WASHINGTON, July s5.-Mr. Tateno,
japanese minister here, yesterday re-
ceived cablegram from his govern
ment saying that Corean troops had
made an uncalled for attack upon the
Japanese soldiers stationed at Seoul,
the capital, and that their fire had been
returned by the Japanese troops, with
what result on either side the dispatch
does not say.
NAGAsAKI, July 25.-Advices from
Seoul state that battle has been fought
there between Corean and Japanese
troops, in which the Coreans were re-
pulsed with considerable loss. The
Corean troops, together with some
Chinese soldiers, made an attack upon
the Japanese garrison at the Corean
capital and attempted to take the Japa-
nese position by storm. A sharp fight
ensued, but the Japanese fire was more
than the attacking party could stand
and they were compelled to retire. The
assault upon the japanese garrison was
made at the instance of the Chinese
minister at Seoul.

The nahs Trial.

CHICAGO, July 25.-The arguments on
the admission of testimony in the con-
tempt case against Messrs. Debs, How
ard, Keliher and Rogers, Of the A. R..
u, were concluded yesterday and
Judges Grosscup and Woods decided
that the sworn answer of the defend
ants was not conclusive and that testi-
mony was admissible.
Attorney Erwin, for the defense,
made a long argument during the
morning, claiming that the defendants
answer to the bill of complaint was final
and that no testimony should be ad-
mitted Mr.. Erwin further pleaded
that the information in the bill was
vague, incomplete and insufficient and
was such as should not be even recog-
nized by the court.
Mr.. Bancroft, attorney for the Santa
Fe railroad, spoke in behalf of the gov
ernment at the close of Mr.. Erwin's re-
marks. His aim was to show that tes.
timony was admissible and he cited
many decisions to uphold his position,

An Uprising at Tracy City, Tenn.-A Dep
uty Warden and One Convict KIlled-Sev-
eral Wounded.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July y2s.-Convicts
at Tracy City are in state of mutiny
and as result two men are dead and
two others are suffering from slight
wounds. Yesterday afternoon the
convicts loaded pipe with explosives,
placed it in coal car and attached a
slow fuse to it. Deputy Warden Nel-
son and assistants were passing along
another entry to bring the convicts out
for the night, and when they arrived
opposite it the bomb exploded. Nelson
was instantly killed and guards Terrell
and Thurman were slightly wounded.
A negro convict named Pete Hamilton
was killed by volley from the other
guards.
There were one hundred and fifteen
convicts in the mines at the time and
all but seventy surrendered. These re-
mained inside and swear they will not
come out. Nelson was a member of the
last general assembly from Maury
county.

Militia withdrawn.

CHICAGO, July 26.-The protection
of the militia were withdrawn from
the railroad properties, Pullman,
Kensington, Burnside, the stock yards
and other points in Cook county yes
terday with the exception of two com
panies of the Chicago regiments. One
of these will be stationed at Pullman
and the other at the stock yards for an
indefinite period. The preliminary
steps toward the withdrawal of the
two brigades of the Illinois national
guard from the strike-troubled sec
tions of the city were taken Tuesday
by Mayor Hopkins, who sent a tele-
gram to Gov. Altgeld requesting him to
order all but two companies relieved
from further duty, as their presence
was no longer necessary.
The governor replied that he would
order the withdrawal of the forces on
the assurance of the mayor, who asked
for the militia to be sent here, that all
was quiet and likely toremain so as far
as the railroads were concerned. This
news was joyfully received by the mi
litia officers and men, who have done
much unpleasant and Improbable duty
| during the strike.

