MONTOUR AMERICAN FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Peb. 25 1904. JAPANESE BAT TLESHIP SUNK LONDON, Feb. 24. — A Russian re port has readied here that four Jap auese battleships an 1 two transports have been sunk at an engagement at Port Arthur. The news of the battle at Port Arth ur comes from St. Petersburg The dispatch adds that the Japanese attack was repulsed by the Russians and that the Russian battleship Retvizan cov ered itself with glory. While no details in addition to the bare statement that six ships wer de stroyed have been received, it is up posed that this engagement was the re sult of sorties the Russians had plan ned iu order to release their bottlcd up fleet. Paris, Feb. 21 —An official tele gram received in St. Petersburg an nounces the defeat of the Japanese with serious loss at Port Arthur. Washington, Feb. 24.—The state de partment received advices this morn ing that Japan and Korea have just concluded the negotiation of a treaty guaranteeing to Korea her independ ence aud integrity. It is supposed that under the terms of the treaty, Japan is allowed to oc cupy the country temporarily with troops,with the understanding that at the conclusion of the war with Russia they will be withdrawn. London, Feb. 2-4—All dispatches from the seat of war today bring news that the Japanese are lauding from trans ports at various ports ou tho western coast of Korea that they a:e rapidly advancing within striking distance of the vanguard of the enemy and that tho natives in the towns occupied ate panic-stricken with fear. Loudon, Feb. 23.—The correspond ents of the Exchange Telegraph com pany at Paris wires that it is reported there that Japan has proclaimed a pro tectorate over Korea. London, Feb. 23. -No startling devel opments from tho scene of hostilities iu the far east Had reached London up to eatly evening. The meagre news that came told ouly of continued pre parations for the great l.tud battle near the banks of the Yalu river, in Korea. A military man. whose busi ness it is to know at any cost and by any means what is transpiring, said today that when the fight came it would be found that the Japanese slightly outnumbered the Russians. He figured that about 10t'.,000 Russians and l»55,0o(i Japanese would be engaged. This is ouly another example of Rus ian uuprepareduess, as the Russians were supposed to have at least 50,000 more men available for a speedy cam paign iu Korea. The report of the deposing of the Korean emperor, Yi-Hyeong, maybe accepted as a fa: t. Some days ago the Japanese government sent a prince of the imperial house to Seoul, as an "adviser to the Koreau government." No one iu diplomatic circles had any doubt as to what that meant or what would happen to the weak emperor of Korea. London, Feb. 24 —lt has been ascer tained by a most careful investigation that the European public, as a rule, favors Russia in the preseut conflict in the far east. Sufficient time has now elapsed for opinion to have had a chance to adjust itself, aud cor respondents yesterday polled all Eu rope, through correspondents, and the results show that so far as sympathy goes Napoleon's prediction that Eu rope would be all republican or all Oossack, has been fulfilled by it being uearly all Cossack. England itself is a loyal ally of Jap an,though the old-fashioned conserva tives, of whom the Spectator is the mouthpiece, still deprecate the alli ance, as they fear it may release some Frankenstein in the shape of the "yel low peril." A Paris correspondent has as certained while a month ago a Kusso- Freuch alliance seemed feeble, Rus sia's very misfortune has re-cemented the friendship, all circles being un animously pro-Russian, with the ex ception of tho Socialists, under M. Jaures. Poor tradesmen and peasants everywhere are buying Russian secur ities,though the value of these is con stantly falling, as a taugible way of expressing their sympathy. In Berlin it is learned that all offi cial and religious conservative ele ments of the empire are strongly pro- Russian, as they consider that any weakening of Russia would upset the balance of power and undermine mon archist institutions. Only the Social ists are anti-Russian,and their attitude is the result of hatred of an autocracy and not through regard lor the Jap anese.

