TAOTAI SHUNG A. FUGITIVE.

High Official of China Found to Have
Furnished War News to the Mikado.
Shanghai, Oct. LIT is reported that
the Taotai Shung, chief magistrate of the
district, has left Tien Tsin As it has
been reported that Shung was implicated
with others in furnishing informa ton to
Japan of the movements of the Chinese
forces on land and sea, it is now believed
that the fugitive TaOtai Will be unable to
render additional assistance to- the enemy
Nothing Is actually known of the deS>
tnatlOn OF the TaOt2i of Tien Tsin, but
1t is believed that his Japanese friends,
have succeeded in smuggling him to some
place OF safety from which he will short
ly escape to japanese territory. 1t is
said that the TaOtai is not the only Chi
nese official implicated in furnishing i'm
portant war news to- Japan.
TaOtai Shung is believed to, have been
the person who has kept the japanese
so well Informed of the movements of
Chinese ships in the past, and it is said
that it was he that notified the agents
OF Japan Of the KOw Shing expedition
which resulted in the sinking of that
transport and the drowning of over 1000
Chinese soldiers

that the nature of their operations are

1t has already been reported that the
Japanese have effected landing to the

MARCH ON THE CAPITAL.
Mikaclo's Forces Meet and Defeat
the Opposing Army in
Battle.

London, Sept. 2S.-A dispatch from
Shanghai says that it is reported there
that the japanese have succeeded III en-
terlng the Chinese province of Manchu-
ria ana that they are advancing upon
the capltal at MOukden. It is also said
that hghtlng has also taken place be-
tween the invaders and the Chinese at
a town between that city and the from
tier. The engagement is said to have
ended IN decisive victory for the Jan
anese, who, it is added, established them
selves IN the position previously occupied
by the Chinese troops. No details of
this reported battle are given and the
Chinese at Shanghai discredit the report.
London, Sept. 28.-A dispatch from
Paris to the Exchange Telegraph COM
pany says its correspondent there learns
on the best authority that in July last a
provisional agreement was effected be-
tween Russia and China in regard to the
future action of Russia in the Pamirs.
1t is agreed by the two countries that the
forces OF neither power shall pass the
oafrlkIlt range. This agreement re-estab-
fishes friendly relations between Russia
anu emma, and has an important bearing
upon the fortunes of China in the pres
ent struggle. Russia, however, the dis
patch adds, IS not likely to maintain a
friendly attitude towards China without
substantial returns.
Washington, D. c., Sept 2S.-At the
Japanese legation today no official con-
firmation of the reported Japanese inva-
sion OF Manchuria and the reported deci-
sive victory of the japanese near Monk
den, the capital of the Chinese province,
could be obtained, but the reports were
credited. 1t was pointed out by the jap
anese that an invasion of Manchuria
would be direct result of the Japanese
victory at Ping Yang, and the diplomats
at the legation were willing to credit the
news of repetition of the triumph Of
the soldiers of the Mikado in the new
territory. The report from Paris of a
provisional agreement between Russia
and China, said to have been effected in
July, by which Russia agreed not to cross
the Sarr1kut range, was regarded as pos
slble IT not probable at the Japanese lega-
ton, although the fact Of its having been
Kept so long secret was believed to mill
tate against its authenticity. 1t was
pointed out, however, that such an agree
ment made just as the trouble between
China and Japan was being precipitated
had no bearing on the struggle, and was
probably simply a provisional settlement
OF the Pamlrian question, which has long
been a bone of contention for the diplo-
mats OF the Chinese Emperor and the
Gar. The Pamirian table lands, inhab-
tied by the Tartars. lie on the northwest

Paris, Oct. 1.-The Figaro says that
NJ. De Gratis, the French ambassador at

DUELISTS GO TO PRISON.
German Editor and Politician Sentenced
to Four Months fmprisonment.

Berlin, Oct. Herr Won Kinderlen-
Wachter Prussian minister to Hamburg
and Herr PotsdOrf. editor of the Klad-
deradatsch. have been condemned to four
months imprisonment in 4 fortress for
fighting Il duel
The duel between Herr Won Kiderlen-
Wachter and Herr Potsdorf was fought
with pistols near Berlin on April 49, Five
shots were fired and Herr Potsdorf was
wounded in the arm. The cause of the en-
counter was an alleged libel upon Herr
Won kiderlen, then chief of the press
department Of the foreign office. which
Herr PotsdOrf allowed to be published in
the hIadderadatsch, comic paper which
became notorious for its attacks upOH Ger
tain employees of the government.
The duel ruined the political prospects
of Won kiderlen, as his action in this mat
ter was only justified by a military clique
on the ground that the attacks of the
Kladderadatsch could not be endured BY
man of honor. Emperor William, how
ever, did not take this view of the case,
although Won kiderien was for q long
time one of His Majesty's close friends.
The kladderadatsch alleged, but newer
proved conclusively, that Herr Won Kid
erlen and Herr Won Holstein fostered the
ill-feeling between the Emperor and
Prince Bismarck. Won Kiderlen especial
ly is said TO have used his position as
chief OF the press department. of the for
elgn office tG further his own ends. even
to the extent of trying to bully Chancellor
Won CapriyI, and it was reported at the
time that Il person closely acquainted with
the workings of the office became so dis
gusted with Won Kiderlen's dictatorship.
that he diyulged all he knew to the pro
prietors of the kladderadatsch But the
sensation reeuiled upon the newspaper
mentioned, fer when its editors: were
asked to furnish proof of their accusa-
tons their informer. fearing to cornpro-
mise himself. remained silent, and Herr
POtsd0rf Was made to suffer the conse-
@uences.
Since the fall from power of Gen. Count
Won Waldersee there had been no such
collapse as the tumble of Won Kilerlen
from the Emperor's favor TO the position
IN which he found himself after the duel
-frowned upon by his imperial majesty
aHd former friend. who soon after the
news of the encounter became public al
lowed it to become known that the fallen
fayorite would have to suffer the full
penalty for breaking the laws This was
admitted to be Il fact in April last but
ttGA sentences were only announced today.

Shanghai, Oct 1.-Dispatches received

vices have reached the latter city from
