' " " " BAT'S NOTE TO THE POWERS Manchuria Question eft Open Purpose ly m to China's Rights Therein. .Washington. Feb.. 15. It turns out that the question raised by Great Brit aln relative to the scope of .secretary Hay's note relative to limiting "-earea of the Far Eastern war l.Vot at all a quibble, as intimated,' but is a real question. Great Britain wanted a more definite statement as to the scone in reference to China's "admin istrative entity," and Hay is disin clined to yield on this point. He thifiks that it would be impossible to get the powers together if an attempt is made to very exactly define the purpose of concurrent action. So as to Manchuria the question Is left open purposely as to whether or not Chinese administration is-or Is not in force in that warswept territory. The much-talked -of note has been giren out for publication and is as fol tows: "You will express to the minis ter for foreign affairs the earnest desbe of the government of the United States that In the course of the mill t try operations which have begun be tween Russia' and Japan the neutrality of China and in all practicable ways hzr administrative entity shall be re spected by both parties, and that th erea of hostilities shall be localized end minimized as much as pojsible, so that undue excitement and disturbance of the Chinese people may be prevented attd the lrast possible loss to the commerce and intercourse of the Trcrld will be occasioned." .

No official definition has yet been given to the terra "administrative entity." l - Jap Army I AssfTjblluff. Tokio. Feb. 15. The dMe of the forward movement of the jnaiu body of the Japanese army has not been disclosed, but it probably will be deferred, until after the completion of naval operations. The publication of the numbers of soldiers at the points of mobilization Is still forbidden. The mobilization is progressing "with sur prising celerity and great precision. Fears the "Yellow PerlL" , Berlin. Feb. 13. The position of the German government respecting the Russo-Japanese war Is well defined. It is exact neutrality In act, but In sentipient It is sympathetic toward Russian predominance in China rather than Japanese predominance there, because Germany believes the kaiser's "yellow peril" very real. Ah Sin Not So Badly Scared. Teklng, Feb. 13. An Imperial edict declares that the court has no inten tion of leaving the capital. Special vs. Admiral Togo. London, Feb. 10. A correspondent of The Daily Mail who witnessed the engagement off Port Arthur last week confirms this morning his previous ac counts of the fight, and asserts again that one Japanese torpedo boat was sunk and another deserted by its crew In a sinking condition and subsequent ly captured by the Russians. He says also that the Japanese lost one battle ship and had one cruiser put out .of action. This is in absolute contradic tion of the official report of Admiral Togo, who said his squadron was not even damaged enough to impair Its ef ficiency. fAPT rip sFFINfi I THE WORLD'S FAIR, For the Majority of Visitors It Wii! Be Less Than Railroad Transportation to St. Louis and Return Would Cost In Any Other Year. From any point within 300 miles of St Jx)uis a person may travel to the World's Fair this year, view the won ders of the Exposition for three days and expend less money than in any other year he would pay for train fare alone. This may seem an astonishing state ment, but it is a fact. Railroad men have practically deter mined that "one fare for the round trip" will be the rate during the seven important months of 1004. Public an nouncement of this only waits the passage of certain legislation concerning scalpers' ' tickets and formal Indorsempnt hv the various cassencer acents' associations. With this fact In mind a clear dem e onstration of the statement ia the open ing paragraph can be made. The fare frum Chicago is $7.?0. or $13 the round trip. So under the new schedule $7.50 will be put down as the railroad fare from that city to St Louis and return. If yon are econom ical, your per diem expenses in the World's Fair City need not exceed thoe given in this table: Breakfast ZO.Zt Car fare to grounds 05 Admission to grounds 50 Dinner on -rounds 35 far fare downtown 03 Supper Night's lodgings .1.00 Total Multiply 52.43 by 3, and you have $7.03, th sum total for three days' sightseeing. Add to this the $7.50 rail road fare, and you have a grand total of 13 cents less than the car fare alone would cost you In any other year For this money you have thrown open ts you the thirteen grand exhibition palaces, the forty and more state build ings, the fifteen and more foreign gov ernment structures, the ten great ston? edifices acquired temporarily from Washington university. Inclnding the Hall of Congresses and the Thysicai Culture Hall, wKh its adjoining Stadl um, the Filipino Village and many other pleasant places. Should you desire to remain longer than the three days you can do so without a greater per diem expenditure than given above. But supposing that you have plenty of money to spend and desire certain comforts and even luxuries, yet are not extravagant, what will the figures be? Less than $5 a day! Breakfast $0.50 Car fare .05 Admission 50 Admission to one or more Concessions on the Pike.. ...... v.. .JO Dinner ...,s 75 Souvenirs and extras 50 Supper 50 Car fare 05 Hotel room 1.50 Total per diem 4.85 Suppose you desire to remain six days. In that time you can devote a morning to one main building, an afternoon to, another, and so on, from Mon day to Saturday, Inclusive, passing the evenings on the Pike, and the grand total of the week's expenditures will be $23.10.

