an official statement Of a conflict that took
place between the fleets of japan and China.
In consequence of severe provOcation, it says.
three ships of the Japanese squadron were
compelled to engage the Chinese fleet off
Fontao, or Round Island. They captured the
Chinese warship Tsao Khan and sunk Chinese
transport, with soldiers on board Unfortu-
nately one of the largest Chinese ironclads of
the northern feet, the Chen Yuen, escaped to
China, and the Chinese torpedo cruiser Huan
Tai escaped to Fusan, in Korea
The three japanese warships engaged were
the Akitsushima, the Takachiho. and Hi Ye
They escaped entirely without injury.
The Chinese warship Chen-Yeu reported to
have escaped to China after being engaged with
a japanese squadron of three ships, is of 7,430
tons displacement, carries Is guns is of steel,
and was built in 1882. She is battleship of
a high order.
The Huan-Tai, the Chinese torpedo cruiser.
announced to have escaped to Fusan, Korea,
after the engagement with the japanese YES
sells, is classed as a cruiser of 1900 tons dis
placement, and carrying seven guns. She was
built Of steel in 1853.
The three Japanese warships engaged were
all modern vessels. The Al1itsushima is steel
vessel of 4.150 tons. 400 horse power, and
carrying IL guns. She was built in Japan in
1892
The TakaehEo is steel vessel, built in Eng
land i'll 1885 She is of 3, $50 tons, carrying 10
guns and has an estimated speed Of 10 knots,
which speed. by the way, is also attributed to
the Akitsushima. The third vessel of the
japanese squadron. the Hi-Yee, is a composite
vessel. built in England in 1873 Steel is
largely used in her construction. Her tonnage
is 22sl; she has speed Of II knots an hour,
and carries nine guns.
1t would seem that this success Of japan
would augment the war feeling in Japan at
least although a dispatch from Toxic says that
tao Italian Minister, acting in concert with
tho British Minister, has presented to the
Japanese Ministry Of Foreign Affairs proposals
made by the Chinese looking toward a settle
ment of affairs in Korea. These proposals.
the dispatch states, will be considered by the
japanese Government, which has reserved SO
far its reply.
The owners Of the Kow Shing have made a
claim through the Government for compensa-
ton from Japan. They base their claim on
the ground that the Kow Shing flew the Brit
ish flag and war had not been formally de-
ciared.
Reports that large Chinese army has crossed
tho northwestern frontier of Korea and is
marching down the peninsula are confirmed.
A second army is hastily equipping to follow

The much lauded creole cookery involves
continual use of the Roux" for meats, gravies
and sauces. 1t is nothing more than melted
butter thckened with flour and seasoned with
onion, but it imparts delicious flavor to
everything it touches when rightly made
which means properly Drowned Melt the
butter, add finely chopped onion, let this turn
a light brown, and then add the -four, stirring
it as smoothly as possible. 1t will do for soups,
rravies dressings, stews, and any meat dishes
that require a dressing. For people who dis
like the strong oil that usually accompanies
salmon, dainty way of preparing the fish is
to pour off this oil, take out all the skinny and
fat parts, make a rouX, and serve it over the
salmon with further garniture Of parsley.
So
The proper sauces to serve with meats are
roast beef and grated h0rseradish; roast mutton,
currant jelly; boiled mutton, caper sauce roast
pork apple sauce; boiled chicken bread sauce;
roast lamb, mint sauce; roast turkey, oyster
sauce venison or duck with black currant
jelly; boiled fresh mackerel, gooseberry sauce !;
boiled bIuefsh, cream sauce; boiled shad, boiled
rice and salad; fresh salmon, green peas and
cream sauce; and roast goose and apple sauce.
Peaches can be most easily peeled. sometimes
after being dipped in scalding water and then
IN cold, even as tomatoes are. Itdoes not affect
in the least the peach flavor, but it is net always
successful in loosening the skin.

little fortunes were amassed; or There were,
no doubt, many merchants in her own town
who would be glad to have someone write up
and arrange their advertisements for them, and
would pay literally for such service" So, it
being necessary that she make her own living
she set out to offer her unaecustomed but will

the merchants of her own town. Failing many
times she was despairing, when she entered

