Chefoo, May IL. II 80 q. m. J .
Officers Of steamers arriving from
Niuchwang discredit the story Of
the destruction by the Russians OF
their fleet at Port Arthur. When
the officers passed Port Arthur
Wednesday night they saw search
lights flashing from ships and
forts. There were no signs of the
japanese fleet in the vicinity.
The officers further stated that
there were not to exceed 1000 Rus
sian soldiers at Niuchwang and in
that vicinity. There are only SIX
light field guns in the forts, all the
big guns having been taken to Liao
Yang.
The opinion prevaiied at Niu-
chwang that Russia intends restor-
ing Niuchwang, and also the dis.
trict eastward to Tasiehiao. The
Russian troops, it is understood,
will remain until the Chinese
troops arrive. This is to prevent
the brigands from looting.

Tired of Waiting for the
Russian Response.
THREAT OF DEADLOCK
The Length Of Time That Japan is Pre-
pared to Await the Pleasure of
Russia is Unknown. The
Popular Temper Op-
poses Delay.
(By the Associated Press }

Toxic, jan 26.--The Japanese govern
ment has automatically intlmated to Ba
ron De Rosen, the Russian minister, that
an early response is desired 10 Japan
recent note to Russia. 1t is calculated
here that the japanese note reached the
Russian Cabinet on the afternoon OF Jan
uary 16 and it is felt that sufficient time
has elapsed for it's consideration and the
rcparation of response. The Japanese
government is conscious of the possible
necessities of the military and naval sit
uation and is unwilling to permit eva
sions and delays which are designed to
gain time. The future course OF the
japanese government is carefully guard
ed secret.
The length of time that Japan is pre-
pared to await the pleasure of Russia is
unknown. 1t seems probable that it had
been determined to act decisively within
few days. The popular temper has
long opposed further delay. While many
objected TO Japan taking the initiative, a
majority would now welcome the issuance
Of brief ultimatum, and a declaration
of war if that should prove ineffective.
Some outside opinion here inclnes to the
belief that the activity of the Japanese
will be limited to the seizure OF Korea
which enterprise, it is thought, Russia
would not oppose. The Japanese govern
ment proceeds with absolute secrecy and
the people of Japan are not even in
formed of the exact nature of the de-
mands made c.s@yf1Seia

'SIXTEEN IN THE CAGE
One Man Though Receiving Painful
Injuries MarveiousIy Escapes the
Death That 0vertakes His COmpan-
ions. Militia Take Charge of the
Mine. A Rigid Examination Held.
(By the Associated Press.)

Victor, cClo., Jan. 26.-By the falling
of cage today in the Stratton independ-
>nce mine located near the center of this
city, fifteen men are dead and one other
severely injured.
In the main shaft sixteen men were
being hoisted in a cage from the sixth
seventh and eighth level When the cage
reached the surface the engineer, for
some unexplained reason, was unable to
stop the engine and the cage with its load
of human freight was drawn up into the
gallows frame, where it became lodged
temporarily. The strain on the cable fl
nally caused it to part, and the cage re-
leased, shot down the shaft with terrific
speed.
Two of the occupants, L. P. Jackson
and James Bullock, had become entangied
in the timber room near the top of the
gallows frame. Jackson was crushed to
death by the sheave wheel falling upon
him, while Builbek had a marvellous es-
cape from death, but received painful in
juries and was rescued from his perilous
position.
The other fourteen men were hurled to
Death down the 1,500 feet shaft.
AS soon as possible, the boss and
number of miners went down into the
mine through ANOTHER compartment of
the shaft They found all fifteen men
dead, the bodies scatteredN2 at different
points. Arms and bodies had been torn,
heads crushed and clothing stripped from
the victims. From the 700 foot level to
the bottom the shaft was spattereGl viii

pieces of flesh clinging to the projec--
tions.
At the bottom of ne shaft stands 25 feet
of water and into this the cage plunged,
carrying some of the men into the water

surrendered himself TO the military offices
in the district and was locked up. He
would not talk.

A Deadlock Threatened.
(By the ASSOCIATED Press.

Paris, Jan. 26.-The Russian answer has
not yet been sent to Japan and it now
develops that the points OF difference
threaten the possibility of a deadlock IN
the negotiations. These points are:
First.-In Manchuria Russia declines to
concede such unrestricted admission OF
Japanese as will permit the establish
ment of Japanese settlements.
SecSnd.--In Korea Russia insists that
Japan's privileged position should not per-
nit her to establish control OF the ingress
and ezress OF the sea of Japan by fortify-
ing the straits of Korea.
Concerning these points and the general
status OF the negotiations the following
semi official statement, emanatIng from
the highest sources, is made:
THE question is undergoing alternate
phases OF depression and encouragement.
For three or four days it was believed
that a final agreement was very near at
hand, but yesterday the situation became
little less hopeful. Japan is showing
great caution III accepting Russias as
surances of japanese paramount authority
il, Korea. Therefore, Japan feels that
her safety requires the right to fortiIy
the coast of southeast Korea, particular
the Fusan, the point opposite the Japa-
nese island OF Tsu-Shima, but Russia is
unwilling to coneede this, believing the
effect will be to make the sea of japan
a closed sea.
Concerning Manchuria the chief diff
Guilty still open is the limitation of the
right to establish Japanese settlements.
Russia does not appear TO obi 3ot to the
full liberty of Japanese coming or going
individually for purpose of trade or other
wise; but she is unwilling to concede
rights permitting Japanese settlements in
villages. similar to the foreign settle
ment at Shanghai.
There are still strong hopes that the
parties may find means of adjusting these
points. But, for the present they consti.

KEEN BLADES ARE CROSSED.
BOuteI! and Williams EnIiyen the
House With Addresses.
(By the Associated Pre2s.)

Washington, D. c., Jan. 26--Mr Bou
tell (Rep., Ills.), addressed the House
for nearly two hours today in reply to
statements made by Mr.. Williams (Miss)
the minority leader, in his stand pat
speech of few days ago. Mr.. Williams
III turn replied to Mr. Boutell. The House
had under consideration at the time the
UIgent Deficiency Bill. Mr.. Boutell re-
ceived close attention from both sides Of
the chamber, and when he spoke of the
passing CT the last trace OF bitterness be-
tween the North and the South he was
loudly applauded on both sides.
Answering the charge Of the minority
leader that the Republicans were Idol
woIshippers Mr.. Boutell reviewed the his
tory Of the Democratic party in the two
last campaigns and III doing SO he likened
the conspicuous figures of that party t3

Bryan to reckon WITH ne declared, ad-
dressing himself to the minority side, add
ing that he again would play the part Of
Nebuchadrezzar or the part of Samson
and charged the Democrats to see that
he did not pull down the pillars OF their
house and again bring them into the
position of idolators.
Mr.. Boutell had carefully prepared a
volume Of extracts from Southern news
papers, each of which spoke of the pros
oerity enjoyed in its respective commun
ity, stress being laid on conditions in
Mississippi While not claiming credit
tcr these conditions wholly for the Ding
ley act he said that it was the most
benefcent law to all sections that had
ever been enacted. Mr.. Boutell in coz.
clusion declared that Mr.. Roosevelt would
b. nominated and would receive the safuC
large vote that was given to Lincoln,
Grant and to Mckinley, and said if it
were not for those whom he called geo
graphical Democrats the vote would be
the greatest since Monroe's time. Refer
ence TO Mr.. Roosevelt created applause
OF the Republican side.
