RUMORS RUSSIANS HAVE
MET DEFEAT AT YALU.
Advance Guard Reported to Have Been
Driven Back by Japanese.

Jewish organizations, but they are
unavailing.
Russian officials seek to justify
the severe measure by declaring 1t Is
necessary because the Jews through
out Siberia are aiders and abettors
of treason.
Jewish leaders declare the allega-
tions are false. Nevertheless the OF
der of expulsion will be executed.
MUST TRAVEL AFooT.
Not only will the Jews be expelled
from their homes, but the Russian
government refuses to allow them to
return to European Russia by the
railway, the excuse being made that
the railway is needed exclusively for
military purposes.
The unfortunates viii be compelled
TO travel afoot or awheel some |, 500
miles to Europe through the bitter
weather. Samara will be the first
point where they can embark on the
railway. The Russian officials have
not allowed them shelter and it will
be unobtainable at nights at Russian
lpost-houses.
MANY WILL PERISH.
The number of Jews expelled is esti
mated at 5000. 1t is certain that a
large proportion will succumb to the
hardships of the terrible journey.
The anti-Russian feeling in Po
land is assuming serious proper
tions. The St. Petersburg govern
ment is seriously alarmed at the out
come. The hostility to the govern
ment is expressed almost uureserv
edly.
Anti-Russian demonstrations hav,
occurred at Warsaw, Lodz, Plocl
and other towns. At Warsaw an i'm
mense crowd of students gathered
at the British consulate and cheereC
for Japan.
At Lodz the crowd paraded, shout
ing: "Hurrah for the Japanese; dowl
with Russian despotism."
Public manifestations of hostilit,
are not confined to Poland. Moscow
seethes with disloyalty aud men pub
licly denounce the war.

There are several new cases of
smallpox in Salem township, most of
them being in the family of o. NJ.
Miller, a prominent farmer who was
stricken several weeks ago. Writing
on this subject our correspondent
says: "Mr. o. NJ. Miller, who has
been sick with smallpox for two
weeks, is slowly improving, but his
wife and son, Everett, are both quite
low with the same disease. The
daughter, Mrs. Cleo Reed, who was
at home when her father took sick,
is now afflicted at her home. Three
nurses are caring for Mr.. Miller's
family ard one for Mrs. Reed. Bot h
families have the sympathy of all in
their terrible affiiction. n."-Wapako-

Senator Dick.

The announcement, Saturday, made
by Governor Herrick, that he would
not be a candidate for Q. S. Senator,
seems to point to Congressman Dick
as the successor of Senator Hanna,
Many of his friends wanted the Gov.
ernor to enter the race, and he look
ed like a pretty sure winner, but on
his withdrawal it looks like Dick
without a contest. The friends o1
Congressman Burton have been urg
ing him to enter the race, but it is
doubtful if he does so. He is prob
ably the ablest and best equipped OF
all the candidates mentioned. Geo
B. Cox has announced himself fol
Dick, and a Washington dispatch
says:
mo opposition will come from Sen
ator Foraker to the selection of Gen
eral Dick as successor to Senator
Hanna. This assures the Akron Con.

aker refuses to discuss the matter,
people who are closely identified with
him stated tonight that the eleva'
tion of General Dick to the Senator.

him. 1t would not be surprising now
if General Dick should become can
date to succeed Senator Hanna as
chairman of the national Republican
committee. 1t is asserted that he
has come to such an amicable agree
ment with Senator Foraker and his
friends that he will be able to secure
the support of the senior Senator for
the national Craftsmanship. This is
now being discussed, and it is said
that Senator Foraker will take the
proposition up with the President if
anew agreement is carried out in the
State. 1t is asserted that a perfect
understanding now exists between
Senator Foraker and General Dick,
and that there was never a better
prospect for the entire disappear

party of Ohio

Hdnnd'S Last
Request to Herrick.

President Roosevelt and Governor
Herrick, of Ohio, received the last
letters written by Senator Marcus A.
Hanna.
The letter to the president was an
expression of gratitude to Mr.. Roose-
welt for calling at the Hanna apart
ments and inquiring as to the sena-
tors health.
The call was made few days after
the senator took to his bed Mrs.
Hanna met the president and told
him of her husbands real condition.
Then she went into the sick room,
leaving the president in parlor,
and told the senator of the call.
Senator Hanna was conscious, but
very weak. Still he was pleased at
the presidents call and, asking for a
writing pad, wrote:
my Dear Mr.. President. and then
briefly related how touched he was
that Mr.. Roosevelt should call.
This little note, written by the. en-
feebled hand, touched the president
deeply, He told Mrs. Hanna how
deeply the receipt of the gentle
message affected him.
The note to the president contained
the last words written by Senator
Hanna, that to the governor having
been penned few days before. This
letter was a political one.
Senator Hanna urged Governor
Herrick to do everything possible to
avoid friction in Ohio. and to see
that the Ohio delegation to the ma
tional convention be instructed to
vote for President Roosevelt's nomi.
