after the Japanese made their attack

Among the Chinese commanders

when he was badly wounded.
Japanese Loss Trifiing. .s.
The Japanese loss was trifiing when
compared with that of the Chinese,
only 30 japanese being killed and 270
wounded. Eleven Japanese officers are
included in these numbers, and the loss
Of the Japenese was incurred mainly
during the first days fighting. The
loss of the Japanese during the night
attack was very small, due to the fact
that the Chinese, taken by surprise, be-
came panic stricken, threw away their
arms and fed, thus throwing into con-
fusion the regiments which otherwise
might have been counted upon to make
better stand. g .......s%s q.

Their Introduction Into Switzerland
Likely-A Hamburg Shipment.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Reinforcement
for the importation of American cattle
into Switzerland has been set ON foet
indirectly through the instrumentality
of MIR. Eugene G. Germana, the United
States consul at Zurich. Not long ago
Mr.. Germane sent to the state depart
ment q report entitled Prospects for
American Beef in Switzerland. 1t
was printed in the New York Stats
Zeitung, oopy Of which reached the
Zurich pnblio library. The article was
brought to the attention Of the Bauern
Bund, a farmers organization. q meet
ing was called with view to taking
steps 70 replenish the stables of farmers
who are badly in need of such stock.
Negotiations are under way which the
consul believes will result in q commit
tee being sent to America to investi-
gate, and If found practicable, to pur-
chase young cattle for shipment to
Switzerland.
A Shipment to Hamburg.
Consul Germane has sent to the state
department. an extract from an article
recently Published in Hamburg live
stock journal, descriptive OF the arrival
of the steamship Prussia, from New
York. July 20, with 250 head of live
beeves and the carcasses of 100 shipped
in quarters. Several shipments of live
beeves had been made few years be-
fore, but for some cause this business
was discontinued. With the success Of
the Prussia's trip, the Hamburg journal
states, the question of importing live
American beef cattle as well as dressed
beef has received new impetus.
Gives Meat to the Poor.
This trip lasted IA days, the animals
We're fed with hay and corn, and landed
in good condition. The Hamburg
journal says:
1T is to be expected that German
agrarians will oppose these importations
but It will meet with the approval of
the consumers and allow the poorer
classes to eat meat, which at present is
beyond their reach. 1t is to be hoped
that these importations win make good
progress Experience has shown that
the quality of the American meat is as

tuberculosis Is rarely found among the

WILL HAVE A CONTEST
Breckenridge Thinks He Can Overcome
the Apparent Majority For
Owens.
COMMITTEE FAVORs HIM.
Owens Men, However, Claim Their
Majority Is Too Large to Be
Wiped Out.
COMMITTEE FAyoRs HIM.

CINCINNATI, Sept. lS.--A Lexington
(Ky.l special says: Breckinridge will
contest and has already sent letters to
the committeeman in the eight counties,
notifying them of his purpose. The
Breckinridge men have majority Of
the district committee, which is the re-
turning board and declares officially
who ID the nominee ON the primary re-
turns. It is claimed by Breckenridge
men that enough illegal votes were
cast Saturday to overcome the small
plurality of Owens.
Colonel Barney Treacy, president OF
the Owens club. claims that his man
has clear lead Of 400 over the .'silyer-
tongued orator Y and that he is in NO
way afraid that Owens win lose the
race. He says that Owens could not
help bat win with the women and
moral sentiment ON his side. The
Breckinridge people say that Owens
lead Is barely 100, and that the COM
mittee win give them the nomination
sure.
Hsmtling For Evidence.
The Breckinridge forces are h=rrying
messengers TO all parts of the Ashland
district TO secure evidence upon which
to base contest. Stress Is laid on the
fact that Owens county OF Scott. which
gave him 1900 plurality, shows an in
crease of Gil over the Democratic vote
In 1892, and Franklin county, which
Owens carried by 52l. shows an increase
OF 691. almost 33 l-S per cent in each
county. The other six counties show

A flank attack upon the Chinese posi-.

Japanese gained some in position. But
they mainly occupied the same ground

The firing was continued ut intervals

Bread Riot. #

CHICAGO, Nov. ia large de-
tail of police was called out ut noon
today to quell bread riot i'm the
city hall. Two hundred and fifty
discharged employees of the water
department gathered about the
COmptrolIer's office and demanded
the wages due them.
The Comptroller sent a clerk to
inform the men that there was no
money i'm the city treasury to pay
them. Instantly the crowd became
riOtOus. Cries of bread and threats
of instant vengeance were howled
forth by the angry crowd and the
Comptroller, gathering his clerks
barred the doors to his Office aud
sent a, hurried call for policemen.
A half dozen officers appeared but
were promptly rushed out of the
corridors by the thoroughly arous-
ed men. A battalion of patrolmen
was summoned and after q liberal
use of force the rioters were club
bed into submission and driven
from the city hall. The large
crowd which had been attracted by
the disturbance was heartily in
sympathy with the ex-employes
and threats to compel instant pay
meDt of the overdue wages were
numerous until the police succeed
ed in dispensing the throng.

"Civic pride is that condition of
public spirit which makes every
citizen, little and big, proud of the
home city. 1t fosters and devel-
ops everything which makes town
worth living in; it tolerates no
croakers and no dissensions. Where
it exists none of the little jealous
les and none of the prejudices
which obtain in most small towns

municipal progress. Everybody
has good word for every public
