Unconfirmed Rumors of Battles Ashore Come from the Far East

(CONrrj'Ti:n from first pack course of a conversation with representative of the Associated rtss at the era- ; hussy to-night. The ambassador spoke in general on the far Cistern situation. Al though the negotiations on the neutrality propoattloa have been carri' d on almost entirely betWfii the several foreign governments addressed and the American envoys accredited to their., the weight of the word of the Russian ami) ior at Wash ington in the counstis oi his Maj. sty v. is .-troiiulv Influential in the shaping ox Rus sia's reply. As soon as the Russian note was ad:i ssed to the Russian government Count Cassini was advised of the Uc. by Scrctary Hay. and a long and earnest convernation followed on the rr.otiv a of the Washington government in initiating this move, unique in diplomacy. To the frankness of this conversation ht laryeiy uue, it is sail, the prompt response of the Russian gov ernment, which is naturally concerned with many matters of the gravest Importance, and some demanding the most speedy attention, such as war measures. "II is fortunate." continued the ambassador, "thai whatever may be the feeling here and there in the I'nited States of sympathy for Japan, the traditio! al and, so far as Russia is concerned, the highly prized fri- ndlv relations between the Washington and St. Petersburg governments in no way have ben interfered with. Every mail brings to the embassy some fifty to one hun.lrPfl rnritrndirti(,ns. in the form of of fers of assistance, medical and military, of the statement that Russia is without friends in this country. It is so in this country, as in every other, that the smaller nation "in the struggle tan count on a certain amount of sympathy, arising solely from the fact of its minority, but it is a tribute to the fairness of your government that the official conduct of your government certainlv has been all that either belligerent coula expect in the preservation of the strict neutrality which the President directed shall be observed by his people. "So numerous have these oft'eis oi medical and other aid become that I have felt it my duty to bring them to the attention of mv government. It is possible that in recognition of the kindly spirit of humanity and friendliness which is evidenced by the American physicians offering their assistance that my government may rind a way to accept some of tiiem, and that American physicians and nurses may aid us in caring for the wounded in the far I-; astern war. I am dally expecting an answer from St. Petersburg on this point. "In the earnest hope that peace might be preserved, with Japan, my government was giving more attention to the methods by which a diplomatic settlement might be reached other than to preparations for the recourse to arms which we are now convinced Japan had determined on at the outset of the negotiations. For t Iiis reason, the first chapter in the far Eastern war has not been characterized by Russian victories). "The truth, however, has been made public as rapidly as Admiral Alexleff's dispatches have been reported to his Majesty. In this first chapter, however, is contained a picture, which, as was to be expected, the fair spirit of Americans was quick to appreciate and applaud. I refer to the noble conduct of the captain of the Variag, who. alter refusing to surrender his ship, went out of the harbor of Chemulpo to face an overwhelming force of Japanese warships, to whose fire he replied as effectively as he could, and then blew up his own ship that she might not fall into the hands of the enemy. The contribution of such a page to Russian history' more than compensates for any losses sustained by our navy as a result of Japan attacking us before a declaration of war, and while her envoy at St. Petersburg was still enjoying the courtesy and protection of the Russian government. "In the interests of the world's humanity I am confident all nations will hope for the success of Secretary Hay's effort to limit the deplorable war to the belligerents now engaged." RUSSIANS CRITICISE I'lCKSBURG'S CAPTAIX ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 21. The actions of the commander of the I'nited States gunboat Vicksburg in declining to join the commanders of other foreign warships in prot . ting against the attack of the Japanese fleet at Chemulpo, which resulted in the sinking of the Russian cruisers Variag and Korietz, promises to cause much discussion here. The Novoe Vremya's London correspondent cables that the protest of the British captain against the Japanese attack on the ground that it was a breach of neu trality proved ineffectual, because the American commander would not asscut. , . - a ft. ' newspapers nere ur- at stress on me personal note of Mr. Kurino, the Japanese minister at St. Petersburg, to Coast Lamsdorff. the Russian foreign minister, on the occasion of the notification of the severance of diplomatic relations, in which Mr. Kurino expressed the hope that the rupture would be of brief duration. They point to thia incident as a proof that Russia had no reason to believe that Japan intended to follow up the rupture with actual hostilities. Official news received here confirms the report that none of the crew of the Korietz was lost. An immense congregation attended the requiem mass to-day for Count Nirod, the only officer killed aboard the Variag. Tho count was a great favorite in St. Petersburg society. AMERICAN SHIPS ARE ORDERED BACK SOUTH CHE-FOO, Feb. 21. The United States cruiser New Orleans and the gunboats Wilmington and Annapolis, which sailed from Manila on Feb. 15 under com mane" of Rear Admiral Cooper, upon arriving here received orders from the secretary of the navy to return to Shanghai. When the outbreak of hostilities between Russia and Japan occurred Admiral Evans, commanding the Asiatic fleet, dispatched a cruiser squadron to Shanghai and Admiral Cooper's 8quadrou to Che-Foo. Secretary Moody has ordered all ships to Shanghai. They kt't immediately after coaling without giving any reason for their sudden departure. The Russian forces in Manchuria are so far acting entirely on the defensive. Extensive preparations are being made at Palny. Port Arthur, New-Chwang and Liao-Yang to prevent the threatened landing of the Japanese troops. A big force of men is at work on the damaged vessels in the Port Arthur harbor, and efforts are beinK made to raise the battleship Retvizan. The supply of fresh v. gi tables and beef in Port Arthur is becoming very short, and speculators are endeavoring to secure steamers to run the blockade. STATUS OF LEASED POINTS UNCHANGED PARIS. Feb. 21. While France has acceeded to the British proposal for the extension of neutrality by China to all points in China leased by powers save those occupied by Russia, th? Foreign Office says that such action in nowise Impairs the rights of the powers umh r their leases. The question has Ixen brought up that the British proposal tended to reaffirm Chinese sovereignty over the points occupied, as well as to foreign municipalities, but the view of the French authorities is that there is no change In the stutus of thes territories in consequence of the extension of Chinese mull Wis to them.

