TWO THOUSAND KILLED.
Japanese Eefeat the Chinese in a Blood.
Battle.

baLties
LONDON, Sept. IA dispatch re-
ceived here gives further details of the
capture of Ping Yang by the Japanese
forces After the place fell into the
hands of the Japanese strong party of
infantry and cavalry were assigned to
the duty of patrolling the town. A
search was made in houses for Chinese
soldiers and many were found and
taken prisoners.
When the Japanese troops made
their final assault several thousand Of
the Chinese defenders threw down
their arms and fled panic stricken to
the valley northward. The japanese,
however, controlled the entrance to the
valley and the fleeing Chinese found
their retreat in this direction cut off.
Whole regiments seeking to escape
from the victorious army were thus
compelled to surrender.
Over Two Thousand Killed.
It is now stated that the total num-
Der of killed will not exceed 1890.
The remainder Of the Chinese army,
some Is, 600 men, are either wounded
and in the hands of the Japanese, or are
pnhurt prisoners of war.
The emperor of Japan has telegraphed
congratulating the field marshal upon
the victory he has achieved over the
enemy. The field marshal has
issued an order in which he commends
the troops for their action.
The dispatch says the Chinese out
numbered the Japanese three to one.
The artillery was vastly superior to that
of the Chinese. The japanese flying
column is now pushing northward for
the purpose of securing the passes and
thus preventing the Chinese army from
marching within Korea

itY of legal Votes.
CINCINNATI, Sept 17.-The CONNER
cial Gazette's Lexington special says:
There seems to be no doubt about
Colonel Breckinridge making a fight
for the nomination before the district
committee. Breckinridge has made
public statement in which he says he
secured majority of the legal Demo
cratic votes of the district and fraud
was practiced against him in several
counties. The following is Breckln-
ridges statement:
THE Democratic committee OF the
district alone has the power to declare
who is the nominee, and until that
declaration is made no one is the NOM
inee Of the party, and when 1t IS made
I Will Loyalty submit to this decision
and support the person
Declared to BE the Nominee.
"Urder the law and under the rule OF
the party it alone has the power to as
certain which votes have been cast and
what votes shall be counted and what
declared to be fraudulent. No court
has any power over its action and l
would regret to see New York judicial
methods introduced into Kentucky
politics and plant judges corruptly CIV
ing their apparent sanction of the judi
cial proceedings to base methods. be-
heve that at least 500 illegal votes have
been cast against US in the county OF
Fayette, and perhaps nearly as many in
the county of Franklin.
81 shall make no frivolous contest,
shall raise 10 technical questions nor
enter into contest about doubtfal
points; but shall reserve until next Sat
urday the right to have such proceed
ings taken before the district committee
as will accord with my Judgment.
