Russia and Japan Pouring in Troops, and
Europe Expects EaTlU Clash.
Frances Action in DsPatching War Vessels
to the Far East Considered Ominous.
Mikado's Consul Protests.

LONDON, Feb. Pho confirmation
has as yet been received Of the vague
rumors current early this morning that
the first serious clash on land between
Russian and japanese troops had oc-
CURED near the Yslu River. and that
the Russians had been repulsed with a
loss of $500 killed and wounded.
The rumors were most vague, giving
no actual location and claiming no au-
thenucity. The reports are discredited
in many circles today. inasmuch as the
Japanese are not thought to have suffi-
cient forces in that vicinity to infiict
such a crushing blow on Russian arms.
Again. the Russians. according to off,
ciaI statements. are not prepared for
such a fight at that point.
Early Clash Predicted.
1t is generally thought this afternoon
that the report is premature. IT is true,
however. that such a clash viii doubt
less occur IN the near future. Russia
according to dispatches. received from
the seat Of war. is rushing troops to
the vicinity of the Yalu River in divis-
ions Of thousands and tens Of thousands
Japan Is doing likewise. and the fight
when It comes. viii be a decisive one. as
well as one in which the casualties are
bound to be terrific on account Of the
great numbers engaged.
The possibility of the war spirit
spreading TO Europe continues to be a
subject Of paramount interest today
Despite Frances assertion that the dis
patching Of ships and men TO the Far
East has no sinister significance. there
is little doubt that the situation is preg-
nant with warlike possibilities for the
frfr aa
Chinese Complications.
Again, there is a possibility Of com
plications arising over the action Of the
Chinese government in consenting to
allow the Russian gunboat Mandjur 10
be dismantied and tied up at Shanghai
10 a.sait the 5Ompietioh Of hosfilifies.
According TO the Shanghai correspond
ent Of the Times" the Japanese con-
sui at Shanghai last evening visited the
Chinese governor and demanded that
orders be given the commander Of the
MandJur TO leave port within twenty
four hours.
The governor went at once to the
Russian consul and conveyed this or
der. stating that it was a violation Of
neutrality laws for the gunbOat to re-
main. The consul replied mat he had
no authority TO convey such an order
to the commander OF the vessel and
referred the Chinese official to the Rus
sian minister at Pexin.
Gunboat Must Remain.
Later he stated that the gunboat must
be allowed 10 remain, inasmuch as she
was there under an arrangement ap-
proved by the Chinese government. The
vessel would, therefore. remain at
Shanghai during the remainder Of the
war
The japanese consul. when notified Of
this arrangement, entered a further
and sitter protest, maintaining that. the
presence Of the Russian vessel in a
neutral port was prejudicial TO the re-
establishment of regular merchant ser
vice with japanese ports No reply to
this latest protest has as yet been sent

SAY BOYS !!
You Will Have to Quit Playing
Polo on the Streets.

A great many complaints are being
daily received by the police concern
ing polo and shinney being played by
the boys in the streets. There is a
city ordinance against this which has
not been enforced lately, with the re-
suit that the boys are growing bold
er every day and play Ill the streets
or on the sidewalks, even in the most
crowded thoroughfares. A large
number Of windows have been brok-
Ell throughout the city, grass and
lawns have been trampled upon and
the sidewalks INSTRUCTED by crowds
Of boys. Besides this great many
persons have been hit by the flying
balls as the boys seem not to care for
the safety Of pedestrians. 1t will be
henceforth prohibited and the ordi-
nance viii be enforced, so the juven-
lie players had better take warning
by this. Supt. Gormon realizes as
well as any man IN the city that boys
need and must have outdoor exercise.
but he insists that this reckless play
ing Of polo and baseball on the streets
must stop. He has advised with Supt
Mott and other school authorities in
regard to stopping this roughness and
the police have been instructed to
make arrests.

MINISTER'S
Are at a Loss to Know How to Get
Audiences.

At Muncie the Ministerial associa-
ton is Cup a. stump" to know what
to do to GET people to attend church
services on Sunday nights. On Mon
day set of resolutions were pre-
pared, and, according to the Muncie
Times, were not presented on account
of lack Of attendance Of members
Those who were present suggested a
number Of plans for getting the peo-
pie to attend the evening services
One minister suggested that physic-
ians be secured who were specially
skilled In the treatment Of Sunday
headache, another proposes to give
free polo tickets to all who attend his
church next Sunday evening, another
proposes a boxing match instead of
the usual sermon, another proposes a
stereopticon show, another to lecture
on a number of the newest books.
lnasmuch as desire to be of service
to s fellow men is not a sufi-
clent inducement to persuade even the
officers of the church to venture out.
it was thought to be wise to offer in
ducements TO draw the ungodly in out
of the wet. All agreed that such
long-continued series Of wet and dis
agreeable Sundays had rarely been
known. If the ground hog doesn't
come out soon something desperate
will be doing in Muncie pulpits in the
next few SUNDAYS.
