FORCE MUST BE INCREASED While It Is Inevitable That Many Lives Will Be Lost, It Is Realized That Waters Are Too Dan gerous for the Fleet. CHICAGO, May 20. A special to the Dally News from Toklo says: Port Arthur Is to be taken by storm the moment proper preparations have been completed. Siege suns have yet to be placed la position, and the land forces ap pointed for the assault have to be strengthened. The unexpected loss of two fighting vessels has emphasized the Inse curity of sea power, and the authorities feel that no chances must be taken that would encourage Russia to send out the Baltic fleet counting on finding a harbor of refuge In Port Arthur. It Is realized that the storming of the fortress will Inevitably cost many lives, but it is said that the waters where the Japanese ships are forced to maneuver are becoming so dangerous, because of float ing mines, that heroic measures are im perative. Under these clrcumstanies. It Is thought that life will be economized by etormlng the stronghold and eliminating It and the adjacent waters from the area of actual conflict. TORPEDO-BOATS DRIVEN BACK Sinking of Japanese Battleship Made , Signal for Them to Go Out. ST. PETERSBURG, May 20. Grand Duke Alexander has received the sub Joined dispatch under today's date from Viceroy Alexleff : "The following report by mall from Rear-Admlral Wittsoeft, in command of the naval forces at Port Arthur, was received on the night of May 19-20: "Three of the enemy's battleships and three cruisers appeared to the east on the morning of May IB. Their move ments were watched from Llao Tlshan and Golden HilL After crossing the Meridian of Port Arthur, th's squadron turned eastward and appeared to be 0etting int6 battle formation. Then an explosion was observed under the third battleship, which was of the Fuji type. The vessel stopped, heeled over to star board and began to sink by the bow, sending up a quantity of steam. "Two cruisers approached, and it was observed from Golden Hill that they lowered boats, after which the battle ship gradually righted herself and ap peared to recover from her injury. "'At that minute, another three-fun-neled battleship of the Shlklshlma type approached the scene of the accident, and a mine exploded under her mid ship section causing a similar explosion to that occurring in the case of the bat tleship Petropavlovsk. In the course of one minute she sank. " 'The third Ironclad put to sea, the cruisers remaining on the scene of the disaster. "I sent 16 torpedo-boats to harass the enemy, and should a favorable op portunity present Itself, to attack the ships separately. " 'The cruiser Novik went out to the 'passage In order, If necessary, to sup port the torpedo-boats, but the cruisers got up steam at this instance and drew in toward the shore. " 'The Japanese cruisers opened fire with all their heavy guns on our tor pedo-boats, but the latter returned to port without loss. " 'The damaged Ironclad then disap peared below the horizon with her at tendant cruisers, escaping from the pursuit of our floot. " 'In the meantime night had fallen, the wind had freshened and there -was a rough sea. "'On the morning of May 16 three torpedo-boats approached the scene of the disaster. I sent the Novik against them and they put out to sea. " 'The ship which blew up In Dalny was evidently a cruiser. Judging by her funnels and fighting tops, which are visible at low water. " 'According to reports received from the coast, three torpedo-boats covering an attempted landing In Kerr Bay by Dalny were damaged by our light ar tillery.' " HATSUSE STRUCK TWO MINES. Togo Reports That the First Time Only Her Rudder Was Damaged. TOKIO, May 20. VIce-Admlral Togo's report is as follows: "It is regrettable to have to report a third misfortune. At 5 o'clock Sunday morning I received a wireless message from Rear-Admiral Dew a, saying that on that day at 6 In the morning, while returning from the work of blocking Port Arthur, he encountered a dense fog north of the Shan Tung promontory. The Kasaga collided with the- port stern of the Yoshlno. striking her on the port stern, and the latter sank. Boats from the Kasaga saved 90 of her crew. The derse fbg still continues. "This was a most unfortunate day for our navy. "While the fleet was watching the enemy off Port Arthur the battleship Hatsuso struck an enemy's mine and her rudder was damaged. She sent a message for a ship to come and tow her. This lessel was going In when another message brought the lamentable report that the Hatsuse had struck another mine and Immediately sank. She was then 10 knots off the Llao Tie Shan promontory, and no enemy "was In sight. She must hae struck a mine or been attacked by n submarine boat. Three hundred of her officers and crew were saed. She sank In 30 minutes. ""While she was sinking 16 of the en emy's torpedo craft appeared, but they were drhen off by our fleet" Vice-Admiral Togo's report as It was recehed here is somewhat ague in places, on account of the fact that It was transmitted by wireless telegraphy.

It Is evi dent that great exaggerations of the. tragedy have been spread throughout Europe. The question Is much mooted by foreign observers, whether Russia was warranted in placing mines in a maritime fairway like the Gulf of Pechlll, to which the world's mercantile fleets have lawful access.

