VICEROY ALEXIEFF IS SAID TO POWER

10 If Circtim stances Render It Neccssaij He May Declare War Against Japan. MEETING OF JAPANESE Conference Is Held by the Cabinet, Eltler Statesmen and Military Chiefs. LONDON, Feb. 3. A dispatch to Reuter's Telegram Company from St. Petersburg, dated vest' nlay and forwarded by way of the frontier, says the Russian general staff has given Viceroy Alexl'ff authority to declare war and open hostilities on his own responsibility If circumstances render it necessary. The dispatch adds that an imperial manifesto declaring war is expected If the Japanese government does not accept the conditions proposed in Russia's PMpon.se, which, it Is delated, will M Russia's last word. RUSSIA WILL NOT SEND REPLY UNTIL FRIDAY ST. rETERSnrilG, Feb. 3. -The statement printed abroad that the Russian reply is being held back while M. Kurino, the Japanese minister, communicates its substance to his government, is untrue. The Associated Press la semi-ofTlcially assured that the Russian response will not be sent before Feb. 5 at the earliest. The tension unquestionably Is Increasing, and the bourse shows an adverse feeling, but beyond the decided Russian military activity there Is little definite news. The strain here is manifested by the continuous semi-panicky condition of the bourse. The papers still hope for peace, but they show a more skeptical tone. The Raas, declaring that in spite of alarmist rumors, it floes not think there will be war, on the ground that there is nothing In the negotiations to warrant war. welcomes the warnings to Japan in the French press, which, the Russ says, has lost patience with the malicious campaign which prevents a psaCS) ful settlement and regrets that hitherto continental press has done nothing to check the agitation in the British newspapers. The paper says that if the newspaper exaggerations had been eliminated there was no reason why the negotiation should not already have reached a peaceful settlement. The situation, the Russ adds, is now acute, but may not result in war. The Novoe Vremya's correspondent, who has just arrived at Port Arthur, telegraphs an interesting description of his Journey and the awful winter conditions in Manchuria, including 47 degrees of frost, little snow and whirlwinds sweeping clouds of dust across the yellow, treeless wastes. He says: "Crowds of wrinkled, filthy Chinamen assembled at the station and among them, like young oaks, towered the stalwart Russian frontier guards, with puie en -rgetic faces and Wearing sheepskin hats." The correspondent also says: "If there is war the opinion prevails at Port Arthur that the United States, which for years has been preparing to monopolize the trade of the far East, will be the gainer. The Japanese will be food for powder. Over tlnir prostrate bodies America will get a foothold on the Asiatic continent and eventually her millionaires will get the Chinese viceroys under their thumbs and American machinery will convert Asia into a factory which will swamp the West with the products of Chinese cheap labor, exclude Europe from the Pacific and leave, her the prey to the vampire Socialism." IMPORTANT MEETING OF JAPANESE LEADERS TOKIO, Feb. 3.A specially summoned conference of the Cabinet, elder statesmen and military and naval chiefs was held today at the residence of Premier Katsura. The meeting is believed to have been of much importance. Possibly it foreshadows eat rgetic action on account of Russian procrastination. The conference lasted several hours. While it was going on Premier Katsura and Foreign Minister Komura had a long conference with the Emperor. The result of the conference is not known. Although the government officials continue reticent, it is manifest the situation is of the gravest, and that a crisis is near at hand. The time In which the Russian reply will continue to be a factor in the situation is narrowing. Tne patience of the government is becoming exhausted, and If the expected answer is delayed many days longer the issuance of an ultimatum by Japan may become inevitable. The Japanese feel that the existing coadtUOM have entitled them to a more prompt reply, and are bound to infer that the St. Petersburg KUter ameat is determined not to yield, but is utilizing the time to advance