THE JAPS AND THE JOHNS

LONDON, Aug. "a, 1S94.-The Central
News has advices from Shanghai to the
effect that Toxic despatch received
there states that a small detachment
Of japanese scouts met force of Chin
ese at chungho on the 18th inst, and
in the engagement that ensued five of
the scouts were wounded and a lieu
tenant was killed.
The same despatch says that a serious
battle is expected to occur daily.
A London news agency has received in
formation that the Chinese Government
has warned foreigners not to loiter on
the river near the Kiangnan Arsenal
or the imperial factory, at Shanghai,
under Pain of being arrested as spies
~ An imperial edict has been issued or
derng a hundred thousand Manchoos
and Pekingese to hold themselves in
readiness for war service. Regiments,
in accordance with this edict, viii be
placed at Tungchau Sanno and Tien-
Tsin.
The Empress has directed that the
sum of 12,0OO,00O taels be granted to
Iii Hung Chang, the Chinese Viceroy.
The dispatch from the Central News
from Shanghai stating that James Wylie
a Scotch missionary, had been murdered
by Chinese soldiers at Now-Chwang, is
confirmed by later adviees. These ad-
vices assert that the attack upon Mr..
Wylie was entirely unprovoked. The
missionary was dubbed, kicked and
stabbed to death in the public street,
A demand was made upon the authorities
that the persons concerned in the com
mission of the crime be turned over to
civil magistrate, but the officials refused
to surrender the guilty parties.
The British residents of Now-Chwang
will, it is stated, petition their Min
lister to send war vessel to the scene
of the trouble.
It is also asserted in these advices
that the report of severe fighting at
Ping-Yang is without foundation. The
only engagement that has occurred
there has been an attack upon a Japan
ese picket by a small detachment of
Chinese cavalry.

Some of the hymns of Bishop Arthur
Cleveland Coke, of the Episcopal Diocese
of Western New York, are found in the
of every religious body in
America" says the Christian Advocate
(Methodist), except in the official coll
lection of his own church. This is ac-
counted for by his too scrupulous mod

tee in 1869 and 1871 he refused to permit
the insertion of his own lyrics"

MANY MILLS AT WORK
Some at Reduced, Some at Full
Pay--Bosses See a Rising
Market.

!
FALL RIVER, Mass. Aug. a. 1884
The lockout in the mills of this city went
into effect just about as it had been pre-
dicted, with the exception of the Durfee
Mills. This corporation has been max
ing extensive repairs since May and will
continue them along until January at
least
One of these mills where repairs have
not been going on started as usual this
morning, and every loom that can be
run is in full operation. The operatives
are at work under the reduced scale of
wages that went into effect Monday
morning. The whole of the Ceaconnet
mill is also in full operation under the re-
duced scale. The Iron Works Mills, oper-
ating 800 looms, are running in full at
the old scale of wages. The Conanicut
mill is running also at the old scale. The
Barnaby mill is also running their looms
and the wages paid will be according to
a special schedule devised by the mill
e-utLoIltieS. Every OlHer Iillli III Town Is
shut down. There are some few mills
that may make repairs next week.
The operatives have begun to crowd
the streets in their best attire, and
their appearance is far from what might
be expected after reading theusual news
paper stories of misery and squalor in
the factory towns. The manufacturers
are still unable to say how long the cur
tailment will last or how far it can be
would be glad to open their mills tomor-
row morning were it not for the fact
that they have signed an agreement
binding them to accept the dictates of
"three-fourths of the spindles represent
ed'' by other signers. They are already
at work endeavoring as far as possible
to induce other mills to favor an early
resumption that will enable them to take
advantage of prices for goods that are
now tending upwards.
1t is reported by the brokers today that
offers of contracts for print cloths on a
basis of 3-4 cents, one per cent. add
ed, have been refused because the mill
men do not know how long they can
hang together The curious condition
exists here of two corporations running
in full at a ten per cent. reduction, and
two running in full on the scale of wages
The opinion is gradually gaining ground
that the management of the Globe Yarn
and Sanford Mills will not long remain in
their present position, but will endeavor
to take some means to meet their Gus
toners.
One of the largest manufacturers in the
city predicts that if the present condition
holds ten days the manufacturers asso-
citation will begin to dwindle in numbers.
He bases his predictions on the disaf-
fection now existing among the Brayton
interests, who are anxious to run along
as usual.
