DELAYED TRAINS
All Running Behind Seized
uIe-Some Improvement
Noticeable.

The condition of the railroads is
improving rapidly after the recent
severe blizzard. The trains are near
ly all running only slightly behind
the schedule. The engineers say that
the locomotives steam badly on ac-
count of the cold. and this accounts
for their not running fast. No. 7,
through from New York, was seven
hours late yesterday, arriving here at
8:15. 1t is due here at 1:20. This
IS the train that the polo players in
tended to take.
No. "A, due here at $3.50 a. m. was
six hours late yesterday and three
hours this morning.
The trains from the north and west
are the most badly deranged as to
their schedules of any. No. 20, from
st. Louis, due here at 80 was about
three hours late last evening. Con
sidering all things, however, the
trains are doing very we'll and in a
few more days will be running on
regular schedule time
Edgar Taylor of the American Ex-
press Company returned from st.
Louis yesterday evening.

WORK OF THE DEAF
Superintendent Johnson Wants to
Send His Pupils to st. Louis
Exposition.

Indianapolis, Jan. 90 Richard
johnson, superintendent of the Indi-
ana institution for the education of
tn deaf and dumb in this city is very
anxious that his school shall be al
lowed to make a display at the
world S fair to be held at st. Louis
this summer, and has applied to the
Indiana world s fair commission for
an appropriation to defray the ex-
penses of the display.
Special attention is to be given at
the exposition to exploiting the meth
DDS of teaching detectives of all kinds
as employed in the various states.
This display is to be made largely
with a view of impressing on foreign
ers the care that is given to this i'm
portant subject. It is also felt that
much good will result in that teachers
OF detectives from one state will have
a chance to study the methods Of 9th
er educators in their line and doubt
less viii pick up good points that they
can employ In the future
As education is to be the central
feature of the exposition this branch
of educational work will receive
great deal of attention. It is the plan
of the exposition managers to illus
trate these teaching methods by hold
ing classes on the exposition grounds.
Different institutions will be asked
to furnish the classes for various pc
riods.
Mr.. Johnson's plan is to have sew
eral of the classes from the Indiana
institute take part in these exercises.
lie would like to send three grades of
his pupils to st. Louis. They would
be IN charge of their teachers who
would conduct the exercises. He fig-
ures that such a display would cost
about $1,000 and he has asked for
this sum to defray the expenses of the
trip.

AN ANSW Err is WANTED
Japanese Government is Unwilling to
Permit Evasion Which are De-
signed to Gain Time.

Toxic, Jan. 27.-Tbe japanese gov
ernment has automatically intimated
to Baron De Rosen, the Russian min
lister, that an early response is de-
sired to Japan's recent note to Russia.
1t is calculated here that the japanese
note reached the Russian cabinet on
the afternoon of jan IS and it is felt
that sufficient time has elapsed for its
consideration, and the preparation of
a response. The Japanese government
is conscious of the possible necessi-
ties of the military and naval situa-
ton, and is unwilling to permit eva
sions and delays which are designed
to gain time. The future course of
the Japanese government is a careful
ly guarded secret. The length of time
that japan is prepared to await the
pleasure of Russia is unknown. It
seems probable that it has been deter
mined to act decisively within a few
days. The popular temper has long
opposed further delay.
While many objected to Japan's TAX
ing the initiative, majority would
now welcome the issuance of brief
ultimatum, and a declaration of war
if that should prove ineffective. Some
outside opinion here inclines to the
belief that the activity of the Japanese
will be limited to seizure of Korea,
which enterprise it is thought Russia
would not oppose. The Japanese gov
ernment proceeds with absolute secre-
cy and the people of Japan are not
even informed of the exact nature of
the demands made on Russia.

STRONG FOR PEACE.

indianapolis, Jan. 26.-The Indi-

WATER POLO.