Tl.. K. ho de Paris s Bt. Petersburg correspondent says with re gard to rumors in circulation that the apHjtntmeut of ... ial Kuropatkin to the

command of the Russian army in Manchuria meant th.it Viceroy Alexieff was losing favor, that the truth is as follows: "When the war broke out the Czar asked Viceroy Alexi ff whether he deemed it necessary to send a general to command th troops, and. It so, whom he preferred. The viceroy replied that he considered it necessary to have a chief commander of the land troops, but that hi had no preference as to who should be selected. The Czar thereupon : ?ked him whether General Kuropatkin would be ar.eibje, ami the admiral replied: Absolutely, but I beg your Majesty to i. . hn rp; me from all responsibility for the land operations, leaving those to General Kuropatkin.' " Viceroy Abxieff retains the viceroyship. but General Kuropatkin is empowered to communicate directly with the Czar. OFFICIAL RUSSIAN REPORT ON BATTLE

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 21. The official account of the battle of Chemulpo, given by M. Pavloff. Russian minister of Korea, who left Seoul lor China Feb. 13, is practically identical with the report previously cabled. M. Pavloff says that the Japan M captain of the cruiser Takachiho sunk his vessel the night following the battle, and that the Russian fire silenced the Asam's barbette and wrecked her bridge. The Asam transferred eighty killed or wounded to a transport. The Japanese minister on the same night had an Interview with the Emperor, uCcording to M. Pavloff's report, and threatened to occupy the imperial palace unless Japan's sovereignty in Korea was recognized. PRAGUE STUDENTS ARE HOSTILE TO AMERICA VIENNA, Feb. 21. Following a service of intercession in the Russian Church at Prague to-day for the success of Russian arms, several hundred Slav students gathered In front of the church and created a disturbance. They then proceeded toward the Fnited States consulate, where they intended to make a hostile demonstration, but the police closed all the streets leading to the consulate, and after some opposition succeeded in dispersing the demonstrators and in arresting many of them. CONSUL UNABLE TO HELP THE REFUGEES YIN-KOW, Feb. 21 All Fnited States Consul Miller's efforts to arrange for his representative to meet the Japanese refugees at New-Chwang have failed. The obstacles which the vice regal and civic administrations placed in his way seemed to indicate that it is the intention of the authorities to control and remove the refugees so as to prevent their lodging complaints and laying evidence of their treatment before foreigners. RUSSIAN GUNBOAT IS ORDERED FROM PORT SHANGHAI. Feb. 21. Urged by the Japanese consul here, the Taotal ordered the Russian gunboat Mandjur to leave the harbor before 5 o'clock this afternoon, but the order was ignored. It is said that a Japanese squadron has been ordered to enforce the Taotal's demand and to enable Japan steamship companies to resume service between Japan and Shanghai. MwSfi Willing to Mediate. PARIS. Feb. 22. The Petit Parisienne's London correspondent says that during an interview preceding the departure from London for St. Petersburg yesterday of Count Benckendorff, the Russian ambassador. Lord Lansdowne, the British foreign minister, intimated to him that King Edward was willing to offer his mediation In the war in the far East if the Czar thought he could accept it. Spuln Will Deny Reports. PARIS. Feb. 21. The correspondent at Madrid of the Temps says that in the session of the Cortes on Monday the government will deny the reports of foreign alliances which were the cause of the excitement Saturday and will say that the movements of troops are only precautionary and for the purpose of enforcing Spanish neutrality in the war in the far East. Japnnese Officers Recalled. PARIS. Feb. 21. Captains Ogala and Shimaoulol, of the Japanese artillery, who are attending a course of instructions at the School of Application at Fontainebleau, were to-day recalled by the Japanese government. SnllorN Leave Cunceled. L'ORIENT, France, Feb. 21. Fifty sailors now on leave here, destined for the far East, have been canceled. They will sail on Feb. 25 instead of March 6 as at ftrst contemplated. HANNA'S BODY TO BE LAID AWAY TO-DAY Unless Mrs. Hanna Is Too Sick to Attend It ill Be Buried in the Family Lot. CLEVELAND, Feb. 21. To-morrow afternoon, without unnecessary ceremony, the casket which contains the remains of the late Senator Hanna will be placed in the tomb, and all that is mortal of the dead statesman will have been hidden from the eyes of his family and the world. The members oi the family will be present when the casket is taken from the receiving vault, and in all probability will be the only witnesses to the final disposition of the remains of their kinsman. Mrs. Hanna. who has been sick since the funeral services on Friday, is expected to be able to attend, but in cast she is still unable to leave her home it is probable the body will be permitted to repose in the vault until her health is improved sufficiently to permit her presence at the cemetery. SPLENDID GAS H ELL NEAR ALEXANDRIA Struck in Territory Which Had Been Considered Exhausted Oil Well Near By. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ALEXANDRIA. Ind.. Feb. 21.-The Robyn Oil Company, of this city, drilled in and shot one of the best ftas wells in the local field yesterday two miles west of the city. The recent developments of excellent gas wells two miles west of the city disproves, in a large measure, the assertion which has ben current that the local held has been exhausted, although wells .ist and northeast of the city have been of little value for either gaa or oil in the last year or more. Two hundred and sixty-flve quarts of nitroglycerin were used in the ahot. A well across the road with 320 quarts used is now pumping forty barrels of oil per day. and others in the same vicinity are yielding liberal quantities of oil and gas both. Oil men wish there was no gas, as until it is out of the way oil production U much hampered.

The Crackle You Hear Is the Sign They are Fresh RUSSIA'S HOPES RISE Kuropatkin, Beloved of the Army, Goes to the Kront with the Well Wishes of the Empire. FOUR DUKES WITH HIM ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 21.-The appointment of General Kuropatkin, who was yesterday relieved of his functions as minister of war, to the chief command of tho Russian army in the far East, was gazetted this morning. With the possible exception of Oeneral Dragomiroff, formerly governor general of Kleff, and later member of the council of state, General Kuropatkin is the most popular man in the Russian army. As a bluff old soldier who has fought his way up from the bottom to be minister of war, he is the Ideal of the enlisted men. Not one in the Czar's army has seen more fighting, and no one can tell a story better. There is never a dull moment in his company, for he intermingles the humorous incidents of his campaigns with tales of the self-sacrifice of the men whom he led with Skobeleff over the parched wastes of Geok Tepe or over the icy slopes of Plevna. No one meeting the short, grizzled warrior in his charming home on the sunny side of the Hoka would guess the extent of his power or the burden of responsibility weighing on his shoulders. As minister of war he was considered a Just chief who gave rewards and administered punishments without fear or favor. It is small wonder, therefore, that the Russian army adores him. The appointment of General Kuropatkin to direct command in the field has been received with enthusiasm, and his leadership inspires complete confidence that there will be no mistake, and that Russian arms will be carried- to success on land. General Kuropatkin will be accompanied to the front by the Grand Dukes Boris, Alexis, Nicholas and Michael Nikolaievich. The E-mperor and the Empress gave a luncheon to-day to General Kuropatkin and the grand dukes at the Alexandra Palace, Trasske Selo, and bade them farewell. The exact mission of Grand Duke Alexis is unknown, but it is undoubtedly an important one, as he has been in supreme command of the Russian navy as president of the Hoard of Admiralty, taking an active part in the negotiations preceding hostilities. He presided at the special council, wheh prepared Russia's undelivered reply to Japan. Alexis paid a memorably pleasant visit to the Unit-'d States when a young man. His career as hih admiral is well known and brilliant, and he has always surrounded himself with a notable staff. The grand duke has been a prominent figure in two capitals. During the busy months of winter he is often seen here walking on the Grand Orsknja to and from the stately palace and in frout of the new admiraltv dock yard. His favorite resort is the Yacht Club. He spends his summers in Paris. Grand Duke Boris is a lieutenant of hussars and is a dare devil ot a soldi.r. He is likely to distinguish himself in oattie a ad probably will be on the staff of Grand Duke Nicholas. After Boris returned from the United States he bought the palac formerly occupied by Ambassador McCormick. The Grand Duke Nicholas is forty-s. v. n years old and is considered the for most cavalry expert in the Russian arm. is tall and fair, with a pleasant face. As the occupant of the responsible post of inspector general of cavalry he will be able to advise General Kuropatkin, who is an Infantry specialist. Nicholas is one of the few grand dukes who married a commoner, and though his marriage has not been recorded, it is none the less a happy one. His wife was the widow of a wealthy merchant named Bourenin. With General Kuropatkin's appointment as commander-in-chief of the army, ltd the pr- of the Grand Duke Alexis in the far East, the opinion is strengthened that while Admiral Alexieff may remain as viceroy, the active direction of operatlons will pass out of his hands.

