BOTH LAND TROOPS

Russia and Japan Arc Ilcported to be Getting Armies Into Korea. THIS MEANS A CONFLICT With Opposed Forces in Close Proximity a Clcsli Can Hardly oe ! Avoided. These Alarmist Reports Are Not Confirmed in St. Petersburg and May Not be True. Seoul, Jan. 25. Korean soldiers and police at Pyengyang, disguised as robbers, have looted all the wealthy native houses. Foreigners are growing very uneasy over the condition of affairs. The natives seemingly are apathetic. The weather i3 extremely cold. St. Petersburg, Jan. 25. Reports o! an alarming nature of the situation there continue to pour out of the far East. These include the statements that the Japanese are landing an army at Ztfa-Sam-Pho, Korea, and that 3,000 Russian troops are crossing the Yalu river. The reported dispatch of a Chinese army of soldiers trained by European officers Leyond the great wall to preserve order in Manchuria cannot be confirmed here and the reports of the Japanese at Ma-Sam-Pho and tho Russians at the Yalu are discredited at the foreign office here and by M. Kurino, the Japanese minister to Russia. M. Hartwig, a departmental chief of the Russian foreign office, spoke feelingly to M. Kurino regarding the harm being done by exaggerated and often utterly baseless reports. While the Russian government understands the situation in Korea to be disturbed and possibly threatening, it has no information of a situation grave enough to warrant a landing of a large Japanese force there. Russia freely admits Japan's rights under existing conventions to land in Korea a reasonable number of soldiers to preserve order; but the landing of an army at this stage of the negotiations could not be viewed with equanimity. M. Kurino is in no way anxious by the delay in Russia's response to the latest Japanese note, and says that Japan is not pressing for an immediate reply. "Russia will be given all the time she need3," the minister is quoted as saying. The statement published by the Novoe Vremya that because Russia desired peace she cannot surrender all, coincides with the distinct impression gathered at the foreign office that Russia will continue to maintain that the question of the sovereignty of Manchuria is solely a matter between Russia and, Japan. The Svjet and the St. Petersburg L,istoe have raised an outcry over the reported sending of Chinese troops to Manchuria, and the latter newspaper declares that if it is true that these troops go with the purpose of threatening the railroad between Port Arthur and Vladivostock, it means war with China and not with Japan. In an interview Soo Wei Ten, the Chinese minister to Russia, is quoted as saying: "The talk of China going to war with any one is absurd. "We have no intention of fighting. If Chinese troops are being sent North it is solely for the purpose of inspiring confidence in our own popple who are alarmed and who would become panic stricken in the event of hostilities between Russia and Japan." MINISTER ALLEN REPORTS American Guard in Korea Four.d Its Services Needed. Washington, Jan. 25. The state department has received official information of an attack by a mob of. native Koreans on an electric "car in Korea, the line being owned by Americans, because of the fact that it had killed a Korean. The news came in the following cablegram received Sunday from Minister Allen at Seoul: "This morning on the electric railway which Hun Are impure matters which the skin, liver, kidneys and other organs can not take care of without help, there is uch an accumulation of them. They litter the whole system. Pimples, boils, eczema and other eruptions, loss of appetite, that tired feeling, bilious turns, fits of indigestion, dull headaches and many other troubles are due to them. 1 Hood's "Sarsaparilla and Pills Remove all humors, overcome all iheir effects, strengthen, tone and Invigorate tho whole system. I had salt rheum on my hands so that I could not work. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla and it drove oat th3 humor. I continued Its use till the sores disappeared." Mbs. Irk O. Faowjr, Ilumford Falls, Me. Hood's Sarsaparilla promises to cure and keeps the promise

is TZT3 pro'perty or American citizens, a Korean was accidentally and unavoidably killed. Thereupon a mob of natives attacked and partially destroyed the car. The operators of the car would have been injured Jiad it not been for the presence of mind and action of our guard, and seriou3 riots would have occured." SERIOUS SITUATION

