said to Have Been Justified In sinking
the Kow Shung.
VANCOUVER, b. c., Aug. 23.-The
japanese Consul here received cable
last night regarding the sinking of the
steamer Kow Chung.
The cable says that the Japanese Gov
ernmert is informed that the naval
court of inquiry has rendered a decision
holding that the action of the japanese
commander in firing upon the transport
was justifiable, and that the British
admiral advises his Government to
make no claim upon the Japanese Gov
eminent for sinking the ship.

FROM THE KOREAN WAR.
THERE is A DEARTu OF Au-
THENTIC NEWS.
Reports Corrected or without Confrms'
tion-Japan's War Fever-The
Chinese Way, Etc.

LONDON, August 15.-Private tele'
grams from Yokohama say seven
Chinese vessels were sunk in the recent
engagement with the Japanese. This
report lacks confirmation, and probably
arose from a statement received from
Yokohama last night that news had
been received of battle on the 18th be-
tween the Chinese and Japanese fleets.
and that the Chinese were driven off.
INQUIRIES at the Japanese legation here
fail to obtain confirmation of the re
pert.
BRITISH NEUTRALITY.
LONDON. August ia dispatch to
the Times from Tien-Tsin says the
British Minister has issued notice en-.
joining strict neutrality upon British
subjects in the Far East during the war
between Japan and China.
The French gunboat Lion has arrived
at Tien-Tsin. 1t is announced that a
warship flying any flag which attempts
to cross Taku Bay will be fred on, un.
less their intended arrival has previously
been notified to the officers in command
of the fort. The French gunboat Lion
will be remembered as the warshll
which is reported to have been present
at the sinking of the transport Kow
Shung, and important evidence is ex'
pected from her commander.

JAPANESE REPULsED.
General Yen Not Kiiied-Decisive Battle
Imminent.

Imminent.
LONDON, Aug 22.-The Times has re.
ceived the following dispatch from
shanghai. dated August 2ist:
General Ito, commanding the Feng
Tien division of the Chinese forces, tele-
graphs as follows: The Chinese on FRI
day attacked the Japanese forces at
Ping Yang, driving them back with IA
heavy loss a distance of eleven miles to
Chung Ho. The Chinese made a second
attack on Saturday and drove the Jap.
anese from Chung Ho, which is now IN
Chinese hands. The japanese again
lost heavily in Saturdays fighting. An.
other great battle is expected to-day.
A dispatch from Shanghai to the
Pail Nal Gazette says that the report
that the Chinese General Yen was
killed in battle with the Japanese is
untrue. General Yen is at the head OF
the Yashan army, which was not
scattered as was reported, but was
merely outflanked by the Japanese
The latter have marched to Ping Yang
in strong force, and decisive battle al
or near that place is imminent.

and Chinese forces reported from Shang-
hal in the dispatches published this
morning.
Officials of the Legation express the
strongest confidence in the accuracy OF
the telegram received at the Legation
yesterday announcing the finding OF the
British Naval Court OF Inquiry at
Shanghai in the Kow Shung case was
favorable to Japan. The Legation char
acterizes as unqualifedly incorrect the
assertion that the commander of the
Naniwa ordered his men to fire upon the
survivors from the Kow Shung strug-

Preparations to put In Effect AZ soon as
Possible.
WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-Preparations
for carrying into effect the new tariff
bill are going forward at the Treasury
Depar ment with all possible speed.
Secretary Carlisle has already prepared
a blank form of license for custom-house
brokers, provided for IN the bill, and it
is now in the hands OF the printer.
Several clerks are hard at work prepar'
ng an ind, for the new tariff.
The tariff volume of the bill for the
convience of customs officials will con-
tain both the new law and the Mckinley
bill of 1890.
1t Unexpected that by the time the new
bill becomes law all preliminary work,
save that of issuing instructions to GUS

have been done.

JAPAN'S WAR FEVER.


Press and Popular Orators Excite the
People.
LONDON, August l6.-A dispatch to
the Times from Shanghai says that
Japan is pouring fresh trrops into Korea
and that upwards OF $4,000 Japanese
soldiers are now in Korean territory.
The Chinese fleet, according to the

In Japan the war fever is intense.
The press and popular orators are
preaching to the excited people vastly
am bilious schemes, including the con-
quest of China or at least the conquest
of the Chinese province of Manchuria.
The japanese populace and press are
under complete official control. Perfect
order prevails among the town popula-
lions. The japanese Government en-
forces complete secrecy in respect to all
military movements.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE.
Abnormal Receipts, with Cash Bal
ance of sIa1, OOO,O 900.

WASHINGTON, August 22.-Receipts
from internal revenue sources continue
to be abnormally large, with every pros
pect OF continuing so until the new tariff
bill goes into effect.
As soon as the tariff bill goes into OPP
Grafton the receipts from this source are
expected to drop down to merely nom
inal amount and so continue some
months until the new supply now being
laid in is exhausted.
These obnornal receipts have swelled
the cash balance OF the Treasury to
nearly 1921 100000. At the same time
the gold reserve is slowly increasing,
until it has now reached about $54 ,OOO,-
600. This increase is due almost en-
tirely to the Western demand for small
notes with which to harvest the crops.

There is every kind Of folk in the

simply trashy newspaper and all the

and each accordingly rightly commands

But there is one class of newspapers
which no self respecting community
tolerates for long or gives substantial
support 10 and that is the newspaper
that INDUCES in what is known as ''per-
sonal journalism

MIR. CLEvELAND'S FUTURE.

There begins TO be considerable in
terest in the coming together of Con-
gress, chiefly on account of the hints
that have been freely INDUCED in by
Washington correspondents relative to
the intentions of the President.
Mr.. CLEVELAND has seen fit to offer 10
interfere in the Japan-C China war and has
caused new issue of bonds to be made
by the Treasury. These acts were
i'm some measure initiatives he could
fairly claim the right to exercise. The
bond issue was hurried to avoid an un-
seemly wrangle in Congress, and to
facilitate the Presidents propensity for
indulging his own inclination. The
tempt To dabble in the Eastern war is
as unwise as uncalled for, and it looks
now as il Co gress would call il In
question.
More important than anything he has
already done is the Presidents inten-
ton to propose reform of the currency
system. This is n step that some fuan-
ciers profess TO believe to be necessary.
Il is not apparent 10 laymen that the
necessity is as pressing as is represented
But, allowing FOR the sake e argument,
hat 1t is, what is there in the public
lie or public speeches OF GRovE,
CLEVELAND that warrants the assump-
ton that he has the least qualification
for such taskr
