LONDON, Sspt. H. A dispatch from
Shanghai dated September iG;h says
news has reached Tien Tsin that ilset
OF 81 Japanese transports, conveying
0000 troops, sailed a few days ago from
a Japanese port. 1t supposed II IS the
intention OF the Japanese com mande- TO
land his forces at some point on the Chr
nese coast. The Chinese nSe.. rnder
command OF Admiral Ting, has sailed
south for the purpose OF interceptiuz the
Japanese. Orders have been cent 70 all
Chinese ports to maintain most careful
watch for the approach Of the enemy. i
BOUND FOR cnEMuLPo.
A later Shanghai dispatch says adviceH
have been received there from Nagasaki,
showing that number OF Japaneso
ships. conveyed by men OF war. have'
left Heroshima, island of Hondo, bound
for Chsmulpo. Corea. These probably
are the vessels above mentioned as be-'
ing bound with Japanese forces for
China. Doubtless exaggerated news o.
tho vessels was received in Tien Isins
and it was taken for granted the destina-
tion of the army waa China and its OBJ
iect the capture of some port which
could be used as the base OF operations
| for future movements.
II ia now admitted the Chinese vera
defeated, with a loss OF 500 men, in an
engagement which took place on An.
gust 1st.
THE vICERoYs CALLED DOWN.
A dispatch to the Standard from Ber-
lin says Prince Wing, head OF the for
eign Office at Pekin, has induced ths
emperor to issue decree ordering that
henceforth no Chinese viceroy shall
NEEDLE in foreign affairs. The viceroya
have been informed that the foreign
I I3poiicy will be conducted in the futpxe
exclusively by the foreign Office. This,
it is added, ia unpleasant for Ii Hung
! Chang. The viceroys of Nankin, Man.
chooria and Caehgar have all interfered
more or less in such matters.
The dispatch further says the emperor
has received many letters from CoreAn
noblemen and generals assuring him Of
their undiminished fidelity, despite the

The county campaign opened
Yesterday, when Mr.. A. b. White,
the Democratic candidate, and Mr.
E. c. Orear, the Republican candi-
date for County Judge, spoke at
the Court House. Mr.. Orear made
a lengthy speech in which he floun-
dered around with apparently nc
purpose or point. There was
nothing in the speech, except the
insinuation he tried to make to the
effect that something might be
wrong in the management of the
county affairs land for which
statement he was most promptly
and effectively called to terms by
Judge Apperson, the County Judge,
as promptly and as emphatically
recalling his insinuation, and the
further Billholt dodge that there
is no politics in the office anyway,
and, therefore, Democrats ought to
vote for him because he had been
raised a poor boy. Mr.. Orear will
have to do better than his opening
speech in the campaign promises,
if he expects the people to listen to
him. Mr.. White replied in good
speech in which he defined his po-
sition, as the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party, and planted himself
squarely on his record. Mr.. White
scored Mr.. Orear in his speech
and made some remarks that evil
IDENTIFY cut TO the quick, for when
Judge Apperson, after the conclu-
sion of Mr.. Whites speech, had
hurled back at Mr.. Orear his insin-
uation that something might be
wrong in the management of coun-
ty affairs, Mr.. Orear jumped up
and made attack upon Mr..
White instead of devoting himself
to Judge Apperson, further than to
make the statement that during
Judge AS administration, all had
been straight and clean. The cam
paign has opened with indications
that it will be q warm one.

Owens Wins.

The great fight in the Ashland
District was concluded on Satur-
day, when the party declared for
Mr.. w. G. Owens for Congress.
This has been bitter and relent-
less fight, and will be long remem-
bered for the antagonism engen-
dered. On the one side was Col.
W. G. P. Breckenridge, one of the
most brilliant men in the nation
and man who had tied himself
to his people in way that, not
withstanding all the fragrant sins
he had committed against society,
even to the extent of dragging his
own and his districts reputation
into the very mire, they could not
and would not forget the service
he had done. Against Col. B.
were arrayed two brilliant men,
whose followers were avowedly in
favor of any one to defeat the
"arch sinner" Against all the
odds Col. Breckenridge still stood,
and bringing all the powers of his
mighty intellect into play, fought
battle that for undaunted cour-
age and unbounded audacity has
been unequalled in the history Of
politics in Kentucky. He of the
"Silver Tongue" goes down only
because he had pulled the house
down about his own head, and he
was not able to rear it again. The
defeat of the man is triumph for
morality. 1t is notice served on
our public men that they cannot
lightly disregard the laws of God
and man and expect to have their
transgressions lightly passed over.

Mt. Sterling is the cattle market
of Kentucky. Formerly cattle
brought here from Eastern Ken
lucky were low grades, but now
they are high grade and come in
good condition. Monday there
were buyers from Fayette, Mich
olas, Bath, Bourbon and Clark and
of the 1000 head of cattle on the
market. Nearly all were sold at
good prices, both the buyers and
sellers being in high spirits. Be
sides the crowds here to buy stock
the town was well filled with peo-
pie who made our merchants hap
ply on account of the business
which was done with them.
Another thing which adds to the
business Of Mt. Sterling and draws
merchants from all over Eastern
Kentucky, is the drummers which
have headquarters and sample
rooms here representing harness
and saddlery, boots and shoes, dry
goods and notions and clothing.
Our own wholesale grocers take
care of them in their lines, which
are large and complete, and from
which they sell as cheap as in any
other market. The hard times long
talked of is fast passing, and Mt.
Sterling has on her accustomed
business air.

To your minds the fact that I'm poor;
How under Henven is friendless man
Ever ON earth to tide DER

Or appease the temper of Fate, whose wrath
Is soaring and seathing his soul,
Till it sometimes seems the heavens above
love,
And hidden the path to each goal.

Or put up story and ask for bread,
As the beggar is want TO do;
Nor is 1t charity ask, indeed,
