INAUGURATED

ITH MJUTW DISPLAY Splendor. Marked the Installation of the New Governor of Ohio at Columbus. SADDEXIXG INCIDENTS COLUMIU'S. 0-. Jan. 11 The ceremonies which marked the Inauguration of Governor Myron T. Herrick to-day were the most brilliant ever witnessed on a like occasion in Ohio. Twenty thousand visitors from all parts of the State swelled the outpouring of local residents to a vast crowd, which fairly choked the leading thoroughfares of the city. The street parade was truly a pageant, with more than 8.000 uniformed militia and civic bodies In line. There were two saddening incidents, however, attending the day's inspiring events. Over the dome of the Capitol where the Inaugural ceremonies took place the Stars and Stripes floated at half-mast, honoring the memory of former Governon Charles Foster, who died suddenly at Springfield. O., last Saturday, and scarcely had the great parade disbanded when former Governor Asa S. Puphuell. who was with Governor Herrick on the reviewing stand, was stricken with apoplexy and removed to a hospital, where he lies in a critical condition. Them- Ircldents have deeply affected those most interested in the affairs of the day, and were reilectod in the absence of the customary demonstrations of public enthusiasm. At the public reception to-night at th" Capitol about 4.0U0 shook hands with the new Governor. The reception to invited guests which followed was a brilliant social affair. RUSSIA MUST RECEDE OR JAPAN WILL FORCED TO RESORT TO ARMS SOON (CONCLUDED FROM 1ST PAGE.) Manchuria. Strong symputhy is expressed here in behalf of the Russian view as it is said that the Rentral admission of Japanese colonization in Manchuria would create questions of political and racial domination. It is asserted to be in the Interest of the commerce of Europe and America that Russia should replace I nina s authority within Manchuria. It is also pointed out that Japan 1 recently restricted the operations of American insurance companies and this is cited as evidence that Russian control of Manchuria Is likely to prove as liberal to American and European commerce as Japan's. Therefore it is maintained in governmental quarters that it is to the general interest of Europe and America to give moral support to a settlement f the pending conllict on the basis of Japan's authority in Korea and Russia's authority in Manchuria. Those who are in the bst position to know Russia's intentions say her determination to exercise her sphere of influence in Manchuria is irrevocable. Owing to Russia's latest attitude In Manchuria, It Is the view of official circles here that the main issue of the negotiations now centered on Manchuria instead of Korea. Japan Wants Dardanelles Kept Closed LONDON, Jan. ll.-The Japanese government is alarmed at the report that the Russian Black sea fleet Intends to pass through the Dardanelles. At tne request of ine Tokio authorities Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister to Great Britain, has made inquiries on the subject here, but the British Foreign Office has not heard that Russia has asked Turkey's permission, and is not inclined to think Russia will raise such a question In Europe at the present time, not only in view of the far Eastern crisis, but because of the unsettled state in the Balkans. SITUATION IS VIEWED SERIOUSLY BY RUSSIA BERLIN, Jan. ll.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger gives a much more serious view of the far Eastern situation than has hitherto emanated from that capital. The correspondent claims be has authentic information that those in official circles entertain a greater concern over the difficulties between Russia and Japan than they have heretofore allowed to become known to the public, and he suys that he suspects that the utterances of the press have been optimistically colored In order to conceal this official disquiet. The correspondent goes on to say that the Csar takes the keenest interest iu bringing order into the complicated situation, and that he insists that an unvarnished report shall be made public. Recently Count Lamsdorf. the foreign minister. General Kurepatkin, the minister of war, and M. Avasa, chairman of the committee on East Asiatic affairs, assembled in the Palace of Zarskojesselo to draw up a communication which will soon be published in the government messenger. This communication will be a complete story of the negotiations wit.i Japan, including the latest developments. The correspondent says: "The Czar wishes, as he told Count Lamsdorf, that the whole truth shall be given to the public. He is personally against war and refuses to beliee that it will come. He hopes to convince Japan that Russia's wishes are reasonable and must be respected. Accordingly the communication chiefly embraces five points: "First Japan will get various concessions in Korea. "Second In South Korea the Japanese can act not only in their economical interests, but they can adopt strategetic measures corresponding with these interests. "Third Russia allows Japan full commercial freedom of action in North Korea, but Japan must not permanently occupy fortified towns either to the north or south, and neither on the coast nor in the interior. "Fourth A neutral zone of fifty kilometers broad is to be created between Ko rea and Manchuria along the Yalu and j Tumen rivers, in which neither Russia nor Japan can establish fortified positions; also that the strait between Japan and Korea shall be neutral thus giving free ingress and egress to Russian vessels. "Fifth In reference to Manchuria Russia accepts no conditions, but declares that she Is ready to permit Japan and other powers to represent their interests, embracing the 'open door' for Mukden and New Chwang. "The Czar personally edited and corrected the above points of the communication." The Lokcl Anzeiger s correspondent adds that Admiral Alh'Xeff, the Russian viceroy in the far East, has of late been semlir.i; two or three comprehensive dispatches daily to the government in which h. t ;i k a gloomy view of future development. The war Idea is unpopular in Russia, but it is feared that some untoward incident may occur any day which will make it inevitable for Russia to become fuliy convinced of Japan s warlike intentions. REPARATIONS FOR WAR BY JAPAN AND RUSSIA WASHINGTON. Jan. ll.-The State Department has been informed that Japan has requisitioned thirty merchant vessels for transports. Advices received here show that the Russians are increasing their guard at Seoul dally and that the French have made arrangements to establish a guard there. PARIS. Jan. 11. A special dispatch to the Patrle from Harbin, a town on the Manehurian railroad, describes the Ruasian war preparations. The Russian officers declare war Is Inevitable, hut udd that they are ready. Port Arthur, it Is further asserted, will be occupied by 100,000 neu and In ten days reinforcements of 100.000 men can reach Manchuria. MOSCOW. Jan. 11 -Notwithstanding the rumors of movements on the part of the Russian and Japanese armies and navies, w.ir Is not otiaidered likely here.

MR. MORGAN'S CHARGE AGAINST CONSUL GUDGER Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Jan. 11. -Vigorous effort have been put forth by the Democrats to find some evidence that this government lent aid to the Panama revolutionists. The nearest approach to a direct charge of such aid Is made by Senator Morgan, who asserts that notwithstanding the declarations In the President's message to the contrary, this government, through Its agents, did aid In the separation of Panama from Colombia. He says that the I'nlted States consul, through whom this Rovernmeut recognised the de facto Panama gvernment, had a controlling interest anc was one of the offlcers of tne bank which had pledge 1 itself to furnish money to aid the secessionists, and pay for the Colombian troops. Senator Morgan Insists that there are ample reasons for Inferring that Colonel Black, of the United State military forces, was in command of a certain movement of the people of Panama about the time of the revolution, and that he himself aided in raising the Panama flag. This is the only reply the Democrats have made to the flat and emphatic denial by President Roosevelt that this govei nment aided the revolution. JAPAN'S FORMAL REPLY TO RUSSIA NOT READY.
