RUSSIA DELIBERATELY
PRECIPITATED CRISIS

LONDON. Feb. Elm a dispatch dated
Nagasaki. Saturday. Feb. 6. and which
was delayed by the censor, a correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph asserts that Russia
deliberately precipitated the crisis by Sc
cretly dispatching a few days ago from
Port Arthur transports loaded with full
division Of troops and escorted by a feet
and landed them near the Yalu river, thus
occupying northern Korea. Japanese pa
tience became exhausted. and to-day Japan
moved her ships and took unresisted pos

Guiding the Shillxa and Manchuria.
The correspondent continues: Two other
Russian vessels were seized and escorted
to Sasebo, Japan

CONDITION OF SENATOR
HANNA IS NOT So GOOD,
BUT IS NOT DANGEROUS
Physicians Regard His Ailment as
Typhoid Fever Which Will
Run It's Full Course.
PATIENT MORE NERVOUS
Some Irritation of the Stomach Is
Noted-Arrival of His Physi-
clan from Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Senator Hanna's
condition tonight was a little more encour-
aging, though the extreme weakness, which
has been the worst feature of his sickness.
continues. He had fairly quiet day, rest
ed little better and there was less irri-
liability of the stomach. so that the senator
was able to take more nourishment than for
some days. For the past two days he has
talked very little and has made no effort,
as at first to bring UP business matters.
The physicians say it is a case of waiting
for the disease to run it's course, but that
they are hopeful. The heart action contin-
ues good and the fact that the senator is
of a long-Iived family is considered in his
favor The following bulletin was issued
tonight:
Senator Hanna's temperature at p. m.
was 102 his pulse IS 92 and regular; respira-
ton, "a There has been less irritability of
the stomach, and his general condition re-
mains good"
This signed by Drs. Rixey and Car
ter, and followed a bulletin that was not
greeted so favorable.
"Mr. Hanna's temperature is a little
higher, 1O3; pulse 81, regular; respiration
"a. little irritablity of stomach; mind
Mr.. Hanna's general condition to-day has
not been so favorable as ii was yesterday,
though he passed a comfortable night The
change noted, especially in an increased
temperature, was pronounced by his ply
sicians as not unexpected and not of a
nature to cause alarm. The senator was
| fairly comfortable despite his higher tenn
perature but at times he manifested con-
| siderable restlessness. DR.. Edward G.
| Carter, Senator Hanna's family physician,
| in Cleveland arrived this morning and will
| be in continuous attendance on his pa
| tient.
| At o'clock DR.. Rixey, DR.. William
| Osler, of Baltimore. and DR.. Carter
| made q careful examination OF Senator
| Hanna. The physicians are favorable to
| having as few examinations as possible
| hereafter. on account of the exhausting eff
| feet on the Senator. Therefore unless some
| unexpected change should occur only one
| bulletin a day will be sent out a symptom
| of the disease not heretofore noticed is the
| nervousness of the patient. The as
| surance is given by the attending ply
| sicians that no developments of
| serious nature have occurred since last
night. They now regard the disease as
| typhoid fever which will have a regulal
| run The irritability of the stomach noted
| in the bulletin is thought to be due to the
| sedatives. H. NJ. Hanna, the senator
| brother, arrived to-day from Thomasville
| Ga.
That the family does not regard the case
| as likely to result seriously In the neal
| future is Indicated by the departure las

EMERGENCY CALL MADE

-Four new bridges, to cost between S50OOOO
and slOOO,OOO are assured if the request
which the Board of County Commissioners
will undoubtedly make of the County Coun-
ell for the means to build them is granted.
The mayor the Board of Public Works,
the city attorney and the city engineer met
with the Commissioners yesterday after
noon and made a formal request for the
provision of adequate bridge facilities The
matter will be considered. probably to-day.
and it Is practically assured that they will
call for a special session of the County
Council. which requires seven days no
tice. At this session they will present es-
Inmates of the cost of four new bridges
across White river to replace the Emrichs-
vile bridge and those at West Michigan
street, River avenue and Morris street, and
will, at the same time, ask the County
Council to authorize the issue of bonds of
Marion county for a sufficient sum to cover
their cost.
This amount, contingent upon the kind
of bridges to be built, whether of steel,
stone or concrete, is variously estimated
at from s5OO,G0O to s1,OOO,OOO
AT the meeting of city and county Of
ficials yesterday Mayor Hoffman opened
the case for the city with statement as
TO the present condition of the bridges. In
the opinion of the city engineer and others
couversant with the situation, they must
be replaced as soon as the work can possibly

water and ice of Sunday had left the bridges
i'm far worse condition than they were after
the January flood.
He stated that the Emrichsville and
the Michigan-street bridges cannot be re-
haired: that the River-avenue bridge can
nossibly be used for a little while, but that
one of the piers of the Morris-street bridge
was so badly damaged by the ice of Sunday
that 1t cannot be repaired for street car

