THE JAPANESE VICTORY.
It Wa More Complete Tha Was at First
Reported.


Reported.
LONDON, Sept. ia dispatch re-
ceived here from Ping Yang, Korea,
says that every hour adds to the crush
ing character of the Chinese defeat. It
is added that the first estimates were
slightly under the actual facts and the
total Of the Chinese losses during the
two days battle is now said to be over
$1,000 men, killed.. wounded and pris-
oners. The Japanese cavalry is contin-
uing the pursuit of the Chinese who
succeeded in escaping, and detachments
of troopers continue bringing in squads
of captured Chinese.
The Chinese prisoners who were not
wounded were paraded in a circle of
Japanese troops and it was seen that
they numbered ID, 500. It is probable,
however, that this number will be in
creased within the next few days by the
prisoners who are being constantly
brought in by the Japanese cavalry.
Many Of the Chinese captured were
found hiding in the quiet portions Of
the city.
Over Two Thousand Killed.
It is now stated that the total mum
Der Of killed will not exceed 1890.
The remainder of the Chinese army,
some 10000 men, are either wounded
and in the hands Of the Japanese, or are
unhurt prisoners of war.
The emperor Of Japan has t%elegraphed
congratulating the field marshal upon
the victory he has achieved we the
enemy. The field marshal has
issued an order in which he commends
the troops for their action.
The dispatch says the Chinese out
numbered the Japanese three to one.
The artillery was vastly superior to that
of the Chinese. The Japanese flying
column is now pushing northward for
the purpose Of securing the passes and
thus preventing the Chinese army from
marching within Korea.

NEW YORK POLITICS.
The Republican Convention at Sara
toga Organizes Temporarily and
Takes a Recess
OF THE PLATFORM.
Governor Flower Declines to Be a
Candidate For denomination.
His Reasons.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 19.--The
state Republican convention called to
a full state ticket, was raped
to order here at 1910 p. m. Hon. Lem
uel Eli Quigg Of New York city, was
made temporary chairman.
DR.. Carey Of Saratoga offered prayer,
at the conclusion Of which Temporary
Chairman Quigg began his address,
which was frequently interrupted with
applause. He arraigned the Democratic
party for the passage Of the new tariff
bill and the income tax, and denounced
the machine Democracy Of New York
city. He said the outlook for the Re
publican party in the coming election
was most encouraging.
During Mr.. Quigg's speech, his sallies
at Tammany Hall and the Democratic
party were heartily applauded. He said
that Senator Hill was the only man in
the Democratic party which was faith
full to his trust, at which there was a
burst of applause. During the address
Mr.. Quigg read a dispatch announcing
that Governor Flower had declined to
be a candidate for governor. There
were cries of "Good," "Good," and
applause, and cheers. Members of the
convention expressed the greatest sur.
prise at Governor Flowers action.
The usual committees were appointed,
their chairmen being as follows:
C%redentials. William A. Sutherland;
permanent organization, Cornelius Van
Colt; resolutions, s. S. Payne.
Messrs. Kenyon, Fox and Gleason.
were appointed secretaries, and at 1886
the convention took a recess until 4:SO.
What the Platform VIII Be.
The platform will stand by bimetal-
ism. It will condemn the attack on
American industries in the tariff bill,
and its purpose Of fostering the South
and spelling the commercial industries
Of the North, and it will condemn the
broken Democratic promises and point
out .'the retrenchment the Republicans
have brought about"
Referring to the income tax, it will
say that it is a rabid and un-American
measure, violating personal rights and
putting a blemish OF our claim to lead
the world in our liberal, free govern
ment. It will say that the Democrats
opposed what they calleda "force bill,''
v%illifed it in every possible manner,
and have now enacted a force bill
Of their own, authorizing federal
officers to pry into peoples private af-
fairs. Relating to the American Pro-
tective association, they point to the
constitutional provision which permits
the free exercise and enjoyment of re.
ligious profession and worship, without
discrimination or preference, and rec.
ommend its being strictly followed.
As to the work Of the constitutional
convention, they indorse the movement
to divorce national and state. politics
from municipal, SO that a man may e Z.
press his will in regard to city govern.

the political issues Of the day.

A NIECE OF WAGNER.

Johanna Wagner, once a great singer,
and the bone of contention in the great
leading case of Lumley VS.. Gye, has just
died. In 1852 she was prima-donna at Ber-
lin and was engaged by Lumley for Her
Majesty's Theatre. Gye subsequently
offered her higher terms to sing at Cow
ent Garden, which she accepted. Lum-
ley secured an Injunction and asked for
100000 damages. He won his case, but
got no damages, though public feeling
was so strongly with him that Fraulein
Wagner vas not permitted to sing at all.
She was a niece of Richard Wagner,
and created the part OF Elizabeth in
'..Tannhauser," in 1s45. From 1850 to 1861
she was first soprano at Berlin. She then
suddenly lost her voice, but studied for
the stage, and for eleven years took the
tragic parts at the Hof Theatre, retiring
in 1872.
hen her singing voice came back; she
sang the contralto part in Beethoven's
chorus symphony at the laying of the
CORNER stone Of the Bayreuth Opera
House. and infS76 sang the part of one of
the Valkyries at the first performance of
the Ring des Nibelungen.'
The range of hervoice was wonderful,
being both soprano inc contralto, and
was inherited from her mother, Elise
Goldman, who had a compass of three
octaves and w notes, and sang on al
''Tancredi'' and Mozart's Queen of the
Night" Fraulein Wagner had married
Herr Jackmann and was siXty-six years
old when she died.

THIEVES IN THE FIRST.
Captain Farrier,s Precinct Invaded
By Safe

Thieves effected an entrance INTO the
office of MoHugh & McNamee's soda
factory, at Henderson and First street,
this morning and blew open the outer
door of the safe with powder. The noise
of the explosion evidently frightened them
off, as no effort was made to open the
inner door or to steal a small sum of
money and some valuable papers which
were in the safe.
The attempted burglary was reported
to Captain Farrier this morning. An
investigation was at once made, but no
trace of the men could be found. The
cracksmen were amateurs, as the work
was lone in a bungling manner. A
small file left behind by the burglars is
in the possession of the police. There
Is a suspicion in the minds of the police
that some one who is familiar with the
office is implicated in the cracking of the
safe.

was sent Jack to the board for correc-
ton and inspection. They were returned

near $500 each to be desirable. The prin-
cipal objection was that in one or two
instances one man had as many as 6
half dozen claims in, all within a few dol.
lars of $500. Not many weeks ago severa
claims ordered paid by the Street and
Water Board were returned by the Fin
