A dispatch from Seoul, Korea, says that the Japanese gupply steamers ore safely entering the estuary of the Yalu river and are landing their cargoes at various points on the Korean shore. It is presumed here that the movement of these supply steamers is covered by Japanese gunboats. If this is true, the Russian forts erected on the Chinese Hide of the Yalu river are evidently not effective. According to reliable Korean reports the American mines at Unsan and the English mines at Gwendolen are safely guarded by detachments of Japanese troops. SHANGHAI. April 7.-It has been learned here that the Russians have planted submarine mines off the coast of Takushan L (about fifty miles west of the mouth of the laiu river.;, us wen as in me wiudijf ui the Yalu.

Refugees who have arrived here from Korea assert that the fear that the Japanese may land at Possiet hay In Manchuria, and about sixty-live miles southwest of Vladivostok, is causing a general exodus inland.

It further describes how subsequently the whole Russian fleet sailed out of the harbor and formed a line of battle ready to accept a combat, which the Japanese declined. Three of the Japanese lire ships sunk in attempts to block the harbor have been raided and towed into the harbor at Port Arthur, where they are being armed with rapid-fire guns for service against the enemy. RUSSIA MAY MOBILIZE ALL AVAILABLE MEN PARIS.

A portion of the reserves will be told off to guard the Transsiberian Railroad. The decree, ordering the mobilization, will be published shortly. The arming of the Port of Libau has been completed and foreign vessels have been forbidden to enter the port without authorization." A correspondent at' St. Petersburg of tho Echo de -Paris says a mobilization of the reserve seamen in the Sebastopol district has been ordered, half of them to be used to reinforce the Russian crews at Port Arthur and Vladivostok, and the remainder to increase the strength of the Rlack sea fleet. PROTECTION ASKED FOR FOREIGN MINERS SEOUL, Korea, April 7. J. N. Jordan and II. N. Allen, respectively ministers to Korea or Great Britain and the United States, have requested the Korean government to give protection to Rritish.and American miners. This request Is a mere formality, as the Japanese have given assurances of safety from local .uprisings. Mr. Jordan saj-s the Japanese have been extremely considerate with regard to the Uritish mines. They have no desire to hamper mining operations, they promised not to make heavy levies of food on the farmers of the surrounding country and they agree to facilitate the passage of specie for payment of wages and even to supply specie for this purpose. They will also safeguard the transportation of bullion from the mines to the coast. DEATHS DUE TO POISONOUS GASES ST. PETERSBURG, April 7.-A correspondent of the Vostchny Vestnik states that many of the slightly wounded In the first bombardment of Port Arthur have died as a result of the poisonous gases emanating fro'm the Japanese shells. He notes that many of the enemy's projectiles fall in or near the hospital and adds that it has been determined to evacuate the City Hospital at Dalny if that place Is bombarded, because of an unwillingness to trust to the humanity of Japanese. FLEET OF JAPANESE TRANSPORTS SIGHTED SEOUL, Korea, April 7. An American missionary who has just returned from northern Korea reports having seen a fleet of forty transports, some of which were very large, off Hai-Ju, fifty miles north of Chemulpo.

All the foreign diplomats, including United States Ambassador McCormick, were present. The Emperor and the imperial family attended a similar service in the church of the winter palace, later taking the sacrament with the Dowager Empress at the Anitchkoff palace. The great bells of hundreds of cathedrals and churches in St. Petersburg tolled solemnly at intervals this evening while the gospels were being read within. During this evening's service in every sacred edifice each member of the congregation held a lighted taper, which was subsequently taken home and placed before nn Ikon of the devotee's patron saint. If the worshiper was fortunate enough to get this taper home without the Uame being extinguished it was regarded ns a sign of good luck for the cnToward "midnight the streets presented weird and picturesque scenes. From all the churches issued streams of people, each person bearing a lighted candle.