HAYASHI MAKES
IMPORTANT STATEMENT

LONDON, Feb. S.-Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister, has informed the Asso-
ciated Press that military steps contem-
plated by Japan for the preservation of it's
interests in the far East already have COM
menced. The minister was careful to point
out, however, that this does not mean ac-
tual hostilties, but strategic action through
pouring Japanese troops into Korea and
Manchuria. This, he states, is now in
progress.
Baron Hayashi calculates that forces ade-
quate to meet any emergency will have
been fully disembarked within two or three
days. He regards the breaking off of nego-
tiations as tantamount TO war, and does
not look for any formal declaration. The
minister reiterates the statement that the
Russian reply was not delivered, and de-
clares his belief TO be that it never was
sent.
The japanese legation here to-day added
to the obscurity Of Japans immediate in
tentions, looked upon here, by saying ii
was not believed that war will result inn
mediateiy, adding. however, that the lega-
tion Is not informed as TO the Japanese
governments purposes, and has no news of
what is happening at home 1t is not con-
sidered improbable that the present stua-
tion may be prolonged for several days.
The German government is prepared to is
sue a proclamation of severe neutrality
should hostilities begin. The popular Ger
man feeling is divided between a certain
| admiration for the little people of Japan
| and the necessarily greater community of
| interests in international politics and trade
| with big neighbOr. Germany's neutral
| attitude is a complex of vague, territorial
hopes in China, lOng-standing intolerance
of Japan's ambitions dislike of Russia, and
! a desire to separate Russia from France by
| winning Russia's good will.
| The British Foreign Office does not regard
! the japanese note presented Feb. to the
| Russian Foreign Office by NJ. Kurino as
| establishing a state of war, though ii holds
/ II would Justify a hostile act without any
| further notification on the part of Japan,
| which the Foreign Office here also under
| stands will not be given. The course taken
| by the United States embassy at st. Peters
burg in Undertaking to look after the in
| terests of Japanese subjects In Russfs was
= adopted because the British government re-
| garded itself as being too intimately con-
| cerned in the dispute TO accept such re-

ment to two parts of clean, sharp sand.
This was applied in the usual way, by
making it about one-half inch in thick
ness over the lath, keeping it of the
proper consistency that good supply
would press in between and behind the
lath in order that it might hold Sc
curely when hardened. While the
work was becoming hard the wall was
frequently wet down with water in or
der that the cement would harden
down slowly. Within two or three
days after the wall was finished we be-
gan filling the silo with clover and
within ten days had same filled-one-
half clover and one-half peas and oats.
The windows originally had been cut
on a bevel in the usual way, being re-
placed from the inside. After lathing
and cementing it became necessary to
build upon the inside of the windows
to make same flush with the wall.
This was done by using tar paper and
tongued and grooved flooring. The
particular part comes in making the
windows alright about the edges.
This we find is best done by the use of
cement or good clay with either of
which a perfectly alright joint can be
made, and by the aid of cold-chisel
and hammer the window is readily re-
moved when desired After the silage
had been fed out we noticed that the
wall was rougher than when the ma
terial was first put in, which had evil
IDENTIFY been caused by the action of the
acids; we also noticed a few hair-like
cracks in the wall. This we complete
ly remedied by the use of cement
wash of milky consistency. This we
used every time before refilling the
silo, thus making the same as perfect
as new With this silo we have no
trouble in securing good silage with
practically no waste.
For top covering upon the compile
ton of filling the silo we use any
refuse material that will absorb a
large quantity of water. This can be
put on to depth of two feet or more
the day after filling silo, the sooner the
better, and onto this sprinkle several
barrels of water The loss of silage
will be but slight.
The writer finds clover silage to be
fully equal to that from peas and oats
or vetches and oats. The quality of
the silage is controlled largely by the
way IL 10 put III, WHICH, SHOULD De QOD0
Systematically and with much tramp

over the material as it is put into the
silo often improves the quality. The

kept we'll wetted when it is being filled
to counterfeit any absorption of mois-