DEFIED BY THE GREEKS

Sheriff at Bloomington Told That Rioters Refuse To Be Taken Alive. COURTS ORDER TO BE HELD UP Republican League Withholds Its Indorsement from Roosevelt for Awhile---State Items. Bloomington, Ind., Feb. 13.---Judge J. B. Wilson issued a bench warrant for Peter Strang and a gang of about fifty Greek laborers who are employed at the Stanford tunnel camp of the Indianapolis Southern railway, near this city, on a charge of riot and attack upon Constable Norman, who attempted to arrest one of the laborers. Sheriff Thrasher was handed the warrant with the injunction to take with him a sufficient armed force to enable him to make the arrests. It is known that a number of arms and ammunition has been purchased by the Greeks. who have threatened violence to any officer who interferes. Judge Backed by the Governor. The trouble has grown out of an alleged deficit in wages. Instead of goIng on a strike the laborers have done considerable damage to the property of the railroad company. Governor Durbin has telephoned to Judge Wil son commending him for his action and advising that he might call upon the state for arms, if necessary, but in any event not to hesitate to suppress the uprising. Sheriff Visits the Camp. Every effort is being made to settle the difficulty without bloodshed. After a conference with Governor Durbin, definite action was abandoned until today. The head boss, Sam Strang, refuses to submit to arrest by the sheriff or any other officer, and said that he and his fellow workmen would not be taken alive by the authorities. Sheriff Thrasher and a deputy went to the railroad camp and spent the day in trying to compromise the trouble. He asked for Strang but he absolutely refused to come out. The sheriff told the excited men that he did not come now to, make an arrest but to learn the cause of the trouble. Will Insist on the Men Being Paid. After this statement, all talked freely through an interpreter and the statement was made that if Contractor Bruce-Head would pay the men wages alleged to be due, they they would vacate the camp at once and give no further trouble. Sheriff Thrasher said that he regards life too sacred to make any unnecessary move on the enraged men and he will insist on the men being paid, and then if there is any violations of law, the arrests will be made regardless of the result. Prosecuting Attorney Miller and A. J. Hughes, of the contractors, were in Indianapolis in conference with the governor.

At the meeting of the Indiana Lincoln League here a lively discussion followed the introduction of a resolution providing that a telegram be sent to President Roosevelt commending his administra tion and pledging the League's sup port in the national convention. The telegram was sent, after being amended by striking out the pledge of sup port. The reasons for this action set forth by the opposition were that the Indiana Lincoln League should pledge it self to no one when the state lxad such excellent presidential timber, and that Senator Hanna might yet be a presi dential factor. W. C. Mcflutre, of Indi anapolis, was elected presfdent. and George DIIeilman, of this city, secre tary. A banquet was held at nJght, which were attended by about GCO guests.

