BATTLE OF KASHAN.
THRILLING ACCOUNT OLA JAPANESE
ATTACK ON A CHINESE CAMP.

CHINA Unprepared for war, while
Japan Has All the Modern
Guns and Perfect
Discipline.

General 0shima is commander of the
Japanese forces in Corea. He is a regu-
lar Won Moltke. Fighting began at
kashan at 3 o'clock on the morning of
July 20 and lasted until o'clock. The
Chinese, numbering $4,000, were strong.
Iy intrenced at Shang Teng. They had
thrown up earthworks, which formed two
sides of triangle, and planted three
batteries of four guns each in advance.
In making the attack the Japs had first
to storm the point of this triangle and
TO force in the sides. Chinese and Jap
anese outposts began the fight, firing at
each other from long range with trifing
casualties. When the main body of the
Japanese advanced the Chinese made a
sortie and attempted to win by a sudden
rush. The center of the Jap force felt
the shock and fell back, whereupon Gen.
Oshima ordered up the battalions form.

PEELED the Chinese to fall back upon the
point of the triangle. Then the Mongo-
lians poured murderOus fire into the
Japs, killing about two score officers and
men. Under the combined fire of infan.
try and artillery the Japs were forced
back three times.
Meanwhile daylight came, and the Jap.
anese artillery was brought into play.
Within an hour two of the Chinese bat.
teres were silenced, but the third battery,
on the right, did some heavy work, and
kept the Japanese at distance until 8
o'clock. At this time general advance
was ordered by Oshima, and while the
TANKS captured two of the batteries the
center engaged the Chinese at the apex
of the triangle. First came rifle charges
at short range, which caused great
slaughter The Chinese resisted stub
bornly for an hour, during which 200
were killed and wounded.
Seeing themselves completely out
flanked, the Chinese fell back and re-
formed at the base of the triangle. Here
they engaged the japanese in bayonet
charge. They were completely routed.
At o'clock they were fleeing in disorder
to Hong Chow, where they intended to
get away in Corean vessels which were
anchored there. When Gen. Oshima's
report left for Toxic the japanese troops
were in full pursuit, and there is prob
ability that further fighting took place
in Hong Chow. Meanwhile Oshima
occupied the quarters recently held by
the Chinese in Shan Teng. His reports
showed that altogether the Chinese had
eft 500 on the field, dead and wounded.
One battery of four guns in perfect
order, was in the hands Of the Japs, !

though there is an inexhaustible supply
of excellent raw material in China.
In the army which Viceroy Ii Hung
Chang has sent TO Corea, no less than
eleven different patterns of rifles and
guns are in use, each requiring its own
ammunition, and the-confusior likely to
arise from such state of things is not
very difficult to foresee. In the same
manner experts in naval matters declare
that there is such hopeless confusion in
the general arrangement of the Chinese
men.of.war, and so many things of vital
Importance are found to be missing or

ment, that, despite their weight and vast

WORSE THAN SLAVERY.
Arkansas Covict Lease System a Dis
grace to Our Civilization.

Arkansas convict lease system
was little improved by the changes
made by the last Legislature. I'm
der lease, they are worked out in
different parts of the state, and OF
necessity are poorly provided for,
maltreated and worse than slaves.
1t is burning shame and disgrace
to our civilization. The state needs
not the 'blood money!" beaten and
shaved out of her convicts, and
every dollar they earn over and
above the expense of their keeping,
ought to be returned to destitute
families of the convicts.
The next Legislature should pro-
vide for new penitentiary, sufic
iently large, to work every convict
therein, learning each a trade as is
done in other states.
We are Glad to see Gov Fishback
take decided stand tor radical
change. A few days since he
said:
'This convict lease system is a
system of slavery and disgrace to
our civilization, said Gov. Fishback,
ut should be abolished, and I shall
Recommend its abolition in my
message to the legislature. The
most trivial cases are divided into
numerous counts and the Prescott
ing attorney gets $40 for each con-
viction. ] have heard of instances
in which convicts have served near
ly five years for petty crimes of
which they are only technically
guilty. In many cases it seems to
be only an effort on the part of GER
tain officers to pile up costs. 1t is
a subject that should be ventilated
and denounced as travesty upon
Justice. 1t is an outrage"
OUTSIDE SCHEMES.
The Clarksville Herald gives the
following interesting matter, bear
ing upon the question, showing up
different schemes;
We had an interview with the
Hon. E. T. Mcconnell, State Super
intendant of the penitentiary, a
few days ago, He makes rather
favorable report from Sunnyside,
the farm worked by convicts under
state control. The crop which j.
now being harvested as speedily as
possible is a good one as the cotton
was not damaged by the boil worm
only to slight extent.
For it's share of the crop the state
will receive over fifteen hundred
bales of cotton andseveral thousand
bushels of corn, but when the crop

