I M BLÖi'li UP B RUSSIANS Docks and AH Facilities of One of the Finest Harbors in the World Destroyed. ALEXIEFF TELLS CZAR Wrecked Probably to Hamper the Landing of Japanese Description of the Place. - .ST. PETKRSBUUG, May 12. Viceroy Alexieff has telegraphed to the Czar announcing that the Russian's have blown up the-docks and piers at Port Dalny, LlaoTung peninsula, presumably - to render more difficult a Japaneso landing at that point. Later telegrams Indicate that the whole of Port Dalny has been destroyed by the Russians. . Port Daluy, or Talien-Wan, on the cast coast of the Liao-Tung peninsula, was intended by . the Russians to be the chief commercial emporium of its Eastern dominions. An edict providing for its construction was issued by the Russian Emperor in llfS and 1'ort Dalny, fully equipped with all modem improvement!', docks, warehouses and railroad facilities, was opened to commerce In December, lud, Tallen-Wan bay is one of the finest deepwater harbors on the Pacific. It is free from Ice in winter time and ships drawing thirty feet of water can enter at low tide without difficulty and without the aid. of pilots, can sail or steam alongside the immense docks and piers, where their cargoes can be loaded into railroad cars and run direct for six thousand, miles Into the City of St. Petersburg. Five large piers had been constructed, each supplied with numerous railroad tracks and immense warehouses and elevators, gas, etc., electric lights and water und u large breakwater was being constructed so that ships could lie at the piers and load and unload regardless of weather. Docks for foreign vessels, steam and sail, extended between the piers and along the shore for two miles. There were two first-class drydocks, one Intended for ordinary ocean eteamers and the other designed to accommodate the largest vessels of war or commerce. Over $5,000,000 had been expended on the harbor system before the end of 1902, and It was estimated that the cost of completing the works would be nearly ,- ÜOO.00O. but this does not in any way rcpre sent the total cost of the erection of this great commercial port, which, with Port Arthur, distant about twenty miles, was leased by the Chinese government to Russia In 1S9S. Nearly 25.COO men were employed dally cn the work of constructing the port and town. The total population has been estimated at about sixty thousand, mostly Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Russians. GRAND JURY PROBES ANDERSON ELECTION Indications of Fraud in a Precinct of the Third Ward Under Rigorous Inquiry. , Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., May 12. The grand Jury was called to-day and summonses issued for 201 witnesses, all residents of the fourth precinct of the Third ward in Anderson. Thi3 precinct is normally Republican by a majority of 23 to 0 votes, and under the roost adverse circumstances has never more than 13 or 15 Democratic majority. At the recent city election the precinct C'Cjjt Democratic by a vote of 125 to 135. This Democratic majority undoubtedly prevented the success of the Republicans in the city election, and as there are mauy evidences of fraud in the work in that precinct, the grand jury was asked to investigate.

The prosecution in the murder trial charged Mrs. Powell with having committed the crime through jealousy, owing to Powell's misconduct with Miss Albln. NO ANARCHIST PLOT ' IS FOUND AT VIENNA VIENNA. May 12. Nothing is known here of the reports published In the United States yesterday of the alleged discoveries of an Anarchist conspiracy to blow up Russian fortresses and military depots, a plot against the life of M. Von Plehwe, the Russian minister of the Interior, or a plot against the life of the Russian Emperor. Possibly the reports originated in the vague rumors of Anarchist plots which were circulated here last week and which have since been contradicted. MOVEMENTS OF STEAMERS NEW YORK, May 12.

The Japanese casualties at Anju were four killed and six wounded. According to an official report, the Russian casualties amounted to over fifty men. One otlicer and twelve men were killed, the others wounded. The Russians 4?nsas:ed numbered 700 and were from the Fifteenth Cossack ! Regiment. They reached Liao-Yang by train and marched thence to Anju. "A, majority of the enemy disliked righting the Japanese," the official report says, "and their morale is low." RUSSIANS NOT MAKING KNOWN THEIR PLANS ST. PETERSBURG, May 13.-Further progress of the Japanese in southern Manchuria is reported in official dispatches given out last night. The position of the division which is following the direct road to Hal-Cheng haa not yet been disclosed, and caution Is also apparent in the operations on the peninsula of Liao-Tung, where 20,0fi0 Japanese ore seeking to render themselve wecure in the western section of the peninsula and in the vicinity of and below Pltsewo before inaugurating the operations which have been planned.

