The Japanese Have Landed.

SHANGHAI, Oct. 3-The governor OF
Kirin, Manchurla. reports that the Jap
anese have effected landing in the
rear of Ian Chun. The whole province
is in state of CONSERVATION; but
measures for its defence are being
taken. Another heavy levy has been
made upon the Chinese merchants in
order to meet the expenses of the war
The native papers confirm the report
exclusively cabled to the Associated
Press yesterday, that 5000 Japanese
troops have landed in the northeastern
part Of Cores. The Europeans who
were wounded In the battle fought off
the Yalu river are all doing we'll.
1t is reported that the Chinese SOL
diers who retreatsd from Ping Yang
have taken up position at Ngan
where they have been joined by troops
which were landed on the banks of the
Yalu river, and by others from Shin
King. This force is reported to be en-
trenching itself thoroughly, and it is
now thought probable that the result
of the war will be decided in the battle
which. 1t is expected, must be fought
at Ngan.
The Chinese authorities Of this city
attempted to arrest japanese traveller
from Manchuria on his arrival here
from Tientsin. They claim they were
justified, as he was suspected of being
spy. A police informer took charge
OF the man and handed him over to the
American consul.

FORMALLY NOTIFIED.
Messrs. Morton, 'Saxton and Haight
Waited Upon at Rhinebeck by
theCommittee Appointed.

RHINEBEcK. N. Y, Oct. 3.-The
committee appointed by the chairman
Of the Republican state convention to
officially notify the candidates Of their
nomination, left New York on spec
tai train at 1890, and arrived here
shortly after noon today. The com.
mittee consisted of General G. H. T.
Collis, chairman; and Messrs. Cruger.
Hendricks, Ellis, Buell., Lexow, Wit
tersbee, Baxter and Ellsworth.
These gentlemen were accompanied
by Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew, General
Benjamin f. Tracy. who proposed Mr..
Morton's nomination; John Sergeant
Wise. who seconded it; Chairman
Charles W. Hsckett, of the state COM
mittee; Chairman B. Odell. Of the state
executive committee; Chairman Will
lam Brookfield, of the county committee I;
General Horace Porter, president of
the y MON League club; Edmund Wet.
more. president of the Republican
club; General A. McCook. who was
secretary of the senate when Mr.. Nor
ton was vice president. and George II.
Sharpe, one of Mr.. Morton's neighbors.
Upon the arrival of the train the
party was driven in coaches to Mr..
Morton's home at Ellerslie. Senator
Charles D. Saxton and Judge Albert
Haight, the nominees for lieutenant
governor and judge Of the court of
appeals, were with Mr.. Morton when
he received his guests. Mr.. Morton
entertained the party at luncheon.
General Coils, as chairman of the
committee. delivered the nominating
address He said:
Mr.. Morton-Deputed by the Republican
convention which recently Lassembled at
Saratoga, we visit your home today to
tender to you in the presence Of your fam
ily the nomination for the high Office Of
governor Of the commonwealth. This is
but the formal notification Of a fact which
has for months past been anticipated by
the people, and the consummation Of which
had been received by them with enthusi-
asm and sincere qualification.
"Comrade Saxton: To you, sir, we are
instructed to tender the Republican NOM
ination for the important office Of lieuten-
ant governor After friendly, but earn
est contest, in which many Of the brightest
intellects in the state were your rivals, you
became the unanimous choice OF the con-
| vention.
ITO you, Judge Haight, comes very
properly that promotion to higher ju-
dicial sphere, which of right belongs to the
experienced and upright judge. 1t is q
strong argument in favor Of an elective
judiciary when we are admonished that
the electors will not tolerate candidacy
| for the Bench which is not absolutely free
Of taint; whereas it sometimes happens,
where the appointing power Is conferred
upon the executive, that the purest life
does not escape calumny or avoid rejection
| by the senate. l may, therefore, say that
the nomination for judge of the court OF
| appeals is rendered you with positive
knowledge that your character is without
blemish or reproach.
Messrs Morton. Saxton and Haight
responded briefly.
At A o'clock the party boarded the
special train and started for New York.

EXPLORERS RETURN.
Professor Charles E. Hile and Party
Return from a Visit at
Labrador.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.-Charles E.
Hile, professor of taxidermy and
ornithology at the University of Penn
sylvania. with Howard Bucknell, G..
Perkins and G. NJ. Coates, re-
turned today from their two
months Of explorations at Labra-
dor. The results of the explorations
were very satisfactory, and they have
brought back with them large botan.
icsl, ornithologieal and natural history
collection, including the remains of
several mammals.
Professor Hile thinks he has spsci.
mems of two birds of a hitherto un-
known genus and four or, five new
kinds of butterflies. but he cannot be
certain untils he has had an oppor.
tunity to examine the specimens more
thoroughly. ~ Professor Hile said that
they made thorough exploration of
the shores of Sandwich bay and the
country inland to the distance Of
twenty five miles. The party assembled
the great Beaver river 100 miles and
found it navigable to distance of 65
miles, where further progress to large
boats is barred by fall 65 feet high.
They also assembled two other small
rivers distance of twenty and forty
miles, respectively. One was broad
and shallow and filled with rapids and
the other was narrow and swift
According to Professor Hite, Labra-
dor Is untitled for agriculture. the soil
being rocky and sterile, but a short
distance back from the coast the coun-
try is heavily timbered with tomaroc
and birch, Extensive deposits of iron
ore were found, but owing to the short.
ness of the mild season and the severity
of the winters the deposits cannot be
worked on paying basis. The coast
Of Labrador is dotted with fishermen's
butts and few small settlements.
Professor Hite estimates the popula.
tion at 20. 900 and fishing is the only
industry. The people are mostly Eng
lish, Irish and Scotch and Professor
Hite says that their morals are the
worst of any people he has ever met.
Professor Hite says Labrador is the
paradise Of hunters and fishermen, the
land abounding with game and the
waters teeming with trout and salmon.
Winter had already set in when the
party left here early in Ssptem Dor and
from the 1st to the 9th of the month
they were snow. bound by a fierce
storm.

the largest convention in the history of
this noted trade organization, dele

that the effect Of the rapid adoption of

upon.
From an advance proof OF the an

questions affecting the fraternity, and
incidentally Of interest to the world of
trade unionism at large. Touching
upon Machines and their effect" Presi.
dent Prescott will say;
''rrue to the history and ethics of trade
unionism, we have not antagonized their
introduction. but have. with some reluc
tance, it may be, readily formulated scales
and entered into agreements suitable to
the changed conditions. Many new Ques-
tions have and will arise to harass
and aggravate US, and in dealing with
them 1t will benefit us and the future Of
the craft to be deliberate, accepting the
inevitable and securing the very best

All the afternoon newspapers gravely

though it is claimed in England that
at least one-seventh Of the isle is held
by British capital. But the French

such person as a London Madagascar

Early last month the French gov

taking decided action in regard to
Madagascar, probably believing that
the hands of England were tied by the
complications brought about through
the war between China and Japan.
Consequently NJ le Myre de Vilers was
sent on special mission to Madagas-
car, and it was understood that he was
to all intents and purposes instructed
to demand the sbdication OF the gov

France.
