LOUISVILLE, Sept. 23.-The city is fast

Catholic Congress, which meets Tuesday
The congress will open with high mass at
the cathedral in the forenoon. At this SER

gress will have a business meeting after
the mass at st. Boniface, to be followed
by a convention of the young men. In the
evening a public meeting will be held in
the auditorium, at which there will be
music and speaking. Among those on the
programme for addresses are Rt. Rev.

1t is expected that thousands will be here
to attend the Congress-, which has for its
cation among the German Catholic people
OF the United States:
The proceedings of the fifth annual
grand council of the Atlantic jurisdiction
this afternoon. The parade was a failure
owing to the fact that Bishop McCloskey,
Catholic bishop of the diocese of Louis
ville issued an edict against the parade
on Sunday. Visiting delegates as well as
local members were much put out over the
affair and a number of the lodges paraded
in defiance of the Bishops edct. AT night
the visitors were given a reception at the
rooms of the various LOCAL councils. The
first business meeting will be held to-mor-
row morning.

False Announcements to Draw Crowds,
Which, However, Refused to BE

Further news of Saturdays unprecedented
Democratic fiasco from one end of the
State to the other came in last night,
will be seen by the Journals dispatches
printed below. When the Democratic man
ayers began advertising their great" cam
paign opening day the Journal determined
TO have the meetings reported without
prejudice and with a view to giving moth
ing but the. facts. From a score Of places
the returns have come in and the figures
al go 20 show that either the Democrats
have nearly all turned Populists or Repub-
licans, or else they were so thoroughly dis
gusted that they refused to turn out. Num-
erous failures TO hold meetings were re-
ported yesterday and later dispatches show
the same at other places. The affair az
Cambridge City. where Francis NJ. Grif-
fifth, Democratic candidate for Attorney
general, left town rather than make a
speech to the five people who assembled at
the great metting, was duplicated here in
Indianapolis when Jason Brown and John
Lamb remained concealed at the Grand
Hotel rather than show up at the gathering
of 80 people in Masonic Hall. The news
from the State shows that Brown and Lamb
were too sensitive. AT least a dozen Dem
ocratic speakers at different points had
audiences that ranged from 100 TO 80.
Cooper's meeting at E.wood Bynum's, at
Bloomington; Martins, at Bluffton; Brook

TWO UNFORTUNATE JEPs.
Appealed to Uncle Sam for Their
Lives, but Appealed i'm Vnfn.

VICTORIA. B. c., Sept 23-Additional
gossip Of interest concerning China and
Japan has been brought by steamers just
arrived from the two countries The ac-
counts say:
The case of two alleged Japanese spies
who have been given up by the United
States consul-general at Shanghai to al
most certain death at the hands of the
Chinese attracts much attention and
causes no little i'll feeling among Ameri-
cans and Europeans in China These two
young men had for some time been pur-
suing their studies in Shanghai, and, like
the majority of the Japanese residents
were in the habit of wearing Chinese
dress. With the idea of serving their
country in some indefinite way they UNDER
took at the outbreak of war to collect in
formation which they thought would be
valuable to their government; What they
gave to their government has not yet
transDired. but it Is charged they made
drawings of defenses. and in consequence
OF that they we're arrested by native Off
GERS in the French quarter of the settle
ment. On the japanese consulate closing
it was rumored all Japanese remaining in
sentatives of the United States for such
aid and advice as could be unofficially
vouchsafed. Explanations were given that
absolute protection could not be extended,
hut that something might be done to res
cue. these foolhardy young raen from their
perilous position. They were handed over
from the French consul to the American
consul-general in spite of the protests and
demands of the Chinese government, which
insisted their surrender. Mr. Jerning-
ham, consul-general, soon discovered the
suspected men had no connection with
Jap authorities. and they acted wholly on
their own responsibility. 1t is understood
that after due investigation he was dis
posed to ship them to Japan but on re-
porting the incident to Washington he re-
ceved peremptory instructions to deliver
them to Chinese custody. This the tee-
gram announced was done Sept. TO the
dissatisfaction of the great majority of
aliens dwelling in Shanghai
The ordinary procedure with accused
foreigners who have no consular repre-
sentative is to bring them before a mixed
court under the control of a chief magis-
trate and foreign safety, but no one be-
lieves the prescribed course will be fol-
lowed in the present case unless strong
de demonstration is made by several coDsuls
supported by ministers at Pekin against
the removal OF the prisoners from the set
tlement. Without regard to this question
of legislative propriety Ii Is regarded by
Americans that their government felt il
imperative to infiict what was virtually a
sentence of death on the overzealous
Ja9aneSe.