The fol 000,000 ROUBLES ARE WANTED II THE RUSSIANS Official Statement Regarding the Finances of the Czar's . Empire. NEW LOAN TO BE FLOATED ST. PETERSBURG, May 12.-The following statement has been officially communicated to the press: "The war, which broke out In spite of the peaceful intentions of Russia, found the finances of the empire in a satisfactory position. The effective capital of the exchequer, which at the beginning of the year amounted to 1$:, 000,000 roubles, has been more than doubled up to the piesent by reason of the diminution of the budget expenses. Now the whole sum at the disposal of the exchequer exceeds CQO.OOO.OGO roubles. "Despite. this the war expenditure must be very, considerable, and on this account it has been thought prudent to discover a new method for providing funds. Thesa funds might be borrowed from the State Bank to the extent of 500,0u0,0u0 roubles, but In order to avoid expending the effective capital at the risk of a disturbance of the money in circulation, and as the government wishes to see Russia at the end of the war in the same steady financial position as before the outbreak of hostilities," the finance minister has con-ndered it necessary to have recourse to an external loan. "By Imperial order of May 12 for an increase in the war funds the issue of a 5 per cent, external loan for a short term has been decided upon with a nominal capita! of 30),000,000 roubles, or 800,000,000 francs, under the title of 5 per cent, state exchequer bonds of laOI, free forever from Russian taxes. On May 14-, 1909, these bonds will be redeemable at the issuance price and must be' presented for redemption In Paris. "The flotation of the loan is intrusted to the Netherlands Bank, the Credit Lyonnaise, Hottinguer & Co., of Paris". The statement published in the foreign press that after this loan another will be issued in Germany is officially declared to be without foundation.

'MV THEN GO TO F Russia's Ruler Anxious to Undergo His Baptism of Fire in ' the Far East. MAY NOT TAKE COMMAND Probably Wants to Meet the Fanatical Policeman Who : Slashed His Face." ST. PETERSBURG. May 12. The Emperor will go to Moscow Saturday to pray for victory at the Trinity Sergius Monastery, and thence, after a few days, to Kharkoff to bid farewell to the Tenth and Seventeenth Army Corps previous to their departure for the fa'r East. The Associated Press learns from the highest source that the Emperor is exceedingly anxious to go to the front. To his intimates recently he has spoken much on the subject, but he realizes that conditions of state demand his presence at home. Nevertheless, It is now not considered impossible that he will follow the example of all the Romanoff dynasty during the last centurv and undergo his baptism of fire. To fight with the army Is one of the traditions of his house. Alexander I entered Paris with the allies after the battle of Waterloo, Nicholas I died In a common soldier's hovel In the Crimea and Alexander III, with the heir apparent, was at the front during the Turkish war. Perhaps an additional reason why Emperor Nicholas desires to meet the enemy is that he carries on his body the mark of a- wound inflicted by a fanatical Japanese policeman when he was attacked in a theater at Otsu during his visit to Japan in 1S91, only being saved from death by the noble action of his cousin. Prince George of Greece. Should he finally conclude to go the Emperor would not assume active command of the troops, but would have an imperial headquarters, taking with him all the members of his military cabinet. Being on the spot the Emperor could more easily advise General Kuropatkin In the event of any question of great military moment which he might desire to submit to his Majesty. But, of course, the chief, advantage would be the stimulus which the personal presence of the sovereign would have on the officers and men.

OFF FOR THE FRONT!

By FREDERICK PALMER, Collier's War Correspondent with the Japanese Army of Invasion in Manchuria, Reproduced. in the Journal by Special Arrangement.

