The CHINESE NAVY CRIPPLED.
Japan Gains Decisive Victory
Over Their Opponents.
several Chinese Vessels Sunk and 1900
Mon Killed and Wounded-The jap
anese Lose Was 1.OO0-Two of the
Chinese Ships Ran Aground and Were
Easy Victims.

LONDON, Sept. ia dispatch to the
Central News from Shanghai, dated
September 10, midnight, says: IA num-
Der OF officers who were engaged in
the naval battle on the Yeu river have
arrived at Port Arthur with half a
dozen warships badly damaged and
filled with wounded men,"
The dispatch states that the Chinese
Admiral Ting's feet left port on
Friday evening to convey seven steam
transports conveying q large force of
troops. A mum Der of Europeans, in the
service OF the Chinese admiralty, ac-
companied the troops, which were to
be landed near Wipi, from which point
they were to be sent to the front.
These troops comprised some artillery,
out were mostly composed of infantry.
Nothlng was seen Of the enemy until
the chinese fleet reached the mouth OF
the Yalu river, when q feet OF Japanese
warships was sighted. Thereupon the
transports were hurried forward and the
Warships were cleared for action. The
efforts OF the transports to land the
troops were successful, and most of
mem were gotten ashore before the
naval battle began.
The Chen Yuen was the first vessel to
open fire, and was soon engaged with
two Japanese warships OF about the
same size, one of which ia supposed to
have boon the cruiser Chiyoda. Soon
all OF the vessels OF both heets were
engaged. The Chinese cruisers, Chin
Yuen and King Yuen were sunk, and
600 officers and men on board of them
were drowned, Only few OF the men
struggling in the water were picked up.
The Chao Yung and Yang Wei, in
handwriting for more advantageous po-
sitions. got into shallow water and ran
aground. The stranded vessels were
helpless under the fire of the big guns of
the Japanese ships and were finally set
on fire by tho enemy's shells and became
wrecks.
1t Is feared that some of the trans
ports ships were sunk, including one
whose troops had not yet been landed.
The Chinese loss Is estimated at 500
killed and wounded, and the japanese
loss Ia supposed to be 1000, but none of
the Chinese officers giving accounts of
the baltic knows the names or size of
the four vessels Of the enemy which are
alleged to have been destroyed.
Taking the Chinese best view of the
battle 1t is plain that the encounter has
resulted In seriously Gripping the naval
strength OF China

ton was demanded, but just at this
juncture it was developed that the BIZ
metallist element had o minority re-
port with which to oppose the free
silver plank, and another war of words
was in order.
BY this time the convention was
clamorous for vote. Bimetsllism was
buried and free silver proclaimed victor
ious by 46s to 319.
On the senatorial issue motion to
simply declare in favor of the election Of
United States Senators by direct vote

WOMEN CLERKS NOT WANTED.
Treasury Department. Officials Prefer to
Have Male Assistants.

WASHINGTON, Sept 10-The largo
number OF women clerks dismissed out
right in the Treasury Department dur
ing the past few days has attracted con-
siderable attention hero. 1t is said to
mark new policy in Treasury appoint
ments in the future. OF the clerks so
tar discharged fully fve-sixths have
been women clerks of the high salaried
grades. The vacancies created by the
discharges Of the women will be filed
by appointing or promoting men to the
places.
The flood tide of women clerks in the
Treasury has been reached, and hence
forth it is said that men will usually be
appointed to the higher places. Some
divisions are said to be seriously Grip.
pied from the heavy preponderance of
women clerks, and in some rooms where
the ledgers are very heavy they have to
be lifted into place and shifted as occa.
sion requires by the men in the office.
AS rule, it is said, the women clerks
are absent on account of sickness much
more than mon clerks. which has had a
potent influence in causing the change
OF policy as to appointments now being
inaugurated.

