MANSFIELD,

Judge Robinson gave his decision in the Mansfield contested election case on Tuesday. He finds that Ralph w. Storrs, the republiblican candidate for town clerk. was elected, and he orders the books and papers to be turned over to him. The dispute over the election is based upon two points: CD at the election last Octo- Der, the republican ticket had upon it a candidate for the office of treasurer of the local school fund. There was no fund &C., tually in existence and. the democrats claimed that the fact that 8 treasurer was elected under such circumstances made the whole ticket illegal.

The Marquis of Queensberry, whose name is annoyingly connected with all prize-fights on account of the governing rules which bear his name, is of the opin. ion that this manly sport has degenerated into gambling machine and has been rightly made disreputable and illegal. He disclaims the authorship of the Marquis of Queensberry rules, and says they were drawn up by John Chambers, editor of Land and Water, who died some years ago, and were brought to him for revis. ioa. He made two or three slight changes, and the rules were adopted and given his name, which they still bear without his authority. The Marquis of Queensberry believes in "the manly art' of self-defence as "a noble sport when privately and quietly conducted, and as one which does more to develop the chest, quicken the eye and make man courageous than any other exercise" He is of opinion that this form of exercise has seen it's day on account of the use gamblers have made of it.

New York World: The turbines oi the Niagara Falls Paper Company are now turning in earnest, and the $500 horse power developed from the vertical shafts from the depths of 165-foot wheel-pit is turning the pulp-grinders ot the greatest paper-making machines on the American continent. The official test of the wheels was made Thursday, and since then small army of workmen have been making the shaft connections and arranging the gearing to the various parts of the big mill. When the word was giv- en to start the wheels they began to do their work magnificently. This is the first development of Niagara's great tun- nel-power, and the big turbines have proved great success in every particu- lar It was fascinating sight to see the ponderous machinery turn, as if it were mere child's play for it, and set the vast network of shafting, covering miles of space, whirling without jar or friction It is great achievement for the Niagara Paper Compeny. There remains now only the opening of the general power house, where 5000 horsepower turbines will operate 5000 horsepower electric generators for the transmission of power by electricity. This opening will take place June 1, and the event is to be cele- brated by savants, engineers and state officials.

MONsoN.

There was a narrow escape from a fire at the residence of Ms. w. K. Flynt, Sunday evening. A silk shade three feet in diameter, attached to banquet lamp, caught fire and was extinguished with some difficulty. Miss Flynt was in the house alone at the time, and attempted to carry the burning shade to the door to throw it outside. It burned so rapidly that her hands were blistered and she was obliged to drop it. She then threw rug over it and succeeded in putting it out just as the wood work of the room was beginning to catch.

washington, Nov. 22.-The Chinese
have lost the most powerful vessel of
their navy, the great battle-shlp Chen
Yuen, which stood the brunt of fighting
ait Yalu. A cable was resolved from
the navy department today, which
states that the Chen Yuen, in leaving
Wei Hal Wei har'bor on the 31th inst,
accidentally strnck a torpedo. She was
beached, but rendered useless for lack
of docking facilities. In despair at the
catastrophe. the commander, Commo-
dore Lin, committed suicide.
The Chen Yuen was magnificent
fighting machine, very much like our
own battle ship Maine. She was built
in Europe in 1882 and was Of 7450 tons
displacement 1t would seem from
the facts in the cable that the ship fell
a victim to one of the torpedoes plant
ed by the Chinese to guard the entrance
Of Wei Hal Wei, which was the last OF
the great strongholds Of the empire to
save Port Arthur now tottering to its
fall. 1t was we'll that Commodore Lin
committed suicide, for he would doubt
less have been decapitated as result
Of his error.

TO ARRANGE A SETTLEMENT.
China Sends a Representative to Japan
for that Purpose.


for that Purpose.
Washington, Nov. PA cable from
Shanghai states that a representative
of China has gone to Japan to arrange
for settlement of the war.
The advance on Port Arthur is re-
garded as having an important bearing
on the peace negotiations. Lieut. MI
yoga, a naval attache of the japanese
legation here, says the advance move
ment has been most cautious, as the
ground for forty miles around Port Ar
thur has been found fairly alive with
powder mines connected with electric
wires to Port Arthur.
Three days ago the Japanese were
within days march Of the fortress,
but it was necessary to send ahead a
small scouting party to pick the route
away from the mines and electric wires.
The regular roads cannot be used for
artillery as it would have been blown
have had to be moved in circuitous
routes, through the woods and mo-
rasses It is regarded as likely that
this cautious march will have been
completed today, and the Japanese le>
cation is hourly expecting word that
a decisive blow has been struck, though
a long siege may be necessary, as the
fortress has one Of the strongest de-
fenses of modern times 1t is believed
that the Japanese success will likely
close the peace negotiations, but that
a repuIse would impel China to hold
off for further results.

Twice Japan's War Debt.

Twice Japans War Debt.
Washington, Nov. 22.-In accordance
with the suggestion Of Japan, the state
department has notified Ministers Dun.
at Toxic, and DENLY, at Pekln to trans
NIT direct any offer that China may
wish to make Japan. The Chinese
delegation here are not notified as to
what course the government will take.
The Associated Press cable from Japan,
however, states that China has inti-
mated willingness to pay an indem-
nifty Of 1O0,OOO,0OO taels, and in addition
all the war expenses incurred by Japan.
AS the war expenses reach 150,00O,0O0
taels, the total offer of China would
be 250.O00,000 taels. The tael is a Chin
csc silver coin worth about rs cents at
present exchange. 1t is believed here
that arrangements between the two
nations could be effected on terms
providing for a smaller indemnity Dip
lomats say under ordinary circum.
stances that it would take some time
for China to formally present its offer,
but as the japanese are now at the
walls Of Port Arthur, and about to
make the last blow at Chinas greatest
fortress. It is anticipated that China
may hurry negotiations to a conclusion.
It is expected that Minister DENLY will
transmit his offer by telegraph TO Tein
Tsin and Shanghai, and thence by eas
BILE to Yokohama.
