JAPANESE SURVIVORS
LANDED 1T NAGASAKI

NAGASAKI, Feb, 22.-The steamer Stol-
berg has arrived here from Vladivostock
with twenty white foreigners, 1900 Chinese
and fifty japanese. She brings in addition
forty survivors of the Japanese steamer
Nakonoura Maru. which was sunk by the
Russian cruiser squadron from Vladivos-
took on Feb. II. Two men were drowned
during their transfer TO the Russian ships
The survivors were well treated and pro-
vided with return passages.
In an interview the captain OF the
Nakonoura Maru says that on the morn
ing of the 11th instant four Russian war
ships were sighted at a distance of four
miles The warshiDs signaled the Nakon-
oura Maru TO follow them, and afterward
signaled that all on board should leave the
steamer in fifteen minutes In the mean
time the warShps opened fire on the steam
er. The second signaling was intended
TO the crew. While the steamer was
lowering her boats two men were wounded
and fell into the sea. The remainder of
the crew were taken on board the cruiser
Gromoboi and provided with clothing. They
were later transferred on the 18th to the
steamer Stolberg from Vladivostok, but
the Stolberg after proceeding five miles
was stopped by the Russians and detained
until the 18th.
The Vladivostock squadron intended TO
lombard Hokodate, but snow storm pre-
vented the vessels from entering the Straits
OF Tsugaru. They intend to make another
attempt to reach Hakodate in March with
the eruisers, five torpedo boats and an
armed transport.

LAND OPERATIONS NAY
BE DELAYED MONTHS

LONDON, Feb. 22-Latest advices Of
Baron Hayashi. the Japanese minister to
Great Britain, lead him to believe the Jap
anese troops may now wait possibly two
or three months before undertaking ag-
gressive operations in Manchuria. He said:
I'VE have found that Russia is so unex-
pectedly unprepared that | should not be
surprised if the japanese land forces con-
tented themselves with establishing thor
ough organization and advancing as the
construction of the railroad towards the
Yalu river progresses. Russia appears 10
be less prepared than was China in 1885. L
believe that only three trains day can be
run through Manchuria. Supposing these
are equally divided between troops and
supplies. as would be necessary, Russia
could not perceptibly strengthen her land
forces before April Japans naval coup
has been so unexpectedly successful that
/ rather think our troops will take their
time The shallow inlets are now frozen
over, reta-ding the disem barkation OF our
forces. This is especially true at Port Ar
thur. where a near landing OF troops is I'M
possible owing TO the ice.
Baron Hayashi does not credit the report
that $500 Russian soldiers have been killed
in an outpost engagement at the faln
river. He says there Is no Japanese force
in that vicinity large enough TO infiict such
a loss.
The only naval development Baron
Hayashi expects in the near future is a
possible attack upon the Japanese feet by
the powerful torpedo flotilla at Port Arthur
and hitherto unused. On the Japanese side,
except possible actions against the Russian
VladivoStOk squadron, the japanese minis
ter does not look for developments at pres
en-. believing that Admiral Togo will be
satisfied TO. keep the disabled Russian
squadron prisoners at Port Arthur.
The minister credits the Russians with
having barely 100000 troops in Manchuria.

NEW YORK.-The small Russian cruiser
RUSSIA'S MOVEMENT OF
TROOPS WILL BE SLOW

BERLIN, Feb. 22.-The Militar Wochen-
blatt, the organ of the German General
STAFF, has published an article discussing
Russia's prospects of reinforcing her army
in East Asia The paper takes a pessimis-
tic view of the capacity of the trans-Si-
berian railroad, and especially of the sec
tion crossing Lake Baikal, where, it says,
the difficulties to be overcome are enor-
NOUS The limited capacity of the line is
said to be a much more serious matter
than the threatened damage to ii by ma
tives The paper estimates the present
troops-moving capacity of the railroad
from Russia's exrerience of last summer in
moving two bris-ieS to TSchita, east of
Lake Baikal, which was only accomplished
at the rate of eight and a half miles an
hour At this rate ii would take thirty-six
days to convey 5000 men from the Ural
The paper assumes the present strength
of the Russian army in eastern Asia to be
15S 761 men and upon the foregoing estimate
of time required to move troops, it declares
il will take until April 20 for Russia to
raise the strength of her East Asiatic
army TO 10000 men.
The Militar Wochenblatt is of opinion
that the easiest thing for Japan to do to
compel Russia TO abandon Manchuria Is to
strike at the center of the country, or, in
other words, concentrate her forces against
Harbin.

