Sport ut Sheepshead.

New York, Sept. 5.-The greatest
amount of discussion today at Sleeps
head was the handicap at a mile and a
furlong, in which five horses went to
the post with Dobbins as the favorite
and Hornptpe the outsider. The other
three, Roche, Faraday and Saragossa,
were about equal second choices. AS
soon as the flag fell, Hornpipe went
out into the lead, with Faraday in sec
ond place and the others rating along
behind. This was the order until the
stretch, when Dobbins came up on the
outside, and set sail for the leaders,
while Roche did the same thing a lit
tie further in. Then about the same
thing was gone through as on Satur-
day last, when Dobbins began to bear
in on Roche, and Roche in turn was
crowded against Hornpipe, and by
reason of this Roche won. After a long
discussion, the stewards concluded to
allow the race to stand as run

stated on behalf Of himself and the other
contractors that they would certainly

board, although not altogether satisfied
gave Mr.. Norris to understand that when
the time specified had expired If they
were entitled to any extension il would
probably be granted before enforcing the
penalty. but declined TO take any action on
it now and filed the communication.
Mr.. Watson, one Of the sub-contractors,
and MIR. Norris appeared to urge that
their request made to the city council
public works, for the furnishing Of
monthly estimates on work done but not
fully completed, be granted. The board
appeared to be disposed to acquiese in the
request but referred the matter to the
city attorney for a report as to whether
such a modification in the terms of the
contract could be legally made. A guam
tty of routine business was transacted
and the board went into executive session
on matters connected with the grav -
sewer inspection.

of-war met in Corean waters. The en-
gagement commenced in the morning
and lasted four hours. At the com
mencement the Chinese sailors refused
to work their guns, but on five of them
being shot by their own officers, the
others fought SO we'll that they raked
the japanese fore and aft and carried
away his bridge, killing the Japanese
admiral. but the japanese picked off all
exposed persons on the Chi Yuen and
exploded a shell on her deck, killing a
lieutenant and the men working one
of the guns. The Chi Yuen's steering
gear was carried away and her for
ward guns disabled but she steered
with her twin screws and replied to the
japanese with her aft gun with such
effect that the Japanese surrendered,
hosting the dragon flag over a white
flag, but before the Chi Yuen could
take possession several japanese men
of-war hove in sight and the Japanese
hoisted his flag again while the Chi
Yuen fastened to get away, and sue

was badly damaged. On the next night

The japanese papers still find it diff
fcult to obtain authentic news of the
wal. and only accounts of alleged vic
torres given out by the government
are allowed to be published.
The Japanese are considering a
UNIQUE idea with regard to the dispos-
al of Chinese prisoners. The Chinese
already captured appear to be pleased
at having been made prisoners, as
they receive better treatment than
they are accustomed to when at large
in their own country. 1t is proposed to
send these prisoners back to China,
where they will not fail to speak in
high terms of the treatment they re-
ceived while in Japan and those who
hear of this would be so DESTROYS of
experiencing the same treatment that
they would not fight with any ardor
when they encountered the japanese
troops, but would throw down their
arms and run to the japanese as self
surrendered prisoners.

San Francisco, Sept. 5-The officers
and the passengers of the Belgic could
give little news Of the war. One story
was told of the remarkable cunning of
the Chinese in an engagement, but the
name of the place where the battle
took place was not known. a small
detachment of Chinese was sent out TO
attack a strong force of japanese. The
latter turned in force and almost ami
Inflated the small band of Chinese.
Those who were left retreated and
lured the Japanese on to an under
ground mine. The exultant japanese
rushed forward shouting OFT victorious
cries; the mine was fired and about 500
Japanese were blown into the air. The
entire Chinese force then swarmed
against the remainder and cut them
down.
The general belief among the officers
of the Belgic is that the Chinese would
not be great while in bringing the
Japanese government to terms.

Particulars of the Battles of Gazan
and SiISevan.

Cherulpo, Sept. "Details of the
Japanese advance upon the capture of
Gazan, with particulars of the battle
at Sikewsn. have been received here.
On the morning of July %, the army
came within sight Of the Chinese tents.
The Chinese camp was situated on a
hill at Sikewan, an important position
on the Gazan road. about seventeen
miles from Gazan In front of the hill
are rice paddles AMI marshes, crossed
in the middle by a little stream which
runs into Gazan bay, and a narrow
path leads up to the hill. 1t was a po-
sjtion easy to defend and hard to at

their rifles, were extremely fatigued
and they were allowed to rest them

their thirst with muddy water At mid
night the army left, the two wings
forming two separate companies.
There was only one path TO the hill
and there was a bridge over the stream
which had to be crossed. The main
bodies crossed the bridge at 2 O'clock
but when the last detachment was on
the point Of crossing, about 3 o'clock.

