CAPTURED KURleN CASTLE
Japanese win AnOthsr Hattie 8ksehis ID
Important victory

LONDON, Oct. %. Still another vic
tory, almost as decisive as that Of
Ping Yang, has been placed to the
credit Of the japanese army adysnc-
ing into China from Corea, and one
more obstacle to the capture of Mouk-
den, the ancient capital of China and
the treasure city Of the Manehurisn
dynasty has been overcome.
This latest victory has carried dis
may into the ranks of the Chinese
soldisry in the many forts between
the Yalu river aud Moukden, and
there is now every reason to believe
that the japanese will successfully
carry out their undertaking of cap
turing the old town before November
8. the birthday of the mikado, and
thus securing countless millions of
money which has for years been
stored in that place.
The latest victory was the capture
Of Kiuren Castle, which was defended
By over 1900 picked Chinese, with
several Krupp field guns The orders
of Marshal 0yama were carried out to
the letter, and yesterday morning
the Chinese soldiers awoke to find the
japanese surrounding the castle wall
sides.
After an artillery duel, Marshal 0ya-
ma gave the signal for a general as
sault and the Japanese advanced sim
ultaneously from all SIDES. The
Chinese resisted desperately and the
fighting was very severe, : but the
Japanese were not to be withstood,
and finally the Chinese fed. Two
hundred Chinese were killed, hum
dreds wounded and several thousand
captured. The japanese secured a
large quantity of provisions and
much ammunition.
A dispatch from Yokohama repeats
the assertion frequently made that
the second Japanese army has landed
on the east coast of the peninsula of
Khan Chow, upon which Port Arthur
in situated and now occupies the
neck of the peninsula, thus cutting
off communication between the port
and arsenal and the main land.
It is announced to-day that China
is negotiating in London for loan of
5000, 900. 1t viii be seven per cent
silver loan and its price is expected
to be ninety-eight. 1t will be secured
on the revenue of the treaty porty.

HORRIBLE HOTEL FIRR AT

dren Jump for Life.

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct 29.-A fire
which resulted certainly in twelve
deaths and the injury of three other
persons broke ont in the West street
house, hotel at Columbia and West
street, about o'clock this morning,
and all the dead were burned beyond
recognition. The flames broke out so
suddenly and spread so fercely that
the occupants were taken by surprise,
and there was wild panic, men and
women jumping from the windows in
all manner of attire.
A sharp explosion of q kerosene
lamp was heard in the kitchen in the
rear Of the second story by s. F. But
Ter, a son of the proprietor, and inn
mediately the flames began to spread
through the dry inner timber Of the
corrugated iron building, which is
one of block of two-story structures
owned by ]. NJ Coleman on the east
side of West street. Butler raised
a cry of fire, which aroused the guests
with whom the house was crowded,
and rush for life followed.
In the meantime Officer F. E.
Bryant had discovered the flames and
turned in an alarm, which brought
the fire department to the scene.
Then he turned his attention to saw
ing the terrified people, who peered
from every window, with the flames
fast creeping up behind them. He
found Mrs. Susie Allen and her 3
year-old child at a window on the
West street side, the woman crying
for someone to save the child. "Drop
the child" shouted the officer. She
did SO, and he caught it safely in his
arms. Depositing it on the ground
he snatched plank and tit against
a window. The woman slid down it
unframed.
D. B. Glass jumped out of win
dow but not till his hair was burned.
He struck on his back and lay strug-
Cling on the ground. He was picked
up and carried to the Northern Pa
ciic passenger station and with two
others was taken to hospital.
The first dead man was taken out
from room over the Hill Syrup COM
pany's store, and was found with one
leg in his trousers and his shoes half
laced. The body was discovered with
his head covered with the bed
clothes, under the bed, having APP
parently hidden from the flames.