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 2s.-Among the
arrivals on the Victoria from Shang-
hal was Captain Gailsworthy. who
was in command of the un-
fortunate transport Kow Shing when a
broadside from the Naniwa sunk her. He
was hurrying to London. where a second
investigation of the now famous case is
to be held under the direct authority Of
the imperial government. At his request
his name was excluded from the passenger
list and every effort made to conceal lis
Identity. He declined to even meet any
newspaper men saying that he did not
want to prejudice his case by any public
utterances. During the trip however he
discussed the matter with passengers and
toll several things that have not before
been made public. He stated that three
hours before he fell in with the japanese
fleet he met two Chinese cruisers that had
sighted the enemy and was flying with all
speed, going at eighteen knots. and at their
mastheads flew flags of truce. They passed
the kow shing in plain view. but did not
not have known what she was, but the
troops crowded her decks. and it was

commands from the Japanese war ships
knowing what utter folly it was to resist,
the tnlneSe troops piacSQ al guard at the
corlpanion way of the brig. They had
their swords drawn. and their orders were
to cut him down IL he attempted to leave.

Japan,s Naval Victory Questioned.


ordnance officers of the navy are prepared
Japanese and chinese fleets at the Yalu
river as a demonstration Of the superiority
of fleet of unarmored cruisers over
heavily protected but moderate-speed bat
tie ships. This is natural. In view of the
fact that for many years the officers of
this branch of the service have devoted
their ingenuity to the development of the
pas,sively resistant quality of ships, hold
ing that design best which carries the
heaviest armor. Thus they created the
great battle ship, and now they stand pre-
pared to defend her. One of the most dis
tinguished of ordnance officers in his rec
ord of work accomplished, man who has
had much to do with designing the guns
and armor for our modern ships, speaking
on the subject of the Yalu fight, was in
clined to be skeptical to-day as to the de-
feat of the Chinese battle ships. Said he:
"we are still in the dark as to the de-
tails OF the battle, but / will venture the
assertion now that not one of the Chinese
battle ships seriously injured. and that
their loss was confined to cruisers or only
best of the Chinese battle ships is not a
first-class vessel. The Chen-Yuen is a
second-rate ship about like our Maine or
reason, though that is a very good one,
why the battle ships did not speedily de-
stroy all of the Japanese fleet, and that
reason is the immense superiority Of the
Japanese personnel. The Japanese them
selves fully understand the value of battle
ships. and have been making strenuous

new armored vessel built in Europe for

said and written about the value Of high
speed unarmored cruisers, mainly by the
private builders who are after the big
premiums paid for speed. / would rank

valuable qualities for war ship About
the only advantage it offers is the oppor-

battle ship and the twenty knots of a
cruiser Is not enough to save the latter

shells will not penetrate the armored side

can do that is the "armorpiercer" and

their conduct did much to instill spirit

Admiral Tings staff, on board the Chen

Engineers Albrecht and Hoffman were the
only two of the eight foreigners who were
pet wounded. All the wounded are doing
well and will soon be fit for duty. The
dispatch further says that the Chinese dis

chiefly due to the want of cooperation
between the commanders, a common fault
in the Chinese army. 1t Is reported that
