CIVIL COURT DISTRICTS.
Obsolete Bouad.ries and Changes In Pop
ulation.

The boundaries OF the civil court districts.
as they exist at present were established more
than thirty years ago. One additional dis
trict was established in 1894 to lessen the
pressure upon the 9TH district, and the bound
aries OF three OF the lower districts have been
modified somewhat; but. substantially. the
Civil Judgeship districts are the same as they
were thirty years ago, and great disparity
exists. therefore. between them by reason OF
the growth OF population In certain districts
and the falling on in others. Just now in
consequence OF the hard times the calendars
OF these courts are choked with petty cases.

Mr.. Childs for sending sums Of m oney $500 to

the success of the move was secured
within half an hour from the time the
petition was started.
Intense feeling was developed as soon
as the caucus move began. Members

Col. Won Hnnnelsin.s story.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-The Times will to-
morrow publish a dispatch from Shanghai
stating that Col. Won Hannekin, formerly
aide-de-camp to the Viceroy, who was
among those rescued from the British
steamer kOw Shing, which, while being
used as a transport for Chinese troops,
was sunk by a torpedo from the japanese
war ship Naniwa. has given his testimony
before the commission appointed To in
quire into the facts relative to the sink
ing OF the vessel Col. Won Hannekin
said that the Naniwa ordered the k0W
Shing to come TO anchor, which order was
obeyed. Then the japanese commander
ordered the transport to hoist her anchor,
get under way and follow the Naniwa 10
Japan As soon as the substance of this
order became known to the Chinese troops
on the KOW Shing they insisted that the
order be not obeyed, informing the officers
that they preferred death TO being cast
into a japanese prison. Capt. Gals
worthy the master of the Kow Shing
explained to the Japanese commander
that the KOW Shing was a British vessel
and stated that she had left port before
hostilities between Japan and China had
been commenced. He offered to abandon
the voyage and return to China. After
a little time the Naniwa displayed signals
reading: abandon the snip
To this the captain signaled in reply:
Impossible, the troops will not permit
me 10 leave.
When this signal was read the FNaniwa
withdrew a little further distance from
the Kow Shing and discharged torpedo
at the transport The torpedo struck the
hull of the Kow Shing and exploded. tear
ing a great rent in her bottom. AS the
transport was sinking the Naniwa fired
a broadside into her. A half hour after
ward the Naniwa lowered an armed boat
which crused about the place where the
transport had gone down. firing upon the
men who were struggling in the water.
Dispatches received at the foreign
office from Shanghai confirm the
Times dispatch as to the testi-
mony given by Col. Won Hannekin. The
official advices show that some of the
British officers Of the Kow Shing jumped
overheard from the vessel and were
rescued by boats from the Japanese war
ship.
The government has received no con-
firmation of the report that the emperor
of China has deprived Viceroy Ii Hung

The Chinese Defeated ON Land.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.-Ohicial mott
ficatlon of battle between the japanese
and Chinese land forces in Corea was
received at the japanese legation here
tonight from the foreign office at Toxic.
The telegram containing the news stated
that on the 29th day of July a portion of
the japanese troops at Seoul marched
against a much superior force of Chinese
entrenched at Shan Yueng.
A battle ensued and after heavy fight
ing the Chinese were put completely to
rout and a large number Of prisoners and
munitions Of war were captured by the
Japanese
On the morning Of the 30th the Japan
ese proceeded TO march against Gasan.
Shan Yueng is situated between Seoul
and Gasan, where the fight between the
Japanese and Chinese resulting in the
loss Of 1000 japanese is reported to have
occurred
It is the opinion of the legation of
ficials here that the reports from Chinese
sources containing rumOrs of the de-
feat of the Japanese at Gasan are prob
ably gross eXaggerations, though no dis
patches referring TO a fight at the latter
place have yet been received.
long telegram was received at the
legation confirming the official account
of the sinking of the British transport
&ow Shing, reiterates the statements
made by the Japanese government that
the first attack Was made by the Chinese
cruiser Chin Yuen by firing a torpedo on
the japanese cruiser Naniwakan
The delay i'm the receipt of dispatches
at the japanese legation from the home
government is found to have been due to
the fact that they pass through the hands
of the minister at St. Petersburg, who,
owing TO the small clerical forces at his
command has been unable to have them
deciphered promptly.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1894-08-08

SHANGHAI July 81. 10 p. m.-News
has just been received here of a desperate
battle between the fleets of China and
Japan, in which the Chinese were de-
feated and the Chen-Yuen, the largest
battleship except one in the Chinese
service, was sunk. and two other large
Chinese vessels, said to be first-class
cruisers. were captured or DESTROYED.
The battle was hotly contested. hut the
Japanese appear TO have handled their
guns, ships and torpedoes with more skill
than the Chinese. The Chinese Heet en-
gagged carried nearly a thousand men
and a large number Of them are re-
ported to have been killed or drowned.
News Not Confirmed.
Later-The report Of a second naval
engagement between Japanese and Chi
nese vessels is not confirmed No
further details have been received. 1t
was reported today that the japanese
forces attacked the Chinese position at
Yashan on Friday and Saturday last.
The japanese, it is said, were repulsed
with heavy loss. The Chinese loss was
trivial. The japanese are withdrawing
troops from Seoul 10 reinforce their
army near Yashan.

sent forces to Corea with this object in
view. Japan, without right, also sent
troops and refused 10 withdrew them.
She has further sunk a transport carry

been condemned by other powers. The
emporer places all the military author

who will protect the rights of the empire.
He also orders the capture and destruc-

II is probable that a copy Of the edict

Vow "A right TO the End.

LONDON, July Sl.-The correspond
ent of the Times at Pekin says that a
startling and painful impression has
been caused in government circles and
also among the members of the dipIo-
matte corps by the news of the sinking
by japanese cruiser of the Chinese
transport Kow Shung and the loss Of
so many lives. According To the re-
ports received at Pekin only eleven men
out of the 1000 aboard the Kow Shung
were saved.
The attitude of the Chinese govern
ment since it learned of the loss of the
troOpship has completely changed Hith-
erto il has been conciliatory, but the
indications now are that she will pursue
the war against Japan with the utmost
vigor. Ii Hung Chang, the viceroy, in
an interview at Tien Tsin recently, de-
clared that if war were once provoked
China would fight to the bitter end 1t
is the opinion Of all that the provoca-
ton has been given.
