JAPAN'S VICTORY.


sagemrnt In the Bay Of COrea.
London, Sept. 2O.-Dispatches
received here to day from Shanghai
say that the total number of the
Chinese fleet engaged in the battle
fought off the mouth of Talu Riyer
was twelve war.ships and four tor
pedoes. The japanese fleet, it is
added, was composed of seventeen
ships, some of which were small war
vessels. The Chinese claim to have
sunk the japanese war-ships Abush-
ima and Yossina and Japanese
transport, which had been con verted
into cruiser and named the Saiko.
A private report received here
from Shanghai declares that these
vessels were not sunk, as the Chinese
claim, but that they retired from the
action in disabled condition
1t is reported that the Chinese
transport Toonan was sunk after she
had landed her troops, but this is
thought to be probably incorrect.
The Westminster Gazette" this
afternoon comments upon the battle
and says: 1--WE observe, speaking
generally, that both sides were en-
gagged in verifying the theories Of
Capt. Mahan, the japanese, consci-
ously, as they are great students of
that eminent authority, and the
Chinese unwittingly, and, it may be
fairly supposed, reluctantly. The
Chinese have the biggest navy, but
they haye been unable to concentrate
it upon points of paramount STRAIT
egic Importance. So far the war has
turned out az, according to the most
approved principles, it ought TO
have turned out"
The "Pall Mall Gazette' remarks:
Admiral Ting made the fatal mis-
take of trying to convey troops be.
fore he had met and broken the
enemy's fleet, and unless the troops
landed at the Yalu River are relieved
from the sea they are irretrievably
lost
The "St. James Gazette says: If
this is victory for the Chinese they
must pray for defeat. The damage
which the japanese inflicted with
their smaller and lighter squadron
goes far to show that in tactics, dis
cipline and the handling of modern
weapons they are as much superior
to the Chinese at sea as they have
already shown themselves to be or
land"
Yokohama, Sept. 20-The particu
lars received here regarding the
battle of Ping Yang show that the
Chinese loss was 2000 killed anG
14,500 wounded and captured. A
fourth part of the Chinese army es

negro as being the guilty party. 1t

the negro's house and give him severe
beating. The mob was organized and
Wednesday night they cautiously ap-
preached the cabin Of the negro and
attempted TO take him by surprise.
He heard them coming, however, and
prepared to meet them. Just as the
men appeared in front of the house the
negro threw up the window and thrust
adouble barreled shot gun through the
opening blaz9d away. One man,
named Roberts, an employe, was killed
outright and a son Of the proprietor,
Mr.. Reed, was badly wounded. After
firing the negro attempted to escape,
hut he was twice wounded and was
finally captured. Yesterday morning
his body was found hanging to a tree

FINISHING TOUCHES ON PLATES
The experts OF the bureau Of printing
and engraving are engaged in putting
the finishing touches upon the plates
from which the new issue of bonds will
he printed. When eXSecretary
Charles Foster was contemplating q
bond issue shortly before the close OF
the Harrison administration he ordered
plates to be- engraved, and these will be
used for the forthcoming bonds. They
were nearly finished before Mar. 4, 1898
and more work was done upon them
early in the Cleveland administration.
Since then they have been stored away
in the bureau against such conting-
ency AS Secretary CarliSle's order of
Wednesday. 1t is necessary to change
the dates on the plates iand to make
other alterations in the script on the
body of the bonds, but otherwise the
designs ordered hy Secretary Foster
will be used. They DO not differ ma.
terially from tho patterns of former
bond issues. At the bottom will be a
foot note stating that they are issued
under the act of Jan. A. 1875
The report that Will II. Low, the
well.known New York artist, who was
recently appointed to position in the
department by Secretary Carlisle at q
rating Of $4,000 per snnum, was en-.
gagged to design the bonds, is contra
dcted by Mr. Claude Johnson, the
chief of the bureau. Chief johnson
said today that the first batch of bonds
will be printed next week. but the day
of their appearance or other details, he
said; had not been decided.
The resolution denying the authority
of the secretary OF the treasury to issus
bonds for any other purpose than the
redemption of the greenbacks, intro.
duced by Mr. Bailey and reported
favorably by the sub committee, was
discussed in the house judiciary com
mittes today at some length, and
further consideration was then post
poned until next Wednesday, the reg
ular meeting day of tbe committee.
Mr.. Carlisle is to be invited before
the committee at that time to explain
his decision. There is little doubt that
a majority of the committee disbelieve
in Mr.. Carlisle's authority to issu
bonds, but there is no probability o
action by the house on the subjec
even should the committee report tn
resolutions favorably, thing which il
itself is doubtful.
