READY FOR BATTLE.
NEW YORK. Oct. P. A dispatch
totfhe Herald direct from Port Ar
thur soys, under Thursday's datet
A Japanese squadron Is maneuvering-
oft Corea.
The Russian fleet Is perfectly
ready. It is lying with steam up,
and the vessels are painted as in war
time.
It is denied here,, from the high
est quarters that the Japanese are
landing troops.
PARIS, Oct S. Official Information re
ceived here shows that a formidable Rus
sian fleet, comprising 90 warships of all
classes, has left Port Arthur and has ar
rived at Ma San Pho, south of Corea, where
the Japanese fleet had already arrived.
The Russian ships have anchored within
the Ma San Pho harbor, alongside the
Japanese ships.
Several brigades of Russian troops have
been- moved forward to the Corean coast
and are now encamped on the bqrder.
Diplomatic negotiations are still proceed
ing at Toklo. These do not relate to the
evacuation of Manchuria by the Russian
troops, but to the future of Corea.
- -SnXISTER DISCOUNTS IT.,
Japanese Diplomat Shows Assem
bling: of Fleet Is Impracticable.
LONDON. Oct. 8. The Japanese Min
ister here. Baron Hayashl, today described
the announcement made by tho London
Daliy Mall's correspondent at Kobe, Japan,
that Baron De Rosen, the Russian Min
ister to Japan, had presented a note to
the Japanese government contending that
Japan had no just right to intervene in the
question of the evacuation of Manchuria,
and characterizing the proposed partition
of Corea "between Russia and Japan as be
ing "fantastical and unworthy of consid
eration." "The news from Kobe," the Minister
say?, "is about as unreliable as news from
Shanghai."
He reiterated that there was nothing In
the situation in Corea to occasion uneasi
ness. J
"I have not heard and I do not believe,"
added the Japanese Minister, "that Rus
sia has intimated her refusal to evacuate
Manchuria, and that she has refused to
allow Japan, to interfere with her occu
pation. I see nothing In the situation at
the present moment that supports the re
ports of a warlike attitude on the part of
either Russia or Japan."
The Minister added he had not re
ceived a word regarding any concentra
tion of or alarming movement of the Rus
sian fleet in the far East
Regarding the report that the Russian
fleet had arrived at Ma San Pho, Baron
Hayashl remarked Russia had only
about 30 warships In the whole Far East,
and It would be a physical impossibility
on account of coal and other supplies for
them to remain at Ma San Pho. It would
be tho most unlikely place for them to go
to even if Russia contemplated hostilities.
as It is within easy striking distance of
Japan's strong naval base at Tsu, in the
Straits of Corea, So far as Baron Hayashl
knows, it would be equally unreasonable
for the Japanese fleet to go to Ma San
Pho.
Great Britain Has No Information.
LONDON, Oct 8. The Foreign Office In
forms the Associated Press that it has
heard nothing of the reported gathering of
Russian warships at Ma San Pho. The
Foreign Office reiterates that Its advices
give no indication of a Russo-Japanese
outbreak.
The Associated Press learns the dispatch
of tho British Minister to Japan, Sir
Claude McDonald, while detailing many
requests made by Russia in the negotia
tions at Toklo. in connection with con
cessions In Corea, relating chiefly to
wharves, makes no reference to any pos
slblllty of an impending crisis.
RUSSIA FAILS TO EVACUATE.
China Will Await Result of Czar's
Negotiations With Japan.
YOKOHAMA, Oct 8. According to all
reports, today, the date fixed for the evac
uation of parts .of Manchuria by the Rus
sian troops, passed without a Russian
move toward the evacuation of Manchuria.
In the meantime the Russo-Japanese ne
gotiations regarding. Corea and Manchuria
are proceeding at Toklo between the Jap
anese Cabinet and the Russian Minister,
Baron de Rosen. The latter is acting un
der direct instructions from Admiral Alex
left. Viceroy of the Far East
The prospect Is considered doubtful un
less Russia makes substantial concessions
The' rumor of the Japanese rejection of
the Russian demands Is officially denied.
The press today was officially warned
against Indulging in sensationalism.
China is understood to be waiting for
the result of Japan's negotiations before
further treating with Russia for the evac
uation of Manchuria.

