Chinese Tactics.

The Chinese squadron, says the

Gulf. They are to be seen between
Port Arthur and Wei-hai-wei. The
Chinese, adds the same paper, nav
ing been defeated at GaZan, have now
concentrated their troops at Gishu
road to prevent the invasion of the
japanese army by land. a private
telegram is said to have been received
in Tokyo to the effect that it has been
proposed at the Chinese Military
Council to take advantage OF the
want OF men-of-war on the japanese
coasts TO send warships to attack at
the same time SasebO, Balkan, Nagoya
lin HiZen, Kyushul, and Tsuruga. If
China has really decided to take the
offensive, instead of only the defen-
sive, she is welcome, says the Shin
ChOya, to send her cruisers to Japan
csc waters, where the japanese will
show their true spirit and make a
short work of the invaders.

The PI..sue in Honekone.

The plague in Hongkong is gradu-
ally dying out and the number of new
cases now reported is small. The
bacillus of the disease has, however,
been discovered in the soil in the Tai
pingshan district at a depth of foot
and half, fact which indicates the
necessity of vigorous measures TO pre-
vent recrudescence of the epidemic.
The permanent committee has ad-
dressed two letters to the Government
conveying their recommendations
which include the abolition of under
ground drains in Chinese houses, the
disallOwance of houses being built
back TO back, and the passing of regu-
space for each occupant of a house
The property in Taipingshan they
recommend should be destroyed, pre-
ferably by fire, and that improved
dwellings be erected there.

The Second Naval Eneaeement.

A ShimonOseki dispatch to the Osa-
ka Mainichi says that reports have
been received from Fusan of a second
naval engagement. The Fusan dis
patch mentions that the engagement
took place near Kunsan Island on the
west coast of Korea. The japanese
man-of-war Naniwa and eight other
japanese ships fought eight Chinese
men.Of-war. During the engagement
the Akagi Kan arrived on the scene
and slightly reinforced the Japanese
fleet. One Chinese war vessel was
sunk and another was captured. A
feature Of this engagement was the
stubborn fight made by a boarding
party led by japanese officers, who
with drawn swords climbed the sides
of one or more of the Chinese men-of-
war and engaged in a hand-to-hand
conflict

TOLEDO CORRUPTION.
A Lexow Commission to Act in That

a LoxOW COmmi8BiOn to Act IN That
City.
Toledo, Ohio, Nov, 4.-The con-
tinued agitation In municipal affairs
in this city has at last borne fruit. A
number of leading business men of To
ledo met last night at the Chamber of
Commerce. 1t was star-chamber
session and the results of the meet
ing were secret, but enough leaked out
to indicate that radical action had
been taken. A member of the original
good government committee of New
York was called in as advisory counsel
and will direct subsequent events.
Some of the leading attorneys of
the city will have charge of the inves-
tigation which will be conducted after
the fashion of the Lexow committee
and sufficient funds to carry on the
investigation of all the city depart
ments are now at hand.
"There will be no delay on that
score" said one of the committee. 1--WE
will show where over 81 200, 600 Of the
taxpayers money has gone into i'm
proper channels and the result will be
surprising to all but the guilty. 1t
will involve men and transactions now
supposed to be above reproach."
The investigation will be non-parti-
san and will begin Immediately after
election. An effort will also be made
to secure n new city charter and abol-
ish the present system of local govern
ment.

A PLUCKY WOMEN.
she Withstands the Attack of Three
Armed burglars.

Armed burglars.
Denver, Nov. 4.-The Republican
this morning says: Between 10 and
IL O'Clock. last night conflict of n
most remarkable kind took place in a
room of 3O51 Stout street. Three
masked and armed burglars found
their way into the bedchambcr of
Mrs. James D. Scott. who had already
retired, and attacked her with a revol-
yer, slungshot and billy. For nearly
ten minutes Mrs. Scott fought them
single handed and alone, while they
rained blow after blow upon her de-
fenseless head and body, and finally
she drove them off.
In the course of the unequal struggle
the lady's head was cut severely in
three places. her right arm was bat
tered into limp mass of confused and
blackened flesh, and her body injured
in other places. When the burglars
had fed and neighbors came to Mrs.
ScOtt's assistance, she was completely
prostrated and the room where the
fight took place presented the appear
ance of slaughter house.
Murder and robbery was undoubt-
edly the intent of Mrs. Scott's assail-
ants and that they did not succeed in
either particular is due to the phenom-
enal strength and courage displayed
by her. Nothing was stolen from the
house and the physicians attending the
heroine Of the desperate adventure say
that within week she will have fully
recovered from its effects.

