sequently sent back to this country last
year as saloon passenger on board the
steamer Havel, the expenses of his trip
being partly paid by his brother and
partly by the Prussian government, the
latter taking care to inform the officials
of the United States embassy as to
Goerdler's movements in order that he
might be properly taken care of on his
arrival here. Before leaving Germany
Goerdler threatened to return to that
country and continue to wage his 80

Last month it was announced that
Goerdler was flooding the public offices
of Berlin with pamphlet entitled "Fiat
Justitia," In which he recited his expe-

Westphalia. Goerdler wanted the en-
peror of Germany to fight him with
pistols, claiming that he, as an Ameri-
can citizen, was also monarch and the
equal of the kaiser.

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.--Richard Goerd-
Ter, the man who wanted to interview
President Cleveland and who attracted
attention some time ago by challenging
Emperor William to fight duel. is a
native of Marienwerder province, West
Prussia. He emigrated to the United
Stated about 90 years ago and became
naturalized American citizen in Ken
lucky In due course of time. In 1882
Goerdler was sent to Berlin by Henry
Willard, it is claimed, to act as agent of
the Northern Pacific railroad. While
occupying this position Goerdler organ
ICED party of celebrated Germans who
were invited to participate in the open
ing of the railroad referred to.
Some time later Geerdler's father died
in Germany and the heirs got into a
fight about the estate. Richard Goerd-
Ter considered himself wronged by his
brother, but the German courts decided
against him and he then began the fight
against the courts accusing them of con-

of justice decided against him Goerdler

of Germany to fight duel.
A special jury of medical men was
called upon to pronounce on Goerdler's
sanity. They pronounced him hope

not guilty of the crime of Jesse majestic
and sent to private asylum for the in

Japanese Win Another Vic
tory on Yalu Riv or.
THE CHINESE LOSE HEAVILY.

Japanese Capture the Fortlflcations and
nese and Take Many Prisoners-A Big
Raid Chinese Planned to Take
Place on Sunday Morning.
CHEMULPo, Oct. 26.-Dispatches from
Wi Ju at midnight last night give ad-
ditional details of the battle between the
Chinese and Japanese across Yalu river.
General Nodsu, commander of the
japanese army, crossed Yalu river be-
fore daylight Thursday. Then he sent
Colonel Soto forward at the head of the
flying column on reconnoiterlng expe-
dition, The enemy was discovered &C.
cupying fortified position near Fush-
ing on the right bank of Yalu river.
Colonel Soto Immediately attacked the
Chinese. The fight lasted until noon,
when the Chinese broke and retired in
great disorder, falling back upon the
river.
Soto's troops set to work demolishing
the Notifications. Inside the fortiica-
tons they found 200 Chinese dead. A
number of prisoners were captured,
among whom was Chinese officer,
who stated the pos. i3a neld by IS bat
talions of Chinese troops. The Japan
csc escorting the prisoners then re-
joined Nodsu's main body.
The number OF Chinese wounded is
not known. The japanese lost 8 Of
fcers and 90 men killed and wounded.
AT Kulien it is expected the only
really determined stand of Chinese in
Manchuria will be made.
1t is understood that Field Marshal
Yamagatas' plans are completed for in
flicting what he hopes to be crushing
blow upon the Chinese. Several columns
of japanese troops are acting in concert
after the manner adopted by the Japan
csc at the battle of Ping Yang and it is
expected they will deliver simultane-
GUS attack upon the Chinese position.
If the Japanese plans are carried out
the work of the invaders will be com
pleted around the Chinese position by
midnight Saturday, attacking the fol-
lowing at dawn Sunday, but ii the jap
anese columns succeed in gaining posi-
tions assigned previous to midnight Sat
urday. it Is relieved an attack will be
delivered at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
1t is reported the Chinese regiments
at Kulien have been increased from
three to II. but it is extremely doubtful
whether all are fully armed.
Japanese troops are anxious to capture
Mokden before the Mikado's birthday,
which is on Nov. A.
