Foreign Nations Will Preserve Peace In
Chinese Treaty Ports.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Presi.
dent Cleveland has practically decided to
unite with Great Britain. Germany and
Italy to preserve forcibly the neutrality
of what are known IS the treaty ports Of
China during the war. The Chinese
government has been fully informed OF
this intention, and it is understood that
the emperor will submit without
protest to their iorcible occur
patton Of his principal ports. 1t is not q
question OF pride with him, but OF pru-
dence. He realizes that be is in no
condition to resist the policy of the
European nations and that an empty re-
monstrance would do more harm than
good. The Japanese government aa-
sents cheerfully to the arrangement, and
has intimated that similar occupation
of her principal commercial ports would
meet no resistance.
The plan was suggested by the British
premier, but the negotiations have
been mostly conducted in Washington
by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador; Baron Won Sauerma-
Jeltsch, the German ambassador Baron
Fava, the Italian ambassador and Sec
retary Grenham. An earnest attempt
has been made to bring M. Patenotre.
the French ambassador, and Prince
Cantacuzens, the Russian minister,
into the negotiations, but under in.
structions from their governments they
have kept away from Washington.
Secretary Gresham has not yet an
nounced the formal assent of the United
States to the agreement, but all the con-
fsrences have been held in his office, the
memoranda are in his hand and he has
80 thoroughly committed this govern
ment to this plan that it would be i'm.
possible for him to withdraw without
the eacriice OF his dignity and the re-
spect of thoae with whom he has been
negotiating.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Oficial notifi-
cation of battle between the Japanese
and Chinese land forces in Corea was
received at the Japanese legation here
tonight from the foreign Office ct Toxic
The telegram stated that on the 2Sth Of
July a portion of the Japanese troops at
Seoul marched agsinst q much superior
force Of .Chinese intrenohed at Shan
Yeng. A battle ensued and after heavy
fighting the Chinese were put COM
pletely to rout and large number of
prisoners and munitions OF war were
captured by the Japanese. On the
morning Of the SOth. the Jspanese pro.
ceeded to march against Gassn.
Shan Yeng is situated between Seoul
and GRsan, where fight between thu
Japs and Chinese, resulting in the loss
of 1000 Japanese, ia reported to have
occurred.
1t is the opinion OF the legation off :
GERS here that the reports from Chinese
containing rumors of the defeat of the
Japs at Gasan are probably gross exag-
gerations, though no dispatches refer
ring to fight at the latter Place have
yet been received.
The only other telegram of public in
terest received at the Japanese legation
today related to the request made by
the Japanese government concerning
protection to be afforded Japanese in
terests in Pekin, by the American
charge there.

The Last of tho Appropriation Bilfs
Passed-Other Business.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The last OF the
appropriation bills-the de6ciency-w
passed by the senate this evening after
it had been under discussion nearly the
entire day.
The bills for tho admission Of New
Mexico and Arizona to statehood were
reported to tho senate and placed on the
calendar.
The house bill for the protection OF
persons furnishing materials and labor
Tor the construction of public works
WAS passed.
A strong discussion was brought oul
bv an amendment proposed by Mr..
Call, to pay naval officers and sailors or
their heirs the difference between their
sea pay and shore pay for the time they
served on vessels which never went to
sea, from 1860 to 1865. Three such
claims had been allowed by the court OF
claims, when congress adopted the
statute Of limitations and barred all fu-
ture claims more than six years old.
Hale opposed the amendment as did
also George. Fryer and Chandler, while
Senators Hoar and GailinRer advo-
Gated it.
Mr.. Ccckrell then moved to lay the
amendment on the table which WAS
agreed to.

Blanchard, but which was ruled out Of
order. Mr.. Blanchard appealed from the
decision of the chair and inaugurated
obstructive tactics by making the point
oil no quorum.
On the roll call 81 senator's Eight
more than quorum ans nswered to their
names.
Blenchard's amendment gave rise to
an unusual scene in the senate, for Mr..
Allen (Populist) demanded that the re-
marks of Senator Cockrell, when MAKE
ing his point OF order sgains. the
amendment, should be read by the re-
porter. Mr.. Cockrell thereupon res
peated his statement, which Mr.. Allen
intimated was not the same as the one
fret made when the clause in the rule
was not stated. and insisted upon the
reading of the stenographer's notes.
Senators Hale, Tucker and other Repub-
licans and Democrats explained that the
rules did not require senator. in rais-
lug point OF order, to state what rule 10
came under, leaving that question to the
presiding officer. The pros and cons
were fully discussed until the presiding
officer (Mr. Jarvis) directed the re.
porter's notes to be read. This was
done and Mr.. Cockrell's supplemental
statement was confirmed and Mr.. Allen
proved to have been in error.
The question recurred on the appeal
from the deceion OF the chair. but Mr..
Hale moved to lay the appeal on the
table.

false. and il the person who makes it

lsctor OF Internal Revenue Kubis has
discovered that numerous certificates OF

that Gun Wah. merchant at Portland,

Twenty-Five of the Cinnamon for

sued at Rock Springs could not be

the conference to q discussion OF the

provides for Q duty of 40 per cent I'D

ard, and 40 per cent on sugar above this
grade. the duty on the refined sugar to
be collected ON the basis of the $40.
charine strength of the raw sugar used
in it, with one.fifth of q cent diiferen-
tial on the refined and discriminating
duty equal to the export duty levied BY
such sugar.producing countries as pay Z
bounty on sugar production.
This schedule was submitted to the
conference as the ultimstum OF the con-
servatlve senators, coming through Som
ator Smith OF New Jersey, and the
house conferees were given to UNDER
stand that the schedule was tho nearest
approach to the requirements that the
senate could make with any assurance
that the bill would pass in the senate.
Some OF the house conferees are favor-.
ably inclined towards the schedule, but
they believe it defines exactly the extra
duty to be paid on refined sugars. and
free from the objections urged against
the senate schedule, that owing to tho
wording of the schedule it was impossi-
Bile to tell beyond the one-eighth of q
cent differential what the duty would
be on the refined article. They are of
the opinion that the duty in the sched-
ule presented today will be confined to
the one-ffth of cent differentiaI. Itis
understood. however, that while in
clined to accept these figures a. the
beat they can get, and while conHider-
ing that in this they secure an advan-
tage ovsr tho senate schedule, they indi-
Gated desire to consider the question
over night. and that it was on this
account that the decision, which it was
hoped would be reached today, will be
postponed until tomorrow.
Representative Bland has introduced
q resolution instructing the committee
on ways and means to report . bill
placing all sugars ON the free list, and
for raising $1O0, 900 revenue BY an
income tax. Bland said concerning the
resolution: II have not consulted Mr.,
Wilson nor anyone else, but have acted
on my own Judgment in submitting the
resolution. Ny purpose is to press it u
