SHANGHAI, July 29.-Late this even
ing further details OF the naval engage
ment reached this city. Tho fighting,
though OF short duration, was very Sc
we're. One Of the Japanese war ships
got within a comparatively short dis
tance OF the transport kow Shing, and
discharged torpedo at her. A terrific
explosion followed, and the Kow ShiIg
began at once TO Gil.
Prior TO the discharge OF the torpedo,
the crew OF the transport which was
armed and the military force on board
Of her made hard Sight against the at
tacking force. Many OF those on board
OF her were shot dead on her deck.
When the vessel began 10 sink there
was great excitement on board OF her
In the confusion that prevailed no
attempt was made 10 lower the small
boats. But even had such an attempt
been made the boats could have carried
only small percentage OF those on
board.
Every foreigner on board the trans
port, which had been chartered by the
Chinese government from an English
company, was either killed 10 the fight
ing or went down with the vessel when
she ,foundered.
The loss OF life was very great. or
nearly 1000 Chinese troops on board OF
her, only forty were saved. They were
picked up by the Fresch gunboat Lion
that was cruising In the vicinity.

The Woman Who Has been Lecturing on

New YORK, July 29.-Miss Ida Il.
Wells, the advocate OF the rights OF the
colored people, and the agitator against
lynohlng, who has just returned from =
four months tour Of lecturing In Eng
LAID, spoke tonight at the Bethel A. NJ.
L. church.
She addressed 122 meetings In Eng
land, she said, and as a result an anti
lynching committee composed OF proml-
nent people were formed n each OF
these meetings. Resolutions were
passed urging the American public TO
abolish the barbaric outrage against
human life. Miss Wells said that the
people OF the South are as bitter against
the negroes as they were before the days
Of freedom.
"The lawless lynchings In the South
for alleged crimes against the whites
are in 90 cases ont OF hundred simple
outrages against our race. The press
ia in control OF the whites and the
attacks upon us are colored 10 suit
themselves.
"I, is our duty to see that every Nory
published from the South Of negro
accused Of some iendish act and lynched
for it, is run down by our detectives, II
necessary, and the other side OF II pub
lished. There are two sides TO every
lynching."

THREE TEAMS Want TR0Y'S PLACE

"A Good Deal

In the Eastern Base Bali League,
Franchise In Which seems to BE Worth
Good Deal
New YORK, July 29.-An Eastern
League franchise is valuable piece OF
property. This fact was established at
meeting of the directors and
managers of that association,
at Broadway Central Hotel this
afternnon, when three cities bid
strongly for the privilege OF taking the
place of the deiunct Troy team in that
organization. The result was q post
ponement of decisive action until the
Circuit Committee can Investigate the
claims of the applicants and choose the
most promising ones.
The meeting was called to order at
noon to-day by President Powers, five
clubs being represented. The delegates
were President Franklin, of the Buf-
falo club, President Bogert, Wilkes
barre; President Draper, Provt-
dence; Manager Burns. Spring
field, and Manager Kuntz, OF
Syracuse. Scranton, Pa; Johnstown,
n. Y, and Harrisburg, Pa, were repre-
seuted at the meeting and presented
their bids for the Troy franchise. Dis
patches were received from Rochester,
n. Y, and Toronto. Ont, asking for a
consideration OF their claims before
decision was made.
After a lengthy discussion it was de-
cided to refer the matter with power 10
the Leagues Cifcuit Committee, con-
sisting of Messrs. Powers, Burns,
Bogart and Franklin. The committee
will reach decision inside OF forty
eight hours, and it is gathered that the
sentiment Of the meeting favored Scran-
ton as being the stronger city. But the
better location of Johnstown, which
could take Trov's dates without a
change in the schedule, weighs in her
favor.
President Bowers states that the
present Troy players will be kept to-
gether until their successor is appointed
and then be free TO go where they
please. They will play at Providence
tomorrow, and Tuesday it is probable
that the new city will fill the dates at
Springfield the last -sli of abe week. -,