HOLIDAYS

BALTIC FLEET MAY BE. SACRIFICED If RUSSIA Plan for Retrieving the Reverses Suffered at Port Arthur and Chemulpo. TOGO TO BE CRIPPLED

PARIS, April 7. The Russian naval plan for retrieving the reverses at Port Arthur and Chemulpo has been communicated to one of the embassies through official channels, having access to the highest naval authorities at St. Petersburg. The plan is explained as follows: "Russia recognizes that Japan now has preponderating naval strength in the far East. Therefore it is essential to reverse the present Japanese preponderance. This will be attempted by two distinct moves. First, urgent efforts will be made to have a naval concentration at Port Arthur, the Baltic, Red sea and Vladivostok fleets joining Vice Admiral Makaroff's command, if possible, and thus giving the combined fleets preponderance over Vice Admiral Togo's. Second It is foreseen that it will be difficult and probably impossible to effect this concentration, as Admiral Togo may intercept the Baltic fleet before its arrival at Port Arthur. In that event the Baltic fleet, which is comparatively small, will attempt the perilous task of engaging the large Japanese fleet in the hope of disabling some of the Japanese ships and thus reducing the Japanese effective. According to Russian calculation the Baltic fleet may surfer annihilation in such an unequal combat, but it will have served a valuable end if it is able to cripple a sufficient number of. Japanese ships to reduce Admiral Togo's naval strength below that of Admiral ilakaroff." The foregoing information is not part of current speculative report, but comes from creditable olflcial sources as being the determined Russian plan. The authorities at Washington will receive similar Information shortly. DIAMOND THIEF MAY BE IN CLEVELAND Forest City Police Suspect Local Talent of Cunning Robbery There.

Newlln and Volz haven't secured control of the ball as yet. but they will be all right in a couple of days. George Mullin is in wonderful shape and for five innings j-esterday he allowed the Hoosiers only one little hit.

Lindsay was sent to bat for Newlin and Volz yesterday, a slight breach of the rules, but Detroit waved a point, as it was only an exhibition game. Little Johnny Fisher Is making a remarkably good showing with Indianapolis this season, and If he continue?? to show lm-t provement he has a chance of landing a berth with the Hoosiers.

The express train was run into by the mail train. Both trains were east bound. After the collision the passengers in the other coaches of the two trains hurried to the rescue and after a hard struggle pulled the Indians from beneath the wreckage. Chief White Horse, in charge of the Indians on the train, was fatally injured. The bodies of the Indians who had been killed outright were laid on the prairie beside the track, Chief White Horse being carried with thorn. He said he knew that death was near and requpsted that he be placed near his dead companions. The chief was propped up and sat stoically while physicians worked over his injuries. He smoked a pipe quietly and showed no signs of the pain he must have been suffering. One by one the other injured Indians were slowly taken from the- splintered car and placed upon the ground near their dying chief and dead comrades. The physicians hurried from one to another of the injured, administering to the wants of all. while arrangements were being made to take the red men to the nearest hospital. After the bodies of the dead had been removed from the wreckage and placed in a row on the prairie beside the tracks an incident probably unparalleled in railway records took place.

K The Indians were from the reservation near Rushville, Neb., and their Journey East was primarily for show purposes at New York.