its preparations for war. MOVEMENTS AT PORT ARTHUR ARE WARLIKE PORT ARTHUR, Feb. C In response to the Japanese war measures important naval and military movements have been effect d Ii re. The Russian squadron heretofore inside the harbor, consisting of the battleship Retvizan, of 12.700 tons; the battleship lVresvlet. of 12.674 tons; the battleship Czarevitch, of 13.110 tons; the cruiser Ftemiaschek. the battleship Orel, of 13.600 tous; the cruiser Smylie ami the battleship Sevastopol, of 10,150 tons, hve joined the outside tleet. consisting of the battleship Prohieda. of 12.'i74 tons; the battleship PetropavlOTSk, of lO.ytiO tons; the battleship E'oltava. of 10.H60 tons; the cruiser Diana, of 6.6110 tons; the cruiser Pallada, of 6,630 tons; the cruiser Askold. ot 6.100 tons; the cruiser Varyag. of 6,500 tons; the torpedo gunboat Hakan, of 840 tons, and the cruiser Hoya r in. of 3.200 tons. The last-named v sse'l has just arrived here from Chemulpo. Korea, with complete Japanese charts of the Korean coasts. In consequence of the narrow and dangerous entrance at low wnUr ii took the warships three days to get out of the harbor. The accomplishment of this task Is regarded as specially important owing to the danger of the ships being immured by an accident in the harbor. The cruiser Djigit. of 1.456 tons; the torpedo gunboat (laidanvik. of ."V ') tons; the sloop-of-war Zabayaka. of 1. ;',; tons; four gunboats and tla torpedo flotilla remain inside. Simultaneously the Third Iirigade of Siberian rifles and two batteries of artillery started for an unannounced destination from Liao-Yang. south of Mukden. Altogether about t t .- have d. parted, leaving lo.ono men at Port Arthur, exclusive of the troops manning the fortifications. The arrivals of Japanese coal have been stopped. In consequence of the military authorities monopolizing the use of the railroad the latter has declined to transport any more commercial freight. The P 1. graph company du. lines to aco pt any more press or private nv-s.ciges, so they will have to be routed via Che-Foo. Forty-eight hours' quarantine has been ordered against t he-Ftoo on account of smallpox. The authorities declare the naval and military dispositions should be regarded as precautionary, inrt as offensive. Port Arthur is quiet. RUSSIA STILL BENT ON AVERTING TROUBLE PARK Eeb. 3.-Tho Revue Russe says It has just received authoritative information showing that Russia is resolutely maintaining a pacific policy and that In the note aiMut to be transmitted to Japan she has made all the concessions compatible with dignity Russia will declare therein, the paper continues, that her interests In connection with 'the railroad are too great for her not to insist upon occupying a position which will i:lie her to ptoi.et this costly enterprise, but she recognizes also the right of Japan to develop, extend and treat - outlets in Main hurla as well as in Korea.

In any case, the paper concludes, Itussia has decided not to engage Japan unless she is directly attacked. SITUATION CERTAINLY VERY THREATENING LONDON'. Feb. 3.-IJaron Hayashi, Japanese minister to Great Britain, described the situation in the far East to-night "certainly very threatening." but said that everything depended upon Russia's reply. "It is highly improbable," the minister continued, "that Russia will make any aKKressive move before the Japanese government has received and considered the Russian reply. What Russia wishes to do is to throw the responsibility of taking the initiative upon Japan." The foregoing utterances were provoked on being shown the threatening press dispatches from St. Petersburg. RUMOR THAT RUSSIA HAS DECLARED WAR LONDON, Feb. 3. Juti before the adjournment of the night session of the House of Commons a member asked the government whether it had any Information concerning the rumor that Russia had declared war. To this question Home Secretary Ackers-Douglass replied, "None whatever." SEOUL-FUSAN ROAD OCCUPIED BY JAPANESE FT. PETERSBURG. Feb. 3 The SeoulFusan Railroad has been occupied by JapaI aa troops, according to a dispatch from Vladivostock, which adds that the Japanese have taken field guns to Seoul for the protection of their legation and that they are building barracks for the accommodation of cavalry.

