The Pride of China's Navy
Sunk.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-Tbe Navy
Department has an official seabfegfan
announcing that the Chinese baale-
ship Chen Yuen. the most formidable
vessel iu the Chinese Navy, was dam
aged by torpedo on leaving Wei-Hai-
Wei, the 18th instant. and was beached
and is now useless. Commodore Lin, in
command of the Cheu Yuen, committed
suicide after The disaster.
The Chen Yuen was magnificent
fighting machine very much after our
own battleship Maine. She was built
in Europe in 1882 and was Of 7,430
tons displacement. 1t would appear
from the brief statement of facts in the
cablegram that the ship fell a victim to
one of the torpedoes planted by the
Chinese themselves to guard the en-
trance to Wei-Hai- Wei. which was the
last Of the great naval strongholds Of
the Empire save Por: Arthur, now tot
teriug to its fall.
1t was as we'll that Commodore jim
committed suicide, for be would doubt
less have been decapitated as the re-
suit of his error. 1t is believed here
that this loss has deprived the Chinese
navy of its offensive power. There re-
mains the Ting Yuen, another powerful
battleship, and a few lesser ironclads.
but without the aid of the Chen Yuen,
they would hardly dare to: make an
offensive campaign, and probably will
remain in port to assist in the dehnse.

board to decide the question on an abb
stracs proposition of las. The board
is adheriog to the letter of section 1876

before them on appeal from the decis-
ions Of the county board of canvass
ers.'
The chairman announced that the
board would not consider any evidence
not submitted to the county boards
below OF any appeals, which did not
come up regularly from below.
Wheeler, Murray's attorney, claimed
that the Charleston Board had declined
to receive certain sfidavits bearing on
the protest in that county.
Col. Elliott stated that Murray
should have fled some sort of notice
Of appeal if be had any case.
After long discussion, the board
adopted the following resolution.
Resolved, That after hearing all
points and considering all papers pre-
sented in the case between Messrs
Murray and Elliott, it is the opinion
Of this board that the complaint has
not been sustained, and the case is
therefore dismissed:
In the case Of Evans vs. Latimer the

Flour was never cheaper and better

ATLANTA, Ga Nov. 21.-An im-
partant meeting Of cotton growers

Of Georgia. to call county and State
conventions for the election of delegates
TO an interstate convention to be held at
. time aud place to be agreed upon by
che committee.
Mr.. Roddey's plan as explained by
him, is to form a combination of the
cotton growers with capital of $780,.
600, 900 or 100000. 900. Each cot
ton proaucer is to contribute one bale
out Of every Eve made to the trust.
Estimating the crop at 5000. 600 bales,
this plan would stock the trust With
1900, 900 bales. the withdrawal OF
which from the market, it is urged will
appreciate the price 25 per cent. One
general Office is proposed with branch
Offices and warehouses at all cotton re-
ceiviog poiots. The gins 10 every

duction aud to regulate the supply of
cotton.
In regard to the management Of the
company. it is to have enc general or

from each cotton growing State; have
one Office in each State with one direc-
tor from each county 10 that State and
have sub-ofices in all the principal

company organized, or the present com
panies brought to low rate; let com
pany warehouse receipts be issued with

needs money, let the company advance
him 6ve-eights or two thirds of the
value of his warehouse receipts.