ANXIOUS DAYS IN JAPAN
PRIOR TO HOSTIUTIES
Feeling Was Repressed, but There
Was a Conviction of the
Speedy Resort to Arms.
SHIPS AND ARMY READY

VICTORIA. B. C. Feb. 22.-Writing from
Toxic on Feb. g. the correspondent of the
Associated Press reports that by that time
all hope OF peaceful settlement of the far
Eastern situation had been abandoned in
high official circles. The Russian reply TO
the japanese latest note was expected on
the day the Athenian sailed, with little hope
that IL would prove satisfactory TO the Jap
anese Cabinet. The latest report was that
Manchuria was not even mentioned in the
drafted reply. If this were found true dip
lomatic representatives here agreed the
document was tantamount to challenge 10
war, as Manchuria was an essential por-
tion of the Japanese proposals.
A high council was held before the throne
on Feb. T. This evidently completed the
decision to resort to armed force If neces-
sary. Every precaution of the fleet trans
ports and personnel of the navy had been
made, and on the day following the coun-
ell secret order was sent TO Sasebo, where
the fleet lay, whereupon it Immediately
weighed anchor and departed toward
Korea. The news. when spread around
created the widest excitement, in sup
pressed form, however, as the official in
junction as TO silence is very literally IN
terpreted in Japan.
There was hasty move of the cores
pondents toward Korea. NO correspond,
ents were invited to go with the fleet ana an
that could not secure independent trasporta-
ion had TO remain in Japan. The Asso-
ciated Press special correspondent, Martln
Egan, had anticipated this difhculty ana
secured line of correspondents at every
point in the probable zone OF hosuntles,
that the earliest and most reliable news
might be secured
The hurry-up order to the fleet was made
interesting by the knowledge that the Rus,
sian feet had left Port Arthur on the 80
inst, rumOrs said, to convoy troops 10
Korea or to intercept the two japanese
cruisers Nisshin and Kasuga, on their way
out from Genoa. 1t was thought the two
fleets might collide somewhere. The rumors
were set TO rest by the news on the evening
of the 5th, that the Russian fleet had re-
turned TO Port Arthur. 1t was quietly
rumored that the mobilization OF the Jap
anese army was imminent, that the order
was written and would be issued on the
9Th 1t was not even thought necessary by
all parties that the Russian reply should be
received at all, on the ground that the un-
considerable delay by Russia was practical
ly an insulting answer in itself
The only question discussed was the plan
of campaign. Throughout Japan there was
a general feeling of relief that the tension
would be removed and the old fighting in
stinct of the nation be given chance.