NO AMERICAN BEEF.
Germany Again Prohibits the Landing OF
Cattle.


Hamburg, Oct. 27.-The senate to-
day published a decree prohibiting the
Importation of American live cattle
and fresh beef, on the ground that two
cargoes which have just arrived con-
tained several animals suffering from
Texas fever.
Consignments which are proved to
have left America by Oct. 81 are Gx-
empted from these provisions, but the
animals imported must be killed at the
abattoir here Immediately after they
are landed.
Washington, Oct. 27.-The action of
the German government in prohibiting
the Importation of cattle and fresh
beef was not entirely unexpected by
the agricultural department, although
the officials had hoped up to the last
moment that the Germans would prove
open to reason. The matter will not
be allowed to rest where 1t now stands
but our government will cause a thor
ough Investigation to be made Of the
causes of the alleged act in such a
summary fashion. No doubt is felt
here that these alleged cases will turn
out to be founded on a mistaken dag
nosis, for IL there is any cattle disease
that the German veterinarians know
little about, that disease is Texas
fever. purely climatic, nominee
tious fever peculiar to America.

Washington, Oct. 26.-Recent decis-
ions Of the second comptroller of the
treasury relative of the right Of en-
listed men of the army to recover
money from the government for per-
sonal property lost while in govern
ment service have shown that the law,
il properly construed, works a great
injustice on the private soldier, and
Acting Secretary Doe, who has care
fully examined several meritorious
cases, which have been rejected under
the comptroller's decision, has been so
impressed with that fact that he has
determined to recommend to Congress
an amendment of the law in the SOL
diers' interest. One case Of this kind
grew out Of the railroad wreck near
Sacramento during the strike when
two enlisted men lost their clothing
when In the line of duty. Another SOL
dier ordered to attend the funeral Of
the late Mayor Carter Harrison at Chi
cago had his overcoat stolen though he

seal, which would show fer what, II
any, crimes they had been convicted.
This was Colonel Stump's suggestion
and it met with favor. The record Of
the investigation conducted by the ser.-
ate committee on immigration Of Lha
Fifty-third congress, showed that about
$40, 100000 was annually returned to
Italy by those who had immigrated to
this country. In Germany the officials
were taking unusual precautions to pre-
vent any of the prohibited classes from
sailing to America from German ports.
In this they were assisted by the steam
ship companies which were enforcing
their rules, imposing heavy fines OH
their agents who sell tickets to persons
not allowed to land in the Unitei
states. Some of these companies I'm
pose fine of 500 on each passenger re-
fused admittance and others impose a
fine equal to the entire expense of re-
turning the immigrant to the port from
which he sailed. Colonel Stump had
several conferences with Baron Hirsch
in regard to the exodus of Jews from
Russia. He was assured that the per-
secutions by the Russians had practi
cally ceased Baron Hirsch's society
was doing all it could to encourage col
onizntion In the Argentine Republic.
Tie Argentine Republic would prove
for more advantageous to the Russian
Jews than the United States.
Speaking generally Colonel Stump
was of the opinion that far bettcr
class of emigrants were now coming to
this country than at any time in the
past. He believed it to be fact that
none of the European governments
We're now giving any aid to intending
emigrants. Colonel Stump brought
with him copies of the immigration
laws Of all the principal countries, to
gether with all regulations bearing on
the subject, and he will very soon make
report to the secretary covering the
facts collected during his tour.

The awning gave way near the build

umns falling inward and smashing the
large plate glass fronts of both build
ings.
On either side of the street several
columns of people rushed to the scene
In wild excitement. Men, women and
children ran screaming and crying to
learn the fate Of their relatives and
friends.
Mr.. Allen Sells was riding in his
buggy at the head of the procession.
He ordered 1t to stop and called to
those near to assist in removing the
people beneath the debris. Different
members of the circus rendered valu-
able assistance. The people beneath