SAN FRANCISCoToct 8. Among tho
passengers on the steamer San Jose,
from Southern ports were Carlos Marenes
and his young daughter. Marenes was a
prominent merchant In the city of Gran
ada, Nicaragua, and considered a man of
wealth, but today he is an exile and vir
tually destitute. Marenes lays his troubles
at tho door of President Zelaya, of Nica
ragua. Marenes is of a political faith op
posed to Zelaya, and the merchant de
clares ho incurred the personal animos
ity of the ruler.
A short time ago Marenes says, Zelaya
called upon him for a loan of 560,000. The
loan in this case meant confiscation, it
being customary not to repay and to pun
ish those who have the hardihood to ask
for a return of such moneys. Marenes
was then advised by his friends to flee
from the country, as his life was en
dangered, and he accordingly sought safe
ty on the San Jose. A story camo on the
steamer that Marenes had been ordered
flogged by tho President but upon this
subject he had nothing to say.

CHICAGO, Oct 8. John C. Spey, the
wealthy lumber merchant on the witness-
stand before Judge Grosscup, In the Fed
eral Court today told the story of'an
attempted $100,000 deal by which the minor
ity stockholders in the Union Traction
Company, of this city, were to be induced
to keep "hands off" during the reorganiza
tion of the company. Mr. Spey admitted
ho was to be paid $5000 cash down and $5000
later for his efforts to settle matters If
the efforts were successful. This offer, he
said, was made by Attorney W. W. Gur
ley, counsel for the Union Tractfon Com
pany. The witness said, however, that before
he saw Mr. Gurley he had a talk with
James Townsend, a minority stockholder,
about getting the matter settled. This ad
mission throws the initiative in the mat
ter outside the Union Traction attorney's
office.,

GROUT AND FORNES.
FORNES Piatt's official life has
been conspicuous for his successful
brokerage in public offices; OdelL
previous to his election, was best
known as a successful lobbyist.
GROUT If taken sanely by the Fus
slonlsts, my indorsement by Tam
many would aid Mayor Low. I did
not want to stand for re-election,
but he requested, me to do so. I
shall make my fight on my record
as Controller.
NEW YORK, Oct 8. Although profess
ing his determination to contest the right
of tho Republican and Citizens' Union city
conventions to displace him as their nom
Inee for Controller, Edward M. Grout has
mado no appeal to the courts thus far. The
filing of the amended ticket of the Re
publican organization with the Board of
Election was made without protest from
either Mr. Grout or Mr. Fornes, and thus
one step In the process of substitution
has been accomplished.
President Fornes, of the Board of Alder-
men, tonight issued a statement contain
ing the following:
'Because I consented to have my candi
dacy Indorsed by the regular Democratic
organisation, I-ani'declared unworthy o
going before the electorate upon, the Fu
sion ticket and by whom? By Mr. Bruce,
recently from Delaware County, and now
chairman of the Republican ,county com
mlttco; by Mr. Piatt,, tho 'easy boss' of
the Republican party, and whoj official
life has been conspicuous chiefly for his
successful brokerage In public office In
order that his henchmen might strengthen
him In tho primary contests of the Re
publican party; by Mr. Odell, a partisan
Republican Governor-, who, previous to his
election to that exalted office, was distin
guished chiefly for his ability to control
legislation through the unsavory meshes
of the lobby, and whom the people of this
city repudiated at the last election by the
most overwhelming defeat that any candi
date for public office ever suffered at Its
hands. These aro the men, and these are
tho- forces, which havo cast a bllghtoyer
the causo of fusion and struck the dead
liest blow at nonpartisan municipal gov
ernment which it has ever received."
Grout Gives His Side o Case.
Controller Grout also issued a statement
today. He charges the- Citizens' Union
with being under Senator Piatt's rule. In
part, Mr. Grout says:
"All parties, all newspapers, agree that
I have been an honest and efficient Con
troller. I shall stand for re-election on
that record, which all havo approved. Be;
fore I went away on my vacation, I made
known to some Fusion managers the very
details of my private business affairs
which mado me" unwilling to continue In
office. I accepted, at Mr. Low's personal
request
"Then I was offered an indorsement by
the Democratic party. I did not seek it
I did not bargain, deal or dicker for it I
was not bought, sold or gagged. I made
no concealment of my belief that, If
taken sanely by the Fuslonlsts, such In
dorsement would help Mr. Low. And I
am abused, outraged, expelled. Why? Be
cause I say the campaign should be fought
by argument, by proofs, by appeals- to
reason, not by denunciation, bitter words
and appeals to passion. I shall ask every
taxpayer whose bill this year Is reduced
to remember that It would not have been
less It I had not been Controller.
"As a Democrat, I shall' ask the Demo
crats of this city to notico how this situa
tion has been made at the direction of
Piatt and his intimates, and to say wheth
er this Democratic city shall be thus
turned over to Piatt Tho position of the
Republican machinists and of Mr. Cutting
has become the acme of partisanship.