DEBS is A SICK MAN.
He Comes Into Court, Barely Able to
Stand I'm.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-The hearing in the
contempt cases against President Debs
land other officers of the A. R. u. dis
continued July 25, was taken I'D by
Judge Woods of the United States cir
cult court today.
| Special Counsel Walker, for the gov
eminent. announced the filing of a sup
Elemental bill of information. Attor-
ney Gregory, for the defense, moved
for jury trial, which was temporarily
overruled. The taking of evidence was
then begun.
Attorneys for the Santa Fe railroad,
which had brought proceedings against
the defendants similar to those of the
government, asked leave to amend the
bill. Judge Woods ruled that while the
testimony heard should be considered
as testimony in the government case,
it should also be applicable to Santa
Fe proceedings.
E. A. Milford, jr., manager of the
Western Union Telegraph company
produced over 5000 kilograms bearing
upon the strike.
The defense bitterly objected to the
admittance of the kilograms, but Judge
Woods finally admitted them. Dozens
were read and when the famous Save
your money and buy guns" message
was rSdu, 1t was lOuIlQ II also con-
tanned the words: TELL Effiie I am

gram,
Attorney Gregory took occasion to
denounce the prosecution for giving
incomplete message S for publication.
j Judge Woods said he did not consider
! the garbling of the dispatches amount
ed to much. when I read that tele-
gram in the papers," said the court,
II did not attach much Importance to
it, as it did not appear particularly in
icendiary."
1t was shown Debs had nothing to do
with sending this dispatch.
| At this point, Debs entered the court
room. He seemed scarcely able to
stand as he walked slowly to a seat.
Debs left his bed in objection to his
physicians's orders.
Contractor Brennock testified to hav-
ing secured, during the Arike, an or
der of non-interference from Debs,
which he used in having some switch
ing done in railroad yards. He said he
experienced much difficulty in having
railroad cars moved.

A NEW FIELD.
An English Woman Who Tells Ghost
Stories Professionally.
[From the New York SUM-

L
Telling ghost stories for a living is
what one young English woman is do
ing.
the usual story What could she do to
earn an honest penny?
'I can not teach, 1 can not paint 1
can not write. nor will 1 dig, or beg, or
steal What can I do?" was the ques-
ton she put to a friend whose sympa-
thy she did not doubt, although she
did her ability to give her any practi-
cal reply.
After a moment or two of hard
thinking. the friend said:
There is one thing, at least, that
you can do. and do well-you can tell
ghost stories"
Acting upon this suggestion, she soon
after Joined the ranks of young women
who support themselves, and became a
ghost story teller, and great success
she has made of the profession, if such
1t can be called.
An American lady who formed one of
a house party at an English country
place, last winter, speaks enthusiastic
ally of the success of the undertaking,
and says that very pleasant two
hours were those which the party
spent in listening to the thrilling and
blood-curdling stories told by the
young girl. who was bright, pretty and
we'll dressed. She was treated as a
guest. and supposed by the greater
number of the party to be one, and to
have very obligingly consented to tell
tales for the amusement of her com.
panions. The check which she re-
lceived from the hostess was for a good
ly amount-about what a singer or mu-
stefan would receive
Whether telling ghost stories for a
! livelihood would meet with any sue
cess in this country is a question.
Since house parties are becoming so
much the fashion among the smart set
; in America, possibly the services of a
young lady who has a knack this way
might be turned to advantage. A rainy
afternoon is the time when everything
drags There is no tennis, no golf
no riding, no driving, one can't read ali

"Thunatopsfs.''
By Charles Dudley Warner.

1 knew it by heart when L was a very
small boy, and as 1 went about repeating
it it used to interpret for me Bryant's
feelings for nature-the nature that L
saw-and the noble pathos of life. 1t
seemed to be a secret which l shared
with the poet
l remember well how shamefaced / was
once when cousin of mine exposed me.
Unbeknown to me he had stood near me
one evening when | was milking one Of
the cows, and heard me repeat ''Thana-
topsis." 1t must have been sufficiently
ludicrous, the spectacle of a barefooted
scrap of q boy-a boy not more than
years younger than the other boy, when
he wrote the poenl--seated on a miteasrn II
stool and declaiming those immortal - ~

aged the stately rythm of that blaITl1
verse to the intermittent sounding
stream in the pail. Very likely he did
not and that was one of the reasons
why he was accused of drying up the
cows he MIXED.
1 wondered then, and I wonder now,
where '"Thanatopsis'' came from. How
did it come into the mind of a boy, in
those remote hills, away from the sug-
gestions of the real world? Did the hills
teach him, and the forests, and the
brooks, and the clouds? Was it industry
and application that made this poem?
| think, my friends, that we shall have
to fall back on that mysterious some
thing. the possibly supernatural sugges-
| ton, that we call genius.