Incident q shs nay on Which aAyoe
EnErssOn was Buried


The following is one Of tbs most
striking incidents Of the day on which
ali that was mortal Of the late mayor
OF Chicago was laid at rest:
One Of the bands that had marched
in the funeral procession when pass
ing the Auditorium building south on
Michigan avenue on its homeward
march in the evening struck up the
tuneof "Annie Laurie" The music
was cheerful and stirring. A large
crowd naturally gathered in front of
the hotel to view the regiment of sol
diers that followed in It's wake. Those
who at first failed to recognize the IA
millar air and many Of those who did
wondered at the lively strains from a
band which had but few hours pre-
viously been playing solemn funeral
dirges IN the procession from which
they were returning.
Gradually the meaning Of it all
dawned upon the minds of the people
and the words, "For my bonnie Annie
Laurie l would lay me down and dee, ."
doubtless we're silently spoken by
those who recalled the last word that
fell from the dying lips of Carter IL
Harrison Annie"

DUN,s BUSINESS REVIEW.
Indications Little More Favorable Thar

Indications Little More Favorable Than
They Have Been fOF Some Time Past
New YORK, Oct, 29.-The R. G.
Dun & Co Weekly Review of Trade
says: Engrossing political excite
ment in many of the states causes a
natural slackening in some kinds of
business, but on the whole business
indications are rather more favorable
than they we're a week ago. Gold ex-
ports have ceased, quite a number of
mills have gone into operation and
the demand for products, if not DUAL
to that of prosperous years, is better
than it has been most of the time
this year.
The price of farm products do not
improve much and there are still
some strikes to resist reduction of
wages so that the purchasing power
Of the people can not have materially
increased.
The wheat market is lower and
nothing appears to justify any im-
portant change. Western receipts
have been 4,S16, 81 bushels, against
6,276, 67S last year and Atlantic ex-
ports only 584, 1858 bushels, against
1,066,666 last year. Corn is higher
without any very clear reason, and it
is notew orthy that at the same time
pork is rs cents lower; lard IS cents
per 100 pounds and hogs 40 cents low
er. The contrast indicates how little
the provision market depends at pres
ent on natural relations of supply and
demand.

BIG OMAHA SAFE ROBBERY.
Safety Deposit Vaults systematically
Robhad.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 29.-The fact
was made public yesterday afternoon
that the safety deposit vault section
of the Omaha National bank had been
robbed, and SO dexterously that no
clue to the manner in which the work
was done is obtainable. Large sums
of money have been taken from boxes
in the vaults and the exact amount OF
losses cannot be known until all have
been examined. The discovery was
made more than two weeks ago and
every precaution has been taken by
the bank officials to keep the matter
a close secret.
The vaults are under the manage.
ment of very estimable lady, who
is in every way fitted for the respon-
sibility of the position she occupies,
No shadow of suspicion exists that
the losses have occurred through her
knowledge or conuivance. The safe
ty vaults are constructed in the base
ment of the Omaha National bank
building, near the corner of Sixteenth
and Douglass streets. They ars mod
eled after the best system in the
country and the private boxes are
surrounded with every safeguard the
ingenuity of science can devise. The
lessee of a private box is first required
to write his signature in book, and
also upon card, together with his
residence, etc. he is then given a
private password and no two individ-
usls have the same password.
It is suggested that a person not
entitled to open any given box may
secure possession Of the keys sur
reptitiousiy. But the possession of the
key alone will not enable a stranger
to open box. He must, upon pre-
senting himself at the safety vault,
present at the same time a written
order, signed by the owner of the
box, and he must also give the pri-
vste password. The bank officials or
detectives offer no explanation, other
than the declaration that it is not
due to carelessness of the bank en-
ployes. All deposits are guaranteed
by the bank.

NsWspanar Tar in Tnrksz.

A peculiar feature in Ottoman jour
nalism is the fact that every publisher
is required by law to pay revenue
tax OF two paras, or one fifth of
cent, per copy printed each issue This
tax is collected by issuing stamps for
the purpose, which are to be pasted on
each sheet, like postage stamps before
going to press, and cancelled by the
printing running over them. In con-
sequence the unfortunate publisher is
forced to pay tax on waste copies as
well as on unsold ones. 1t is therefore
evident that daily paper printing 49,
600 copies is taxed at least 800 every
day in the year.

for the honor of my country that, if
