Cloud of Uncertainty Still Hovers
over Business.
r. @. Dun & Co.'s weekly Review Of
Trade" New York says:
The cloud Of uncertainty does not lift as
yet. Strong confidence is expressed in
nearly all markets that trade must improve
with the new year, but II is yet too early to
expect important changes If they are really
on the way. In the main the conditions
continue unsltered. The proposal OF an
income tax is not calculated to inspire con-
Hdence. nor does It encourage hope that
uncertainty about revenue laws will be
speedily terminated.
Money from the interior still floods this
market, commercial inactivity causing the
amount OF idle funds TO swell beyond all
precedent and rates are so low that specula-
ton might be dangerously stimulated If O
feeling of hopefulness prevailed.
Thusit may be fortunate that diminished
earnings repress ardor in stock speculation
and heavy supplies In sight deter specula-
ton in products.

HELL LETT LOOSE
SO Says an English Lieutenant
of a Chinese Man-Of-war
REGARDING NAVAL BATTLE.
Fought ON July 25th Between
Chinese and Japanese
Men-Of-war.
Associated Press.

Vancouver, b. c., August 1S.-From
Asla'ic advices per steamer Empress OF
Japan, 1t was learned that bloody
battle between China and Japan was
fought on July Goth at Seikan. There
were 5000 Chinese with forty cannon,
and $1,000 tJapanese engaged About
1000 were killed on each side and az
many more wounded by arrows and
bullets. The chinese at a sacrifice Of
several cannon and 300 wounded ON the
field. said to have afterwards been
butchered, retired to Kasu, where they
fortified themselves OH the Corean
ships. The Japanese army followed
them to Asan, where another battle
took place. OF this battle. no official
word can be gained. It is claimed
that Japan Is suppressing the news
owing to 1t stroops being defeated
Some newspapers say the Chinese
were reinforced by 10000 troops and
swept down upon the Japanese and
slaughtered them to man, In Japan
the postofices are being closed, and
all kilograms are overlooked. All news
papers are prosecuted that publish the
news Of the battles. The Chinese Her
victories by sea and land of late,
news Of which has been suppressed.
There have been naval engagements
between the two powers nearJenethaun
but not one little can be obtained of
any Importance Of the battle Both
Chinese and Japanese troops continue
to pour into Corea, and II Is expected
in a short time that the greatest bat
tie, numerically, Of modern times will
take place.
Yokohama NIppen says: on the 25th
Of July a naval fight took place at
Nanyang Bay. The ships engaged were
a second-rate China man-of-war and
second-rate Japanese man-of-war. The
former was victorious, and though rid
died with bullets and shot, and her
decks running with blood, chased her
foe out Of the bay. The latter being
faster, steamed away but at night
the Chinese war-ship approached under
cover Of darkness and the bloody con-
test was renewed by the light from
lanterns. The Chinese and Japanese
fought like demons. and the scene was
described by an English lieutenant on
board the Chinese ship as Hell let
loose and sea OF blood" Men fought
until there were not enough left to
work the guns. The ships shackled
and hand TO hand contest ensued.
When the japanese cried for quarter
there were but fifty abIe-bodied men
on board.

WHIT D0ES That NEHN?

II means just this. Hops are the
most prominent factor in the maxi
ing of honest beer. They possess
both sedatlve and tonic qualities,
that is, they will enable you to
sleep well (hence the hop-pillows of
our grandmothers) and they
strengthen your entire nervous sys-
TEN.
The early Romans ate the young
shoots of the hop plant just as we
do asparagus. When hops were
first used In brewing In Eng
land two centuries ago, strong
prejudice existed against the In
novaton, and parliament was peti-
TONED against the plant as wick
ed weed, that would. spoil the taste
of beer and endanger the people.
But that was hundreds OF years
ago.
Connoisseurs who have visited
Astoria admit that the beer brewed
by John Kopp at the North Pacific
Brewery actually contains the
greatest amount Of strengthening
power, the largest quantity of that
glutinous material which sticks to
your ribs, than any other beer
brewed on the coast, and that the
time will come when Astorians will
be as proud OF her brew as the
city Of Milwaukee is of hers.