LARGE ATTENDANCE At
H. d. THOMASS BURIAL
Impressive Services at the Funeral
of the Marion Traction Man
at the Christian Church.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MARION, Ind, Feb. 22.-The funeral OF
II. d. Thomas, who fell dead of heart dis
ease, on the old fair grounds. just east of
this city, last Wednesday afternoon, took
place yesterday afternoon at his late resi-
dence, on West Fifth street The services.
conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Bennett, of the
Christian Church, were very impressive.
The funeral was attended by many friends,
among whom were many of Marion's most
influential citizens. The pallbearers were
John Mcdonald, William Picked. Philip
Matteo, F. j. Gould, G. c. Harwood and
Lafe Bailey. The honorary pallbearers
were Mr.. Norwood, of Kokomo; Mr.. Lee
Hall, of Marion, and Mr.. Cummings, OF
Bluffton.
There was an error in the published re-
ports of Mr.. Thomas's death, in that he
did not die in his buggy, as stated. but fell
veying party, and died soon after. An am
bulance was hurriedly summoned and he
was brought to Marion.
Henry D. Thomas was born in Wayne
county, near Richmond, on May IL,
1S47. When nine years of age his
parents moved to Marion, and he re-
one. In 1864, then seventeen, he and his
father drove an OK team by way of Salt
Lake City, to San Francisco. They returned
his fathers store as a clerk, and when he
attained his majority he formed a partner
ship with Jacob Beshone. The firm con-
Quoted a grocery store several years. When
this firm sold out Mr.. Thomas became the
partner of William Webster In the grocery
business Later he associated with d. Il.
Sweetser and j. n. Turner in the lumber
business. About fifteen years ago Mr.. Thorn
as moved on a farm. four miles west of
the city. but, after about seven years OF
country life, he returned to Marion to take
charge of his business affairs. OF late he
had been large stockholder of the Koko-
mo- Marion & Western Traction Company
This company also formed a construction
company to build the road, and elected o.
V. Darby. president and II. ID. Thomas,
vice president, but owing to the recent
death of Mr.. Darby Mr.. Thomas was elected
president When he died he was with a
party consisting of Albert Neal, w g.
Freel and City Engineer Petrie, surveying
for a new road that he was preparing TO
build this coming year. He worked always
in the interest of his city, and il was
through his influence that many improve
ments were made.
He was a member of the EMPLOYERS
Council from which body the pallbearers
were chosen. The honorary pallbearers
were chosen from the members of the
traction company. He left a widow and
two sons. William III. and James A. Thorn

DICK MAY Be CHOSEN
SENATOR NEXT TUESDAY
Ballots Will Be Taken in Both
Houses of Ohio Legislature
March I.
PETITION CIRCULATED

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 22.-Separate bal
lots will be taken in the House and Senate
at noon on Tuesday, March l, for the cleo
ton of successor to the late Senator
Marcus A. Hanna and joint session will
be held at noon on Wednesday to declare
the result This is provided in a joint
resolution introduced and accepted in the
Senate this evening after a message con-
tanning official notification of the death of
Senator Hanna had been received by the
Legislature. The resolution did not reach
the House before adjournment, but it's rati-
fication by that body is regarded as GER
tain.
Gen. Charles Dick is expected here on
next Wednesday. A petition was circulated
in the House to-day pledging the signers
to vote for General Dick. The purpose
was to obviate the necessity for a caucus.
Forty-eight names appeared on the petit
ton when il reached the Cuyahoga dele
cation. They refused to sign until they had
had an opportunity to confer among them
selves. AS only fifty-nine votes are neces-
sary to nominate in join caucus, and the
petition has not yet been circulated in the
Senate, there is little doubt the required
number of signatures will be obtained out
side the Cuyahoga delegation

RUSSIA ADDRESSING
NOTE TO THE POWERS
Protest Made Against Alleged Jap
anese Infraction of Interna-
tional Law.
OPINION OF A DIPLOMAT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Russia is ad-
dressing TO the powers either through their
representatives at St Petersburg or the
Emperor's ENJOYS -abroad, and probably
through both, a vigorous communication
charging Japan with repeated violation Of
the laws of nations, first as the note
alleges, in threatening to attack a neutral
port Chemuipo, Korea unless the Russian
ships within came out to face an over
whelming force, and second. in attacking
Port Arthur before war had been declared
and while the Japanese minister at ST.
Petersburg was still enjoying the protec-
tion and courtesies of the Russian govern
ment, to which il is claimed he had just
previously addressed a communication eX-
pressing his belief that the interruption of
diplomatic relations between the two coun-
tries would be brief The text of the note is
not obtanable
In the diplomatic corps the news of Rus
sias intended address to the powers has
caused great interest. A diplomat whose
government is inclined to sympathize with
Russia, said that the Russian government
did not expect other nations to pass on the
attack at Port Arthur. but as to the
threatened attack on Chemulpo. This dip
lomat said the Russian government eX-
pected the powers in the interest of interna-
tional law would give this matter their
earnest consideration. Several foreign naval
commanders at Chemulpo. he said, were re-
ported to have protested against the action
of the Japanese commander at the time, and
If il were true that the American COM
mander refused TO join with the other for
eign commanders in protesting to the Jap
anese commander against his action in
threatening the town, he thought it likely
the action of the commander of the Vicks-
burg would be the subject of an exchange of
views between the st. Petersburg and
Washington governments.