Lafayette Woman May Salve the Mystery of Miss Schafer s Murder

(CONri.FDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) desert ption of the man, as Sholty remembers it from the girl's story, is a tall man wearing a mud bespattered coat and a cap. NEW LIGHT ON THE CRIME:. Behind barred doors, confronted by detectives and city officials, James McDonald, the driver of a coal wagon, to-night told a story which throws new light on the murder. It was considered of such importance that McDonald was instructed to talk to no one and the detectives and officials refused absolutely to discuss it. A stenographer was present and every bit of the man's testimony was taken down in writing. McDonald was closeted in City Hall for over an hour. He left through a door at the rear of the building, eluding the newspaper men on watch. McDonald told of walking to his home'on L street the night of the murder. He was In front of Miss Schäfer and Captain Alexander and heard the conversation between the two. Be remembered the young school teacher, remarking she was singing, not talking, to herself. Crossing Fourteenth stnet, McDonald passed two men at the corner. He eyed them suspiciously, and was able to give an accurate description of them to the detectives. Both were roughlooking and appeared not to heed the rain which was f illing at the time. McDonald hurritd on and saw no more of the two. Upon this testimony the detectives will renew efforts to locate the two men, one of whom was heard to say, "Eddn't she fall when I smashed her." This conversation was overheard as the two were walking north on L street, two blocks from the cab shed. To-morrow will tell whether the description tallies. McDon.dd was seen at his home on Ninth street at midnight and he refused to say whether he recognized the men. The officials declare he testified he did not. If any belief is placed in the story the only motive plausible Is robbery. LETTKR THAT MAY AID. In a letter received within the last fortyeight hours, the Pinkertons and the local officials believe a clew has ben given them which may tend to throw light on the mystery of the murder of Sarah Schäfer. The deti 1 tives appear confident and S. B. Lowe, of the investigating committee, stated that more tarts important to the investigation have bean unearthed within the last two days than at any time since the murder. The source of the letter ca.nnot be learned, but that it alone furnishes the new clew was admitted by Mr. Lowe to-night. It Is believ J. however, that there are more grounds for belief in the latest information than in the myriad letters that hare t' led the rity Hall since the night of the crime. The Pinkertons are most secretie about their movements, and, aside from stating that the situation apptars blighter, they give out nothing. Assist, i t Superinten lent Reed declined to tell the Whereabouts of Detective O'Brien, who lett the city early Tuesday n.orning. It was learned, however, that he tame In re only fOf instructions and left to investigate tor am coming from different cities and gather together bits of evidence deemed necessary about which the detectives have only had an inkling thus far. He was in Elkhart to-day conferring with members of the Schäfer family. He will be in Indianapolis before he returns to Bedford, but what work he will do there in connection with the mystery cannot be learned. It is known that the testimony of Miss Bra Love has not by any means be. n eliminated from the investigation. O'Brien's errand to Indiana p !is tray be the same as Sh- riff Smith's. Notwithstanding stories and statements of new clews and new theories the investigation continues along old lines The history of a Bedford man. the one about whom Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde stories have been told in the past, is being subjected to the scrutiny of the Ptnkertoaa. The Chicago officers are investigating the connections of the man before he came to this city. The suspe. t. for such he is. has been already examined twice by the detectives and there arc those who have been dosely nsNniii. d with the d. teetiv s at tim-s in th. investigation who believe development? In this direction account for the confidence of success on the part of the officers. BOUGHT WHISKY AND GOT DKIW'K Information considered most Important has be. n giv n In regard to a man krown to have purchased u half-pint bottle of whisky at Hall A Dorsey's saloon the dav of the murder. The story of the sale of the liquor eom.s from an authentic sour. -, although ( harl.s Hall, of the firm, denies any knowledge of it. The man purchased the whisky late in the afternoon, and ft 6 t o clock, was uesiTioeu as crazy utuuk.

SEPTEHIA THE CAUSE Of 1 C, TOTS DEATH Toxin Produced Peritonitis, Spread to Brain Cells and Paralvsis Resulted.