Water polo is, comparatively, a
new game. Tt had its origin in Eng
land about 1870, but was not import
ed into America until sometime in
the late eighties. 1t has gained great
popularity, however, since then, and
only the scarcity Of available pools
prevents its becoming the favorite
indoor winter sport.
The object of the game, which is
played by two opposing teams of
six, generally in tank as near 40x60
feet as possible, is to touch the OPP
ponent's goal Ca space four feet by
twelve inches, situated at each end
of the tank, eighteen inches above the
water leveD with a rubber ball that
is thrown into the tank by the referee,
at start of play. Each touch counts
one, and the side scoring most points
wins the game. To give the contest
some life, and make it interesting, it
was ruled, In America, that no goal
would be allowed unless the ball was
in contact with the hand Of the man
scoring at the time the board was
touched.
Water polo is now on scientific
basis and by no means the disordered
scramble that it appears to the casual
observer. The preliminary work done
by candidates for good team is
even more complicated than the
preparation for football. Besides
learning passing, catching. interfer-
ing and scoring, each man has. to 90
through a systematic course of aqua
tic tackling, that has almost as many
holds and breaks. as has wrestling.
The game itself is all played in
given formations. Each player is
coached individually regarding his
work IN every possible combination,
and blackboard practice is frequently
INDUCED In by the best teams.
The progress that this sport has
made IS remarkable. The criss-cross
plays, the masses, the various hur-
dies and the leap from shoulder have
all come into existence within the
last few years, and have completely
revolutlonized the game. Even in the
MINOR details things have changed
radically, and for the three or four
tackles that were in use ten wears
ago, there are now at least a hundred:
at every new meet new ones appear
hat have never been seen before.

THERMOMETER
STORY
Supt. Gormon' S Faith Shaken
In the Old One.

Frequenters of the city building
have noticed the thermometer that
hung on the south wall of the first
room south of the main entrance. The
thermometer is all right, but the sup
erintendent didn It think so. All this
morning it registered 20 degrees, and
callers at the city hall would greet
the genial superintendent with the re-
mark, "Isn't it cold!" And Alex.
thought they had reference to the
heat of the building. The same re-
mark often repeated grew monotonous
and Mr.. Gormon grew tired of hear
ing it, SO he adjusted his glasses, took
a longing look at the thermometer
and decided the thing wasn't work
ing. He took it off the wall and
placed it on nearby heater, got it
red hot and the mercury climbed up
70 the ninety neighborhood. Alex.
hung the thing OH the wall with the
remark, "the darn thing does work, =
and he got so warm he had to unbut
ton his coat and vest.

GETTINGTOGETHER
Operators and Miners Preparing to Fix
Wage SceduIe.

Indianapolis, Jan. 27-The advance
guard of coal operators is beginning
to arrive and by tomorrow the joint
conference of miners and their en-
ployers to fix the wage scale for next
year will be in full swing. In the
opinion of men here who keep posted
on the affairs of the miners the pres
ent conference will be a short one.
The miners have settled on the de
mands they will present to the opera
tors and they are regarded as being
very conservative and fair Of course
they will not be agreed to at first and
since the men do not make any request
for increased wages the employers are
sure TO ask for a reduction. A COM
promise must come before the new
scale can be signed. That it will not
be as difficult to reach an agreement
as has been the case in former years
now seems likely. Men who have the
temerity to forecast the outcome of
the conference are now predicting that
the outcome of the meeting will be
that the present wage scale will be
signed up for another year 1t will not
mean that either side has backed down
to any great extent if this is done.
The miners will be assured of the
same wages and the operators will
have put off another year the change
to the run OIL mine basis of. payment
which so many of them have opposed
for years.
The United Miners have completed
the work of the fifteenth annual con
vention and are now awaiting the ac-
ton of the joint conference which
begins tomorrow. The miners re-elect-
ed their old officers as follows: Pres
ident John Mitchell, Vice-President T.
L. Lewis and Secretary-Treasurer w.
B. Wilson. The United Mine Workers
of America and the joint conference
between operators and miners will be
held in Indianapolis in 1905.