WILL NEED MANY NEW LOCOMOTIVES The Pennsylvania Railroad Company j will add 50 locomotives to its equip- j ment this year. While the official an j nouncement has not yet been made, j llio motive power officers of the cor ■ poration have agreed upon the needs ! of the road, and a requisition is not j in the hands of the directors. About 200 of the locomotives will , be built by the railroad company and • the remainder will probably be con j structed by the Baldwins. Most of the ! engines will he under construction in the early spring, and by fall all will i bo iu hand. The estimated cost is *3,500,000,. The engines will be of the heavier type, and a majority will he placed in the freight service. They will be con structed at the Altoona shops, which are now undergoing extensive im provements. The passenger machines will b: used in handling the through trains, especially for the World's Fail traffic, which promises to he very large. It was not the intention of the com pany to increase its motive power to j any great extent this year. It intend i ed to spend most of its money in im proving aud enlarging itstiack facili ties. The unexpected increase in freight traffic, however, diverted the attention of transportation officials to needs along that liue, and it was de cided to build more engines as soon as possible. An officer of the company said last night that the freight congestion was due to a large extent to the lack of motive facilities. At present there are between 3000 and 4000 cars of freight awaiting movement between New York and Pittsburg. With the new engines this traffic could easily be handled. The road built or bought about 500 locomotives last year and at that time it was thought the uumber would bo sufficient for the company's needs. The constant wear and tear, however, made it necessary to put many of them in the shops. At present there are more than 100 locomotives in the var ious shops. When asked il any of the new en gines would equal in size and power those now being built tor the Santa Fe by the Baldwins, the officer refer red to above said t! ere might be a few. As a whole, however, he said, engines of such monstrous proportions are of little use iu the Eastern part of the country, especially in the moun tain districts. The order for the equipment w ill he given out as soon as possible after the annual meeting ot the company next mouth. The contract for the engines to be built outside the company's own shops will not he taken up until the middle of the summer. A MEASURE OF MERIT. Danville (Jitiz-ns Should Well this Evidence.

""VTTi ■** WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE REASSURING Owing to the ice gorges, which are expected to cause trouble and disaster, our citizens are watching the river very closely to see what the effects of the recent thaw may be. Up to last evening the rise here was not at all marked, while the reports from up the stream were not such as to cause any alarm. The situation on the whole is such ay to inspire tho people with a great deal of assurance. Tho several days of high temperature and high wind cut into the ice aud snow very deeply,the streets and the hillsides being practi cally bare If, as would seem natural the ice gorges have been affected sim ilarly the inroads already made ou these big masses of ice must be consid erable. Now that the hiiow aud ice is disap pearing and thawing is actively in progress the water,which accumulates aud drains into the river, is becoming quite muddy. This is taken as a fav orable circumstance as nothing will assist so much in honeycombing the ice as muddy water. All that is desired now is a continu ation of thti present weather condi tions. Heavy rains, it is hoped, will not occur until tho ice gorges have be come so reducod aud weakened that they will easily way before the force of the flood. Oaruegie Sends Check.

I MIQII PRICES 10R WHEAT Wheat at a dollar per bushel, which tor so long lias lieen the dream of our j farmers hereabout, is at lan realized. I Agriculturists last week began to | take heart when prices iu Chicago and | New York began to tisc passing from 9« cents oil ton dollar and even he- i jond that figure. Local pi ices are al ways below what is quoti d for wheat in the cities above named hut everj rise there if at all marked is sure to effect a corresponding advance in the local market. Up to Friday when win at in Chic ago went up to $1.03, the price paid by local millers was 1)5 cents. On Sat urday wheu Chicago what went up to $1.07 our millers began paying a dollar a bushel and this is thcfirice that was general yesterday. How long the present figures will hold out is Hltoguli. r problematical. The market seems extr. inelv active and the volume* of trade is of enor mous pro) ortious. Tin figures quoted are for May de livery. The rise is largely due to rumor® «112 the Rujsso-Japanese war spreading to i ilmr nations. Talk of stoppage ( t wheat >hip;iients from Kassia and Argentina ii a so a factor. There is said to ho a tfr< at deal of wheat stored up in Montour County, the farmers,who have kept, themselves informed on the drift of events, being in no hurry to sell. Even when the price went up lo 9;j cents local grow ers scenting a still higher rise,decided to hold onto their wheat. Whether the farmers here will de cide to bold out for higher figures or to take advantage of the dollar price and get rid of their wheat remaius to be seen. A well-known dealer stated yester day that he couldn't see that there was any special desire among the farmers to sell. This in part, he said, he was inclined to attribute to the roads which are not at aJlfin a good condition for hauling, being at places blocked with snow and impassable for any other vehicle than a sled, while for miles at a stretch elsewhere they aro practically hare. This new idea of thawing frozeu water pipes by electricity will hardly suit the plumbers. They won't have any excuse togo back to the shop foi the monkey wrench, while their time goes on.