WHY AIRSHIP FAILED.
Langley Finds a Clutch on Launch
ing: Wnys Did Not Work.
WASHINGTON. Oct 8. Speaking of yes
terday's experiment at WIdewater with his
aerodrome, Professor Langley said today
that he was not an eye-witness of the ex
periment, having been detained In Wash
ington by business, but on the report ,of
Mr. Manley, who was Immediately In
charge; he Is able to say that the tatter's
first Impression that there had been de
fective balancing was corroborated by an
examination, when the clutch which held
the aerodrome on the launching ways, and
which should have released It at the In
stant of the fall, was found to be injured.
Professor Langley continued:
"The machinery was working perfectly
and giving every reason to anticipate a
successful flight, when this accident, due
wholly to the launching ways, drew the
aerodrome abruptly downward at the mo
ment of release, and cast it into tho
water near the houseboat The state
ment that the machine failed for lack of
power to fly was wholly a mistaken one,
"The engine, the frame and all the more
Important parts were practically unin
jured. The engine Is actually In good
working order. The damage done was
confined to the slighter portions, like the
canvas wings and propellers and these
can be readily replaced..
"The belief of those charged with the
experiment In the ultimate successful
working of the machine is In no way af
fected by this accident, which Is one of
the large chapter of accidents that beset
the initial stage of experiments so novel
as the present ones. It is chiefly , un
fortunate as coming near the end of tho
season when outdoor work of this sort Is
possible."

Seattle Gamblers Pro

SATURDAY'S RAID A FARCE
Bean, King of Tenderloin,
Was Showing His Power.
SURE-THiHG MAN IS REWARDED
Clancys Bow Down to the Gambler
Who lias the Pull" With the Pros
ecuting Attorney's Office At
tempt to Hush Up Cases.
TILE REASON OF IT.
Under the act of the last Legisla
ture making gambling a felony, the
houses of Seattle have been closed
for some weeks. With the passage of
time public interest iu the enforce
ment of tho law appeared to subside,
and the gamblers began to make ar
rangements to reopen.
A stand-in with the city adminis
tration had long before been ar
ranged, and the county officers do not
now seem to think It is incumbent
upon them to make trouble for tho
gamblers. So It Isjr that Seattle is
again a wide-open town, ami doubt
less will b! at least, until Mayor
Humes' term expires next Spring.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct 8. (Special.)
Notwithstanding there Is a law in thl3
state which makes gambling a felony,
Seattle gamblers continue to operate open
ly and no serious attempt Is made to in
terfere with them.
Chief of Police Sullivan has given ths
gambera to understand that he will not
move against them, now that tho grand
jury has adjourned and the indictment
against him has been dismissed. Tho
gambllng-houais of the Seattle and Sno
homish saloons, on First Avenue, and. the
Totem sirloon, on Occidental avenue, havo
been operating right along for several
months past, and the Clancys run. a big
place for Japanese at the corner of Fourth
avenue and Main street.
Bean Shovrs His Power.
Last Saturday a raid was made on the
Seattle and Snohomish, but the police did
not take part and the whole affair seems
to havo been a farce. Thb warrants were
Issued In Justice Cann's court, and were
sworn to by a young man who claimed to
have lost several hundred dollars in tho
two places.
As a matter of fact, the arrests wero
mado because Huey Bean, the new king
of tho tenderloin, had not been given an
Interest in tho houses, and served notice
on the proprietors that unless he was
uwieii taiu ut u uuoc-uunu nuuiu xuuuvv.
The gamblers questioned his power, and
refused to put up their money. Their ar
rests followed, and they will be given a
hearing tomorrow before Justice Cann.
Kin? of the Tenderloin.
Bean Is now recognized as the king of
the district below Yesler Way. -He has a
