CLEVELAND VERY 0HEERY.
The President Seems to Have Recovered
From His Gout.

Washington, Dec. 23.-President Cleve-
land returned to Washington this morning
from his successful and agreeable duclxing
expedition in the vicinity of Georgetown,
S. c. He speaks of his trip in the most
enthusiastic terms, and is especially de-
lighted with the generous hospitality
extended him by the citizens of the Pal
metto State. He appears to have dis
carded his painful limp, caused by gout,
which annoyed him previous to his de-
parture from Washington, for this after
noon when he stepped into his victoria
to take drive with Mrs. Cleveland there
was no perceptible lameness in his move
ments. He looks the picture of good
health, and his beautiful wife beside him
graciously acknowledged several saluta-
tions from personal friends as the presi-
dental carriage rolled along Vermont
avenue Mrs. Perrine, the mother of
Mrs. Cleveland, will be a guest at the
white house during the holidays
The Presidents train was due here
at a. m, but somewhere along their
route last night the cylinder head of one
of the engines blew out. causing brief
delay. This was overcome. but toward
the close of the trip a hot box developed
on one of the cars of the train, making
it impossible to maintain schedule time.
Several large hampers of game were
taken from the train and their contents
distributed among the cabinet families
and other favored friends of the nimrods
Capt. Robley d. Evans and c. r. Jeffer-
son of the party went on to New York
later in the day.

DoLL1N ON THE wAR-PArH.
Muscogee Armed to Resist a Raid by
the Desperado's Band.

south McAllister. I. T., Dec. 2S-The
town Of Museogee was in an uproar Of
excitement last night because Of the close
proximity to the town of Bill Dollin and
his gang. They were discovered about
noon four miles west of Muscogee. The
gang consisted of about eight men, loaded
with firearms and whisky. They were all
drunk TO the point of hilarity. and their
condition made them recklessly bold. Be-
sides firing AT any passer-by who hap
pened along, they spent the time sending
taunting messages TO the Muscogee Off
GERS, inviting them out to drink
The situation was telegraphed to Uni
ted States Marshal McAlister at McAHs-
ter. strong body of deputies was
quickly collected and a special train fur
nished by the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, started them for the scene The
deputies will endeavor TO surround the
gang and make an attack before they re-
cover from their debauch. A raid on Mus
cogee is momentarily expected, and the
officers and citizens there are arming pre-
paratory to an attack. All last night pas
senger trains to the vicinity were heavily
guarded. Bill Dollin is a relic Of the Dali
ton gang and has just organized and re-
entered the field

HARD FIGHTING IN oHINA.
Gen. Sung's Force Makes Brave but
Unsuccessful Resistance.

London, Dec. 23.-The Antong CORE
spondent of the Central News says that
Gen. Yamagata's division of the second
division of the Japanese army has ad-
vanced northward steadily for month,
and on Dec. IS occupied Kai Ping. No de-
Tense was made.
On Dec. 10, scouts reported to Lieut..
Gen. Katsura, then near Lao Yang. that a
large force of Chinese had been seen NOV
ing in the direction of Lao Chang. This
force proved to be the defeated garrison
of Hal Cheng, under the command Of
Gen. Sung. The Chinese had fled with all
possible speed ever since the 18th when
their position was captured by the enemy.
They were then in a rather demoraliZed
condition and were making for Moukden.
Lieut.. Gen. Katsura decided to intercept
them He left camp on the night of the
18th with his whole force and the next
morning overlook the Chinese at the vii
lage of KungsWa-Sai, where they made
an obstinate stand Although in poor
condition they were nearly 10000 strong
and forced some fierce fighting upon the
japanese. In the midst Of the battle Gen.
Oshima's brigade, from Mai Cheng, came
up and gave Lieut.. Gen. Katsura active
support.
The Chinese held out with surprising
bravery They faced the weIl-directed
fire from five Japanese batteries and
fought desperately, although without ef-
fectlve organization. The Japanese in
fantry charged twice through the scat
tered lines but the enemy rallied Three
bayonet charges eventually won the day
for Lieut.. Gen. Katsura, after five hours
of the hottest fighting yet experienced by
the second army. The Chinese faltered
as the third advance began and they fed
in disorder toward Ying Kow. The losses
are not known, but the Chinese are re-
ported to have left 800 men on the bat
tleheld.

