HoIman's Fate i'm the Balance.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Aug. N.-The night
before the Democratic congressional con-
vention finds the hotel Hobbies and the sa-
looms filled with delegates and friends of
Frank j. Hall, of Rush county. and Con-
gresham William S. Holman. A careful
review of the situation on the eve of the
battle d~iscloses nothing definite as to the
outcome. The Holman men are here in
force, and they declare that there Will be
but one name mentioned in the convention,
although a few of them are a little wor-
ried over the anti-Holman circular. They
realize that while it is anonymous and not
worthy Of any credence, it is likely to do
their cause considerable injury, because
some of the charges made against Holman
are true. The antl-Holmanites are very Bit
ter in their denunciations, and will make a
strong effort to make a big show in the
convention. Halls name Will be presented,
and he will get the solid delegation of his
own county. Rush, and may divide the vote
of several others. They claim that Holman
hasn't a single county solid in the district.
One of the foremost politicians of the dis
trict, and a man who has been opposed to
Holman for years, remarked in the hotel to-
night:
"Holman's been there for thirty years,
and every time he asks for just one more
term. He'll be after the nomination until
II death dIlSei ais MIN away. dnu GnSn
il he don't happen to leave a will We'll be
in a bad fix. Every county in the district
will have men in training. and there'll be
an awful hot fight for the place. Nobody
knows whether he's made a will or not. or,
if he has, who is to be his legatee. He's
promised so many different men that he'd
retire and support them next time that
some one is sure TO be disappointed"
Many of the men who are here tonight
working for Holman are really against him
at heart, but they fear if they make the
break some of the other fellows who have
congressional aspirations will get ahead Of
them. That fact has prevented the district
from retiring the able Representative long
ago. John r.. Cravens had him beaten in
1886. but his rivals hoped that it would be
Eolman'S last term, and, by staying with
the old man, they could receive his sup
port.
In the joint Representative contest be-
tween Marion and Shelby counties it had
been conceded that Shelby should have the
nomination and they had picked on VIII
liam II. Isley, a leading attorney of this
city, but 1t seems the saloon and brewery
interests will want legislation in their IA
vor from the next Legislature. and Mr.. Is
ley has refused TO allow his name TO go be-
fore the convention. Shelby county will
present the name of John w. Vannoy, ex-
Mayor of this city. Mr.. Vannoy has for
years been identified with the saloon inter-
ests, and will probably be the nominee

JAPANESE DEFEATED
ROUTED BY CHINESE At PING YANG
AND CHANG HO.
Heavy Losses Alleged to Have Been
Innicted-General Yeh Not Killed
as RumOred.

LONDON. Aug. 22.-The Times has re-
ceived the following dispatch from Shang-
hal, dated Aug. q:
General Tic. commanding the Feng Tfen
division Of the Chinese forces. telegraphs
a. follows: THE Chinese, on Friday, at
tackled the Japanese forces at Ping Yang,
driving them back, with a heavy loss, a
distance Of eleven miles TO Chung Ho.
The Chinese made a second attack on Sat
urday and drove the Japanese from Chung
Ho, which is now in Chinese hands. The
japanese again lost heavily in Saturdays
lighting. Another great battle is expected
to-day"
Admiral F~reemantle, the British COM
nlander, has established the headquarters
of his fleet Professionally at Che Foo, where
the British. Russian and Italian ministers
now are.
The Chinese fleet is enjoying full posses
sion of the gulf of Pe-Chi-Li.
The japanese are re-embarking large
numbers Of troops at Fusan. Nothing is
known regarding their destination.
The Chinese forces which occupied va
shan have evacuated that place and have
marched eastward in the direction of Seoul.
The force. which is under General Yeh,
who was falsely reported to have been
killed in a recent battle. has been aug
mented by the adhesion of numbers of
sympathizing Coreans. The Chinese forces
are convergnig on Ping Yang. The tele-
graph line at the latter point remains in
the possession Of the Chinese. Nine thou
sand japanese troops have left Seoul and
marched in the direction Of Ping Yang.
Two German fathers of the Catholic mis-
sion at ST Ming Chou, in the southern part
OF the province OF Sha Tung, have been
captured by banditti and held for ransom.
A government posse in the pursuit of the
robbers has been unable to capture them.
1t Is supposed that the Japanese troops
who are re-embarking at Fusan are going
to Seoul. IL is reported that there was
great slaughter OF men in the battle be-
tween the Japanese and Chinese forces at
Chung Ho on Saturday last, in which the
japanese were driven from that place.
1t is stated that James Wylie, a Presby-
terrain missionary. has died from injuries
received at the hands of Chinese soldiers
marching TO Corea at Lao Yang. north of
New Chwang. China.

No AMERICANS NEED APPLY.
Japan Has All the Trained Soldiers
and Money She Needs.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2L.-Minister
kurino, of Japan. said last night: Il
want to combat an impression prevalent
with some of the American people that l
am here to raise a loan and, possibly, to
get American troops and officers. My COM
ing is in no way IN reference to the war.
We are III need Of no guns, money nor
men. We nave a standing army of $4,000
men, with reserves sufficient TO make 2O0,-
goo, all well trained. Even in Japan we
have far more applicants from volunteers
than We require. Our people are anxious to
volunteer but We do not need them. The
volunteers would be in the way Of the
trained troops. Our people, too. are Offering
money TO the government, but we do not
need IL and steadily refuse it. Since my ar
rival a number of Japanese and others
nave offered their services. but / have ex-
planned the real condition and endeavored
to discourage them. Besides the 2OO.O coo
trained men we nave forty-seyen war
ships. We are thus well equipped.
Il think the policy of China is to move
slowly but il is a severed, dismembered
country and even time Will avail nothing.
The people are not patriotic. 1t is a Tartar
dynasty, and they do not care If the coun-
try does go to pieces. Why, in 1868, when
the French and English sought TO open
Canton. the Chinese would not stand by
China. 1t is the same way all over the
country. Lii Hung Chang cannot hold the
Chinese together"
