BATTLE IN AFRICA.
Dahomey's King Defeated in 4
Hot Engagement.

PARIS, Oct. 8.-Col. Dodd, the
commander of the French forces Oper-
ating against King Behanzin of Daho-
mey, has telegaphed to the Minister
of Marine giving an account of bat
tie between his command and the Da-
homeyanes ON Oct. 4. The dispatches
announced yesterday that Col. Dodd
had crossed the River Oueme on Sun
day last and had encamped in the face
of the enemy. The French were them
making preparations to attack the
natives. Col. Dodd stated in his Of
fetal dispatch that the attack was
made on Tuesday October 4. The
day proceeding was entirely de-
voted to opening a road through the
forest surrounding Gabede, the place
where the engagement took place, and
the French were thus enabled to ex-
ecute flank movement against the
natives and deploy their forces before
the DahOmeyans were able to attack
them. The natives occupied a strong
position and desperate fight followed
the attack by the French. A thick
bushwOod surrounded the Dahomey-
ans position, and this afforded some
protection to the attacking forces.
The battle lasted for an hour, at
the end of which time the Dahomey-
ans fled in disorder and were pursued
by the French. The natives, how
ever, were thoroughly familiar with
the country and found little difficulty
in making their escape, but few Of
them falling capitives to their pur-
suers.
During the fight five Europeans
and three Senegalese were killed, and
twenty-three Europeans and thirteen
natives wounded. The enemy's loss
is unknown, but they left on the field
200 dead, including twenty of King
Behanzin's famous Amazons. These
bodies were all counted within ten
yards of the French lines. A judg-
ment can thus be formed of the brav-
cry with which the Dahomeyans fight.
Two hundred repeating rifles were
found on the field. This fact will add
to the grievance France has against
Germany, for France claims that
King Behanzin, besides the 1900
rifles allowed him by treaty, has an
almost equal number of Winchesten
and other repeating rifles that have
been furnished him by German
traders. 1t is known that he has .
large supply Of ammunition, and that
it was landed in Dahomey from two
German ships.
As result of this last battle, Col.
Dodd will be able to turn the DahO-
meyans position and destroy their
defenses.

been telling the police about the
naughty deeds of his fellow country
men, who are not Christian" is sud-
denly and mysteriously missing.
One day last week Ju Ling,
who doesn't 60 to Sunday school and
thinks Charley Ford and the 'Melican
gals" who help him, no good, got mad
with Lee Bling and banged him on the
head with a piece of iron. Lee ran
and yelled for the police and the san
culinary Ling was arrested. He was
released on bail and now Lee Bing,
who Is wanted to appear against him
cannot be found. The christian
Chinese say the "highbinders" have
killed him. The police say he has
run of. He's gone anyhow and a
good radiance, for bad as is the
"Heathen Chinee" the Christian
Chinee is worse. He has the vices of
the pagan and the guile of the hypo-
critic.
THE AWFUL HISTORY
of the "Devils Shadow" comes from
north st. Louis. Several years ago
a young man named Arthur King,
was injured about the head. He re-
covered partially, but ever since has
shown a brutal property for assault
ing girls of tender age. He has served
a term in the penitentiary for the
crime and has been arrested time and
again. Within the past week or two
he was particularly offensive. running
after small girls and maltreating them.
He is now under arrest with four
charges of attempted assault against
him. 1t is a singular fact that King
has always haunted certain district
in North St. Louis. His foul propen-
stiles have gained him the name of the
Devils Shadow
The political pct is boiling furiously

week, however, the local tickets will
have been selected and then--wilI come
the tug of war, which in 81. Louis
City is going to be nip and tuck.
Under ordinary circumstances the

We are not saddled with men

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. S.-There
was all interesting conference some
days ago at Mayor Stuart's private
residence. After the meeting had adj
justed itself to business it was an
nOunced that the national campaign
committee required exactly $1,000
600 for campaign purposes, and that
Philadelphia was expected to contrib
ute literally to the fund. 1t was nee
essary to begin work without delay
and report the amount sub
scribed before the close of the pres
ent week. After a somewhat
protracted deliberation the delicate
task of soliciting the money was as
signed to Joseph B. Altemus, a con-
spicuOus member of the firm of Coffin,
Altemus 4 Co., prominent in whole
sale dry goods circles. Mr.. Altemus
at once sailed forth upon the field of
conquest. Drexel & Co. subscribed
$4,000, "Ham" Disston so, 900,
Postmaster General Wannamaker
$4,000, John and James Dobson,
$4,000. There is another $40, 900
subscribed whose name j did not OBJ
tain. Coffin, Altemus 4 Co. pledged
$4,000, as did Strawbridee, the clotheir.
One firm has conditionally subscribed
$500, 900, while another company has
pledged $50, 200. Much of this
money will be used in New York.