BUSINESS BAROMETER.
y. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review Of Trade
Uncertainty Regarding the Future
Tenda to Retard Confidence.


d. G. Dun q Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade
--UncertaInty Regarding the Future
Tends to Retard Confidence.
New YORK, July 2s.-R. G. Dun q
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says;
The heavy outgo of gold, the fall ofthe
treasury reserve and the price OF wheat
to the lowest point on record, and the
increasing uncertainty about the tarln
has entirely overshadowed other inhu-
ences. Business delayed for months by
two great strikes now crowds railroads
and swells returns and gives the inn
preston of revival in business. But 1t
is not yet clear how far there is an in
crease in new tariff, distinguished from
that which has been merely blockaded
or delayed. In some branches there
has been more activity, but in others
less, because events early this week led
many to infer that no change OF tariff
would be made.
The internal revenue receipts on
whisky suddenly dropped more than
half, and sales of wool greatly in
creased But the uncertainty is not
removed, and much Of the business
done seems to be in the nature OF in
surance against possibilities. All the
year it has been argued that gold ex-
ports have practically ended, but the
outgo this week has been $4,000, 600,
making the net outgo for the month
about $40, 100000. Of all explanations
given only one fits the facts. With
wheat at the lowest point ever known,
and moving from the farms freely,
while imports are still restricted by
doubts about future duties, gold could
not go out if there were the
ordinary confidence in the future OF en-
terprises here.
But much was done to prevent that
confidence by Legislation hostile to
lenders in western and southern states
and many millions have doubtless been
called in by foreign loan companies and
taken away. Still more has been done
by the strikers, the depression OF man
ufactures, the loss of railroad earnings
and the rapid decrease of treasury bal
ances, which are reduced to about fifty
six millions, the lowest ever known
since preparations for resumption be-
gan. Internal revenue receipts amount
to 500, 700, 900 for the month, $14, 200, ,oOO
more than in the same part OF July last
year. Customs receipts this month are
less than $4,000, 900, against SIG, ,OOO, oOe
last year.
Wheat has found in the lowest depths
deeper still, and sold below 55, max
ing the monthly average at New Yorl
the lowest ever known. Western re
ceipts have been 5,455,S74 bushels
against S,109,295 last year, in part be
cause Of delayed shipments, but tn
, movement from the farms has beel
heavy, while Atlantic exports hav
been only 1,511,eo4 bushels, agains
2,O57, $50 last year. Corn was stronger
, with accounts Of injury to part OF cror
and the exports are trifing.

BELIEVED TO BE LOST.
The WeIlman Arctic Expedition Reported
Lost-Experlenced Shippers Think Their
Vessel Has Been Crushed In tho Ice.

The Wellman Arctic Expedition Reported
Lost-Experlenced Shippers Think Their
Vessel Has Been Crushed In tho Ice.
LONDON, July 25. Carl Siewers writes
to the Standard that he is in receipt OF
advices from Norway that leave little
doubt that the Wellman Arctic expedi-
tion is lost.
Experienced shippers just returned
from the Spitzbergen seas express the
same opinion, and Col. Fielding, who
accompanied Capt. Mares expedition in
1875, shares this belief. The Pail Mall
Gazette is in receipt Of similar advices
from Tromso, all confirming the gen.
eral belief in the fate of the expedition.
Arctic shippers report that the foe
of pack ice and its density this summer
would prove irresistible to any vessel
however strong.
They believe that the Ragnvald-Jarl
has been crushed in the ice and express
the belief that there is a remote chance
that the members of the Wellman ex-
pedition have been saved by managing
to get upon an ice foe. In which case,
they believe, that the explorers are in
most dangerous position.
The Wellman expedition was planned
and organized by Walter Wellman, at
one time Washington correspondent OF
the Chicago Herald, which paper fur
nishes the financial backing. The idea
was to go to the northern coast OF Eu-
rope and there to make their way across
the ice to the north. To facilitate their
progress they had built in Baltimore
two aluminium boats, which they took
with them, thinking that their light
ness combined with their great strength
would be great advantage.
The party, which consisted OF Well
man, a reporter Of the Chicago Herald,
and three scientists, sailed for London
on the regular steamer and there char
tered vessel to take them north. They
stopped at Denmark and Sweden to get
dogs, and when they left Tromsoe, the
last European port, they had every
prospect Of being successful.

