THE DRIVER KICKED
When an Electric Car Tried to Load
Itself on His Wagon.
The Calmness of Prominent Military
Man Quieted the Fears of the Lady
Passengers.

Probably the most surprised man in
town today was the driver Of an express
wagon who was proceeding down High
street just below the old Hoyle building
when an electric car tried to get aboard
of his wagon.
1t was electric car No. 81 of the Grams
ton street line and in some way it got
away from the motorman and collided
with the express wagon.
II not only collided, but the car ran
right up over the hub of the team and in
moment there was fun alive.
The car was pretty comfortably filed,
and the ladies were greatly alarmed until
prominent military man with his usual
sang froid reassured them, quieted their
fears and promised to go right out and
lift the car off the wagon.
One OF the ladies blushingly remarked
to her companion that il they had to go
through with an accident, she was glad
that they found so brave man i'm so
grave crisis, and of course she didn't
mean for the military man to hear, no
indeed.
But as usual there was NEWS man on
the spot, and he had both heard the
pleasing allusion to his military friend
and observed the blush that accompanied
IL.
The military man and the newspaper
man then got out and hustled round with
suggestions.
The situation was as embarrassing for
the expressman as II was for the motor
man. He had had greatness suddenly
thrust upon him, and he didn't like il.
His horse didn't like il either. The
motor refused to mote, and the horse
couldn't pull the car so the military man
tried TO keep his promise to lift the car
of the wagon.
lie couldn't of course. and he disap-
peared behind the second ring OF the side
walk committee, and listened TO the sug-
gestions that Others had TO offer.
Finally another car came along, pulled
No W on to The track, the express man
hit his horse clip with the whip and
The NEws man got on board.
His military friend walked down town

CHINESE VICTORIOUS.
The Native Press Confirmed the Story
of Japanese Defeat.
BY The Associated Press.


BY The Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 29.--The native press
has received confirmation of the reported
battle fought between the Chinese and
Jasanese troops on Aug. 13. According to
these reports, 5000 Chinese troops OF all
arms attacked the japanese forces which
had been detailed to guard the Ping Mang
passes in the northwest OF Corea, and
eventually succeeded in driving the Jap
anese from the positions which they held.
1t Is added that a large number of Co.
reans fiocked to the Chinese standard
begging for arms, and asking for per.
mission to form the advance guard OF the
Chinese force moving against the jap
anese.
On Aug. II still, according to the re-
ports received by the native press, the
Chinese We're reinforced by 1000 troops
from Yi-Chow and on the day following
they aattacked the japanese lines at
Chung Ho, with the result that the Jap
anese retrcated. On Aug. 10, the Chinese
army was, the reports say, further
reinforced by 1900 fresh troops,
and on Aug. IL they attacked the Japanese
who are said to have lost 1000 and their
heavy baggage.
The Chinese on Aug. Is, advanced to
Huang- Chow and passing too near the
Tatung River, where 13 japanese warships
were moored, they were attacked by the
japanese, who opened fire upon them with
the ships guns and inflicted loss of several
hundred men upon the Chinese. At ebp-
tide on the same day the native report adds
three of the Japanese warships found
themselves aground and were afterwards
severely damaged by the fire of the
Chinese artillery which was handled from
ambush. The bulk OF the japanese forces,
1t is furt her asserted, retreated southwark
pursued by the Chinese cavalry until
night stopped the latter's advances.
General Yeh, the Chinese commander,
then made detour and attacked the Jap
anese in the rear, completely routing them
and capturing Huang Chow.
The general news received here does not
confirm the reports of these Chinese sue
cesses received by the native press.