NAVAL OFFICERS SORRY NEW YORK. Feb. 3. öeptemia was the immediate cause of the death of William C. Whitney, former Secretary of the Navy, who passed away Tuesday evening. A semiofficial account of his last hours is to the effect that the toxin which produced p ritonitis following the operation for appen dicitis, gradually spread through the tisj sues of the body until it reached the brain cells, when there was paralysis and death. The physicians had concluded to open the superficial wound and examine the area from which the pus was absorbed by the drain inserted after the operation. It was impossible to make this examination without putting the patient under the influence of an anesthetic on account of the great pain. The ether was administered, the wound was opened and the lower part examined. While this was going on three doctors kept the closest watch of the patient's pulse and heart-beats. Before the examination was concluded it was noticed that Mr. Whitney was sinking. The administration of ether was immediately stopped, but before its effects could wear off he was dead. Payne Whitney, the second son, and his wife, daughter of Secretary of State John Hay, arrived from Georgia a few hours too late. It is said Harry Payne Whitney, the elder son, never left his father's side. He was deeply affected owing to the strong attachment for his father, they having been almost constant companions. Mrs. Almeric Hugh Paget, the elder daughter, who has been living for several years in London, is expected to have sailed, and it is said the family will, if possible, delay the funeral until she arrives. Cognisance of Mr. Whitney's death was tak n in many courts in this city, tributes to his memory being rendered by judges and members of the bar. The pallbearers for the funeral of the late William C. Whitney were announced this afternoon as follows: Qruvef Cleveland, Thomas F. Ryan, Elihu Root, Thomas Dolan. J. Pierpont Morgan, Grant B. Behl y. Col. William M. Jay. P. A. B. Widener, H. McK. Twombley and G. G. Haven. William Ordway Patrldge, the sculptor, took a death mask of Mr. Whitney to-day. Flairs at Hulf-Mnst. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. News of the death of William C. Whitney caused a painful impression here, particularly among the employes of the Navy Department, and among naval officers who had served under the Whitney administration. The first class loved him because of his many warm traits of heart, his generous acts and the active sympathy he always manifested in the welfare of th' humblest worker in the Navy Department. H was always seeking to better their condition, and the cl rks owed to him many Indulgences which made their lot happier and their work less onerous. Naval officers held him in high esteem because of an abiding belief on their part that to William C. Whltne was owing In great measure the magnificent naval establishment. He was regarded by these officers as the father of the American modern navy. Official notice of the late secretary's death was taken to-day when the flags over the Navy Department building and the annex were ordered to be placed at half-mast and to be kept so until after the funeral. He became Involved In an altercation with another man about that time, the police say. He lives beyond the home of Mrs. Smith, where Miss Schäfer roomed, and pass.- the alley on L street b. twe. u Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. The Idea, however, that the crime was committed by a drunken man. or even by oue not acquainted with Miss Schäfer, is hooted at by some of the officials. The story, however, may explain the presence of the whisky within the alley. Deputy Prosecutor Ell Stephenson is busily engaged pr paring a list of witnesses for the coming session of the grand jury and arranging for the rigid investigation Into the mystery, which will be prosecuted hy that body. Every bit of evidence in the hands of the Pinkertons will be threshed over and much other considered important toward the solution of the crime and the conviction of its perpetrator. The deputy prosecutor is proceeding on the theory that no arrest will be made before the session of the grand jury, which convenes Feb. 15. A fact deplored bv the better elt-ment of Bedford's citlzins is that politics has entered into the investigation. An editorial, bitter and Invective, attacking Mavor J. Hickson Smith and his fellow-officials because an arrest has not been made and ridiculing their efforts Joward a s-olution of the crime has appeared In a Bedford paper. In the midst of a campaign for nomination the mayor has thrown aside his own personal intmst in politics and devoted his entire time to the investigation, lu addition to the worry incidental to the court of inqury one of his little children has been critically ill for a week past. To-night in the local paper the mayor issued a statement in which he said: "On account of my official duties requiring the giving of my whole time to the investigation Of the murder of Miss Schafer I find it impossible to further my candidacy for renomination as mayor by calling upon you personally and soliciting your votes. The emergency arose that made it necessary to choose between my personal interests and official duty. I shall have to ask my friends to look after my interests for the rest of the campaign." JOSEPH WEIMER. TRYING TO FIND THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WARSAW. Ind., Feb. 3.-Searching for information in an effort to unravel the Bedford mystery, two detectives at work on the case were In conference here to-dny with Officers Douglass and Winebnnner. The detectives wer particularly seeking information in regard to a stranger who app'b d to the Warsaw officers for lodging on the Saturday night preceding the murd. r of Miss Schäfer. The stranger was well dress d for a tramp, and w hen questioned in regard to this point asserted that he had met with a streak of bad luck and was "Hat broke." It has been ascertained that the man was formerly a resident of Elkhart and until recently had been employed in South Bend. The description tallies, "the detectives told the local offio rs. with that of the man they are trying to tind. who was seen in Bedford on the t veiling of the murder, and it is presumed the man was on his way to Bedford when he came through Warsaw.