There are some things that never go out of
fashion, regardless of the whirling in and out of
ruffies, laees, pufs, ribbons, and collars. These
are cleanliness, courtesy, and grace. To be good
hammered, to have the body, nails, and hair
clean and sweet is possible for most people; but
there are many women who fail in grace.
They not only fail to be graceful, but are posi-
lively awkward and slouchy in carriage. One
is so accustomed to seeing girls stand as the one
pictured-with sunken chest, prominent hips
and toes springing from the ground in the effort
to put all the weight on the rundown heels
that it is difficult to realize that these are the
faults; and in the same way we rarely analyze
why graceful, straight figure is SO pleasing
The three rules as to walking and standing are
easily followed. There is no excuse for their
being neglected. Head up, chin in, chest up,
hips back, and weight on the ball of the foot
Another rule insisted upon by Desarte teach
ers is that in rising from chair or in getting
out of carriage thrust forward first the upper
part of the body, the chest, and then arise. Do
not put out the feet and hips and then drag up
the rest of the body.

Japan demanded that China join her in i'm
posing fiscal reform upon the country, and in
the correction of political abuses, so as to do
away with the instructions that completely
upset the country and inhict great annoy
ance and damage upon all foreigners engaged
there. This seems to be a progressive and a
laudable idea, but conservative and suspicious
China has declined the proposal with thanks
Her answer was that it is her traditional policy
not to interfere forcibly in the internal affairs
of vassal State. Thereupon Japan replied
that if China would not help her reform the
country she would undertake the task herself
1t is this new phase of Korean affairs that may
lead TO ugly complications and make the
Pacific border of Asia for a while an object of
particular attention to all the nations.
Korea demanded in turn the withdrawal of
the japanese troops from the Hermit Kingdom
before considering the reforms proposed by
Japan. The japanese Government was much

surprised at the demand, for Korea had never
before been so firm, and her attitude was proof
that she was being influenced by China to defy
openly Japan's wishes.
Last week the Japanese troops met those of
Korea at Seoul. and the Koreans were repulsed
with considerable loss. 1t seems the Korean
troops, with some Chinese. made an attack on
the japanese garrison at the Korean capital,
at the instigation of the Chinese Resident at
Seoul. Since then there have been onfrmed
rumors of further fighting at Seoul.

JAPAN.
Its Army Wen Drilled, Wen Armed, and

TPaI Mall Gqrefts


PAL Man Gazette
Mr.. Norman, author Of Real JAPAN has
very high opinion of the japanese Army. Up
to the time Of the Franco German war the in
strHctors of this army were Frenchmen. The
result of the war was sufficient, In Japanese
opinion, to make a change desirable, and the
French instructors were changed for English,
German, and Italian. Few of these remain. az
the Japanese now think they know enough
about the art OF war to prosecute it without
foreign assistance.
In a fight between the Japanese and the
Chinese, the former, in Mr. Norman's opinion,
VIII surely win, as the japanese army is
equipped according to the most modern ideas,
and is of considerable size, while the number Of
troops that China can put into the field is
known TO none outside of the Fiowery King

equipment, too, is good deal of mystery
The japanese, Mt. Norman says. are not only
well drilled and we'll armed, but they are brave

CHINA preferred, as they hate the Chinese with
whoie-soul rancor. Regarding the suzersinty
OF China over Japan it amounts, Mr.. Norman
thinks, to very little. The Son Of Heaven"
as the Emperor of China is styled at home, con-
siders himself the suzerain of the world He
was suzerain of Lower and Upper Burmah, and
lost them both.
Thibet is the only country the "son of
Heaven would fight desperately for. OF the
King and Crown Prince of Corea, by whom be
was received, Mr.. Norman has not fatterinz

The country is impoverished, and under its
present ruler is of no use to the Coreaus or to
anybody else.
There are only few hundred Corean SOL
diers at the Capital, and they are of the opera
bouhe order. China may fight rather than let
Japan take possession of Corea~ but if it comes
to fight between China and japan, the latter,

scared sent post haste to the great Viceroy
of China, Ii Hung Chang, for Chinese troops

Japan watches with a jealous eye all that goes
on in Korea, and her large interests impelled
her at once to land about 10000 welltrained
men in Korea, the little peninsula. practically

seaport, Chemulpo, even more badly soaring the
