Jan. 18 The American battleship fleet was join-' ed yesterday in' the harbor of Rio Janeiro by the torpedo boat flotilla, numbering six vessels, which arrived from Pernambuco and anchored near the sixteen big battleships at 3:45 o'clock in the afternoon. The flotilla left. Pernambuco January 13th, and met with good weather on the voyage to this port. Some 'delay was occasioned by the machinery of the Lawrence, but a few hours sufficed to make temporary repairs until the repair boat Panther could make tha work permanent while in port here.

i. There was a little surprise, and not a little amusement among the officers of the battleship fleet, as well as among the people of Rio Janeiro over numerous enquiries cabled here from the United States during the day. asking for information regarding a reported disaster to the battleship Connecticut, Admiral Evans' flagship. At first the enquiries were mystifying to those to whom they were addressed, i4s the rumor ot a mishap to the Connecticut did not originate here and at the time frenzied enquiries were being telegraphed from the United States all the ships of the fleTet were lying peacefully In the harbor in plain view from the shore. Finally it became clear that the rumor of an accident originated in the United States, and having been widely circulated occasioned considerable alarm there.

FUNERALS GO Ofi AT THE RATE OF FIVE EACH HOUR TWENTY BODIES TJNC LAIMED AT BOYERTOWN CORONER, ORDERS ALL TO BE H1 BIED BEFORE NIGHT. (By the United Press.) Boyertown, Jan. 18. Despite the pleas of persons -who lost relatives yet unaccounted for in the terrible disaster of Monday night, for a little mot-e time for identifications. Coroner Strasser today remained firm In his ediet that all the vhjdentified must be buried before There are still twenty bodies at the morgues unclaimed, and it is probable, In view of the Coroner's ruling, that all will be consigned to one huge trench, 4ln Falrview Cemetery this afternoon.

Strausser holds that the safety of the living requires the burial of the victims withaut delay; and he has appealed to the authorities to sustain his stand. At the rate of five an hour the funerals of other victims were conducted today. One of the saddest sights of the whole horror occurred today when three Boyertown girls and their two cousins were buried together. All last night workmen toiled in the cemeteries digging graves. Fifty hearses have been Imported for the day from Pu'stown and Reading and with an extra force of undertakers on the ground, it is believed all the Interments can be hurried through today.

FRANK BIRTCH IS SENTENCED Attempt of Attorney Moore to Save Young Man from Prison Is Unsuccessful. The final attempt to save young Frank Birtch from prison, made by Attorney Guy B. Moore yesterday morning, was unavailing. In County Court this morning Judge Taylor announced that he had decided to refuse the motion for a new trial which the attorney pleaded for so strongly. Judge Taylor Imposed upon Birtch an Indeterminate sentence of not less than two years or more than four years and six months in Auburn Prison at hard labor.

Birtch was convicted for an attempted assault on Mrs. Mary Kiefer of Gardenville. In pronouncing Judge. Taylor made no comment further than to remark on the seriousness of the crime. Hirtch heard his fate without a change of expression.

Evidently he was expecting a severe sentence. Mr. Moore was not in the courtroom when Birtch was sentenced. Attorney John F. McGee made a brief plea for leniency.

The detectives watched his actions for half an hour, and then locked him up at Police Headquarters as a suspect. His name and place of residence are not known to the police. Worst Unpopular with opinion in which China would hare sure- to have yielded a few years ago. If the matter of the Ilsin-MIn-Tun Rail-, road fails to start trouble It appears certain that the Middle Island controversy England will do all in its power, ot course, to prevent fighting between net ally and the Chinese.

Her own capital is so heavily interested in the railroad project, however, that the strongest pressure is sure to be brought on Downing Street to give the Chinese a fr hand. Czar Concerned. Kxcept that he enjoys seeing tha Mikado in any kind of difficulty, th Czar has no interest in the railroad dis. riute. He has a direct interest, however, the Middle Island tangle.

The district is too near Russian territory to be pleasant, for one thing, and it strategic Importance In the defense o' Vladivostok Is great. The Chinese insist that the territory belongs to them. Professing that It was Corea's, and passed to the Mikado with the latter country, the Japaneoo are steadily strengthening it. setting boundary stones and pushing troop? across as fast as they can. itu.ssia is aid to have conveyed to tha Chinese court, through Indirect channels, that the Czan's influence may be counted on in resisting these aggressions and tha exchange of an ultimatum between th islanders and -the Celestial Kingdoi would give no surprise at any time.

Chinese Order Guns. The placing of a Chinese order In Pari yesterday for a hurry-up order of quick firing guns continues to cause a good deal of gossip, though it may be the arm are wanted solely for police prposes. ir England the opinion is steadily growina that the islanders are soon going to prov. highly undesirable allies. The press is quite outspoken In saying so.

Noc only has there been much of- flclal dissatisfaction with tha Mikado's attitude in recent negotiations, but it felt that the Japanese attitude toward England is becoming almost openly un friendly and defiant. NEW POLICE COORT TO OPEN MONDAY Things were not quite in readioass for the intended opening of the new Police Court yesterday morning, in the building at the northeast corner of Washington and Mohawk streets.

"I cannot understand why such a canard could be reported, we are work- a small force of men at the big plant, and at the present time No. 4 Mill, where the explosion is reported to have happened, is closed down. The fires are out at the mill and there was no chance of an accident happening there. It looks as if someone started the fats rumor of the exoloelon.

Japan Is get-I ting into deeper water daily. Englishmen are not trying to conceal the fact In -private conversations, that they do not see how she Is going to get out. Perhaps no Government was ever menaced from so many sides at once at least, not by really formidable foes. Internally, the country's financial condition is something the like of which -has never been seen before. There is not exactly a panic, because everyone was already so poor that that there was nothing they could fear In the way of additional loss.

Ministry May- Fall. Last week's -meeting of the parlimentary leaders to analyze the budget probably insures the entire Ministry's fall, however, and an apoeai to the country will -certainly mean a political if not a financial shaking up of the most radical kind. After that are surf to come years and years of th most grinding, pinching economy to prevent national bankruptcy, and It is noc quite sure that even economy can prevent it. Th parliamentary leaders, too, accuse the Government of so juggling the budget that only an accountant can understand it. They say the estimated expenditures are correctly given, bt that estimated Seventies are placed many per cent, above their present total, amounting to a heavy Increase in the taxation Tate.

(By the United Press.) t.

Petersburg, Jan. 18. Gen. Stoes-sel turned his heaviest artllery today on the St. Petersburg strategists whom he accuses of responsibility for the loss of Port Arthur.

Stoessel's enemies seemed to be making out an overwhelming case aaginst him during the early part of the hearing. It Is generally believed that the court intended to smother the evidence for the defense and sacrifice Stoessel to prevent a scandal in the War Office. By sending a friend, however, to protest directly to the Czar against the unfairness with which he said he was being treated, Stoessel completely upset this plan. Gen. Stroukoff.

the Imperial aide-de-camp whom His Majesty immediately sent to the courtroom still remains there and reports faithfully to his master every word said on either side. Having already got before the tribunal the testimony of numbers of military experts that Port Arthur could not have been defended more than three or four days beyond the date of its surrender, Stoessel is turning his attention today to the character of the defenses placed at his disposal. Through his own and his officers stories, it 'Is said, he means to prove that the fortress was undermanned, un-' deitarmed, under-provisioned and so poorly guarded by its sea defenders that it was a wonder he was able to hold it as loivr even as he did. These conditions will be laid to those who should have provided In advance for the city's defense. It will be plainily intimated that, but for gross misman agement and dishonesty, Stoessel couid have continued his defense indefinitely.
