A CITH DINGER

Evansville Has a Startling I Experience "With Fire : Fiend. "WATER POWER FUTILE Circuit in IMini pi ng Station Puts tlie City Practically' at the Mercy of the Flames. Other Cities are Being: Called Upon to Supply F.iifjiiies to Meet the Emergency. Evansville, Ind., Feb. 18. Fire destroyed ten residences in the Howell railroad addition to the city. The loss Is $10,000. There was a high wind and the bucket brigade was powerless. Evansville fire companies went to the relief of the suburb, but on account of the low water pressure in the city mains were compelled to rely on chemicals in the assistance rendered. City officials have gone to Louisville, Cincinnati and St. Louis for engines. The water situation is slightly relieved. Two pumpboats are in commission at the old water works and one at the West Side station, and another pump will be installed at the old works. Factories are pumping directly from the mains. SUES HER MOTHER-IN-LAW Crawfordsville Woman Asks for Ten Thousand Dollars Damages. Crawfordsville,' Ind., Feb. 18 The $10,000 damage suit of Mrs. June Gregg against Mrs. Sarah M. Gregg is in progress in the Montgomery circuit court and owing to their social prominence the trial is attracting large attention. The defendant is the mother of the plaintiff's divorced husband and the widow of Samuel H. Gregg, for many years a leading citizen of Crawfordsville. It is alleged in the complaint that the defendant alienated the affections of the plaintiff's husband, George M. Gregg, and it is for this that damages are sought. The plaintiff during .her married life lived with her husband at the home of his parents, and the charges she makes against her mother-in-law are of a sensational character. A number of society people of Crawfordsville have been summoned as witnesses and a bitter contest is expected. The defendant is quite wealth- and has always stood high in the commnuity. Religion Breaks Up Hc-ne. Marion. Ind.. Feb. IS. H. H. Dunn, an employe of the Malleable iron works, went, to his homo Monday night after finishing his day's labor and found his house empty and his wife, and foTir children missinsr.

IMPORTANT DECISION

Congressional Candidates Must Not Name Their Own Delegates. Indianapolis, Feb. IS. The decision of the Republican state committee that no candidate for congress or other office will be permitted to name his own delegates is liable to have a most disastrous effect on the candidacy of Fred Landis of Logansport for renomination. A prominent Eleventh ' district Republican who was here today declared that the anti-Steele combination could never have won last year If the candidates had not been permitted to name their own delegates. With an open field he asserted that Major Steele will be able to break into the anti-Steele ranks in Wabash, Cass and Blackford counties and" get enough to win. He predicted that Steele would be at least fifteen per cent stronger In looking after his tiwn candidacy than he was in looking after the interests of Elam Neal of Jonesboro for district chairman. The statement was made here today on what was apparently reliable authority that Hugh Th. Miller of Columbus has finally determined to become a candidate for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor and that he will make a public announcement to that effect within a few days, possibly this week. It was also declared that If Miller enters Walter Ball of Muncie, former state senator, will become a candidate, so there is a prospect that the field for second place will fill as it did for governor after all the politicians had concluded that Taylor and Hanly would have it all to themselves. The friends cf L. P. Newby who Is the only avowed candidate for lieutenant governor are not dismayed at the prosper of opposition but on the contrary seem to be pleased as they say they will know what to do if they are certain just who they will have to fight. "Billy" Taylor, the Indianapolis candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, is full of enthusiasm over his prospects of winning. He took occasion today to contradict a story that is going the rounds that he lost in the Rush county primaries for the selection of delegates. He says that he is sure of eight of the thirteen delegates and may get more. The friends of .Hanly, however, expect to get nine of the delegates. Taylor is not dis mayed because the Twelfth district J endorsed Judge Penfield, as Penfield j lives there and the endorsement was j naturally expected, but Taylor says j he will get the district when the final : round comes. His ohiee is just now j one of the busiest places in Indianapolis for he is carrying on a tremendous correspondence. The stock of Harry S. New of India napolis as a candidate to succeed himself as national committeeman has j gone way up since he was indorsed at i the Twelfth district convention. The j action there was a surprise to most j leaders, as it has been reported for j sometime that Senator Fairbanks and j what is termed as his "machine" in- j tend to elect Charles L. Henry as ; committeeman. The Twelfth is strict-j ly a Fairbanks district, as he distrib-; . i i , i . utes tne patronage mere, fco n ne na.u desired the defeat of New he could have easily had Henry endorsed. It is believed now that Senator Fairbanks proposes to keep his hands off and permit New and Henry to fight it out between themselves. Governor Durbin and his party did not get away last night for Cleveland but will leave tonight at 6:25 in a special car over the Big Four. He will be accompanied by members of his staff. Secretary of State Storms, Auditor Sherrick, Reporter of Supreme Court Remy, United States District Attorney Kealing, Chairman Goodrich, of the state committe, H. C. Starr of Richmond, and other well known Republicans who held the late Senator Hanna in highest regard. National committeeman New left yjstarday afternoon for Cleveland in order to meet the funeral party. VALUABLE LESSON Will be Drawn In Building Construe tion From Baltimore Fire. Baltimore, Feb. 18. -As indicating that the situation in Baltimore is easing up, the civil and military authorities express the opinion that it will be safe to withdraw all the troops from the burned district at the end of another week. Another significant indication is the announcement that the issuance of permits to rebuild on the streets that are not to be widened will begin within two or three days. A committee composed of nine members of the national board of underwriters is here to prepare an exhaustive report' on the conditions of alleged fireproof buildings after the fire and to make recommendations as to those who propose to rebuild. It is agreed by these experts that the most advanced ideas of fireproof construction have undergone their first real test in th Baltimore fire and the purpose of the present investigation is to make the most of the lesson. All the Insurance experts here say that the data to be gleaned from the recent conflagration here will compensate in a measure for the loss sustained and they are making extensive preparations to study the effect the fire had on what was supposed to be absolute fire proof construction and to draw valuable deductions. Fial tic Fleet Passing Out. Copenhagen, Feb. 18. A dispatch has been received here frdm Wisby, Island of Gothland, saying that six Russian warships passed the island Feb. 16, going south.