WIFE DEFENDS HUSBAND,

AS FALSE THE EHTS OF Alf (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) "I don't know; I think so." replied Mrs. Brown uncertainly. -When?" shouted Kealing. "When we bought your house didn't I Walter?" turning to her husband. "I'm asking vou." Interrupted Kealing. "I can t tell particularly," was the reply. The defense launched its case with the testimony of Miss Beryl Tousley, Brown's stenographer at the Consolidated Paper and Bag Company plant. She was questioned concerning a conversation which i. alleged to have taken place between Alford and herself relative to- notes signed by both. "Miss Tousley." Ketcham began, "did you meet Mr. Alford in the corridor of this building during the session of the grand jury when Mr. Brown was Indicted and have a conversation with him to this effect: You said. 'I expect you are here. Mr. Alford, on the same business that I am. about signing those notes?' And he replied. "Yes, I suppose so.' Then you said. 'Well. I don't think there is anything in it. They can't make any trouble about it.' Alford replied. I understood there wouldn't be any trouble about it. but I went to Mr. Brodrick to make sure, and he said it was all right.' Did you have that conversation?" "That was the conversation." responded Miss Tousley. "In that conversation was the word check mentioned?" "It was not." "Did Alford Kay further to you: 4I didn't say anything about going to see Brodrick at the time because I didn't want Mr. Brown to know it. I would not have signed those notes for any one else but Mr. Brown. I always had perfect confidence in Mr. Brown?' " "Yes, sir." CHARACTER WITNESS CALLED. "Now, Miss Tousley," continued Ketcham, referring to the conversation of Brown and Alford at the plant of the Consolidated Fa per and Bag Company shortly after the bank closed, "did Alford come to you after this talk with Brown and say that he had been awfully mad, but was all right now, as Mr. Brown had explained everything?" "Yes, sir, he did," was the reply. Mrs. Brown was then called to the stand, after which the defense introduced a number of witnesses to testify to Walter Brown's good character. W. II. A. Read, an attorney of Toledo, who had known Brown when the latter lived In that city, was the first of these witnesses. He was allowed to testify only as to Brown's character as it was la Toledo. He eaid that it was good. On the cross-examination Kealing asked: "Were you ever. Mr. Brown's at torney?" "On one occasion, yes, Read replied. There was another stir of excitement when the defense announced its next wit ness. Daniel E. Storms, secretary of state. "How long have you known Mr. Brown, Mr. Storms?" Ketcham asked. "About four years." "You have met him in connection with Elkhart people and Indianapolis people, and you are capable of knowing his reputation, are you not?" "I think so." "Weil, Mr. Storms, you may state what was his g-eneral reputation as to honesty, integrity and fair dealing." said Ketcham, with clean-cut emphasis on the last three nouns. "It was good," Mr. Storms replied. NEWSPAPER FIGHT RECALLED. . Quick to shoot his questions on the crossexamination, Kealing asked: "Mr. Storms, have you met Mr. Brown in connection with Elkhart people since the failure of the bank?" "I have not," the secretary of state answered. "That's all," said Kealing. James II. State, of Elkhart, was next called by the defense and asked as to Mr. Brown's reputation for honesty, integrity and fair dealing, before the bank fallen!. lie replied that it was good. Kealing asked: "What is his reputation since the bank closed?" "I should say that it is bad," answered the witness. On re-examlnatlon Ketcham questioned: "Do you know a publication in Elkhart known as the Truth?" "I do. It is a newspaper there." "Did the publications in that paper subsequent to the failure have anything to do with his present reputation? "I could not state certainly." "Well, what were the relation of Mr. Conn, proprietor- of the paper, and Mr. Brown? Was not Mr. Conn a bitter enemy of Mr. Brown?" "They were very unfriendly," replied State. . George B. Pratt, a manufacturer of Elkhart, Samuel Throop, a grocer of Elkhart, and John W. Fieldhouse .were then called by the defense and testified to Brown's gooel character. George A. Briggs was the last witness Introduced before adjournment of court. COLLINS CROSS-EXAMINED. He testified as to values he had placed on property of the National Manufacturing Company, estimating buildings, machinery, steck and equipment at J113.712.41. Ketcham asked him what Brown's reputation was in Elkhart before the failure of the bank. Briggs replied: "I should Bay that It was excellent." On cross-examination Kealing asked him if he were not a bondsman of Brown. He replied that both he and Pratt were. The crcss-examlnation of Collins by Attorney Ketcham, avho withstood a rain of questions for over ten hours, ended shortly after 3 o'clock last evening. Collins was well-nigh exhausted when he left the stand. It was the general opinion that Ketcham, in his long cross-examination, was unable to shake Collins's damaging testimony of the day before. The government ended Its case by brief testimony from Miss Amy Gravit and Miss Emma Goard, bookkeepers, and Dr. Short and Peltire Hill, directors of the defunct bank. As final evidence Kealing introduced a number of records on the bank's books referring to Brown's indebtedness to the bank. It is not known how long the fight of the defense will be. but It is thought the trial will run over into next week. Mr. Ketcham yesterday said he did not care to say anything about their line of defense or to betray any of their plans.

