for Congress Permit ed
to Make a Go-as-You-Piease
Fight.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The two Con-
gressional campaign committees have ad-
vised their respective candidates to use
their own judgment in taking a stand upon
the silver question in the coming campaign.
No set policy upon silver is to be followed
and the silver plank in party platforms
will be ignored. In this respect it will be
a go-as-you-plsase race for each candid ate.
Each man must make his own terms with
his constituency.
The party organizations will make no
effort to dictake silver doctrine to the
people at this time, but on the contrary
will place themselves in a receptive atti-
tude to get the opinion of the country by
the time the next rational convention meets,
so it happens that diverse arguments are
being made by Republican candidates in
the same State. one man advocating silver
and another in an adjoining district taking
more conservative stand. 1t is the same
case with respect to Democratic candi-
dates, who are as equally divided upon
this subject.
Feeling that the silver question is to
figure prominently in the campaign the
Republicans in preparing their handbook
have devoted large amount of attention
TO finances. Every statistic that a candi-
date might want upon either side of the
silver question is elaborately set forth, so
that the candidate can have no trouble in
supporting his arguments with figures.
The opinion is very general that there
will be considerable discussion of the sill
yer question in the coming short session
of Congress. Senator Gray of Delaware
thinks that It will figure very prominently
in the debates of the Senate, although it is

unsuccessful effort was made 10 show that
the Mayor opposed the closing of gambling

of the day endeavoriug to perfect their
association, tut fin ally pu: all things into
the hands of a committee which is to re-
port tomorrow. 1t seems to be generally
agreed that it will be almost impossible
to resurrect the ola association, and from
this time on the chief effort will be made
to preserve the rates from further demor-
aiza ion without necessarily reviving the
old association.
A proposition was made to-day that the
direct California lines form 30 association
OF their own, but this was killed by the re-
fusal of the AtchisOn TO bear share of
the expenses of such an association. The
Atchison announced that it would, in its
opinion, be impossible to keep sucn an asso-
citation together. as the northern lines
would be able by means of small differ
entail to divert large portion of the busi-
ness. A California association being out
of the question with the Atcbison on the
outside, the plan was abandoned.
The morning call., 1894-09-20

by Secretary Gresham of the defeat of the
Chinese on land and sea, with the further
notice that telegraphic communication be-
tween Peking and Korea has been cut off
by the Japanese, is taken here as an evil
dence that the Chinese forces are in a
miserable plight. The small remnant of
an army in Korea is cut from reinforce
ment by sea as a result of the defeat of
the Chinese feet at the mouth of the Yalu
River; they cannot communicate with
their own Government by wire, and as
their escape from the Korean peninsula
by the northern overland route is pre-
vented by inc seizure Of the mountain
passes by the Japanese, their surrender
appears to be inevitable.
The Japanese, therefore, are now in
force on the border and coast of their
enemy, and a transfer OF the scene of war
from Korea to China is looked for by army
officers. unless the movement should be
prevented by the early advent of winter
The military experts believe that as soon
as the remaining Chinese troops in Korea
have surrendered the Japanese will trans
port the main body Of their troops by sea
from Ting Yang to the Manchurian coast
and making rapid advance on Mukden,
the capital of the province. will soon
be In position to organize a campaign on
Peking itself 1t is believed here that the
Chinese forces are almost demoralized,
and that the only obstacle to the triumph
ant campaign of the japanese. apart from
the inclement winter CT Northern China,
is to be looked for in the interference of
the great powers. There is reason to be-
lieVe that the feeling is growing iu Eu-
rope that the war bids fair to 20 beyond
bounds unless some influence is brought
to bear to check it, and some nations hav-
ing large interests in China have taken
the alarm already. They fear tile result
on their own interests of so overwhelming
2 victory by Japan that must be fOllowe
by the domination of japanese interests,
and animated by commercial territorial
jealousy they are seeking way to termi-
nate the war.

WITH HIS WIFE NOW.
Mrs. Byers Wants to Keep Her
Husband.
She Files a Petition Asking the
Court to Place Him in Her
Custody.

PITTsBURG, Sept. 19.-Mrs. S. NJ. Byers,
W ife of the millionaire iroD-manufacturer
of this city, to-day fled a sensational peIi-
tion in court asking for the custody of her
husband and his estate. - commissioner
was appointed to take testimony.
Mrs. Byers, in her perition, tells most
sensational story. She says she has been
married twenty-two years. About two
years ago B. Shields, an employe of A. NJ.
Byers, her brother-in-law, kidnapped her
husband and took him to Chicago, where
he was placed in the custody of DR.. l.. w.
Tallman. The latter took Byers to
Duluth and then to st. Paul, where he was
placed in hotel under the charge of Eva
Dilty. a trained nurse. Mrs. Byers located
her husband on August %, 1898 The
party. including Mr.. Byers. then returned
to Chicago. Here, she alleges, morphine
was surreptiliously administered to her by
DR.. TallmaD, and while she was uncou-
scious her husband was again carried off.
Byers was then taken from place t. place,

ing altogether about 10000 miles. Mrs.
Byers spent thousands of dollars searching
for her husband and finally located him in
Japan. She sent her agent, Samuel Boyd.
for her husband, and they returned to San
Francisco. Here they were met by DR..
Tallman, who endeavored to regain pos
session of Byers. Finally, on July 80, 1894,
an agreement was signed by all interested
parties to the effect that Byers should re-
turn TO Pirtsburg, without any interference,
in the custody of Boyd.
At St. Joseph. Mo-, Byers was taken
from the train on a writ of habeas corpus,
but at the hearing was remanded into
BOyd's custody. a few hours later, Mrs.
Boyd alleges. Shields. Peter l.. Kennedy,
John l.. Davis and DR.. TaIlman again kid
naped Byers and took him to Chicago,
where trace of him was lost. A few DAYS

running to Tientsin and Pekiug.
While engaged in landing these troops,
according to this dispatch, feet OF nine
teen japanese warships. accompanied by
fleet of torpedo-boats, was seen ap-
preaching the river. AS soon as they
were within range the japanese attacked
the Chinese. Then followed a terrible
conflict, lasting six hours, during which
the great guns. rapid firing guns and ma
chine guns and all sorts of guns were used
with fearful effect on both sides. Both
fleets also used tOrpedoes repeatedly and
fired at each other continuously from the
rapid-fring guns mounted in the tops of
the different warsn.ps.
