city was
rendered. The plant is owned by the La
porte Water Supply Company but the city
owns all the stock of the company but two
shares, this plan being used in order to pre-
vent the city's Indebtedness going beyond
the constitutional limitation.
The Supreme Court held the contract
which the company furnished the city with
water to be void, and this compelled the
shutting down of the plant and cut off the
companys income. The interest on the
bonds therefore remains unpaid

the following is a part:
II have been hearing a good deal of talk

my coat off and work for him with all my
might"
In commenting on this the Post will say:
While Mr.. Lorimer said nothing to indi-
cate that his words signifed anything more
than his personal choice for a candidate,
they will none the less be taken as mean

CRITICAL, PULSE AND
TEMPERATURE HIGHER
About the Only Favorable Point Is
that No Complications Have
Been Developed.
INCREASE OF WEAKNESS
But He Rested Fairly Well Yester-
day and Retained Nourish-
ment Without Difficulty.

WASHINGTON, Feb. u.-Senator Han
mas condition is very serious if not pre-
carious His physicians realize this and
are watching the case with the greatest
concern. The senator is considerably weak
er to-day and as a result his pulse had
run up at O'Clock to 1O4 pulsations to
the minute The increased weakness is
the direct result of the fever. the official
bulletin shows there are no complications.
The physicians hope that the fever has
reached it's worst stage. but whether or
not they declare they are unable to say.
They are simply waiting for developments
and realize the patient has lost ground dur
ing the last two days.
Stimulants have been given the senator
during the day and with beneficial results.
He rested well during the afternoon and
has retained the nourishment given him
during the past twenty-four hours. This
latter feature of the case is encouraging
to the physicians.
Extraordinary precautions are being
taken to insure quiet in and around the
hotel so the senator may get all the natural
sleep possible. Motormen of the street cars
almost block away have been requested
not TO ring their gongs. their sudden
changing seemed to irritate the senator.
After the evening visit of the physicians
Senator Hanna slept for about an hour and
q half, which considerably refreshed him.
DIR. Carter remains at the hotel all the
time so as to be on hand in case there is
a call for him.
The following bulletin issued tonight
BY Drs Rixey and Carter:
AT 8 d. m. Senator Hanna was resting
quietly. His temperature, when taken al
s o'clock. was 1922; pulse. 104: respiration.

REPORT IS CONFIRMED:
NO PROTEST BY JAPAN

PARIS. Feb. 11.-Regarding the announce
ments that Russian sailors from the variag
and Korietz, sunk by the japanese off
Chemulpo, sought refuge on the French
cruiser Pascal, which are confirmed. the
Foreign Office says the French commander
offered them an asylum only in the inter
est of humanity; that no protest has been
made by the Japanese government and
that the refugees will be sent to Russia.
They will probably be required to give their
parole not to serve again during the war.