Littls Comes from ths Far East That Has Happened Since Last Week. JAPANESE DEFEATS REPORTED But All Sesm to Have Taken Place a Week-o. Thre Apparent Attempts at !and ing Near Port Arthur-Story of the Variag's Gallant Fight. London. Feb, 1C. A dispatch from Paris says tha't news has been received there that the Kassian and Japanese land forces are engaged in a general engagement on the Yalu river, but does not state just wrere the fight Is proceeding. Other dispatches repeat yesterday's report that the Japanese had tried to land at Talien wan and Pigeon ("Dove" bay and in boih cases had been defeated, explaining the absence of help from the Japanese navy by saying that the ships had withdrawn too far off shore to be" of any use, thinking that there was no force of Russians at either place. The two points mentioned are opposite each other on the isthmus that connects the Llao-Tung peninsular with the mainland. Look Like Ueavy Jap Losses, All these rights appear to have taken place the middle of last week, just after the bombardment of Port Arthur bythe Japanese. Another report says :hat a Japanese transport Las been sunk with 1.SU0 troops on board. The losses in the land tights reported above are put. all Japanese, at 410 at Talienwan and thirty at Pigeon ("Dove") bay. What seems to be another tight is reported from Chefoo. It is stated that the Japanese landed 3.5U0 troops at Bidusuoo. and were caught in a trap and almost annihilated. It later seems that it was here that the Japanese ships were too far off to support the landing party. Where the Kumimn Mtxjtwiged. .'Another -report s;iys that the Russian forts mistook three Russian torpedo boats for Japanese crat and sunk them. This seems to have been at Port Arthur. ' The alleged attempt at landing at Iiidusuoo was made, it seems, while the bombardment of Pert .trthur was taking place Feb. 9. The voluminous dispatches from the Far East published here this morning are characterized by absence of real light on the situation. Numerous unconfirmed and contacting rumors a re given; and among them is a report of another engagement at Port Arthur, in which l he Russia n? lost eight vesse!s sunk, and ten captured. NAVAL IIATTLE AT CHEMULPO Story of the l ljht in Which the Varttg and Körle. Engaged. London. Feb. 10- A Seoul dispatch dated Feb. 12 gives the following account of the battle ofT Chemulpo which resulted in thyjoss of the Rrss:an cruiser Variag and the gunboat Korietz: During the n!ght of Feb. 8 the Japanese landed l.-XJ men at Chemulpo, and on the morniüg of the lth thrte Japanese cruisers, four gunboats and eiiit torpeuo lout destroyers, under comun.nd of Admiral Uriu, approached the harbor, but did not enter. The Korie;z and Variag were lying in the harbor. "1 he Japanese admiral gave them until-neun to come out. Roth Russian vessels cleared for action. All the shipping in the harbor was uotiüed by Admiral" Uriu to get out of the tiring line. There was in the harbor also the Rritisli cruiser Talbot, the French cruiser Pascal, the Italian cruiser Rlba and the United States gunbeat Vicksburg. The Variag and Korittz ot under way jjul steamed out of the' harbor. The crew of the English warship cheered them as they, went out to tight. When the Rnssisns were four miles out the Japanese threw a shot across hfir bows, but-they did not step Heavy tiring then began on both sides. The Variag turned her broadside loose if 11:." a. in. Then the' Variag turned at right angles to the westward and steamed a short distance as if to make the beach, but was. seen to suddenly turn again east and give the enemy her other broadside. The Japanese-continued firing until 12:22. when the Variag was seen to be on tire near The stern. The Russian vessels then turned back towatd the harbor and ceased tiring. The Japanese followed almost to the entrance of the harbor, tiring on the Variag. which had a heavy list to port and was evidently in a sinking Kondition. The Korietz was practically untouched. The Variag lost thirty men and seven otlicers killed, and forty-two wounded. Midshipmau Niron was killed on the bridge. The firing was not very accurate, and the Variag was bit in only sft places, but " one shot struck her on the water-line amidships and wrecked one of her engines. The Korietz was abandoned at 3:30 p. m.. her crew going on board the Pascal, and at 3:57 p. m. she blew up with a terrific explosion. The Variag tvas abandoned soon aft er, her officers deeming her situation hopeless. When the Russians anchored off the entrance to the harbor the British cruiser sent four hospital boats on board with a doctor and nurse. The United States gunboat Vlcksburff also sent three boats with surgical assistance. The Japanese casualties are not known, but it Is rumored that one torpedo boat destroyer was sunk during the action. The Russian dead, with the exception of the midshipman.