The case of Miss Frankie Orser, of Boston, Mass., is in teresting to all women. Dejlr Mrs. Ptskiiam : I suffered mi scry for several years. My back ached and I had bearing-down pains, and frequent headaches. I would often wako from a restful sleet in such pain and misery that it would be hours before I could close my eyes again. I dreaded the long nights and weary days. I could do no work. I consulted different physicians hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicines did. not cure me, I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, aa it was highly recommended to me. I am glad that I did so, for I soon found that it was the medicine for my case. Very soon I was rid of every ache and pain and restored to perfect health.

Many good things are said for the Ringling Brothers' circus, but the press agent allows no one to put him to shame. As the baying gcps, "he Is there with the goods." Listen to what he says: 'Riegling Brothers' circus. $1.0hO,OOö fre street parade, unrivaled menagerie, superb spectacular production ef Jerusalem and the Crusades, thrilling arenic performance, remarkable trained animal display, stupendous horse fair and poul-stlrring Roman hippodrome races stamp this well and favorably known tented amusement enterprise as the largest of its kind in all creation. And all the wonder of this truly remarkable Fhow will be exhibited in Indianapolis Monday. May 2. "Ringling Brothers' assertion that they have by far the biggest, best and most interesting circus thn world has -vr known has long stood unchallenged. This year tho farrous circus requires eighty-five floubleleiiKth railroad cars, equal in carrying capacity of 170 ordinary cars. Ringling Brothers have forty elephants, embracing every kind and variety, and Including Baby Boo,' the only baby elephant ever bred, born ani successfully reared in America. No other show ever had over nineteen elephants. Ringling Brothers have M caßes, dens and lairs of rare wild animals the animal life of the world including a pair of giraffes, the pole survivors of their kind, and also thp only rhinoceros in captivity. No other show in all the world had ever as many ns forty cages. Ringling Brothers employ 1.2S0 people, a veritable traveling city. No other Fhow ever had as many as 5.j employes. Ring ling Brothers have Z,o circus artists and performers from every continent and country. No other show in the world ever had 2J performers. Ringling Brothers have O) 1 . .1 . M - A I V uortes oi me mufci pvrieci tpeciii:ens obtainable. No other show ever had over ZZi hoises at any time. Ringling Brothers have three miles of parade glories a perfect sunburst of dazzling splendor. No tther shew ever made a parade that was mora than one and one-fourth miles long. Rinpling Brothers present this season, on a scale of refjal magnificence, the sublim and Instructive spectacle of Jerusalem and the Crusades, in which 1.200 characters take part. No other show ever made an attempt to display one-tenth of Its grandeur. Ringline Brothers introduce for the first tims In the history of any circus a marvelous sixty-eight-stop pipe organ, rivaling iu1 sweetness of tone and expression and volume of power organs of a similar nature to be found only In the famous old cathfdrals of Kurope. All the wonders mentioned above, together with many others, will positively be seen when the world's greatest shows exhibit in this city." Protection Affalnst Floods. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: It is certainly wise to take the proper steps after the late disastrous floods to provide permanently against their recurrence. The city engineer has doubtless made very moderate estimates for this and they should at least be carefully considered before the matter is dropped. The wife action taken some years ago to prevent the occasional overflow of West Indianapolis by Mr. McCarthy has saved property owners ther hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why not do some such substantial work along the river and Its tributaries? Some one has suggested that by deepening the channels of all these streams enough dirt could t had to dyke them all. But the gravel anil sand taken from the beds of the streams would make poor dyke material, as th water, when at flood, would soon, by seeping, make breaks In them. Tlenty of heavy clay can be found for dykes, and that will stand the flood. The city shoul4 not allow another year to go by without this permanent improvement for protection. Indianapolis, April 7. .
