PORT ARTHUR, Feb. 17.—R orts
that the Japanese have ooneei.trated
about sixty thousand troops at \\ rson
(on t (e east coast of Korea) with the
object of entering Manchuria, are con-
firmed.
PARIS, Feb. 17.- An official dispatch
from Tokio announces that one of the
most important movements of Japanese
troops yet made is occurring today.
One of the main branches of the army,
consisting of three divisions and in
eluding a division of guards, is now go-
ing on board transports. '1 he previous
landings of Japanese forces in Korea
and elsewhere are said to I tve been
small whi i compared with this simul-
taneous Mailing of three divisions ag-
gregating approximately 30,000 to 50.000
men. The Japanese authorities, it is
added, have taken every precaution to
prevent information from getting out
concerning the embarkation and the des-
tination of this army.
It is believed, but it is not sure, that
their destination is a point near the
mouth of the Yalu river or at some
spot on the Liao Tung pt aula, flunk-
ing Port Arthur.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Mr. Allen,
the American minister at Seoul, cables
the state department that Wiju has
been declared open to the commerce of
the world by the Korean government.
LONDON, Feb. 17.—In a dispatch
from Vienna, the correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle repeats a rumor to the
effect that Cassini, the Russian embas
sador at Washington, is to be recalled
for failure to keep his government pro-
perly informed of the state of feeling in
the United States.
LONDON, Feb. 17.—Dispatches from
Kobe in reporting the Japanese naval
attack on Port Arthur February 14th,
•aya the Russian guardship in the harbor
and another Russian warship, lying out
aide the harbor, were torpedoed n:id
that the Japanese retired without ous-
taining auy injury.
SHANGHAI, Feb. 17,—The following
telegram has been received from Nag.i ki
under date of February 15:
"Fifteen thousand tro- ps are embank-
ing on transports today. Their horses
are in poor condition. Two damaged
warships are here waiting to go into
dry dock.*'
SHANGHAI. Feb. 17.—Baron do Ro-
sen, late Russian minister to Japan, has
arrived here on the French sten <er
Yarra. He is staying at th Russian
consulate.
TOKIO, Feb. 17.—A heavy storm °av-
ed the ''ussiana from a de.-perate tor-
pedo attack at Port Arthur on the
morning of Sunday, the 14th. During
the preceding night the Japanese flotil-
la or torpedo craft were parted by the
force of the wind anil waves in a blinding
snow storm, ho that only two of the
large destroyers succeeded in forcing
their way through the lierce gale to
Port Arthur.
When they arrived there they attack-
ed separately and ie of them is confi-
dent it succeeded m torpedoing a Rus-
sian warship. The destroyer Asargiri.
in charge of Lieutenant Commander lsh
ikawa, arrived oil Port Arthur about
three o'clock the same morning and was
met with sharp lire from the fortres
and ships acting as scouts. The Asai-
giri discharged several torpedoes at a
big warship but the- result is unknown
and the Japs fought the scouting ves-
sels with gune until they withdraw.
The destroyer Heyatory, Lieutenant
Commander Takenouehi, arrived two
hours after the Asargiri and ran up
close to the mouth of the harbor, where
she found two warships, names un-
known. She fired a torpedo at one and
the torpedo exploded. Uhikawu is cer-
tain he hit the ship. Admiral Togo, in
reporting the attack, Buys although re-
sults are unknown, he feals sure the
moral effect upon the enemy will be
excellent. Coyynauder Nagai command-
ed the entire torpedo flotilla. The num-
ber craft engaged and point of their
departure is e« ncealed, a simple state-
ment being made that they left their
base of operations on January 30.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 17.—It is of
finally admitted by the government that
the .Japanese have succeeded in obtain-
ing a foothold in Manchuria, and that
the Russian force opposed to them has
been unable to keep them back.
The admission was made last night
and caused profound sensation
throughout St. Petersburg.
No intimation i* given as to .'ether
the Japanese have entered Manchuria,
but in all probability they ha\- forced
a lodgement near Port. Arthur on the
Kwan Tung Peninsula, and also along
the Yalu, where it has been reported
in the news dispatches from the far east
the Japanese had overeon the Russian
adefeme and Mere lighting on the north
bank of the river.
The .Japanese ,h.iyc been reported
marching through Korea towa-rd the
Yalu. On Saturday it was reported the
Russians h crossed to the south side
of the river and eneountere I the Japan-
ese. taking eighty officers and men pris-
oners.
This was evidently a skirmish of out-
posts and the news given out by the
government today would indicate that
the .Japanese have brought a heavy force
to boar on the Russians end swept them
back, thus endangering the l'ort Artl tir
line of communication.