Several Pennsylvania Towns Submerg ed by the Susquehanna. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Jan. 25. An ica gorge has formed in the Susquehanna river and for a distance of thirty miles the river is entirely blocked. Nearly the whole town of Rupert is submerged, and on Water street the water comes up to the second story. The Pennsylvania railroad depot 13 surrounded by water and several houses have been moved from their foundations and the great majority of the farms are under water. At Boomsburg the ice is jammed up forty feet high and the large bridge over the Susquehanna at that place hrs been moved five feet and expected to collapse at any moment. One-third of the town of Bloomsburg is submerged by the waters of the Susquehanna and Fishing creek. Tho village of Espoy, two miles north of Bloomsburg, is partially sut merged. Many families have been driven from their homes by the rush of waters and many bad narrow escapes. Farmers in many instances had all their horses, cows and other live stock drowned. Wheeling Under Water. Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 25. The crest of the flood swell was reached last evening. Fully one-third of the homes in the city are wholly or partially inundated and the sharp fall -in temperature has caused a great deal of suffering. On the island very few streets are out of the water, and many second stories are invaded, but the residents are accustomed to floods and have made arrangements accordingly. Valley Corn Is in Danger. Evansville, Ind., Jan. 25. The Ohio river continues to rise here and today stands twenty feet. Over ten more feet of water is expected on the present rise. The Wabash is rising and there is nearly a half million bushels of corn along the river that may be lost. AFTER TWO MONTHS Navigation on the Ohio Has Deen Opened. Cincinnati, Jan. 25. With the arrival here of the steamer Courier, navigation was opened in part of the Ohio river after a complete suspension of almost two months. During that time seven large packets and a doen smaller ones and hundreds of coal bargeg have been anchored here. The small packets were wrecked by the breaking of ice gorges and the number of barges lost will never be known. The total direct loss is placed at $200,000. The indirect loss is much greater. It is stated that the loss of one of tho large packets by being laid up is $1,000 per day. The river is open for navigation now only between Louisville and Maysville, Ky., so that none of the through packets up the river for Pittsburg or down the river for Mississippi points are yet able to run on account of the ice. While freezing weather again prevails through the Ohio valley the river is now too high to be again closed up. WITHIN TWO HOURS A City of 11,000 Inhabitants Was Destrayed by Fire. 1 Aalesund, Norway, Jan. 25. Fire which swept over this town destroyed every building in it with the exception of the hospital. The 11,000 inhabitants of Aalesund were compelled" to camp in the open as only a few damaged and uninhabitable houses were left standing. The people endeavored to savo some . of thoir property, but they soon found they had quite enough to do to save their live3. The destruction of the town was complete within two hours from the time the fire started. It is believed now that only three persons have lost their lives. A majority of tho inhabitants of the town lost everything they possessed and only in a very few cases were the damages covered by insurance. Thousands of persons had to spend twenty-four hours in the open fields, where they were without food and exposed to a bitterly cold wind and a driving rain storm. Russian Activity In Alaska. Victoria, B. C, Jan. 25. A letter from Valdez tells of Russian priests dominating a large portion of the population of western Alaska, forbidding the teaching of the English language to those under their control and generally endeavoring to Russianize the natives of that part of Alaska. Distinguished Persian Arrives San Francisco, Jan. 25. Mirza All Asgar Khan, prima minister of Persia, who arrived here Saturday from the Orient, enroute to Mecca, left Sunday on th.9 Overland limited for Chicago. TERSE TELEGRAMS Military actirity at th Black sa ports continues on a mora eiUmlr seal than over. It ia nrjred by tho management of the wort d'a fair that domestics exhibits be forwarded without farther delay. Kight lires were lot In the wreck off Quogae, Long Island, of the four-mated (schooner Augustus Hnnt, bound for Boston from Norfolk. The entire town of Aalesund, Norway, was practically destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000. The entire population is homeless. It is estimated that from 25.000 to E0.050 ears f domestic exhibits alone will reach the St. lionis exposition during the last of March and the forepart o,f, April.

