The force of the Yalu is beins incn ,i. 1, but it is doubted if any CODSkk rable number of Russians have crossed the river. The Japanese Cabinet will meet to-morrow to finally consider the programme of financial legislation made necessary by the war, which is to be submitted to the special session of the Iiet. It is understood that it has been decided not o introduce legislation affecting tobacco monopoly. The construction of the railroad from Seoul to Plnsr-Yanp: will le begun on March 10 and the line will be completed by September. Notwithstanding the fact thnt It is understood here that Russia is pressing China to make the territory west of the Liao river neutral. Japan remains apparently calm because she had made the reservation that, should Russia be allowed to obtain this advantage, Japan wifl use .my portion of Chinese territory which is strategically necessary for her operations. AMERICANS WANT TO FIT OUT PRIVATEERS ST. PETERSBURG. March 7. The Associated Press learns that the Russian authorities have been approached indirectly by American shipping firms desiring authority to fit out privateers to prey on Japanese commerce, but that they met with no encouragement. In just what form those offers came or on whose behalf they were made (annot be ascertained, as the government would not even consider them. The Associated Press is able to announce officially that Russia will not issue letters of marque. RUSSIANS COMMITTING EXCESSES IN KOREA SEOUL. March 7. The Russian soldiers operating in the vicinity of Anju are committing all manner of excesses, maltreating the native women and perpetrating robbery upon every opportunity. Korean soldiers attacked a body of the Invaders on Friday last, the 4th instant, and succeeded in killing thirty of them. It Is reported that as a result of a collision between Russians and Koreans at Kang-Ge the Russians were driven beyond the Yalu river. RUMOR THAT JAPAN LOST TWO CRUISERS LONDON. March 8 In a dispatch from St. Petersburg, a correspondent of the Standard gives a rumor that the Czar has received a telegram to the effect that the Japanese fleet bombarded Vladivostok all day Monday. According to this rumor, Only trifling damage was iuflicted to the Russians, but one or two Japanese cruisers were sunk. No word confirming this story has been received in any other quarter, and although there is nothing to show that there DIVES REMAIN OPEN AND 400lOTniE STATIONED But Little Effort at Secrecy Is Made by Keepers in Defying Law . At midnight last night many saloons, in spite of the alleged reformation, could be entered and drinks obtained. At Nick's saloon, formerly Fletcher s, no attempt was made at a private entrance. The front door was kept wide open, and drinks were sold to all who called. More precautions were found at Burkhardt's. where the usual rear entrance was found closed. Upon closer inspection, however, another entrance was discovered. Here "lookouts" were stationed, and evidently those who knew the "password" could get by. A boy coming out of the saloon was asked if he had been inside Burkhardt's. He said that he had. When asked if there were any men In the "dive" he said there were several. He was also asked if any of them were drinking, and an afnrmattve reply was given. Meanwhile the men on the outside were keeping a close guard and closely scrutinising all passers-by. At the Gates dive business was found quiet. Rut the slow trade of last night was more than made up for Saturday und Sunda)' nights, when the barkeeper said he had a flourishing trade John Andrews's place was also found open aftt r hours last night and drinks sold. Reporters were informed that this plan was kept open until about 3 o'clock. All dives were open and cordial Invitations extended to "call again." As the Journal reporters wer? .ning around the Circle early this morning a girl, almost d .id drunk, was being supported by another girl friend and a man, and the three seemed dased and helpless. 4 iiullrr Siena willi Millers.

on Valadivostok was not another bombardment of Vladivostok on Monday, this report is most likely an exaggerated version of Sunday's bombardment. BOMBARDMENT SAID TO BE FOR POLITICAL EFFECT ST. PETERSBURG, March 7. Although the prevailing opinion in military circles continues to-be that the bombardment of Vladivostok Sunday was for the purpose of locating the guns of tne Russian batteries and to ascertain whether the Russian squadron was in port, some shrewd observers believe it indicated a move by land and sea against the city. The Novoe Vremya a ! inces the theory that the bombardment was ordered for political effect on the Japanese Diet. It is considered here especially unfortunate that the Japanese did not go close enough to Vladivostok to establish the identity of their ships, leaving the question whether they were a division of the Port Arthur fleet in doubt. It Is not believed, however, the Japanese would dare to divide the latter, which would Involve the risk of a sortie by the Russians and their playing havoc with the Japaner transport flotilla. The Japanese fleet has not been sighted from Port Arthur for over a week, and possibly it is trying to lure the Russians outside. RUSSIA WILL XOT STOP WHEAT EXPORTATION PARIS. March 7. The Russian ambassador. M.

He would only be willing to take such action on a vote by the people. He thinks the city cannot afford it, and that other things are needed worse. The project was left with the finance committee.

RUSSin DECLARATION REGARDING USE OF COAL To Treat It as Contraband of War Would Pe Receding from Her Former Position.