LONDON. Feb. 17— All the energies
of Japan's war directors are now bent
on a . .'antic movement of troops, which
will soon bring al ut a decisive land
battle with the i >r -s of the Czar in
Manchuria, and they hope, the capture
of Port Arthur, thus cutting its rival of
re-enforcements.
Every dispatch, official and unofficial,
received fr< i the far east tends to cor
roboratc this icw The navy has done
its ork, it is now held in Tokio, and
done it thoroughly, and the capture of
Port Arthur or the routing of the Rus-
sians massed aloi.g the north bank of

attempted next
Three hundred thousand troops are
lestined for southern Mamhu: a. Many
will reach there by landing at Clm m;lp<

Judge Burford Grants Another
Judge on Motion
GUTHRIE, Feb. 17. In the district
court yesterday afternoon a motion was
filed by John Devereaux, representing
Horace Speed in the cause wherein Faw-
ned county seeks to recover from Mr.
Speed on contract a certain sunt of
money alleged to have been unlawfully
retained by the latter. The motion
asked for a change of judge and al-
leged that the judge presiding is biased
and prejudiced against the defendant
and that lie cannot have a fair and im-
partial trial. When the application was
brought to the attention of Judge Bur-
ford he immediately made an order
granting the change and directed the
clerk of the ourt to transmit a copy of
the order to the clerk of the supreme
court. The upreme court will be in
special session March 4. and the matter
of designating another judge to try the
ease will come before the court at that
time, unless Chief Justice Burford shall
in the meantime assign some other judge
to hear the case.
The suit has been made the basis of
charges against Mr. Speed in the de-
partment of justice at Washington and
the proof of sonic of the allegations in
the petition would strengthen tin use
against Mr. Speed in the depart, ut.
The answer of Mr. Speed was unu- ally
complete and set a number of matters
that had not been pleaded. The case
is now pending on a motion to strike
out parts of the answer.
In passing on the motion for eh-nge
of judge, Judge Burford said: I very
much regret that Mr. Speed has felt
justified in making the affidavit charg-
ing me with prejudice against hiin.
There certainly is no foundation for
such u conclusion. Our relations, both
official und social, have always beeu of
the most cordial, intimate and friendly,
and at times confidential.
"If anything has ever occurred to
mar these relations I am not aware of
it. I have always entertained the per-
fect confidence in his honor and in-
tegrity. 1 read in a m wspaper article a
few days since the statement that it
'was not generally known that differ
enees 1 long standing' existed between
Mr. Speed and myself. That such was
not generally known is evidently true.
If such differences even existed be-
tween Mr. Speed and myself no one ap
prised me of if. and if Mr. Speed knew of
any he did not make it known. I do not
know whether or not this statement was
inspired; In any event it was not the
truth so far as I am concerned or
have any information.
"I am pleased to be relieved of the
unpleasant duty and einbarassinent of
trying this case. The charges made
igainst Mr. Speed are of a serious char
aeter and no one would desire the ' tir
den of trying the case, yet it was a it\
I would not voluntarily shirk I fee!
that 1 could give Mr Speed a fair und
impartial ti i. according to my under
standing of the Uw und do him, as
well as Pawnee county, justice. I know
I entertain no prejudice or unfriendli
ness toward him; my sympathy has been
for I .n But sympathy and friendship
have no place in a law suit, and pre
judice i ust not enter into judicial delib-
eration.^. I hope and trust that Mr
S11 • (l is inn 'cent of those charges; \ et
I |, i ve no place for boodiers or eoi rup
♦ ionlsts. Any man, civilian or officii-1,
who will gilt or accept bribes is e 'itled
to no sympathy and cle erve-> th se-
verest condemnation and punishment.
"And notwithstanding Mr. Speed ha
felt impelled to make this affidavit,
which for some reasons I regret. 1 trust
that no corrupt motives or actions can
I him.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17. In the pros
cnee of the grief stricken family, of many
fi.ends, whose sorrow was scarcely less
pronounced, of the senate and house of
representatives, of dignitaries from all
other branches of the government and
of the ediief representatives of most of
the foreign powers, the funeral of the
late Senator Hanna occurred in the sen-
ate chamber. The spectacle was impos-
ing and quite in harmony with the pub
lie estimate of the great services to his
country and to the world. The cere
mony was dignified and Ample in con
aonance with his character. The senate
chamber lent itself for the occasion.
