TROOPS TO TAKE FIELD

Korean Soldiers Ordered by the Emperor to Join With Their Neighbors on Fight ins Line.

Japan in Return Guarantees the Independence and Territorial Integrity of Korea.

Seoul, Feb. 27. The Korean government has decided to order the Korean troops to join the Japanese in the field. The port of Wiju has been opened to foreign trade. This action necessitates a harbor, so Yongampho has been decided upon.

"Washington, Feb. 27. The Japanese legation has received from Tokio the text of the treaty negotiated between Japan and Korea by the terms of which the former government "guarantees the independence and the territorial integrity of the Korean empire." The treaty was negotiated Feb. 23 at Seoul. St. Petersburg, Feb. 27. It is rumored that the Japanese minister at Seoul, Korea, has requested the Korean government to hand the French minister his passports.

A remarkable scene was witnessel at Cronstadt last night where a general confession was given by Father John, of Cronstadt in St. Andrews" church. Since the beginning of Lent pilgrims have been arriving there from throughout European Russia and the lodging houses are full. The church was thronged with worshippers and there was an immense crowd outside. With the commencement of the services the congregation began to wail and their cries, groans and shouts produced a wierd effect. The tumult ceased suddenly when Father John arose and pronounced forgiveness of the sins of all present.

POLITICAL GOSSIP

NO LIVES LOST

.WHY HE DID IT

Cause for Admiral Togo's Recent Port Arthur Operations. London, Feb. 27. Olncial Russian and other dispatches show that there has been a succession of attacks or demonstrations by the Japanese at Port Arthur, probably undertaken with the intention of covering or preparing for a Japanese landing elsewhere, and possibly with the hope of inflicting further damage on the Russian war ships and increasing the demoraliza-

0 T?TVT ITI T?T)T?T? seem apparent that little damage was (ft 11 III mm I i M I 1 1 I ' inflictecl on either side, although the V Willi 1 J.LUU dispatches leave the exact situation at

Port Arthur in some obscurity. The reported landing of Japanese at Possiet bay, near Vladivostock, has not yet been confirmed. This movement, however, is not considered improbable. A Shanghai correspondent has sent interesting news of Japanese military operations. He asserts that Port Dalny is being evacuated by the Russians who boast that they have mined the breakwater, wharves and railroad sidings there in order to prevent the Japs from making use of these facilities. This correspondent repeats that the Russians have only supplies for five months at Port Arthur, and says that a large number of Japanese transports have returned to Nagasaki, where they are busily enraged in embarking more troops to be taken to the vicinity of Port Dalny. Over forty transports have left Nagasaki since Feb. 10, and a still larger ambarkation has been proceeding from Ujina, near Hiroshima, on the inland sea. Ujina and not Kioto, the correspondent . concludes, wil be the army and navy headquarters during the war.

i This correspondent has recently j been in Nagasaki and is probably well i informed. In any event, it is taken j for granted in London that Admiral ; Togo's recent operations have been

The Well-Known Specialist, Franklin Miles, M. D., LL. B., Will Send His Book and $3.75 Worth of His Personal Treatment Free to Any Header. There never was a better opportunity for persons suffering1 from diseases of the heart, nerves, liver, .stomach and kidneys to test, free, a remarkably successful Treatment for these disorders. Dr. Miles is known to be a leading specialist in these diseases and his liberal offer is certainly worthy of serious consideration by every afflicted reader. His system of personal Treatment is thoroughly scientific and immensely superior to other methods. It includes several new remedies carefully selected to suit each individual case and is the final result of twenty-five years of very extensive research and great success in treating these diseases. Each treatment consists of a curative elixir, tonic tablets, eliminating pills and usually a plaster. Extensive statistics clearlv demonstrate

Admiral Togo's Daring Venture Unattended by Fatalities. Tokio, Feb. 27. Vice Admiral Togo's attempt to bottle up the Russian fleet at Port Arthur by sinking a fleet of stone-laden merchant steamers in the mouth of the harbor evidently failed, though the venture caused no loss of life and the vessels lost were not of great value. Five ships were prepared by Vice Admiral Togo for the attempted blockade. Four are reported to have been sunk, but the fate of the fifth is unknown here. It is presumed that it withdrew with the other Japanese vessels. The five vessels were filled with stones so as to make the obstruction permanent and were manned by volunteer merchant crews. It was impossible to select naval officers and sailors on account of their great rivalry to participate in the daring venture. Accompanied by four battleships, nine cruisers and numerous vessels of the torpedo flotilla, the stone-laden steamers reached Port Arthur on Wednesday. While the fleet engaged the shore batteries, the steamers made a dash for the mouth of the harbor directly under the Russian guns. Details of the attack have not been received, but it is evident that the Russian's fire sank the steamers before they reached the point planned for their foundering by the Japanese. It

is said that all of the crews of the four vessels escaped in boats and were picked up by the Japanese torpedo boat destroyers. The report that two of the torpedo boat destroyers were sunk by the Russians is denied. The naval department has received a brief dispatch from the commander of one cf the torpedo boat destroyers saying that no lives and no warships were lost and that no damage was inflicted by the Russians. Pending the receipt of the official report of Vice Admiral Togo, the naval department declines to make any announcement regarding the affair.