Copyright, YSA, by Collier's Weekly. KOBE, Japan, April 3. Never was parting guest more happy to get away; never was parting guest more heartily and sincerely sped. With the correspondents of the first contingent actually going, the hopc3 of the second and the third rose to the dignity of expectations. They gathered at Shlmbashi station with tin horns and gave the chosen few an Anglo-Saxon cheer. ; For over two months some of us have waited for official passes. to join the Japanese army in the field. Now that we have the treasure it is not much to look at only a slip of paper which would go into the average size envelope. By rights, it should bo on vellum, with marginal decorations of storks standing on one leg and an inscription of summa cum laude for patience in flourishes. Our thoughts, however, are not on such trivialities. They are entirely on how much each little pass will permit us to see. "The Japanese were absolutely prepared for this war and all possible contingencies save one, said a secretary of legation in Tokio. "They overlooked the coming of a small army of correspondents representng the public opinion of two great friendly nations, whose good will it is to Japan's interest to court." i Nearly a hundred foreigners, used to en tirely different food and conditions of life from the natives, turned a hotel into a bar racks, and with persistent address asked for privileges -from the Foreign Office. In time such a force can wear even the Japanese smile of politeness down to a studied grimace. We had and have the conviction that the army would like to follow the navy's 'suit and permit no correspondents at all with Its force. Had as much been said at first, then we could have gone home reeling that If Japan had broken away from the customs of the age of the free press that was her affair. The lives, the millions of dollars, the national alms at stake were hers, and we came only by courtesy as foreigners! What was wearing on our nerves was the week by week "iou may go very soon. We were told. so near was our departure whether six weeks ago or last week that it would be most unwise for us to go to Korea, and we waited and waited until candor took the place of our suavity, and the Japanese smile, suddenly broadening into its old sunniness, said that.it was realjy very early for us to start, but there was something to see already, and If we wished we might go. So the rampant curiosity of the spoiled children of the press, grateful for small favors, may at last feed Itself on the sight of a Japanese soldier really marching toward an enemy In a disputed land. A pitched battle is not expected for fully another month yet, if not for two months. For two weeks Mr. Yokoyama's ship has been in readiness at Kobe. It was to have sailed on the 21st of March. When this date wac announced we were temporarily quite pacified. A week passed, and while Yokoyama's ship waited only the "very soon" came from the general staff. The smile met the increasing impatience for each outburst was worse than the one before with the polite, the deferential query whether we would not prefer to go on a transport rather than on our chartered vessel. Possibly the smile foresaw division and discussion. But were the chosen few, who had L IS 111 TlltMTEIIT OFFICE Edison Claims to Be Victim of Irregularities on the Part of Examiner. WASHINGTON. May 12. There is a possibility that Frederick I. Allen, commissioner of patents, may retire because of interference with his official duties by President Roosevelt. , A searching investigation of the office is likely to be the outcome of a scandal in that branch of the public service which was brought directly to the attention of the President by Thomas A. Edison, the famous inventor, who claimed to be thd victim of gross irregularities of procedure on tie part of a patent examiner. The scandal involves the commissioner of patents himself, who is charged by Mr. Edison and his attorneys with refusing to take steps to correct the irregularities. Had the victim of the wrong been an ordinary inventor, Allen's refusal would would probably have been the last of the matter, as such a man would not have cared to jeopardize his interests at the Patent Office by making an open fight on the commissioner. But Mr. Edison felt strong enough to appeal to the President, and the latter issued a peremptory order to the commissioner of patents that the famous inventor should be given the hearing he had applied for. The scandal grew out of matters relating to Edison's new electric storage battery. While certain patents on this were pending an examiner in the- office is alleged to have allowed another inventor to withdraw and amend specifications on a patent along the same lines as Edison's. The latter's attorney heard of the circumstance and investigation showed that the amendments to the specifications for the rival patent embodied certain features of the Edison patent. SPRING OF LEMONADE IN CLARK COUNTY Phenomenon That Has Not Yet Been Explained Water Has Acid Taste. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., May 12. An unusual well has been discovered on the farm of Reuben Green, living near here. At present the liquid that comes from the well has every appearance of lemonade, and is fai more pleasing to the taste than the best circus lemonade that was ever offered to the public. The water has never been analyzed, and just what causes this phenomenon cannot be explained. It is only when the water is at a certain depth that the strong acid taste is noticeable. GO VERNOR ORDERS A COURT-MARTIAL COLUMBUS, O., May 12. Governor Herrick has ordered a court-martial in connection with the recent riots at Spriugfleld, at which time the negfo Dickson, was lynched. No information has been given out as yet regarding the persons to be summoned before the court-martial, but the ouly person whose actions have been questioned publicly are the officers of the companies located at Springfield. ClinnRe on the Illinois Central. CHICAGO. May 12. Owing to the resignation of General Manager J. F.