IMPORTANT TO ENGLAND LONDON, March 6. Answering a question in the House of Commons to-day, Premier Balfour said the government considered that Russia's declaration that she proposed to treat coal as contraband of war was of the greatest importance. The premier added that he was aware that the Russian plenipotentiary at the West African conference held at Berlin in December, 1884, in relation to the neutralization of the Congo, declared Russia never would accept an interpretation that coal should be considered by international law as contraband of war and that his government would categorically r. fuse to consent to recognize coal as contraband, either in relation to the Congo or any other district whatever. In view of this. Mr. Balfour concluded, the British government was taking steps to obtain more precise information in regard to the interpretation of the Russian declaration respecting contraband of war. WHO H ILL GIVE COAL TO THE BALTIC FLEET? PARIS, March 7. Diplomatic circles are discussing a nice question of neutrality which will arise when the Russian Baltic fleet starts for the far East, which is expected to occur early in the summer. The fleet will be accompanied by colliers and it is understood that the French government will raise no objection to the fleet coaling at French ports from its own ships. After the fleet passes Jibutil (French Somaliland) there are no French ports until the flet reaches Saigon (French Indo-China), an 1 It will undoubtedly put in at an Indian or Ceylonese port for more coal. Then will develop the questions: Can belligerents be allowed to receive coal when their purpose is io attack the Japanese fleet, and will not such action be a violation of neutrality? A diplomat, who expressed an opinion on the question, pointed out that belligerent ships could properly demand at a neutral port enough coal to enable them to reach the nearest home port, and that in this case the nearest home port was Port Arthur. It was quite possible, the diplomat added, that Great Britain would decline to permit the Russians to take coal except from their own colliers, and even then probably not in British waters. This would immediately tend to place Great Britain even more firmly alongside Japan and might cause renewed hard feelings on the part of Russia, which Count Benckendorff. the Russian ambassador to Great Britain, has attempted to allay. There Is little doubt that France would solve the problem more liberally than Great Britain and grant a Russian request to coal. The diplomat concluded by remarking thit the question was important and one which it was fortunate the powers would settle before the Baltic fleet moves Eastward. TODD IS SENTENCED. Satisfied with Outcome of Case and Wants No New Trial. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., March 7. Contrary to expectations, Cyrus M.

Special to th Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., March 7.Word was received here to-day that James Rodgers, of this city, who was employed on the big towboat Sprague, was confined in the Marine Hospital at Cairo. 111., having been taken from the vessel there insane. Ou the down trip the Sprague ran ashore and sunk a number of her barges. While attempting to save them from destruction Rodgers narrowly escaped drowning, 'and the fright he received is said to be responsible for his condition. The Sprague has had an unfortunate trip. On her way up to-day with a tow of thirty empty barges, two model barpes and three loaded barges she struck a picr of the Pennsylvania railroad bridge, just bo low his city, and the entire tow was scattered about the river. One barge, containing 700.000 feet of lumber, was sank. The remainder of the floating barges were Anally caught, with the assistance of another towbout, and tied to the bank. NEGRO SHOT TO DEATH AT SPRINGFIELD, O., FOR KILLING A POLICEMAX (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) cle was struck, and the mobwent fairlv wild with delight. Throughout it all perfect order was maintained, and every one seemed in the beat of humor, joking with his nearest neighbor while reloading his revolver. All the windows in the jail and a few in the courthouse are broken. This was done in the earlier part of the evening, chiefly with brickbats and stones, but In no InPtsaotS were windows shot out. There were no drunken men in the mob. few showed evidence of having been drinking at all. and there was no rowdyism at any time. At 9 o'clock Sheriff Routzanan addressed the mob from the jail steps. He told the men that there would be a special session of the grand itiry called at once and the law wall.! sorely give the negro the limit for his crime. IB said further that any attempts to force would be met with force and much as he deplored the crime he would be compeled to Are If the mob stormed the jail. He said the building was practically Impregnable and said that he had a force of deputies and police Inside sufficient to defend the place for an indi tinite time. He said he doubtless knew scores of the men in the crowd and it would be the hardest task of his life if he was compelled to take the life of any of his neighbors. Only a small portion of the mob heard his voice as hundreds of men in the street below were calling out for Dixon's life. Fnon the renuest of Mavor Bowlns Mo. I Jor T. J. Kirkpatrick. t the Third O. N. (I . had Companies B and E In readiness to aid in defending the jail. Before either company was ready, however, an entrance Into the jail had been forced. When Dixon had been secured it required only a few minutes to push back the small cordon of policemen, who made their last stand at the east entrance in an ineffectual attempt to keep Dixon inside. The negro's face was livid and when he appeared at the ton of the main steps he would have fallen from sheer fright had he not been suspended in the grasp of a dozen men. The police again rallied to his aid and when the mob saw this the leaders hurriedly decided to kill their victim before the arrival of the militia. Dixon came here from Cynthiana, Ky. There have been eleven murders in Clark county in the last two years and in no instance has there been a conviction for firstdegree murder. Several of these murders have been of the cold-blooded and exasperating type and this fact, more than anyother, is responsible for the event of tonightthe first lynching in the history of the county. There has never yet been a case of capital punishment from this, Clark county. ILLINOIS MAN SATED FROM AXGRY MOB CABHNV1TAM, OL, March 7 Prompt legal action to-night saved Paul Hananel. of Mount Cilive, from lynching at the hands of 'a mob for probably fatally wounding his wife.
