 The negro population Of Desha county outnumbers the whites five to one. All day excitement ran high in McGehee, and it was almost cer- tain that as socn as darkness had settled over the place little time would be lost in averaging Patton 's murder.
 The negroes of the place took a leading part in the proceedings. and passed word around among the white people to wait patiently the result Of the Goroner'sinquest, prom iaing that as soon as all doubt of the prisoners guilt was removed they, the colored population, would take the case into their own hands and satisfy the Pablic demand for re- yenge After the conclusion of the Goroner's inquest thc Sheriff made preparations to hasten his prisoners to the county iail, and ,as subsequent events proved, the mob prepared to hasten them te the grave.
 About 7.@O D. m, as the Sheriff was starting to the jail at Arkansas City with his prisoner, he was met by a mob or 200, composed of whites and blacks, who overpowered the officer and quietly strung them up.

have one renlly big show with us this season, but, i'll what goes to make up a rare variety and recrc- alton for the masses, the biggest best and oldest show on the road. The progress made toward the stupen- dous by the Sells Brothers in the past twenty-three years has been somewhat marvellous. The small show with which they made a timQF- ous beginning has grown to be d genuine public institution of the first magnitude well and favorably known in every section of the cOun- try, ana everywhere patronized by the best people. It has even more than kept pace with the unparalleled general development, and ranks first among tented exhibitions. It's tre- mendous spread of canvas covers a regal Roman hippodrome race track, monster fifty=eage menagerie, triple circus, huge elevated stages, Aus tralian aviary, Arabian caravan, African aquarium, spectacular pageants and trans-Pacific wild west exhibit, and hundreds of exclusively exhibited features, brilliant perform CTS and startling and ludicrous races and acts. Several huge special trains are required to transport this enor- nous melange of wonder and fun, and how so much can be exhibited for the one price of admission, % cents, is an enigma which can be solved by visiting the greatest show on earth. Don't fail to see the grand street parade and judge for yourself as to its magnitude.

nese feet arrived of the Yalu and re- mainod 10 miles outside the moth of the river while the transports unloaded At II o'clock on the morning of the f7ta they sighted the smoke of the Japanese fleet, which was later seen to be ar. preaching in two columns The Chinese fleet steamo' out to meet them, proceed ing in two columns, conycrging on the flagship. The Japsnese fleet consisted of P vessels and the Chinese of 10.
 The Chinese admiral opened fire at coco meters. The fire of both sides fell short until the two squadrons were within the effective range of 5000 meters. The Chinese endeavored to come to close quarters. but were pre- vented from doing so by the superior speed of the Japanese, who, keeping away for the most part two miles, manuevered admirably and made splen- did practice with their long range and quick firing guns.
 The Chinese cruiser Chi Yuen, Capt Yen Chi Ghadg, early in the day closed with ono of the enemy's ships at full speed, intending to ram her. Whether she rammed or torpedoed her. the Jap anese ship turned over suddenly and sunk.
 The Japanese vessels then closed around the Chi Yuen, which was warped mp by shots under the wator line and sunk with all hands, including Purvis, her engineer, Meanwhile the battle ragged furiously around the flag ship Ting Yuen and her consort, the Chen Yuen. MeKools, gunnery officer of the Ting Yuen, was killed.
 The Japanese ships wore difficult to identity, but the Yoshno received some damaging shots at close quarters, which enveloped her in smoke and mado her invisible.
 Some of the Chinese gunners devoted their attention especially to the Naniwa, vessel that sunk the Chinese transport Row Sbung. and succeeded i'll setting her on fire, but the officers did not sec her sink.
 At o'clock the five Japanese ships still engaged in the fight turned and fled The Chimes, pursued, but failed to over take them.
 In the morning of tho following day 2 Japanese torpedo hotilla returned and torpedoed the stranded Chinese ships.
 The Japanese losses arc uncertain. Nobody was able to see the whole ac- ton, but from a comparison of testimony it seems certain that four Japanese shipa wero destroyed and the remainder of the fleet badly mained

PSYCHOLOGY RAMPANT.
THE WORK OF YOUNG HAYNES AS MARVELLOUS AS IT IS
 FASCINATING.
Thousands of People Watch Ills Wonder full Street Test Exhibiting His Peculiar PsycholOg-
 Ieal Power

Mir. Chas K. Haynes, a young psy- i ichologist of no small ability, exhib- tied his powers before a select com mittee of prominent citizens at Hotel Trulock this morning. The com mittee selected was composed of rep resentatiye citizens and consisted of Drs A. c. Jordan, J. P. Runyan, Hon. l. r. Ritchie, Charles W eil. J. B. Trulock, Mo Hanf, Rev. Dr. Pen rod and Hon. N. T. Woodbridge. At II o'clock the committee, after leay- ing two of their number to guard Mr. Haynes, retired to a room wrote a letter to a prominent business man of the city, got into a carriage, drove to the post-ofiice and deposited the letter in certain box. They then took the key and hid it amodg a lot of packages in the back part of Mir. C. Eoss' store. When they re- turned, Mir. Haynes having been under guard during the absence of NJ ,ssrs. Trulock, Penrod, Ritchie and Dr. Runyan, who had hid the key, was securely blindfolded, and then making several tests with the mem bers he finally seized Dr. Rnnyan by the hand, rushed down stairs, got into the carriage with Mir. !. B. Tfulock, Dr. RunyaH an Il GRAPHIC raporter. He then drove over the same route taken by the eommitte, found the key, opened the box, got the letter and delivered ii to Mir Horatfo Riley for whom it was in- tended As a matter of course MT. Riley was very much surprised as it bore no address and he had no idea such n test would be made. The let ter was q typical one. 1t read:
 "MR RIIEY:-We arc going to test Mr. Haynes hY writing you a letter aH placing if in the post=oiIice, hid- ing the key, and let him find it and get the letter What will be the pric of sWeet=potatoes?

 When Mir Haynes finished his test Dr. RunYan found his pulse to be 155.
 It is difficult toimagine the amount of excitement caused by the sight of a young man bare-headed iii a fnll- dress suit blindiolded, and driving over the principal streets as though his life depended on it.
 It may be well to state that the other occupants of the carriage didn't feel any too comfortable
 Mr. Haynes will give a test of some of his ability al the Opera-house this evening, and those interested in such work will see q truly wonderful eX- hibjtion 0t psychological power.

 RUSSIAN MINISTER RECALLED. Count Cassini to Bs Removed by His
 Government From Pekin.
 LONDON, Sept. 24-The Japanese le- gstion here has received dispatch from Hitoschima, dated Friday. positively confirming the reports that not a single Japanese warship was destroyed In the naval engagement of the Yalu river. According to this dispatch the Japanese loss was 10 officers and men killed and about 160 officers and mon wounded. The dispatch adds that tho injuries sus- tained by the Japanese vessels did not prevent them from engaging shortly in active service, although several were badly damaged. Officials of the Japan csc legation say that neither in this nor previous dispatches received by them has any mention been made of the fact that the Chinese fleet WAS escorting transports.
 The announcement made by The Daily News today, in dispatch from a correspondent at Shanghai. that Count Cassini, the Russian minister at Pekin, being recalled and replaced by Hitrove who has been the Russian min ister at Tokio, caused much speculation in London, regarding the possible action of Russia.
 In this connection the official Chinese legation here stated as matter of fact that Count Cassini was presented with letters of recall before the out break of war, but he was ordered by tho government to remain at Tien Ts!n on account of beginning hostilities.
