AGAINST PULLMAN.
Petition to Declare its
Charter Void.
Corporation Said to Have Usurped
Power.

Attorney General Maloney Of Illinois has
filed in the office Of the circuit clerk of Cook
county at Chicago ILL.,, a petition coverin
sixty pages OF type written egal-cap pape
asking for bill in equity against the Pull
man Palace Car Company, and eating upor
bited from doing further business under tn,
laws Of the State. 1t is charged by the At
torney- General that the Pullman Company
Is doing score OF things in its corporal,

lied to do. Its right to own and maintain
the big Pullman building OH the lake from
in which the head quarters Of the Departmen
OF the Missouri OF the United States army is
situated IL directly attacked. 1t is fur
ther charged that in violation OF law the
Pullman Company IS operating enterprises
including theatres. hotels water works, cleo
tric light plants, and gas works; that it is
conduLdng real estate enterprises by building
owning, leasing, and renting dwelling
houses, and that by engaging in one or all Of
these enterprises II Is exceeding the power
and authority conferred upon 1t by the act o
legislature under which 1t is operating. The
company, the Attorney-general says. prac
tical!y has usurpcd all the powers and func-
tons OF municipality. The making aud
selling Of gas. the establishment of water
works, and all the powers usually attaching
to cities have been assumed, it is charged,
without warrant or authority oflaw. Another
thing attacked is the ownership OF stock in
the Union Foundry and Pullman Car Wheel
Works, its charter according to the petition
giving it no power to own stock In other
corporations. 1t is charged that the Pullman
company furnishes power to the Allen Paper
Car Wheel Works, which is no part OF the
business OF IA company Incorporated to con.
struct and run railway cars.
Mr.. Pullman has made up his mind to evict
his striking tenants from their houses. The
reason Is that the houses are needed by new
workmen who have taken the places of strik.

At WE|-HA|-WEL,
Japanese Are Repulsed
by Chinese.
Compelled to Retire After an OBJ
stinate Struggle.

The Japanese have made a second attempt
to disperse the Chinese fleet at Wei-lIai- Wei.
on the Chinese coast, and to thus gain access
to the port. After an obstinate fight they
were compelled to retire. No details of the
losses of Chinese or Japanese in this or the
last naval encounter can be obtained at this
time. A japanese fleet attacked Port Arthur.
the station of China's Pe-wang squadron,
The Japanese bombarded the town heavily,
but were unable to gain any advantage.
Eventually they were forced to draw on.
Their losses have not been ascertained in
shanghai. A stubborn fight between Japa-
nase warships and part OF the Pri-Wang
squadron is reported to be In progress.
Twenty-one large men-of-war and many
smaller craft are engaged. The Japanese
are reported to have lost heavily, although it
is not known that they have lost any OF their
ships. There is no news to indicate which
fleet has the advantage.
Great Britain has notified the cOmhatants
officially that warfare within the limits OF the
water approache, to Shanghai was precluded
by Japan's promise not to attack the port
and China's reciprocal promise not to OBJ
struct waterways leading to 1t. These prom
ises, the British notes added, would apply
to the approaches used by all vessels coming
from either north or south. English sympa-
thy continues to be manifested on the side Of
China but Russia is held under great sus-
piciOn.
Late mail advices from Pekin make clear
that the young Emperor is assertint himself
in every possible way against the influence OF
the Dowager Empress and Lii Hung Chang.
He recently assumed the power to maze all
important appointments, aud has been very
severe In the punishment OF official corrup-
ton. A despatch from Shanghai says that
$4,000 Japanese who were landed At Fusap
and 900 more who were landed Mt Gensan are
marching toward Seoul. The two forces
will meet at some distance from Seoul and
then effect junction with the Japanese
troops already In the Seoul district. This
combined army is expected to operate against
the Chinese army coming downthe PENN ula.

wears. 1t would be- OF .mcrse service to
Russia in war with En.t,an' In this situ
alton lies the reason OF highlands present
anxiety and enmity to the Japanese cause.
She is most eager to prevent Japan from Civ
ing Russia an excuse for interference. Tne
influence OF the war on the silver market
has been slight so far, although on the Lon
don Stock Exchange the silver price IL ex-
pected to rise eventually on the strength OF
China's and Japan'S demands for ships and
war material from Europe and America. 1t
has boen remarked In the last few days that
China has bought considerable silver for de-
livery at the end Of the year