As soon, however, as 1 saw that the students were all freshmen, the truth dawned upon me. Ry that time It was too late to make any attempt to escape, for I realized that 1 would be quickly overpowered. I was bound and gagged with as much gentleness as such a strenuous operation could be done and was put into a closed carriage and driven rapidly away. I could not tell the direction, and not being familiar with the country, could .not tell how far I was, nor In what neighborhood. Says lie Wae Itoyally Treated. ' "After we reached our destination, however, I learned that I was at the farm house of Noah Brock, about two miles northeast of Darlington. I have nothing to say against my captors, as I was treated royally. The only inconvenience T experienced was the trifling matter of a few chains and the constant association of two freshmen. But I became accustomed to these things, and kept planning ways of escape. The only regret 1 have now Is that It is all over, and that I was brought In and released, for I am sure I could have made my escape before another twenty-four hours." Frehmen Differ with Hlui.

Pacts About Japan. The area of the empire is 147,000 square miles. The last census gives the population as 41,000,000. The annual expenditure of the government is $135,000,000, of which 19,000,000 goes to the army. On a peace footing the Japanese army has 175.000 officers and men aud on a war footing 675,000 men. Japan has conquered Korea three times, the first time being in 1597 and the others during the latt half of the century just passed. The 30,000 Chinese soldiers under Japanese officers may at any time, it is believed, go over töhe Japanese or be used by Japan tu protect her interests indirectlv. The percentage of the people who can read and write is nearly as great as in New England. There are 5. 000,000 pupils iu schools and colleges,

or one for every nine of the population. Here and there in Japan, as in Osaka, bandits still terrorize the inhabi tants aud exact tribute from villages for protection. There are 10,000 highwaymen in the empire, all under one chieftain. The teaching of morals is the first thing considered in the primary schools. Courage and endurance are also given high piace, particularly In the country districts, and the deeds of the old Samurai are' recalled. Ambassadors, ministers, politicians and civil servants wear trousers in public, but five minutes after the field marshal or pompous courtier has reached his home he has donned a kimono and is squatting comfortably on the floor. The Japanese were a free people when the Normans conquered England and the nation has had a stable government longer than England. The Mikados are descended from Jlmmu, who ruled when Rome's walls were not yet completed. It is disgraceful for a woman to remain unmarried, and it is bad form for her to resist her parents' choice of a husband, though marr age means virtual slavery. A son usually marries when the famiiv of his father needs a new uupaid servant. The army and navy of the emjir alike are said to be absolutely free from ''graft. " Money paid out for ammunition and equipment has been . . . . . aevotea conscientiously to tne pur poses intended, and only the best mateilals and equipments have been purChased. The Japanese are sailors by instinct. Tbey are conscripted into the navy. The fishing population is nearly 2,000,000, and from tnis tne best seamen are taken. They acquire quickly the mechanical training necessary to han dle the armament of the battleships and cruisers. The distracting headaches from which so many women suffer make life a daily purgatory. If men suffered with headache as women do, business would be almost at a standstill. Does not the fact that women only suffer from these severe headaches suggest that there must be a womanly cause for them f When the womanly organism is diseased, headache, backache, nervousness and sleeplessness are consequences which are sure to lollow.
