ST. PAUL, Aug. 21.--As d result Of
their connection with the recent great
strike large number Of railroad men In
this city are making arrangements TO
leave this country, claiming they have
been placed ON the black list Of all the
railroads and can secure no places, no
matter whether there are vacancies or
not. About 40 OF these have made pre-.
hminary arrangements TO go TO the Cape
Of Good Hope and Johannesburg, South
Africa. and others are talking quite
seriously OF going TO Brazil. Hard
times here, work elsewhere and cheap
transportation largely influence them,
although they claim that the principal
cause Is that they are marked men and
have no chance whatever of employ
ment in this country.

SAN FRANCIsCo, Aug. 21.--The Elk
alniner prints the following special from
Shicei- Gen, Corea, dated Aug. 3: A
bloody battle has just been fought at
Song Hwan. This place In the head
quarters Of the Japanese general, Osh-
limo, and il one Of the most important
villages in the kingdom. The Chinese
have very strong Notifications at Song
Hwan, and l7,0OO troops ARE said 20 be
stationed there. The Japanese deter
mined TO capture the arms and provis-
ions, and bait the army by clever bit
Of intrigue. They gave out that they
were going to march back 20 A-San,
and in fact they did parade for con-
siderable distance in that direction, but
no sooner were they convinced Of the
success OF their scheme i'm making the
Chinese believe that they had left the
settlement, than they marched with a
rush straight up to the Notifications,
attacking them in body. They made
clean sweep Of everything in the
course Of five hours fighting.
Were Chin-Chinning the War Joss.
The Chinese were unprepared, and,
for the sake of the truth be it known,
they were chin-chinning the war joss,
that is bowling, kotowing and firing
crackers of to big wooden deity set
upon cannon ball. About | 1000 Chin
ese Were killed in the engagement and
20 Japanese. The Chinese, with their
usual cowariice, deserted many of the
Fan Kwai, (foreign devil officersl and
when given orders to resist the advance
OF the enemy turned and fell upon their
swords. preferring to commit suicide
rather than be murdered by the Japan
ese.
Fought with stink Pots.
Some methods Of warfare used are
ridionIously grnesorne and narrowing.
For instance, the Chinese, il Is told.
used old fashioned stink pots fbowls
slung d. poles and filled with sulphuric
and other bad smelling, deadly acids
which kill perhaps more quickly than g
rife shotl. One stink pot cast Id among
dozen soldiers kills every man inside
of few seconds. The Mongolians also
resort 10 wooden axes and TO long bam-
boo poles. It is impossible TO accurately
describe the barbarities which these
people practice In their methods Of war.
and also In their penal punishment in
times Of peace.

A Talk With Bishop r. S.
Foster.
The Great Methodist's Estimate of
Missionary Work in China,
Japan and COrea.

Through The CALL of yesterday DR.. A.
Is. Leonard, corresponding secretary of
the Methodist Episcopal Foreign Mission
airy Society. who had returned with Bishop
X. $. Foster from the Orient, Informed the
public in facts and figures what the mis-
sionary work had been in the countries
visited. Yesterday Bishop Foster with
drew himself from a steady throng of Wis
itOrs long enough TO give to a reporter OF
this paper his impressions of the progress
Of the great work of Outstanding these
heather nations.
During the six months that We were
gone we traversed Japan from one end TO
the other" he said. 1--WE visited the cap
ital OF Corea, and held conferences at sew
eTal points. In China | held one confer
ence at Picking, one at Nankin and one at
Foo Chow.
THE general condition of the missions
In japan Is encouraging and hopeful. l
was glad TO note an abatement of the an
tipathy which has heretofore been shown
toward foreigners In Northern China
the missions have been very successful,
and there we have great hope. In Central
China the outlook Is very discOuraging.
In Foo Chow the mission Is large and suc-
cessful, and on the whole there is reason
TO feel encouraged.
zone of the most comforting and de-
lightful facts is the feeling of perfect
brotherhood among the issiOnaries-the
Presbyterian, the Baptist, the COngrega-
tiOnal and the Wesleyan. Their greeting
to me was as cordial as that OF our own
missionaries. We could not perceive de-
nOminati0nal lines. In fact, there are
none among the missions. except as to
lines of work.
The Catholic missions are more num-
erous than those of the Protestant
churches and are cOnspicuously strong. |
can give no personal judgment as to the
wo:k, but l know that they are very
widely extended and have great influence"
Asked as to the ultimate future Of mis-
siOnary work In these oriental fields,
Bishop Foster, after some reflection. re-
piled: The work is so vast that il almost
confounds one to think of IL, and this feel
ing grows the further one penetrates the
interior. but Christianity Is planted and
finally 10 must be victorious. Still, it is a
long contest. 1t will take a large, very
large expenditure Of life and funds TO pro-
duce the result for which we are striving.
Christianity is leavening the best minds in
these countries. 1t is creating an atmos-
phere of its own. and ii will grow slowly
and steadily. 1t will take century after
century to complete the work, but
Christianity has gone there. and gone to
stay. / have not the slightest doubt or the
final Christianization of all these lands"
Bishop Foster left last night by the
Ogden express for Omaha.

the auditor of motive power and machinery
Of the Southern Pacific Railway. died from
asphyxiation by gas at his boarding house.
1914 Sacramento street yesterday morning
at II o'clock. His body now lies at the
MorEue awaiting burial. An autopsy was
held on the remains yesterday afternoon
to ascertain the cause of death, owing 10
the fact that the case was not reported to
the Coroner until after the body had been
removed from the house where Tyler died
and taken TO the undertaking establish
ment Of Gray IL Co. to be prepared for
burial.
Tyler was a widower. SO years of age

close friend and contidant. AT. his death

Mrs. " Hson to act as a protector TO the
household. he was a man Of sober dis
position, and unless business called him
out, usually spent his evenings at the
Wilson Preside.
On SUNDAY evening Tyler leftthe house,
saying be was going down town to look
around for short time, and that he
would be back soon. Mrs. Wilson retired
at her usual hour, locking the door, know
ing that Tyler bad a latchkey, and could
come in when be chose She did not hear
morning in passing: down the hall she saw
his door was closed, and supposed he was
in bed asleep. For several hours she
busted herself with her household duties,
and at about ten o'clock again passed
through the hail.. Going up to Tyler's
room she Thought she could detect the
smell. OF gas. A closer examination
showed that it came from Tyler's room.
She then ran downstairs to her next-door
nelghb0r, and told what she had dis
covered. A messenger was dispatched TO
find lOcksmith, who arrived a few
minutes later and opened the door.
Tyler HdS seen lying on the floor at the
foot. of the bed, while the room was
filled with gas, which was escaping from

he had all his street dress on except his
hat which lay on the floor a short dis
lance from him. DR.. q. r. Hubbell of
1888 Polk street was summoned Al once
made an examination he found the heart
beating very light, but no movement of
the pulse. He saw that nothing could be
done for the man, and while he was in the
room Tyler died.
Just what time he came in no one knows.
The only person who saw him was the
servant girl at 1872 Sacramento street At
g o'clock yesterday morning, as she was
leaving The house, she heard q window
slam down in the Wilson house. On look
ing up she saw Tyler. apparently under
the influence of liquor. standing behind
it.. The supposition Is that he came in
early in the morning in a state OF intoxlca-
ton and attempted to light the gas. but
only succeeded in turning the jet on full.
when he fell TO the floor in a daze and thus
met his death.
Tyler has been In the employ of the
Southern Pacific for many years. He sell

say they never saw him intoxicated.
