LATE EASTERN NEWS.

LONDON, Sept. 20-A dispatch

count of the recent naval engage
ment between Chinese an Japanese
fleets, was received here at 7:15
o'clock last evening, from Shanghai,
announcing that later dispatches
received there says that twelve Chi
nese ships arrived yesterday at Port
Arthur for repairs
The dispatch adds that on Mon
day last the Chinese fleet, consist
ing of sixteen warships, arrived off
the mouth of Yalu river conveying
transports having on board 5000
troops. 1t was the intention of Ad-
miral Ting to disembark these
troops inside the mouth of the Yalu
river in order to form a force with
which to intercept the japanese
advance upon Moukden, Manchu-
ria, from which there is a railrord
running to Tien Tsin.
While engaged in landing these
troops, according to this dispatch,
a fleet of nineteen Japanese war
ships accompanied by fotilla of
torpedo boats was sighted ap-
preaching the Yalu river. AS soon
as they were in range the Japanese
attacked the Chinese, Then fol-
lowed a terrible contest lasting six
hours, during which the great guns,
rapid fire guns and machine guns
of all sorts were used with fearful
effect on both sides. Both fleets
also used torpedoes repeatedly and
fired at each other continuously
from the rapid fire guns mounted
in the tops of the different war
ships.

ANOTHER STRIKE THREATENED
News From Little Rock Tells of
Wholesale Discharge Of Railway
Engineers and Firemen.

Yesterdays issue of the Arkan-
sas Gazette, tells of another strike
threatened because Of wholesale
discharge of engineers and 6remen
on the Missouri Pacific system, and
describes the situation, as viewed
at Little Rock as follows; Consid-
cradle dissatisfaction exists among
local railroad men over the action
of the Missouri Pacific officials in
discharging a number of fremen
and engineers, as they claim, with
out cause. Since Monday fourteen
firemen and six engineers have been
discharged at this end of the line
and nine fremen at Van Buren, on
the charge of being implicated in
the recent strike or being in sym.
pathy with it. One of the discharg-
ed men has stated to reporter
that twenty eight more names were
on the list and would be acted upon
in a like manner in a day or two,
Among those already discharged
are John Guneo, John Ross and Jim
Hory, engineers, and Frank Wise,
jim Riley, Ed Henderson, John
Primster, John O'Malley, Anthony
and King, fremen. O'Malley is one
of the best known fremen on the
road. John Guneo has been with
the road for nine years, and is con-
sidered one of the most capable en-
gineers in the service Friends of
the discharged men say that large
majority of those dismissed refused
to Join the recent strike but several
had expressed sympathy for the
strikers. 1t Is stated upon good
authority chat the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Firemen and Engineers
have issued an ultimatum to the
effect that unless the company re-
instates the men thus discharged

THE WOUNDED MAN.

The sound of the shot drew one
or more persons to the scene of the
conflict. The news was then swift
ly conveyed to the city and a large
crowd of citizens, accompanied by
one or more physicians, repaired to
the spot. Examination showed the
critical nature of the wound and
the necessity for the patients re-
moval manifest. A cot was quickly
obtained and the wounded man laid
thereon, and, as rapidly as circum-
stances would allow, removed to his
room in the Temple residence,
where Drs Lightfoot, Green and
others were quickly at his side, and
a more thorough examination of
the case made. 1t was soon deter

