JAPANESE CONFIDENT.
They Are Meeting with Little Resistance
and Will Steadily Press Forward.


London, November II. The Central
News correspondent at Toxic says: "a
special steamer arrived at Hwand Chu
with dispatches as to the course of the
war in Corea. Kinchow was taken by
the Japanese November 4th. The resis-
tance of the Chinese was feeble. After
the victory, the first division joined the
second division in investing Taken
Wan. In the evening of the next day fire
was opened on the Chinese position, and
on the 9th the works were carried with
rush. The garrison of 5000 men hardly
waited to resist the attack. In the con-
clusion of the fight the Chinese lost
some so men kill ed and wounded. The
Japanese loss was two killed and ten
wounded. From Talien Wau the first
and second divisions started for Port
Arthur, which they are confident of can
turIngHit within week." -
The Central News correspondent in
Shanghai says the board of foreign
affairs is appealing again to the minis
ters of Great Britain and the United
States, who are believed to have suxQest1
ed that China treat directly with Japan.
1t is regarded likely that the board
will adopt the suggestion. The report
that the court will leave Pekin is con-
frmed A state of siege will be declared
on the 18th.

Louisville, Novem ber 1O.-General Gas.
sius Marcellus Clay has secured license
to marry 15-year-old girl, and tonight
Is probably her husband. He lives ten
miles rom telegraph station, and as
no one from the neighboring town OF
Richmond cared to drive out there this
evening. it is not definitely known
whether the ceremony occurred.
He had made all arrange ments for
the ceremony this morni ing. County
Judge Chenault was engaged to per-
form the ceremony. today, but it is re-
ported tonight that he could not 60. He,
too, lives distance from town. 1t is
barely possible that General Clay's re-
latives may undertake to prevent the
marriage on the ground of his age and
mental condition, but it is a question
whether they will have the courage to
brave the old Lion of White Hail."
General Clay has been acting with un-
u ,ual &c -entr; ty for TWO years, and his
lately paced an armed guard around
White Hall. He fancies that he is being
pursued by enemies, and has picketed
and garrisoned his place to be prepared
for their coming. The knowledge of
this and General Clay's reputation for
courage has etfectually shielded him
from Intrusion for some time.
General Clay Is exactly "a years old
lie retains much of his physical and
mental powers, except that he has grown
very eccentric. The girl whom he ar
ranged to marry is an orphan, named
Dora Richardson.
She is barely Is years old, and has no
relatives except two brothers. Her
mother was run over and killed a year
ago near White Hall by railroad train.
and since then General Clay has taken
care of the daughter. He has been send
ing her to neigh boring school, and it
was known that he intended to educate
her. No one dreamed that he though
of marriage. Miss Richardson is said
to be rather pretty country lass, of
ordinary mental attachments. Her par
ents were very poor.
General Clay was accompanied to
town by neighbor, Henry C. Stagner,
who signed the marriage bond as Ken
tucky law requires. StagEer lives near
family is splendid blue grass estate,
ten miles from Richmond. 1t was
bought from the Indians by General
Clay's grandfather, and no other man
outside OF the Clay family has ever
lived on l..
Until about two years ago General
Clay still took an active part in politics
and made many Republican speeches.
Since then he has occupied himself in
writing an occasional letter to the
newspapers.
The fierce spirit he showed when he
became the first abolitionist of Kentuc-
ky, and took his life in his hands to go
upon the t mp is unchan ged. He on(e
was minister to Russia.
Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr., candi-
date for the Democratic nomination for
governor, is his nephew.