any consequence will remain. The
farm with favorable conditions an6
seasons has proved to be a self-sus
tanning institution. We may imag.
inc what would have been the re.
suit with drought and otherwise
unfavorable season.
Mr.. Mcconnell, who is a close
calculator and a shrewd business
manager, is not favorably impress
ed with the plan of cultivatine
farms with convict labor; cit is a
somewhat hap.hazardous business,
says he, land the state can, if il
will, employ them where they will
become a source of revenue to the
state"
He thinks that if the state would
buy coal mine and put her con
victs to work in it, that they would
not only clothe and feed themselves
but turn over to the treasury q
handsome profit annually.
The convicts leased to the Spadra
mines this year, says he, have al
ready large sum placed to their
credit.
While Mcconnell thinks the min
ing system would beat farming
still he would not Recommend the
state to adopt it, for two consider
atoms First, there are several
serious objections to it. Secondly
there is another opening for con
yict labor, where they can be EN-
ployed more satisfactorily to the
people and with better results t.
the state.
His pet theory is FOR the state to
build a railroad with it's convicts.
He says the state could buy a farm
and place the old men and boy con
gicts upon it and raise a sufficien
quantity of bread and meat for tn
main body of convicts while the
build a railroad, and the road when
completed would be a source of rev
enue to the state for all time t.
come.
We have neither time nor spac
to enter into the full details of MI
McConnells plan. We presume h.
will give them in his annual report
We regard it however as the very
best solution that has yet been Of.
fered to the perplexing problem a,
to the proper disposition of convict
labor.
He suggests road running west
from Little Rock, throughP erryville,
Bonneville, and then on west until il
taps the Frisco south of Fort Smith
This route would probably be the
best that could be found and It
would open some of the very best
territory in the state. 1t would pass
through farm lands, the choicest in
the state, and through timber, the
very best in quality and almost in
exhaustible supply, while it would
tap the center of the great coal
basin of Western Arkansas.
No road in the state would return
larger dividends than one on this
line, and it unquestionably would be
a source of big revenue to the state,
Some will contend that the state
could not manage road so as to
make it paying institution. Other
states make roads pay, and why can
not Arkansas do the same2 Georgia
owns a road from Atlanta to Chatta-
nooga, about the length theproposed
one would be, and for twenty or more
years past that road has turned into
her treasury from two hundred t.
four hundred thousand dollars annu-
ally. Could not Arkansas manage a
road as well2

A FEW FA6TS.

We wish to state few facts, for the con-
Sideration Of the general public, and ask care
full perusal and consideration Of the same. We
believe the people want to sustain and keep up
a good newspaper in Texarkana.
Now for the facts as to the "Texarkanian:"
1t has by far the most complete printing
outfit the city ever had-inveStment is more
than double that of any other plant in the city.
With bran new body type, and latest styles OF
new job and advertising display type, best
presses, run by little gem Of gas engine, no
city of TeXarkana'S size in the South can show
better equipped office, nor turn out neater pa
per, or more stylish job work, at lowest prices.
1t employs, and pays cash, for more labor
than any other office in the city. Five or six
families derive a support or revenue from It's
income. Its monthly expense account most OF
which stays in TeXarkana foots up from $500
to $3.50 per month. II is a live, progressive
newspaper, outspoken for right. Democratic
to the CORE reserves the privilege of censur-
ing wrong in it's own party as well as out OF 1t.
It gives daily nearly double as much inter-
esting reading matter as any other paper IN tne
city, and is by far the neatest paper ever gotten
out here---so dozens Of citizens have told us.
Its job department is the best equipped in
Southwest Arkansas or Northeast Texas. Any
and all classes Of job printing done to order,
equal to st. Louis, and prices in competition
with the world Satisfaction guaranteed in ev-
cry instance. Bring us your job work.

CONCLUSIONS.

New for conclusions: Having invested our
money and given our entire time to the upbuild-
ing Of such paper, and constantly laboring for
the best interests Of Texarkana, can we not rea-
sonably ask for an increased public patronage?
That many who should do so, do not advertise
advertise nor give us their job work is a painful
fact. Now, try us and see If you wont get 'val-
ue received in every instance.
