JAPS IN PORT ARTHUR
Stronghold Surrendered After a
Brisk Bombardment-Other
Chinese Losses.
Bu Coblc to the United presa.

LONDON, Nov. II. 1S94-A despatch
from Shanghai to the Central News, un-
der .today's date, says it is reported there
that Port Arthur was taken by the
japanese yesterday without resistance.
The japanese, after bombarding the
place for a short time. made a land
assault upon the enemy's works, when
the Chinese surrendered. The general in
command and the other chief officers of
the Chinese forces at Port Arthur had
abandoned the forts on November and
disappeared.
A portion of the Chinese fleet is at
Taku. Several European Ministers are
preparing to leave Pekin.
The correspondent of the Central News
at Toxic gives the following additional
details of the capture of Tahen-Wan by
General Oyama:-Six forts, placed in
strong positions on Talien-Wan Bay,
mounting eighty guns of various sizes
and patterns, together with all their
stores of ammunition, etc, were cap
tured. The narrowest part of the land
at TaHen-Wan is seven miles wide. This
strip of land was fitted with network
Of telephones and other advanced sys-
TENS of communication. and the place
was protected by powerfully arranged
batteries and other defences against a
sea attack. General Oyama, therefore,
considered it advisable to make an un-
expected attack from the rear. and in
this he was completely successful The
demoralfzed enemy were routed in con-
fusion and panic.

ANTLERS, 1. T., Nov 12, 1ss4.-Great
trouble is expected n1omentarily up in
Cedar county, four miles from this place.
Last August some members of the Ma
tional party were killed in that county

camps and remained here. Some We're
afraid to return, and went to other coun-
ties. Last week the Nationals began
a camp meeting, and. several members of
the Progressive party came there and
took charge of the grounds and ran the
Nationals away. Yesterday nine men be-
longing to the National party left for
the camp ground with the full intention
of avenging the wrong done them. A
full blood Chsctaw came in late last
evening and said he heard much shoot
ing in the camp ground as he passed by
there. Three more Nationals in charge
of Shub Locks, left here at once when
they heard the news, besides others who
live close to the camp ground, and a
great battle is expected. All the parties
are armed with Winchesters and pistols,
and a deadly fight is inevitable.

HOW TO GROW BLANKETS.

A gentleman who came down from the
North Tuesday was overheard telling an
acquaintance of a curious thing over in
Bro-.dalbin.
Last winter" said the gentleman,
wv. H. Forbes kept a blanket ON his
horse nearly all the season. The blanket
was finally removed and laid away, but a
few days ago it was again taken out, and
Mr.. Forbes was amazed to find that
horse hair was actually growing all over
it, some of the hairs having attained an
inch and an inch and a half in length
The listener said .'Ratsp' but the mar
rator insisted that the story was vouched
for as an absolute truth by some of the
best citizens of Broadalbin.
The story suggests great possibilities
for the future. If a common horse blan-
ket can be successfully grated with the
hair of a horse, why can not the same
method be adopted by other animals, and
result In the creation of THE newly dis
covered process of sealslzin sacks, buffalo
robes and other furs of a marketable
value? There may be fortune in the
process for some enterprisnig man, and a
blessing in 1t, too, for the wild animals,
who would thus be able at the same
time to stock the market more abundantly
and perhaps so cheaply that everybody
might wear SealSlin.-Broadalbin Herald

AMONG THE HORSES.

NEW YORK, Nov, u, 1S94-The tenth
annual exhibition of the National Horse
Show Association opened at Madison
Square Garden this morning. The Car
den was very prettily decorated with
the yellow and black of the association
predominating, but the Stars and Stripes,
arranged in festoons. rosettes and rib
bons. and mounted upon handsome
stafs, help to adorn the arena.
Soon after the big doors were thrown
open people began to pass into the Car
den and take look at the stalls.
At Ii o'clock the horses were exer-
cised in the ring.
The judges will meet at o'clock this
afternoon and at that time the Horse
Show will open in earnest. The first
horses to pass the judges will be thirty
harness horses, class As, and they will
be followed forty minutes later by Ii

COL. STEVENS DETERMINATION
At this stage Colonel E. A. Stevens
entered the room and held few min

and Mr. Robert Davis.
To a question put by News" reporter
the Colonel replied
I'm going to have every box in the

The announcement settles any doubt
as to a recount.
MORE DEMOCRATIC GAINS.
The result of this mornings work
shows a distinct gain for O'Donnel and
Fielder. Some of the precincts gave
difference of a few figures either way
between the police reports and the tally
sheets. But in the First precinct of the
Third district marked gain to the
Democrats was discovered. The police
reports were O'Donnell, IT'S; Fisher, 1872;
Fielder, 175; and Frambaeh, 1872. When
the tally sheet was examined these were
the fgures:-
o'Donnell, 2eS; Fisher, 1o2; Fielder, 27s;
and Frambach, 1872; gain to Mr.. O'Don-
nell of 1888 votes and to Mr.. Fielder of
1874 votes. These gains with those of
Saturday mean jointly about 500 votes
to the Democrats.
The box from the Ninth precinct of the
Fourth district was then examined (Mr.
MeEwan's precinct and it was not lock-

officers did not think it necessary to send

BOARD OF oANVAssERs.
Declares McExan Elected by 296
Majority.

The usual chatter and racket marked
the proceedings of the Board of Canvass
ers this morning. Members imagined it
was a reunion to swap yarns and do
anything, in fact, but the business on
hand. During all the noise Clerk Grit
ten2 with his assistant, O'Mara, went
steadily ahead counting the vote for
Congress. and at Has he said that he
had finished.
Chairman Dede then sung out the
figures:-
McEwan, R., SOB.
Stevens, D., %, ,207.
'I therefore declare Mr.. McEwan elect
ed by 2s6 votes" Loud cheering from the
Republicans, with corresponding yelling
and hooting from the other fellows, some
of whom cried:-''Wait till we open the
boxes and then you will be in the soup. -
Republican ballot box stufing did
this" shouted another, and then some
asked what was the matter with Col
Stevens, which question was answered in
the usual way.
Order was at last restored and the
Chairman then announced the vote in
Bayonne for Congressman in the Eighth
district. It gave Fowler a plurality of
139 votes.
Then the canvass for the Coroner's
vote was begun, but brought to check
by Clerk Gritten saying that these re-
turns were deficient in Coroner's fig
ures:-

First, Sixth and Eighth precincts of the
Second district; First, Fourth and Sixth
precincts, of the Third; Eighth, tenth,
seventeenth and Eighteenth of the

trict; and Third, Seventh and Thirteenth

JBWELBR RooHATs ENTERPRISE.
He Places a Large Clock I'm Front of
HIS Store.

The absence of reliable town clocks
in the lower section of Jersey City, and
principally of busy Montgomery street,
is a matter to which Mr.. Rochat, the
Montgomery street jeweler, gave much
thought until he decided to contribute
at least one clock upon which the pc
destrian hurrying for ferryboat or
train could depend. In front of his large
store near Washington street stands
u handsome clock, resting upon pillar
20 feet high. For the past week a force
of men have been at work upon it, and
this morning they completed their labors
and the clock started on it's long mis-
sion. The clock was made expressly
for Mr.. Rochat by the E. Howard Com
pany of Boston, and is the largest and
best made by that celebrated concern.

put up and adjusted at the base of the
pillar, so that should any part become
out Of order it can be readily repaired

two feet in diameter, and the bright