Element of Weakness. A leading Tammany Democrat who ana- Ijzed these figures carefully declared that he saw In them a great element of weak ness. "Parker's strength will all develop on the first ballot," he said, "and then he will get weaker. Besides that, he Is claim ing a number of states which he probably will not get. For example, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are not for Parker. Those two states are simply anti-Hearst and are bound by the unit rule, so Guffey of Pennsjlvanla and James Smith, Jr., and Bob Davis will be able to throw them any way they see fit. Those men are against Parker at present because they believe It would mean a bitter factional fight In New York State. That makes 92 votes, and It Isn't necessary to analyze the fig ures any further, for the loss of those two states would bring the Parker men below the necessary two-thirds, even takinsr their own clalmj as a basis to figure on."

Suit of Harriman Similar to First Against Hill on in New Jersey. NEWARK, N. J., May 20 The case of E. H. Harriman and Winslow 3. Pleroe against the Northern Securities Company and that of the Northern Pacific Railroad, being a petition for an Injunction to pre vent the carrying out of the plan for the distribution of railroad stocks held by the Securities Company, was called before United States Judge Bradford today. This suit Is similar to one- heretofore dismissed by the United States Circuit Justices at St. Paul, the "Northern Pa cific, however, having been made a co-defendant In the present action. Neither Mr. Harriman nor President Hill, of the Northern Securities Company, was present when the case was called Attorney Thatcher was present, repre senting the Oregon Short LJne bondhold ers, to protest against the suit on the ground that the trustees of that line, who had been named In the petition, had no right to Interfere with the plan for distri bution of the Northern Securities assets, the bondholders insisting that the plan proposed was perfectly just and equitable. Argument was about to begin, when Attorney Thatcher petitioned the court to be heard. He said he did not want to ask to intervene at this stage of the proceedings, or to be placed on the record as one of the litigants. His client, he said, simply wanted the court to hear his views. Mr. Lindabury held that the request should not be granted unless the petition er was willing to go on the records. Judge Bradford said that while the action might be a little Irregular, he would grant the request, his object being solely to get at all the facts In the case. Mr. Thatcher said It would take about 40 minutes to present his views and the court said he would be heard later. Mr. Lindabury opened for the plaintiff. He 'argued that the Northern Securities Company was never properly In posses sion of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern stocks, because It obtained them In a manner which the courts had declared to be illegal. Mr. Lindabury said the Oregon Short Line had acquired $78,000,000 of the $155,000,000 of the stock of the Northern Pacific, or a majority of the whole. But of this stock only $37,000,000 was com mon, while the full issue of common stock was $80,000,000. Under the charter of the Northern Pacific, It was later learned, the common stock. In the mean time, notified Mr. Harriman and the Ore gon Short Line Company that It pro posed to retire the preferred stock and Issue common In its place, but that no holder of the preferred stock would be allowed to subscribe for the new Issue of tho common stock. At the same time Morgan and Hill announced that they were about to organize the Northern Se curities Company, and that Harriman and the Oregon Short Line people could put their stock of the Northern Pacific Into the new corporation on the same basis as Morgan and Hill were putting in theirs Mr. Landabury said that his clients were thus forced. Into the combi nation. He declared they had nothing to do with the organization of it, and they alleged that now they have a right to their stock deposited. Echo of Great Wheat Deal. NEW YORK, May 20 Echoes of the famous "Cincinnati wheat deal," of nearly 20 years ago, have been awakened by a Judgment for $150,104 entered here against Edward L. Harper, head of that disas trous speculation, and at that time bank president. Harper was sent to the peni tentiary for ten years on 33 Indictments by Judge Sage, In the United States Court In Cincinnati, December 12, 187 The Judgment Just entered here Is in favor of John V. Lewis, of Cincinnati, on six notes, made by Joseph r El Wilshlre, of that city, and which were endorsed by Harper. ' The acUon was tried recently when at torneys for Lewis declared that Harper received- the notes during the wheat deal with the understanding that they were not to be negoUated, but Harper heard that Lewis carried a dally balance of about $300,000 In a New York bank, and got the money from that Institution. Lewis settled with the latter and sought to recoup himself in the courts. Harper is said to be now connected with a steel company, with offices in New York. Decision of Court Upsets 'Change. NEW YORK, May 20. A ruling by Judge Holt, of the United States District Court, directing a member of the New York Stock Exchange to sell his seat for the benefit of creditors, has upset all pre cedents of the exchange. The ruling was made in the case of Edward. Sanford Hatch, of the firm of Hurlburt, Hatch & Co., against whom a petlUon In bankruptcy was filed In August last. Their UablliUes were $175,000 and assets about $34,000. exclusive of Hatch's seat on the exchange. The owner of the seat refused to apply It to the assets, and the trustee In bankruptcy petitioned Judge Holt with the above result. An appeal will be taken to the higher courts, as the matter Is one of great Importance to brokers. Embezzler Taken East. City Marshal William A.