BAHEN TO RECOVER.
It is Feared, However, That he Will be
a Cripple for Life.

Washington, Dec. 23.-George D. Bahen,
the Georgetown College foot ball player
who was so badly injured in game on
Thanksgiving day, that for a time his
life was dispaired of, is in fair way now
to recover, but it is feared he will be a
cripple all his days. The fifth ceverical
vertebrae was fractured. and the con-
sequent pressure upon the spinal cord
produced paralysis below the neck. In
spite of the belief of his physicians that
death must speedily ensue Bahen contin-
ued to live, and his condition finally war
ranted the surgeons in performing an
operation to remove the pieces Of frac-
tured bone and relieve the spinal cord.
This was undertaken Friday afternoon
by DR.. Kerr, who had previously sue
cessfully performed similar operations.
and the patient is tonight reported to be
improving in every way. Feeling has
been restored to the body and limbs as
far as the knees. The physicians are
greatly encouraged over the prospects of
final recovery. The case presents some
unusual features. and inquiries have been
received concerning 1t fro m all parts of
the country

ROBBED BY THEIR CASHIER.
Hammerslough Bros. Relieved of &c.
600 in Two Years.

New York. Dec. 23.-Harold C. Butt %
years of age, who for more than two
years past has been the cashier for Ham
merslough Bros, clothiers. at sos Broad
way. was a prisoner in the Tombs court
to-day, charged with embezzling $4,000 of
that firms money. Butt has never been
suspected of wrong doing and has been
implicitly trusted by the firm.
In the early part of this month the firm
began to take stock and generally inves-
tigate their affairs. The books showed
that they had $4,000 in cash in various
banks and the investigation revealed that
there was only $4,000 to their credit. 1t
was then found that Butt has been sys-
tematicaly altering the books for some
time past Butt refused to say anything
and pleaded not guilty when arraigned
before Justice Ryan. He was held in de-
fault of $1,000 bail for examination.

ures.
Niobrara, Neb., Dec. 2S-The suffering
among the inhabitants Of the draught-
blasted part of Nebraska including three
fourth of the residents of five counties.
is becoming more intense daily and imme-
date steps alone can prevent many deaths
from starvation. Three years ago the
farmers of these draught-bHghted coun-
ties raised a very light crop. and the past
two years the crops have been almost to-
tai failures. Many families have only
enough provisions in their homes for one
weeks sustenance, and no money to pur-
chase the necessities of life.
Many of the merchants here feel that
they have aided the poor farmers TO the
extent of their ability, and are unable to
do any more for them or to sell them
goods on credit. The sufferers cannot OBJ
tain employment, and unless they re-
ceive aid very soon, it is the general opin-
ion that many will starve to death, and
should the weather turn very cold many
will freeze to death, as it is a fact that
many are barefooted, and have scarcely
sufficient clothing to cover their naked
ness.
A mother and her two children were
found dead in their little cabin this week
1t is supposed the mother had been con-
fined to her bed by illness, and she and her
two little ones starved to death. The
stomachs of the children were op-
ened and not trace of food could be dis
covered.

"A BATTLE WITH A NEGRO.
He Is Finally Laid Low After Trying to
Kill Several Whites.

New Orleans. La. Dec 23-This after
noon in ST. Bernard parish, below this
city, negro named George King had
trouble with two other negroes at the
house of Mr.. Koste, prominent citizen
Of that parish and was ordered off the
premises by Mr.. Koste. King left after
making threats as to what he would do
and went to the house of his employer.
Soon after Mr., Koste came. along the road
leading past the house.
King meanwhile had possessed himself
of his employers shot gun and game bag
which, the sequel showed, contained
cartridges loaded only with bird shot.
Stepping out in the road, he spoke TO Mr..
koste, who was unarmed threateningly,
and presented the gun as if to shoot. A
constable happened to be passing and Mr..
Koste spoke to him to arrest King.
When the constable started forward to-
ward King, the latter backed, presenting
his shot gun at the constable. The con-
stable finally made a rush and King fired
both barrels, fortunately missing the Off
Ger.
King then took refuge in the barn. Sew
eral boys, attracted by the firing and ex-
element, came up TO the fence, when
King opened an indiscriminate fire on
them. He fired seven or eight shots, pain

men succeeded in making an entrance.