Seldom has a more distinguished audi
ence of people been collected in Wash
i.igton to do honor, either to the living
or dead, and rarely has there been wit
nesscd here more impressive proceedings.
The demand for tickets was such that
if it could have been met all the space
Would have been filled many times over.
There were Chief justices and associate
justices of the supreme court of the
United States, garbed in their black
robes of otl'i which fitted well into the
scene of sorrow. There were scarcely
any absentees from among the members
of the senate. Each and all of them
were visibly affected and it w is not dif-
ficult to detect in their sorrowful coun-
tenances a sense of personal loss that
all felt in Mr. llanna's death.
The desk of their late < olleague was
heavily draped. Thu religious ceremony
was in the hands of Dr. Everett Hale,
the chaplain, thus giving it an official
character, while preserving it.- solemnity
and insuring iTs simple dignity.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. When Proa
ident Roosevelt and members of the tab
inet were announced, all present arose
und the party were escorted by Col.
Symons and Commander Wi -slow in full
uniform. The president and his cabinet
occupied the front row of seats. Mrs.
Hanna entered leaning heavily upon the
arm of her son, Dan R. Hanna. After
Dr. Hale concluded the eloquent sermon
and offered prayer the gridiron quar
tetto ang "Nearer My God To Thee."
This was the last tiibute <>f an organi-
zation with which Hanna had been a
great favorite. W hile the rvices were
in progress, suppressed sobs were heard
in many parts of the chamber. When the
hymns were concluded President Protein
Fry addressed the assembly, saying:
"We commit the body of our beloved
senator now to the committees of both
house • of congress and to the officcra of
the senate to be < ivcyed to hi late
home in Ohio and to its final resting
place. May God sanctify his life and
death to us whom loved him well."
The services then closed with the ben-
ediction by l>r. llale, and the senate
then, at 1 o'clock adjourned.
SORROW AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. At the
White Hon ycMtrdn) the president
and all the attaches shared in the gen-
eral sorrow ovyr the ihtith of Senator
Hanna. Prsident Roosevelt, the mem-
bers of his cabinet, senators and reprc
scntatives in congress and cullers of all
classes sadly paid tribute to the mem-
ory of the dead statesman.
From the entrance of the lamented
President McKinley into the white
House, Senator Hanna was a conspicu-
ous figure ut the executive mansion.
Both before and after he became a mem-
ber of the senat Senator Hanna was
a frequent caller ut the White House,
und his visits have bc«n frequent since
Mr. Roosevelt succeeded to the presi-
dency. President Roosevelt entertained
u cordial regard for Senator Hanna ami
the senator reciprocated that feeling.
While they differed at times, as strong
men may differ, their personal relations
were never endangered by the differ-
ences. Indeed, so high was the regard
In which the president hfcld Mr. Hanna
and his ability as a political manager
and as a potent fojee in national af-
fairs that a few monttis ago he requested
him urgently, in the event of his nomina-
tion for the presidency, to assume again
the cares and responsibilities of direct-
ing the national campaign. While it
was feared that Mr. Hanna*! ill health
might induce him to decline again to
accept the chalrfnanshlp of the ^ publi-
can national committee, he had not re-
turned at the time ho was stricken
ny his fatal sickness the final answer
to the president's request.
Repre ntative William Alden Smith
of Michigan related at the \\ lite House
yesterday a touching incident of a con-
versation he had with Senator Hanna.
He went to the senator in the senate
chamber one day to invite him to at ten I
ns one of the distinguished men of the
country the .-mi-eentonnial celebration
of the founding of the republican party
to be held at Jackson, Mich., July 0
next.
"I don't know where I will be then."
was the senator's pathetic reply to the
invitation.
"Why, you will be right here, of
course," returned Representative mitli,
reassuringly.
"No," replied Mr. Iluntui, "I'm afraid
I won't."
"I walked to the roar of the senate
chamber," said Mr. Smith, "and, look
in^ back at the senator, wandered if
he hud a -remonition that he might
not live long. The impression made by
his words never left me."
At the meeting of the cabinet yes-
terday the death of the Ohio senator
was lamented deeply. All the members
entertained for hiin the profoundest re-
gard und respect.
The opportunity afforded by the
meeting was embraced by ull present
to j y personal tributes to their dead
fiiI-nd. Little business w« transacted
next Monday out of respect to Sennator
Hanna. At that time the two houses
will l>e formally notified by Govern©*
Herriek of the death of the senator,
and two weeks Inter, on March 14, a
ballot will be taken for a successor in
the United States senate.
The political situation is very unset-
tled at the pioaent time, and who the
republicans >ill agtee on is beyond a
conjecture.