TÜRKEI SENDS HURRY ORDER FOR NEW CRUISER Cramps Will Have Ship Ready to Sail March i for Turkish Waters in Fighting Trim. TO UNFURL PORTE'S FLAG PHILADELPHIA, Ft b. 21.-The cruiser Medjidie, built for the imperial Ottoman navy at Cramp's, is under hurry orders to get home. She will leave here on March 1 and will carry her own flag. It had been intended to take the vessel to Constantinople and deliver her there to the Turkish naval authorities, but a change in this plan wa3 found necessary, and the ship will be put in commission and unfurl her flag at this port. Tapt. Ransford B. Bucknam, of Cramp's shipyard, who will take trie cruiser across, has been commissioned a captain in the Ottoman navy, and will put her in commission, lt will also be necessary to commission the other officers. The Medjidie will leave port fully ready for a naval engagement. Her guns, all of the latest pattern in use in the United States navy, were made in Bethlehem, Pa. All are practically in place. The magazines are to be filled with ammunition as if for a war cruise. As soon as the cruiser reaches the sea, the trial of her guns will be begun. This will be made particularly thorough. In view of the haste with which the builders have been charged to deliver the ship only two stops will be made on the long run to Constantinople. The trip will require about twenty days and it may be that a flnal speed test will be made somewhere off the Island of Crete. The exact cause of the hurry orders has not been explained.

CLUB LIFE IS CALLED A MEHCETOTHE FAMILY Minister Pleads for Children, Who, He Says, Are Neglected by Parents. SCORES HOME-BREAKERS "The club life of to-day is a menace to the home" is the opinion held by the Rev. Dr. M. B. Hyde. He also asserts that the wife has the same rights as the husband to such life, which fact reatly depreciates the value of clubs to either the husband or wife, because of a tendency to concentrate their interests in the club, while the interests of their children, he says, are sacrificed. "The family Is menaced by the club life of the time," said Dr. Hyde In his n-rmn yesterday morning. "We fear in some instances the heart centers in the club, and the home feeling: diminishes. If the husband must have a club, why not the wife? It Is safe to say that the domesti virtues exist in inverse ratio to the number of clubs in any given community. "At bottom, in the average family," he said, "love is not wanting, but judgment is seriously at fault. Does it not seem the policy of tho average family to place the stress of effort for the children upon the period of their maturity? Again it is certainly a matter of proper concern how to provide for the children in the matter of worldly groods. but if the stress is placed on this the probability is that the moral culture of the child will be neglected. The basis of all inter't for child culture lies In the lodgment of spiritual truths, that looks to the push of the godward instincts of the child. "Prevention is the word, and if it is followed no reform will be needed. The child should have a training that involves growth, and that is bound up with the very nature of the child, a training that give's trend to thought and action. This training should be along three lines by the parent in the home, in the church and in the state." ANTITOXIN STATIONS TO BE ESTABLISHED CHICAGO.

Insurance companies and savings and state banks and trust companies give ai exhibit of their condition, and theae statements reflect healthy conditions and steady growth. During the year covered by the audltor' report, nine building and loan association in this city retired from business and four were formed, but the cash increase in deposits shows i. growth which whs evidently not affected by the liquidation. "The conditions of the associations as ft whole have improved." aaya the report, "and while there has been no material growth in the business as a whole, many of the Individual associations nave had a successful year. There are still a number of associations winding up their business through voluntary liquidation or a gradual process of retiring their stock, and until this period has passed sn intelligent Judgment as to their future cannot be formed. There is no reason, now that the weak ones have been almost entirely forced out of business, why the properly conducted associations should not continue to grow io popularity and be of great value to ths homeseeker."