1 CAUTIOUS FOLI

Japan Is Most Successfully Keeping Her Yav Plans 1 Secret. ENEMY KEPT IN I) AUK Not a Single Item That Would, bo of Service to itussia Has Been Per milted to Leak Out. The Opinion Prevails That Third Battle Has Taken Place at Port Arthur Cable Cut. Sasabo, Japan, Feb. 18. The opinion of Japanese naval officers here Is that a third fight has occurred off Port Arthur. Some of the Russian war vessels have been reported as leaving that place. Harbin, Manchuria, Feb. 18. The Manchurian newspapers publish a manifesto by the Czar, countersigned by the high mandarians which recalls the benefits China has derived from the friendship of Russia. Che Foo, Feb. 18. The Port ArthurChe Foo cable was cut yesterday. London, Feb. 18. Japan is most successfully keeping her plans secret. Not a single item of news which could be of possible service to the enemy has been permitted to leak out. The belief is prevalent in London, based on hints in dispatches from correspondents, is that her main object will be found to be the Liao Tung peninsula, but that nothing of a military nature will be attempted until Russia's naval squadrons are effectually disposed of. Dispatches published in London newspapers continue to give alleged descriptions of the embarking of Japanese troops. Instead of this embarkation occurring secretly from Ujina, as was the case during the China-Japanese war, the transports, according to published dispatches, are openly embarking troops from Nagasaki, Moji, Kobe and elsewhere. A cablegram from Nagasaki says troops are clearing every night from these ports for Korea and ten large steamers were embarking troops at Nagasaki last Monday. All arms of the service were represented, but the cavalry horses were such scrubby ponies that they hardly seemed worth transporting. Tne embarkations were all remarkably well managed. Numerous shallow sampans (small harbor boats), as well as ordinary boats suitable for being rowed or towed in shallow water or through a heavy surf are taken on the transports. In conclusion this correspondent says the harbor of Nagasaki has been mined. Cabling from Shanghai under date of Feb. 17, a correspondent declares that a combined movement between a Japan fleet and a large landing force from Nagasaki is now proceeding. The reports that the Japanese have captured the Asiatic company's steamer Manchug-ia, as well as the Siberian railway's steamer of the same name, are confirmed. AN ABLE ALLY Winter Will Help Russians as It Did In Napoleon's Time. St. Petersburg, Feb. 18. The rigid censorship imposed here upon all news from the far East completely masks the movements of Russian troops and the plans of those in command; but what is being done is evidently satisfactory to the authorities here as they manifest the utmost confidence that when the proper time arrives the enemy wiil be crushed . They say that the preliminary sea victories of the Japanese will then be speedily forgotten. Russia was taken unawares at the outset, and some little time will be required to complete the mobilization of Russian troops. There will Le no disposition to meet the evident wish of the Japanese to rush matters to a decision. "Russia can afford to wait," is a common expression heard here, and time and patience always have been strong allies of the empire of the North. Moreover, the excessively severe winter weather at the scene of war, it Is averred, also fights on the side of the Czar's legions as it did in the days of Napeolon, when the Russian proverb "January, February and March are among the emperor's ablest generals" was coined. At Port Arthur the thermometer registeres two degrees below zero. The concentration of Russian troops will proceed as rapidly as possible, but it Is fair to assume that Viceroy Alexieff will not take the aggressive until he feels certain of his ability to administer a decisive defeat. Therefore, in spite of the extensive landing operations of the Japanese in Korea, an important land fight is not considered here to be imminent, although it is believed that the passage of the Yalu river by the Japanese will be disputed. A government communication published in the official Messenger warns the public that it must wait patiently for news of Russian victories and says It is useless to waste men in seeking overhasty revenge.
