A CHINESE VICTORY
Shanghai Papers Claim a
Big Battle.
JAPANESE FLED BEFORE THEM
Erect of the Tarin Bin ON the English
Wool AEarket--The Evacuation
OF Cyprus.

SHANGRAI, Aug. 29.-The native press
has received the confirmation of the re-
ported battle between the Chinese and
Japanese troops August 18th. Accord
ing to these reports 5000 Chinese troops
attacked the Japanese forces detailed to
guard the Ping Nang passes in North
west Corea, and eventually succeeded in
driving the Japanese from their posi-
tions. It is added q large number of
Coreans hocked to the Chinese standard,
begging for arms and for permission to
form the advance guard of the Chinese
forces moving against the Japanese.
August 14th, according to reports re-
ceived by the native press, the Chinese
were reinforced by four thousand
troops from Yi-Chow, and the day fol-
lowing they attacked the Japanese lines
at Chung Ho, and the Japanese retreat
ed. August 18th the Chinese army was,
the report says, further reinforced by
$4,000 fresh troops, and August 18th
they attacked the Japanese, who are
said to have lost 1000 men and heavy
baggage. The Chinese August 18th ad-
Vanced to Hang-Chow, and passing too
near the Tsien-Tang river, thirteen Jap
anese warships opened fire upon them,
infiicting loss of several hundred men.
At ebb tide the same day three Japan
ese warships found themselves grounded,
and were afterwards severely damaged
by the fire of the Chinese artillery
handled from ambush. The bulk of the
Japanese forces, it is further asserted,
retreated southwark, pursued by the
Chinese cavalry until night stopped the
latter's advance. General Yeh, the
Chinese commander, made detour and
attacked the Japanese in the rear, COM
pletely routing them and capturing
Hang-Chow. The general news received
here does not confirm these reports Of
the native press.

The Enrlish wool nrarket.

LONDON, Aug. ga representative
of the house of Windeler & Co., the
largest woolbrokers engaged in Ameri-
can trade in London, in an interview to-
day expressed the opinion that the
American tariff bill would undoubtedly
benefit the English market, which is
now feverish and uncertain. Stocks are
held firm here. and dealers in the United
States are demanding lower prices. The
large stock of woods in the United States
and elsewhere, he believes, makes per-
manent rise doubtful. There is little
business now, and the next public sale
will not take place until September 18th.
The American dealers insist upon
cheaper raw material in consequence of
their reduced profit. The woolbroker
firm of Jacob & Co. concur in the views
of Windeler & Co., adding that recent
sale of 1000 bales has been made to
American buyers. Yorkshire houses
are jubilant over the passage of the
tariff bill into a law, and are confident
of increased business in the future.

Tho Kn,ghts of Pxthias.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 29.-Today's
programme for the Pythian encampment
opened with the beginning of the prize
drills, the continued session of the su-
preme lodge, inspection and review of the
uniform rank in the White lot, and an
illumination and parade. The prize
drills were held on the grounds of the
Washington Baseball Park, and began
at 8 o'clock this morning. 1t was not
expected much of crowd would gather
at that early hour, but the great num-
Der of commands entered for prizes, and
the fact that the Washington and Gin
cinnati baseball clubs are to use the
grounds this afternoon, made it neces-
sary that the drills should begin at the
time set. The competing organizations
and friends made goodly sized crowd.
Half an hour was allowed each division.

rhe vanderbilt scandal.

NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 29.-Talk of the
domestic infelicities of Mr.. and Mrs.
William K. Vanderbilt, at Newport. ex-
tends over period of two years or more.
Two summers ago w. K. Vanderbilt
turned upat Newport on the yacht Alva,
and was on it when it was sunk in Vine
yard sound. A few months later Van
derbilt, who is an enthusiastic yachts
man, went to England, where he re-
manned while his present yacht Valiant
was being built. When Vanderbilt re-
turned gossip was silenced by the an
nouncement of plans for long trip with
Mrs. Vanderbilt and other well known
persons. Curious stories have reached
here of quarrels aboard the yacht which
resulted in the abandonment of the
cruise at an early stage, and entirely
breaking up the party. Mrs. Wander
bilt has told her friends she had no in
tention of returning to Newport for
years, and the marble house which cost
$1,0O0,0OO, and which her husband
settled on her, will remain closed.
Depew first heard of the late trouble
when the Debs crisis was at its height in
Chicago. When the strike was prac-
tically over he sailed, and until word
was received yesterday to the contrary,
it was believed he had succeeded in
keeping the Vanderbilt family linen out
of the public wash. Cornelius Wander
bilt has left Newport. Mrs. W. K.
Vanderbilt is a Southern woman of the
family of Smiths, of Mobile, Ala, who
are much prouder of their blood than
the Vanderbilts are of their millions.
She is a handsome woman. and, al
though she is exceptionally exclusive,
those who know her say she is gracious
and charming to those whom she favors
with her friendship.

A NEW WRINKLE IN ICE.
Jumps of All Sizes Frozen to Order
Cubes for Morning Cocktails.
From the London Lancet.

From the London Lancet.
An ingenious apparatus for the manu-
facture of cube ice" is an invention re-
Gently exhibited in this city. The ma
chine is a simple one, in which blocks of
pure artificial ice are placed, emerging
In the same but stronger shape and pos
sessing some peculiar characteristics.
When tapped with an ice chisel or even
penknife, they break up into cubes of
convenient size, instead of shattered into
irregular aud ill-assorted Jumps.
The invention is of hygenic Importance,
too, for the machine also stamps plainly
on each of the symmetrical cubes the
Trademarks of the maker Thus the con
sumer is protected by this ''name-blown-
in-the-bottlen device, the stamp being a
guarantee of the purity of the article AM
its origin. The invention has also the
virtue of economy, as there is no waste
from broken ice and the cubes are sym
metrical and attractive.
The invention is thus explained: "In
the course of some experiments Mr.. Van
der Weyde observed that ice at tenn
perature below freezing point, when
newly cut and left in contact, adhered so
strongly that it would not break in the
same place, whereas, when exposed to a
warmer temperature, it would split at
the originally cut places with great ease
the interesting phenomenon of regulation
first brought to light by Farraday and
afterwards studied by Tyndall, Mr.. Van
der Weyde developed his invention as the
outcome of its practical application. The
phenomenon of regulation is the result OF
the action of capillary force at the boun-
darles of the film of water which con-
meets the pieces placed in contact, pro
ducing an effect equivalent to attraction
between them, just as two plates of clean
glass with film of water between them
seem 10 adhere.
ice being wet by water, the boundary
of the connecting film is concave, and
this concavity implies a diminution OF
pressure in the interior The film accord
ingly eXerts upon the ice a pressure less
than atmosphere, and as the remote sides
of the blocks are exposed to atmospheric
pressure there is a resultant force urging
them together ana producing stress at the
small surface of contact. Melting of the
ice, therefore, occurs at the places of con
tact and the cold thus evolved freezes the
adjacent portions of the water film, which,
being less than atmospheric pressure.
will begin to freeze at a temperature a
little above the normal freezing point.
1T is necessary" says the Lancet 'to
allow the block to warm for a short
time, so that the cement of ice loses its
previously tenacious hold upon the small
cubes into which the block is divided
Then, after this warming-up process,
the cubes are as easily separated as
postage stamps from a perforated sheet.
A l6-pound block of ice, for instance, can
easily be divided into 512 half-ounce
cubes, or a 32-pound block into 5l2 LOUNGE
cubes -