THREE INDICTED

Result of Investigation of 'Elkhart Bank Failure by Federal GrandJury. FIERCE LEGAL BATTLE That Brown, Broderick and Collins Will Plead Not Guilty is a Foregone Conclusion. Alleged Bank Wreckers Will bo Arraigned in Federal Court Wednesday. Indianapolis, Jan. 25. The action of the federal grand jury in indicting Walter Brown, J. L. Brodrick and W. I. Collins for complicity in the failure of the Elkhart bank is still the topic of conversation here and the arraignment of the prisoners before Judge Anderson here on Wednesday, when they will be obliged to enter their pleas, is being awaited with the greatest interest. That the men will all plead not guilty is regarded as a foregone conclusion. The trials will be set for some time in March probably. It is the understanding that Judge Anderson wishes to get the cases out of the way before the May term of court opens, and as considerable time may be required to hear all the evidence, March will probably be selected for the trials. That the cases will be contested at every point goes without saying, and a long and fierce legal battle is awaited. It Caused a Sensation. Elkhart, Ind., Jan. 25. An itemized statement of the charges against Brodrick, Collins and Brown published in a local paper caused a sensation that was second only to that resulting from the closing of the bank on Nov. 19. The public had been prepared for the indictments of all three, but it was not surmised that the counts would be so numerous or the sums involved so great. A SHOCKING CRIME Pike County Aroused Over Horrid Deed of Human Brutes. Petersburg, Ind., Jan. 25. At Gladish Chapel, four miles west of Petersburg, Mrs. Lafe Dedman was assaulted by five young men. Lafe Dedman and his wife are half-witted people who spend part of the time in the county poorhouse and a part of it roaming over the country among their relatives. They were passing through Madison township at night and stopped to sleep in Gladish Chapel. The scoundrels entered the church and held Dedman at the point of a revolver while they successively assaulted- his wife. Posses of officers and citizens were formed immediately upon receipt of Dedman's information, and a thorough search of the country near here was instituted. Dedman charges Willard Catt with being the leader of the gang, and others are thought to be known. Catt was arrested and while trying to fix his bond, escaped and is again at large. An eighteen-year-old youth named Thomas and a fourteen-year-old boy named Sumner were apprehended by Clinton Thomas, father of the first, at Flora, 111., and were returned to Pike county. They are heavily guarded at a secret spot near Petersburg. Open threats ot lynching have compelled the authorities to take every precaution against any outbreak. The Horrors of Drink. Peru, Ind., Jan. 25. Harry Burrell, aged twenty-three, died in a terrible manner. He had a position as saloon porter. He sprained an ankle badly and was removed to the county Infirmary. During the night he rushed from the building in a frenzy of delirium tremens, and while wandering around the country road broke the injured ankle so badly that the bona protruded and he had to walk on it. When found by Superintendent Ellirs he was sitting down, but the bone had entered the ground more than an inch. Several men had to hold him in bed until death relieved his sufferings. Kept Her Presence of Mind. Crawfordsville, Ind., Jan. 25. Mrs. Frank Warner, wife of the president of the Standard Brick company of thi3 city, awoke to find a man climbing Into her room through the window. She drew a revolver from beneath her pillow and fired point-blank at the intruder. The man fell back with a moan and disappeared. Mrs. Warner, who was alone in the house with her children, telephoned the police. Blood was found on the window sill. 8ult to Recover Gaming Losses. Fort Wayne, lad., Jan. 25. Edwin J. Travis, manager of a grain elevator at New Haven, recently lost $700 belonging to his brother, the proprietor, In the gambling rooms run by Brown &. Sprangler. He has brought suit against them to recover the money, which was lost in a game that lasted three days and nights. Bones Found In Ruins. Marion, Ind., Jan. 25. A small basket full of charred bones was found by the police in the ruins of the Home hotel, which was destroyed by an explosion early Thursday morning. It has not been determined as to whether the bones are those of a human or some animal.

JOHN R. HAWEKOTTE,

IT'S NEVER QUITE SATISFACTORY to borrow from a friend. He may say he is glad to accommodate you, when he is not. He may be greatly inconvenienced and not admit it. f You never know just how he feels about it. A little misunderstanding may cost you his friendship. Business is business. When you need money the best way is to borrow a certain amount for a fixed time at a fixed rate of interest, and to be paid back in a fixed time. Then there can be no misunderstanding; then you are free from the unpleasant feeling that you have imposed on your friend's liberality. We loan sums of ten dollars and upwards on the afore-mentioned basis. We loan to salaried people without security. We loan on small articles left in pledge. We loan oa many kinds of personal property without removal. Here are some of the terms of our new weekly payment plan, allowing jcu fifty weeks in which to pay off your loan : 60 cents Is the weekly payment on a $25 loan $1 .20 is the weekly payment on a $50 loan S 1 .80 is a weekly payment on a $75 loan 2.40 is the weekly payment on a $100 loan Other amounts in the same proportion. If these payments do not suit you, call and see us, and we will be pleased to explain other plans we have. Mail or 'phone applications receive our prompt attention. RICHMOND LOAN Co. Establlshed:i86.
