Completely Demoralized at Win by the

BY the United Press.
London, Oct. 25.--The force Of Japan
ese which crossed the river at Wi Ju
and defeated the Chinese was composed
entirely of rihemen. Earthworks had
been thrown up at Sukochin by the
Chinese, but slight deviation en-
abled the attacking force to cross the
river without hindrance. The Chinese
position was garrisoned with a small
force Of artillery and infantry, but they
fled after two or three rounds Of shots
had been fired
Count Yamagata, the Japanese COM
mander, in his report says: I'VE cap
tured the works with rush. A regi-
ment of Manchurian cavalry came up
as the enemy were driven from the
earthworks and covered their retreat.
The retiring force took refuge with the
Chinese batteries further down the riv-
er. throwing away their muskets in
their flight. Our advanced detaohments
now hold the fortlfoations erected at
Sukochin ferry by the Chinese.
"Pontoons have already been placed
in position at Modzu and all the men
and materials are ready for rapid ad,
vance. There are still many Chinese
troops In the batteries opposite Wi Ju,
but their number has not eenincreased
during the past week." The main
attack on the Chinese will be made be-
fore Sunday.

valley, His recent discourses, urging
the application of the Biblical laws
concerning unequal marriages ha8

havoc has been accomplished by the

idea of 'sanctification on earth" to the

to recognize his doctrine of sanctifica-

He bases his statements on portion

which reads: BE ye not unequally

with unrighteousness, and what COM

McCrory's Peculiar Reasoning.
On this text the divine descanted
very forcibly and fervently. Following
this base of reasoning he argued that
where a Christian and ungodly one
were so yoked together great sin was
committed and was repeated with
every exercise of the prerogatives of the
bond. These utterances created no
small sensation among DR.. McCrory' s
followers, who are implicit believers in
the doctrine he breaches, and the new
doctrine on intermarriages was liter

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. 25.
Governor Mckinley made his in
itial speech for Morton, Saxton
and the entire Republican ticket
for the Empire state at Dunkirk
this evening, and the event was signal
lied by the largest assemblage that
Chautauqua county has witnessed SINCE
that memorable 18th of May, 1852,
when Daniel Webster, upon the occa-
sion Of the opening of the Erie railroad,
delivered an oration that is still pre-
served among the classics of eloquent
speech.
Upon the stage, draped with the Stars
and Stripes, was a life size picture of
the speaker of the day, with the inscrip-
ton, "Our President, 1S96-19O0." When
Governor Mckinley was presented the
audience rose to its feet and cheered
again and again. The governor pro-
ceeded TO refer to an inscription on one
of the banners carried in the procession
that escorted him to the hall and which
read: Shingles have been made free,
but our mills have shut down" and was
emphasizing his argument that hun
dred dollars paid for foreign products
ment the loss of that much wages at
home, when a young man in the body
of the house rose and asked whether
the men thus deprived of wages could
not earn living at something else.
What would you put them atT' de-
manded the speaker.
PLENTY Of things" was the reply.
Put them at raising wheat" The
youth proceeded to say that his propo-
sition was that the natural resources of
the country had yet to be developed and
we could find market abroad for the
resources of this development. Cover
nor Mckinley then went on to make
his inquiry text. Our young friend
has been unfortunate in his argu-
ment," he said. There is nothing we
get abroad that we cannot produce
ourselves, thus employing labor and
putting wages in circulation"
Departure for Buffalo.
After leaving the opera house he
spoke at another meeting in Columbus
hall, which was also packed to the
doors. The departure for Buffalo was
made at s O'Clock, large crowd as
sembling at the depot to cheer and
shout Goodbye"
On his arrival in this city he was met
by a reception committee and escorted
to the Iroquois hotel. He was then
whirled away to Wasp hall, where he
spoke for twenty minutes to over 2,OOt
employees Of the bolt works, planning
mills, starch works and other indus
trial establishments. Then there was
race to the opera house. Here an
audience of 5000 impatiently await
ing his coming on the stage, while
thousands more were congregated out
side. When the governor appeared
upon the stage the vast audience yelled
and cheered for nearly five minutes
After speaking for over an hour he was

REED ON POPULISM.
VIII BE Brushed Aside by the Need Of
Natural Expression.
BY the United Press.


Minneapolis Oct. 25.-In his speech in
the Exposition building when 5000 peo-
pie crowded in to the auditorium and
as many more were turned away
Thomas b. Reed said: Nothing but
business uncertainty produced the dis
aster. For the next two years there
are two fixed facts: First, the presi-
dent and senate are Democratic, conse-
quently if the house is Republican, as
we expect to make it, it will simply
educate the people. The other fixed
fact is that the senate bill is a law.
Whatever good there may be in it will
be shown by trial.
81 am told you have not only the
Democracy to contend with, but also
with what are called Populists. In con-
gress we did not notice much difference
In all essentials these people ranged
themselves behind the Democratic
leaders in both house and senate. 1t
was thought we would have them in
Maine, and $1,000 was claimed for them.
They had 5000. The fact is, the people
are eager for a national expression Of
opinion, and will never be contented
to be balked of their verdict. Other
states have tried this Populism, and If
you wish to be thought of In the next
two years as Kansas and Colorado
have been thought Of, 1t would appear
to be strange spectacle, and es-
pecially after both these states will
have better sense this year"

Indianapolis, Oct. 25.-There were
two political riots here last night. j.
Milton Turner, negro Democratic ora
tor, was brought hare to address the
colored people Of Indianapolis at the
Yellow bridge. He was greeted by a
large audience. His remarks, however,
gave offence, and rush was made for
the stand. Turner was dragged down
and pounded in spite Of the squad Of
policemen present. Finally Turner was
dragged out of the hall and fed
toward the city under guard of the po-
lice. The angry negroes pursued him.
and came near killing him.
The other riot occurred at Amness
and Morris streets on the South Side,
where Allen Jennings the Populist, in
vaded a Democratic community. The
Democrats listened to Jennings until
he had heaped all the contumely he
could think of on the head Of Represen-
tative Bynum, when, at a signal, a
shower of eggs, stones and potatoes
was Tained on him. He escaped with
little injury. A number Of persons
were bruised by the stones, and one
little girl nearly killed, being badly cut
over the eye and on the top of the head.