ItfKBfdJ mm SMSSSBSBBESflBBSBHSSnSBSSaSBBBSSBBBBBBBBBl JOHN REDMOND. Who Spoke In Ilehalf of Ireland In the House of Commons Yesterday. JOHN REDMOND SPEAKS II BEHALF OF Says the Government Has Plaved "the Devil's Game of False Promises."" HOME RULE IS WANTED LOXDOX, Feb. 3.-"For the Irish party there is no such thing as an alternative policy to home rule," declared John Redmond, the leader of the Irish parliamentary party in the House of Commons to-day as he resumed the debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne. Mr. Redmond proceeded, in a speech of great length, to detail the various grievances of Ireland, incidentally informing the Liberals thßt it was a delusion to suppose they could count on Irish support by promising an alternative policy to home rule. Because the Irish obtained a valuable act last year remedying some of the evils of past government some persons seemed to think that the Irish question was shelved, but no concession could weaken the demand for selfgovernment. On the contrary, every concession they had obtained or might obtain w'ould be used for the furtherance of the contest for home rule. The Irish would rather govern themselves badly than be governed well by another nation. Mr. Redmond bitterly attacked the government's attitude on education in Ireland, describing it as grossly absurd and irreparably harmful to the youth of Ireland. The government! course on the Irish Cnirersify question, he added, was a dishonest evasion of an admitted duty and a grievance which poisoned the life of Ireland and condemned her to failure in the struggle of nations. The government, continued Mr. Redmond, had played "the devil's game of false promise" too often and if the government desired the support of the Irish in Parliament and at the polls, nothing short of the introduction of the requisite legislation would secure it. Referring to the land question Mr. Redmond said the failure of last year's act proved that this Parliament had neither time nor capacity to legislate satisfactorily for Ireland. The act must be amended forthwith, alike in the interests of the tenants and landlords. Mr. Redmond concluded with a few scathing remarks concerning "that irritating anachromism known as Dublin "tstle, declining the present government of Ireland was "too rotten to be mended and must therefore be ended." It would be the duty of the Itish to oppose the government unless the latter foreshadowed some appreciable advance on the road to home rule. Mr. Redmond, who was supported by a full representation on the Irish benches, received an ovation from his followers at the close of his forceful, outspoken criticism. Mr. Wyndham, chief secretary for Ireland, in reply, announced the government's intention to introduce an act amending the Irish land act and clearing all the doubtful points. In regard to the university, Mr. Wyndham said the government had no Intention of legislating at present. The question ought to be settled, but it is useless to attempt anything until a more substantial agreement had been arrived at between all the parties. CLINTON CARPENTER IS IN SERIOUS CONDITION Faint from Hunger, the Young Man Falls While W alking the Streets. Faint with hiinger and nearly frozen, Clinton Carpenter, of Grand Rapids, Mich., fell at the corner of Capitol avenue and Ohio street about 12 o'clock last night. For nearly an hour his condition was regarded as serious, but he finally rallied and was removed to the City Hospital by Dr. Jeffri s in the Dispensary ambulance. Carpenter came to this city during the early part of January and has been seeking a position. I'ntil a few days ago he made his home with a family on North Illinois street, but the family moved from the city and the young man. having practically exhausted all of his scanty SUBfey of money, was unable to secure a boarding house. For two days he did not eat. and with the money saved in this manner was able to secure a place to sleep during the night. Last evening he could stand it no longer and spent the last cent he had for supper, determining to wulk the streets the balance of the night. The cold and lack of proper food proved too much for him and he fell. He was discovered lying in the snow along the sid.walk by some people passing, who promptly carried him into the office of Realnan Blaekv.-ell. It was at first thought that he w.is Intoxicated and Bicyelemen Askins and Duncan were called. The officers, noting his condition, called the Dispensary. LOSSES BY FIRE, CINCINNATI O.. Feb. 3.