BRYANT's ARREST.
Immediately after the shooting
Bryant disappeared, but an hour or
so later came in with officers, who
had taken him in custody at the
rooms of Prof. Owens, in the resi-
dence of Mrs. Preston, on College
Hill. He stated that he had in
tended coming in voluntarily this
morning, and giving himself into
custody, after having seen and con-
suited with his attorney On ar
rival here he was taken in charge
by the Texas officers, in whose Gus
tody he was this morning. He has
waived any preliminary examina-
tion and was allowed bail in the
sum of 5000, by Esquire Haywood,
before whom he was taken, and an
effort is now being made to make
this bond.
BAD FEATURES OF THE CASE
Viewed from any standpoint the
affair is deeply to be deplored. Both
men were prominent figures in one
of life's highest vocations, the train
ing of youth and development of in
tellect, in those who are to be the
men and women of our country.
The effect must be distinctly detri-
mental to local educational inter
ests, as well as to the city, atlarge.
What the consequence of so terri
BILE on example will be, upon the
youth of our community, none can
foresee, none foretel. That an
other stain has been indelibly inn
printed upon the name of our city,
is only too true, and the record of
another bloody tragedy must stand
against us, that all must deplore,
who have the city interest at heart.
Last night while officers were
looking for Bryant, we learn dire
threats of lynch law we're indulged
in by quite a number of citizens, but
better council finally prevailed, and
it was decided to let the law take
its course.
The TEXARKANIAN in this bad af-
fair, wishes to give a fair statement
of allthe facts 1btdindbleyon both
sides, and have done this as far as
possible. With this end iIf view, we
called upon Prof Bryant this
morning and asked him for a full
statement. He replied: II am
very sorry to have been forced to
do the shooting, to protect my own
life, and at the proper time will
give an account of it as it really oc-
CURED, which will clear me; no one
witnessed it. ."
PROF. ELLIS CONDITION
At the hour of noon Prof Ellis
was resting easy, but very low, and
it is thought that he can not re-
cover.
We understand that Prof. Ellis
has made an additional ante-mor-
tenn statement, in which he states
positively that he never attempted
to strike Bryant. We have been
unable to obtain this.

 HAMMox, July 19.-Just before the close of a very stormy meeting late last night, the Hammond branch of the American Railway union decided to return to work. The motion was carried by a vote of 42 to g. There was much excitement at the meeting and considerable hard feeling was shown. To-day the excitement in town is nearly as great as it was ten days ago. Vice President Haxwell and Charles Merry weather of the A. R. U. were arrested late last night for intimidating railroad men employed on the Monon road. There was intense excitement at the head 1 quarters of Adiutant General Ro b. bins last night when it was learned that Monon telegraph opsrator named J. J. Fry had been attacked by small party of strikers. As Fry was walking across the company's tracks near the sta tion he was attacked by n number of men. The attack was made very near where a number of soldiers were stationed. The | soldiers started toward the strikers and | ordered them to halt. In the meantime l Fry drew a revolver and leveling it at the | head of one of his assailants ordered him | to tbrow up his hands. The striker l obeyed and was arrested.

Tn. Lawyer. are Dissatisfied.

The Bridgeport Farmer reports that the lawyers down that way are not satisfied with the working of the law which pro- vides that a lawyer may be paid out of the public treasury for defending poor crim- inal only when the judge allows it. The old law allowed them S1O in all cases they could get. and it was often abused by lawyers and criminals. Then the law was repealed and new one passed in 1893. Some of the lawyers had n mistaken inn pression that it was mandatory. and the consequence was that at the succeeding sessiohs of the criminal courts the number of lawyers in attendance in the hope of being assigned to cases was greater than was ever seen before. In Fairfi i'd county
 they were surprised and disappointed as when Judge Hammersley. except in two or tlree cases. refused to allow any compen- sation. The consequence was that at the last session of the superior court it was hard to get lawyers enough to go around. and this state of affairs is likely to con. tinue throughout the state until the law yers succeed in having passed law which, in their opinion. will be more equitable.

Washington as a Broad Jumper.

It Is said that George Washington once cleared 22 feet inches in the running broad jump. There is such n haze sur rounding the event that it is not at all certain when and where the Father of His Country performed the feat. Thackeray refers to it in ''Thc Virginians," " where he tells of the jumping match between Harry Warrington and Lord March and Ruglen. Harry wins with jump of 2l feet inches against his lordship's IS feet inches. In his letter to Virginia Harry says he knew there was another in Virgin ia, Colonel q. Washington, who could clear a foot more.
 If IfThackcray' figures arc correct, Wash ington must have been n wonderful ath- lete. He could easily have won any in- tercollegiate championship competition up to 1889 and most of the national cham pionships. Then, too, it must bc rcmcm- bered that the futurc Father of His Coun- try did not wear spiked shoes like tho ath- letes of today, nor did he have a cindcr path for his run" nor n 6 inch plank for his take of, '" those Improvements not having come intope cneral use as carly ns the middle of tic eighteenth century.