With one voice came our f"Moreover, we were ready to go aboard at anv moment, and we said so. Now that we are started, we wonder what lies in store for us in this campaign or an Oriental power in a hermit land. Officially, we know as little of where we shall disembark as we do of General Kuropatbin'c ninc Thp timp of our return is

shrouded in the mystery of tne situdes of a great war which scarcely begun. The departure Shimbashl. when an Anglo-Saxon rah hrnk-o th lontr record of vicishas from zals for departing troops, the parting of a dozen foreigners from their American and European friends, reminded us again or the romance and picturesqueness of our position. There was never a war at all comparable to this, and never a war wrdch drew so many foreign correspondents. The uncertainty of our position, the uncertainty of the conditions under which we shall live, brought a havoc of buying at the last moment on the part of men who have studied their requirements in the field while they waited. We have everything, from postage stamps done up in oiled paper to tool chests the size of a pocket book and now we are in the hands of Mr. Yokoyama. Whether we bring profit or loss, praise or blame, to Mr. Yokoyama, we shall make him famous. Mr. Yokoyama has made a contract to transport our kits, from tents to extra buttons and shoestrings, and to give us three meals of European flavor a dav. He has in this harbor a four-hundred-ton steamer, the character of whose cargo and whose passengers adds the finishing touch of the unusual to our departure. In one cabin are twelve bunks. The first arrivals have staked out their claims with posted visiting cards and baggage bestowed. Below decks are ponies which are to bear the "specials" to the victory or the defeat of editorial decision. In the hold are the outfits. Never before was there auch a pile of baggage as that bags and rolls and little Japanese officers' trunks, but nothing outside of the hold-all (unconventional in construction to suit the owner's whim), which would make the baggage smasher or porter feel at home. We need no longer discuss the relative merits of sleeping bags and open blankets; they will be put to the test, leaving the discussion as warm as ever for future campaigns. But in that incongruous pile are furs and thick woolens for winter campaigning. (It was in February that the first "very soon" was sounded, and we provided for the cold of northern Korea and southern Manchuria.) Every separate piece is marked with the correspondent's name in Roman and in Japanese lettering; and "soon, very soon." we hope that all will be deposited on the beach, and we shall raise our tents and saddle our horses and go to work instead of to official dinners. Acting as quartermaster of the dumpy craft is a serious Japanese (Mr. Yokoyama's representative) who has "Canteen ' embroidered on a white circlet on his arm. We, too. must wear white circlets with the name of the publication which we represent. Thus we shall not be taken for Russians, though the Russians may take us; and I doubt If the Japanese would mind much if the Russians did. For every correspondent there is an interpreter and a servant. When we are not dependent upon Yokoyama wo are dependent upon them. Finally we are in the hands of the alldoing, never-talking general staff, and bound for an unknown destination. At Moji we board a transport, and Mr. Yokoyama's ship, with the horses, the kits, the servants and the interpreters, proceeds at eight knots to the rendezvous at Chemulpo. After that It Is to be hoped that the correspondents may write about something besides themselves. is INTERESTED III COLORADO Labor Troubles May Assume art International Phase English man Was Killed. WASHINGTON.. May 12. The British government has become involved In the labor troubles In Colorado. That govern ment makes it a point to look after the humblest British subject, so when it hap pened that In the troubles at Telluride Launcelot Collins, a Britisher and a nonunion miner, was killed by strikers, as it was alleged, the nearest British consul, at Denver, started an investigation and reported the case to the British embassy here. Sir Mortimer Durand, finding that one of the allegations was that the man was killed for lack of proper protection by the authorities, called the attention of the State Department to the matter. The department in turn forwarded the ambassador's note to the Governor of Colorado, and the latter has now explained that, owing to the existence of martial law in Telluride county, it is not possible to make the legal investigation required to develop a satisfactory answer to the British note. It is expected that further proceedings will be taken when the labor troubles in Colorado are at an end, and if it should appear that the British complaint is well founded an application will be made to Congress by the State Department for a suitable indemnity for the killing or'Colllns. Salt for Malicious Prosecution. Alleging malicious prosecution, Ervey Bowers, by his next friend. Freeman Bowers, has filed suit in the Superior Court for $2,500 damages against John McKinney and others. In the complaint it is alleged that McKinney and the other defendants, H. B. Gage and Walter N. Durbin, caused Bowers to be arrested on a charge of malicious trespass. He, the complaint says, was finally discharged from Police Court, after being grievously humiliated. Further the complaint states that the specific charge placed against him was that he removed the letters from the windows of a store owned by Gage and Durbin. Wanted to See Oil Run. Raymond Thompson, a ten-year-old colored boy, "liked to see the oil run," and slipped into the store room of the E. C. Atkins saw works last night between 6 and 7 o'clock, turned on all of the spigots in the barrels of oil which are stored there and was in the midst of his enjoyment when the night watchman interrupted. Bikemen Morgan and Samuels took the youthful prisoner to the Detention Home. 91x Skeleton Unearthed. NEENAH. Wis., May 12.