TILLMANITEs CARRY EVERYTHING.
Proceedings OF the South Carolina State
Democratic Convention


COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 19.-The State
Democratic convention was called 10
order at 10 to-day by Senator Irby.
chairman of the executive committee.
over 800 delegates were present, every
county being represented. A largo ma.
jority are Tillmanites. only one delega.
tioh, that from Charleston, being CON
servatives. A new constitution of the
party WAS adopted, which provides for
direct primary for every candidate
for any office from coroner up.
The platform indorses the Ocala plat
form, as we'll as the Chicngo platform;
demands the free coinage Of silver at q
ratio Of 16 to l. and indorses the dis
pensary law as the best solution of the
liquor question.
One section OF the pla 5form, as at first
drawn: which denounced President
Cleveland for failing to carry out the
platform of the party and for prostitu.
ting Congress by patronage to carry out
his policy, WAS finally killed, and no
mention Of the President or the National
Administration was made. The Charles.
ton delegation tried hard to get the
convention to como out squarely on the
Democratic platform and denounce the
Populist, but their efforts were defeated
ny OIL overwhelming YOt6.
The convention then nominated John
Gary Evans for governor; w. II. Tim
norman, eutenant-governor; w. Il.
G. Bates, treasurer; o. w. Buchanan.
attorney general, and took recess un-
til g. 80. The nominees are all Tillman-
ties and had no opposition.
The Charleston delegates announced
that they would not support the nomi
nees because they were not on a true
Democratic platform. They were
missed and jeered and started to leave
the room. but for some reason did not

On the convention reassembling bal

State, D. Fl. Thompkins, at present
Iillman's private secretary; for comp
troller, James Norton, now chief clerk
In that office; for adjutant and inspec-
tor general, John Gary Watts for sup
erintendent of education, w. D. May.
held, present incumbent.
The convention was harmonious, but
the balloting took some time owing to
the fact that there were several csndi.
dates for each OF these offices. The
convention concluded it's labors by nomi.
mating W. D. Evans, II. r. Thomas and
d. q. Wilborn as railroad commissioners.
John Gary Evans and other nominees
addressed the convention, after which
it adjourned sine die.
The anti-Tillman committee, in view
OF the fact that the convention fail to
unequivocally denounce Populism, has
called their convention to reassem BILE in
this city on the 25th instant for the pur-
pose OF placing ticket in opposition to
the one nominated to-day.

National League Standing.
THE FIGHT FOR THE PENNANr.
Chances are All in Favor of Baltimore
Securing the Prize.

Securing the Prize.
The national league baseball season
ends on September 80, and 1t looks as
though the clubs will then stand just
as they do to-day, though st. Louis
and Cincinnati may exchange places,
as the former is now playing winning
ball, having beaten the Bostons three
straights.
1t is certainty that Baltimore and
New York will occupy the two highest
places when the season closes, and then
play series Of seven games to ascer-
tain which shall hold the Temple cup
for the next twelve months. Three Of
the games will be played in Baltimore,
three in New York, and as the donor of
the cup Is resident of Pittsburg, it is
very likely that the remaining game
will be played in that city. In these
Temple cup games the proceeds will be
divided equally among the players of
each team, and rs they are sure to at
tract large audiences, It will be q mat.
ter of considerable Importance to each
player.
Both baltimore and New York are
now, and have been for some time,
playing in the West and winning al
most every game. Baltimore has vet
w PAoJt tdiCO OhCu WIFI
st. Louis and Cleveland and two with
Chicago. New York has nine games,
three each with Pittsburg, Louisville
and Cincinnati. Should New York win
all OF these games they would have a
percentage OF $50, as against Bslti-
more's present figure of 692 II Balti-
more wins one-half Of tho games yet
to BIO played and New York loses two
of the nine games, Baltimore will win
the pennsnt by six points. New York
cannot possibly beat Baltimore by
merely winning games, and their only
hope Is that Baltimore will 'fall down,
but in this it is more than likely that
they will be disappointed, as Baltimore
is lighting pennartwnrd with two side
wheels and sail in perfect working
order.
1t ia pretty good guess that New
York will win all OF their games with
Louisville and Cincinnati as these
two teams have been greatly weakened,
but they will have hard fight to win
the majority Of their games with Pitts
burg, as the latter Is not only very
strong club, but they have but little
love for NevS York and will do all they
can to down the Giants st. Louis and
Cleveland have been dead easy" for
Baltimore this season. and they have
more than held their own against Chi
cago, So it looks like the bunting will
hoat over Union Park in Baltimore dur
ing To summer of.lS95.