He went to Mexico, but was induced to come back to St. Louis and turn state's evidence. ' He told of the formation of the House of Delegates combine; how and w;hen they held their meetings; the number present; the various propositions regarding the lighting bill, and the attitude of the "boys'" toward that legislation. He recited that the combine met and decided on $75.000 as the price for which they would pass the lighting bill. Subsequently, he said, he had a cone.rsation with Butler in which the latter fixed the maximum price to be paid at $47.600. Murreli then went on to tell how he reported Butler's ultimatum back to the coinbine. He said he met Butler for the sacond time regarding the lighting bill negotiations on Nov. 28, 1899. The bill was passed on the night of that day. Murreli said Butler repeated his proposition on this occasion. On the 20th the lighting bill was killed by the House combine. The boodle fund of $47.500, Murreli testified, was to insure reConsideration. Lehmann presented the motion to reconsider. Murreli then told how the nineteen members of the combine met at the home of Julius Iehmann and divided the $47.500. He got $2,500, as did each of the others, he said. Former Delegate John Helms related how he and "Kid" Sheridan, a fellow-member, trailed Charles F. Kelly and Edmond Bersch from the city hall to Butler's office, and thence to Julius Lehmann s home, to make sure that no part of the $47,500 boodle fund should fail to reach the appointed place of distribution. HEARST BOOMERS AT WORK IN ILLINOIS Claim They Will Have Twenty Members of the State Delegation. CHICAGO. Feb. 3 The Democratic state committee to-day fixed the date of the state convention as June 14 and decided upon Springfield as the place for holding it. The presidential aspirations of various candidates were under consideration, and varying claims were made for each candidate after the adjournment. It was claimed by the friends of William R. Hearst that a poll of the congressional district committeemen showed that their man would have a majority of the delegates to the national convention In St. Louis. They asserted that Mr. Hearst was already sure of twenty, while they were willing to concede twelve to Congressman James R. Williams. On the other hand, the adherents of Congn UV man Williams assert that he will have the solid delegation from Illinois when the national convention meets on July 6. LIMIT OF THE LA W FOR EMBEZZLEMENT George A. Rose, a Cleveland Rank Cashier, Given Ten-Year Sentence for Stealing $187,000. CLEVELAND, Feb. 3 George A. Rose, late cashier of the Produce Exchange Bank, who recently confessed embezzling $187,JOO of the bank's funds, was to-day sentenced to serve ten years in the penitentiary by Judge Dlssette In Criminal Court. The sentence was the extreme limit of punishment that could be inflicted under the Ohio laws for the offense. With good behavior Rose can reduce his imprisonment to six years and four months. When brought into court to-day Rose was pale and greatly emaciated. Asked If he had anything to say before sentence was pronounced, the prisoner replied: "I am truly sorry for what I have done and am willing to take my punishment." MAYOR MADE OVERTURES TO THEJTAGGART CROWD He Wants to Be a Delegate to the Democratic National Convention. Democratic primaries for the election of precinct committeemen will be held this evening from 4 till 8 o'clock throughout Marion county. It Is understood that the Taggurt slate of committeemen will go through uncontested in practically every precinct, as the Keach and Holtzman forces say they have no candidate for county chairman and do not intend to make a fight agninst the Taggsrt faction. The committeemen elected this evening will meet Saturday night at 7:30 o'clock In Masonic Hall to effect a new county organization. Charles B. Clarke I3 the only avowed candidate to succeed County Chairman W. W. Spencer and he will prob.-b f be elected. He is backed by the Taggart faction. In the war of words which has developed between the leaders of the respective faction over the propriety of calling the primaries with but three days' notice it was learned yesterdny that Mayor Holtzman had sought to make a deal with thf Taggart forces whereby he would guarantee that the administration would not make a light on the Tnggurt candidate for county chairman provided he (the mayor) was given assurance that he would be one of the delegales from this district to the Democratic national convention. It also developed that the mayor's overtures were not received with any encouragement from Joseph T. . Fanning, district chairman, with whom he sought to negotiate the deal, arvl that his J indignation over the "snap" convention was due primarily to the "turning down" he received. Those who are In touch with th - loaders of the Taggart faction say that Mayor HoPzman will not be a delegate to the national convention, in spite of the fart ; that ie indicated a willingness to cut loose from City Chairman Keuch, the mjin who made him. politically, and ally himself v. th Keaeh's political enemies if he miht attafn rdf ambition. It is conceded that the Taggr.rt crowd will control the s. t: of national delegates. Water IntftSalniSJ Plant.