Second District Republicans Have Strong Hopes This Year. Indianapolis, Feb. 27. John C. Billheimer, deputy auditor of state, and Republican chairman of the Second district, announced today that a convention will be held at Spencer, March 24, to nominate a candidate for congress, two delegates and two alternates to the national convention and a presidential elector. The Second district is composed of Owen, Monroe, Lawrence, Martin, Knox, Sullivan, Greene and Daviess counties. Billheimer says it is generally conceded that John C. Chaney of Sullivan will be renominated. He made a very good race against Representative M.iers two years ago. He has always claimed that but for an unexpected falling off in the vote of Lawrence and Martin counties owing to a row over the candidate for state senator he would have been elected. He is anxious to try it over. The Second is one of the strong Democratic districts. The avowed candidates for delegates to the national convention are Harvey E Cushman of Linton, Joseph Henley of Bloomington and Joe Boris of Bedford. J. W. Emmission of Vincennes may also be a candidate.

President Bryan of the Indiana University was here today consulting an architect regarding the plans for the student hall which is to be constructed this year. This is the building for which John D. Rockefeller made an appropriation offering to give as much as the university could raise. The friends of old I. U. have been liberal so Mr. Rockefeller will have to donate nearly $50,000. The hall will be a decided Improvement to this growing institution. It will be constructed of Indiana limestone and will contain two auditoriums, one for men and one for women, and a' beautifully equipped club room. All the space has not been alloted, President Bryan says. Over $130,000 will be expended in new buildings at the institution this year.

Retvizan guards the Bar. St. Petersburg, Feb. 27. It is understood that the battleship Retvizan alone remains anchored outside the mouth of the harbor at Port Arthur, acting as a gtiardship. The remainder of the Russian squadron is inside, so as to avoid a torpedo attack. The idea that the Japanese seriously contemplated a bombardment of Port Arthur, involving exposing their ships to a plunging fire from the guns on Golden Hill, is considered by the military experts here to be absurd

Sighted Each Other. Tokio, Feb. 27. Russian and Japanese scouts sighted each other Thursday morning at Sukchen, twenty-five miles north of Ping Yang, Korea, but did not come in contact. The Russians are not moving southward of the Tu-

United States liegulars, located at San Diecro, Cal., says. "Dr. Miles' Special Treatment has worked wonders in my son's case when else failed. I had employed i lie bt-st medical talent and had spent $2,000 in doing so. I believe he is a wonderful specialist. I consider "it my duty to recommend him." "For years I had severe trouble with my stomach head, neuralgia, sinking spellsand dropsy. Your treatment entirely cured me." Mr. Julius Keister, of 350 Michigan avenue, Chicaeo,. testifies that Dr. Miles cured him after ten able physicians had failed. Mrs. R. Trimmer of Greenspring Pa., was cured after many physicians had pronounced her case "hopeless." As all afflicted readers may have his Book and .$3.75 worth of Treatment especially adapted to their case free, we would advise them to send for it before it is too late. Address.

This incie'ent Reads Like a Chapter Frzm Medieval History. Ft. Petersburg, Feb. 27. Like a knight of olden times, beiore going to battle. Gen. Kuropatkin performed the most solemn rites of the mother church. After" fasting this week, he went to the church in the cadet corps academy, where he was educated, made his confession and partook of the sacrament. A touching ceremony followed. The officiating priest, holding up the sacred image of St. Sergius, which has just arrived in Moscow, blessed the prostrate commander and bade him godspeed. The general was shaken with emotion, and embraced many of his assembled comrades. The metropolitan of Moscow, who accompanied the Ikon of St. Sergius to this city, has received a letter from the czar, recalling the overthrow of the Tartar forces under its suspices and prophecying that it will also lead the Russians to victory over the Japanese. Like millions of their subjects the czar and czarina yesterday made confession of their sins. It was a day of praise as well as of prayer, however, and the solemn rites attending the ceremony of confession alternated with thanksgiving for the news received from the East. Their majesties confessed in the church of the winter palace to Court Chaplain Yanysheff, and afterwards walked to the Imperial tombs in the cathedral of St Peter and St. Paul. They prayed for

Delegates are already gathering here for the second national conference of this year to make a wage scale for the coal fields. This will be the most important labor conference of the year. The official paper of the organization says: "The special convention will meet on Monday. The time is past for speculation or conjecture. What the outcome will be no one can foretell, but all hope that some way will be found to avoid a conflict. The delegates will bear a heavy responsi

bility and upon their wisdom and discretion the hopes of their constituents

Secretary Sims of the Republican state committe announced today that the Republicans of the Ninth district will meet at Noblesville, March 17, to name delegates to the national convention. W. D. Marker of Tipton and George Dinwiddie of Frankfort will be elected as delegates and G. W. Landon

Russian Discrimination.

Yin Kow. Feb. 27. An American

refugee from Harbin says the authori

ties there have discriminated in the

expulsion of Americans, Japanese and

British subjects. Persons of other nationalities have not been molested.

This is virtually the situation at other places, especially Port Arthur, where

nearly all the Germans are officials The few American and British sub

jects there have been required to sign

an agreement to leave within a given

time. The authorities say that all the Japanese have left Port Arthur in installment3 on the last steamers from there, but an English refugee says

there are 300 Japanese women at Port

Arthur who were unable to get

steamer and were sent north again

by the authorities. These women cannot be accounted for, although Henry

B. Miller, United States consul at New

Chwang, has repeated his inquiries

concerning their whereabouts.