THREE BRAVE FIREMEN

Lose Their Lives In q Disastrous Fire at the
Nations Capltal-Two Hundred Heavy
Draft Horses Perish in the FIames-Loss,
S25O,OOO.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-The ware
house and stables of the George w.
Knox Express Company, occupying
over quarter of a block at Second and
B. streets, northwest, were destroyed
by fire early yesterday morning. Thee
fremen lost their lives.
Over 200 heavy draft horses, nearly
all OF the companys express wagons
and the contents of the large storage
building were burned. The Adams Ex-
press Company's stable, adjoining the
Knox building to the north, was also
almost entirely consumed. About $50
horses We're in the Adams Express Com
pany's stable, but all were taken out
by the hardest kind of work on the
part of citizens and policemen. Eight
two-story houses on the alley north OF
the Knox building and two small frame
houses back of the Adams stables were
destroyed.
Six or eight other residence houses
were more Or less damaged. The total
loss will exceed a quarter of a million
dollars. The bodies of the following
tiremen have been recovered: Samuel
d. Mastin, fireman, No, 1; Michael
Fenton, fireman, No. /; Dennis Dono-
hue, fireman, No, l..
Four firemen were badly injured and
had to be taken to the Emergency hos
pital. One of the Knox stable employees
was burned and may die. Fully a
dozen firemen and policemen were
overcome by heat and had to be carried
to places of safety.
Shortly before o'clock in the morn
ing the most terrible incident of the fire
occurred. The firemen had carried
their hose into the burning warehouse
through one of the large rear doors
This door was held up by weighted
ropes, and the men had just entered
the building when the ropes burnec
through and the heavy wooden dool
fell, penning them in. The work o.
cutting through the door was immedi
ately begun and was all but finished
when the floors above fell with crash
The immense weight burst out th'
door and crushed two of the fremel
to death. Three others were will
difficulty dragged out Of the debri
alive. In about five minutes the por
tion of the outside wall immediatel..
over the door gave way, filling tn
wide alley, but injuring no one.

most horrible affair occurred on
Straight cscek on the eastern edge Of
Calhoun county. A man named Valen-

Mrs. Jacob Trader, widow, had ar

To get rid Of the child the couple tied
her to tree, piled brush around it and
set it on fire and fed. The screams of
the child attracted attention and she
was released, but not until she was so
horribly burned that she cannot live.

tinued Until September 8.
CHICAGO, July 26.-Messrs. Debs,
Howard, Keliher and Rogers, OF the
American Railway union, are at liberty
under bail, pending the hearing OF the
various cases against them. They were,
yesterday afternoon, required to give
$1,000 bonds each, covering five new in
dictments, in addition to the contempt
cases brought by the government and
the Santa Fe railroad. The hearing OF
the contempt cases was continued until
September 5, and it is the purpose OF
the defendants attorneys to force
hearing on the indictments before the
contempt cases are again called. At
the mornings session of the United
States circuit court the judge entered
formal ruling denying the defend
ants motion toquash. He held that the
Railway union was committing unlaw-
full acts in interfering with interstate
commerce, and he proposed to find out
what connections the defendants had
with it.
The case was postponed on account
of the illness of Government Attorney
Edward Walker The attorney for the
Santa Fe road attempted to force a
hearing on his complaint, but the judge
thought he ought not to be forced into
taking two doses of the same medicine
and put over both cases together. While
court adjourned at II o'clock, it was 4
o'clock in the afternoon before bonds
were furnished. Messrs. William Fitz-
gerald and william Skakel, the two
gentlemen who were already on the
bonds of the defendants for 50, 500 each,
signed the additional twenty-eight
bonds and the aggregate amount of
their guarantee on the four men is
S9S, 900. On account of the large number
of bonds to be furnished Judge Gross
cup reduced the bonds on contempt to
81 900 in each case.
The defendants left the federal build
ing about 1880 o'clock and went back to
the Jail to gather their belongings.
They all declare themselves ready for
work at once.
