TWO STRAITS ICE FREE

TOKYO, February entry to Vladivos-
tOk from the sea is now limited to
Tsushima straits and Tsugaru straits The
Srya straits are barred by ice. Reports re-
ceived here from Hokkaido and also from
coasting vessels say Srya straits are not
frozen over. but are filled with foes and
bergs, making navigation practically i'm
possible. To further increase the difficulty
of reaching Vladivostok the Japanese gov
ernment announces that the lighthouses in
the vicinity of Tsugaru straits will not be
lighted except occasionally.
The official announcement says this de-
cision was necessary for strategic reasons,
and warns coasting and neutral naviga tors
that in passing Tsugaru straits they must
exercise the greatest care.
The Japanese continue to patrol Tsushima
snd Tsugaru straits, and it is believed that
the blockade of Vladivostok is effective.
1t was reported from Vladvostok under
date Of February /, that the Russian
armored cruisers Rossia and Gromoboi had
been repaired, but it is doubted whether
they will emerge from the harbor on ac-
count of the extensive seizures by the
Japanese of coal-laden ships bound for
Vladivostok. Large stocks have been pur-
chased by Japan, which has now ceased

LOUISVILLE, KY, February 9.-Condi-

rain and sleet storm show slight improve

no betterment of the situation from the
Mississippi to the Atlantic coast. The tele-
phone companies in this vast area have
been practically out of business since last
Saturday night. The telegraph lines are
in but little better condition and messages
are being sent to trains between cities
where wire communication is interrupted.

lima.
Atlanta has been shut off twice since
Sunday and the only wire with Atlanta for
fourteen hours has been with suburban
towns. A large corps of telegraphers ar
rived today in Montgomery, carrying hun
dreds of messages The operators were un-
der the impression that plenty of wires
would be found there for the distribution
Of the accumulated business.
The situa tiGn in Montgomery, however, Is
not much better than that at Atlanta, and
the messages will probably be started
northward by train unless the wires are
in measure restored during the day.
Twenty-Five hundred telephones are USE
less in Atlanta and no electric lights have
been In use there for three nights. owing
to the Gripping of wires.

The City of Everett encountered thick

time she left this port January %. 1t was
last Saturday, however. when off Cape

encountered the worst of the storm. The
wind increased in force and the mantle of
fog which hung over the sea became so
dense as to obscure any object more than
a hundred feet away. The Eyerett's head

slowly along when, Captain Bunting says,
the Erikssen loomed up almost under her

Even before the lookout had time to sig

and the steel plates of the Erikssen were
stove in as if they were the sides of card

after the crash there was a great hole in
the Erikssen's side, through which the sea
poured in flood. The Erikssen's crew at
once appreciated the seriousness of the sit
uation and dashed for the boats. leaving all
their personal belongings behind. 1t was
difficult task to launch the boats, but they

1t is regarded as highly probable
that August W. Machen, convicted

RETURN OF EXCESS TO CHINA.
It is Said That the Proposition is Pre-
mature.

A rumOr has been current for some time
past that the President had in contempla-
tion recommendation to Congress look
ing to the return to China of the un-
disbursed balance of the Boxer indemnity
award. Investigation disclOses the fact that
as this indemnity is being paid in semi
annual installments to cover a period of
twenty years, not nearly sufficient funds
have yet been received from China to pay
the approved claims of the missionaries
and other private claimants, and in ad-
vance of their settlement, it is said that
any proposition to refund money not yet
collected would certainly be premature.
The claims of some of the nations party
to the treaty of Peking were audited be-
fore submission to the international tribu-
nal, but the American claims We're in
cluded in 4 lump estimate, which 1t is now
believed was for an amount in excess of
the just claims hence the proposition to re-
turn the balance, which may in the end
take shape.

an order for share of the new guns destin

by Ambassador Constans, Tewlik Pasha,
the foreign minister submitted to the am
bassador fresh proposals whereby the Ger
mans will find the moneyao pay the Krupps
the arrears owing by Turkey for previous
armament and for portion of the new bat
teries, while part of the loan to be con-
tracted for by the Ottoman Bank will be
devoted to purchasing the remainder of the
guns in France.
This. together with the settlement of the
Syrian railways question, will, 1t is be-
