THE KOREAN WAR.
Shanghai Correspondent Gives ;
Gloomy View of the Affairs
at Wei-Hai-Wei.

LONDON, Aug. 19-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Central News
gives in today's dispatches gloomy
view of affairs at Wei Hal Wei. the
fortified city on the Shantung promon-
tory. There is little doubt that the
japanese intend to attack this Chinese
stronghold shortly, despite the tradi-
tion of the Chinese that the place is inn
pregnable. The lights along the promon.
tory have been extinguishsd, the buoys
havs been removed and tine Chinese
are constantly adding 20 the defsnces
by laying torpedoes and submarine
mines. Nevertheless on three success
sivs nights in the last week Japanesa
torpedo boats have entered the harbor
aud reconnoitered the forts. The
crews of the Chinese torpedo boats,
which lie in the harbor. had no inkling
of the nearness OF the enemy until the
japanese vessels were leaving. The
Wei-Hai- forts then opened fire
but 1t was to late to accomplish any.
thing.
The success Of these three Japanese
expeditions has shaken greatly the con-
fidence of the army in the impregna-
bility Of Wei-Hai- Wei. The suppoai-
tion is, that the japanese are prepsrin g
for combined land and fear attack on
the stronghold. The garrison is being
increased to meet such an attack and
heavy guns are being added to the ar.
tillery In the interior line of defence.
The foreigners who were employed
in the Wei-Hai' Wei arsenal are leav.
ing the place. Nearly all the Eng
lishmon and Scotchmen have gone and
within few days only natives are
likely to be left in the shops. The feel.
ing against foreigners is running
high among the military of the
city. The soldiers have fired ssv
eral times upon foreigners who
were leaving the shops and have
been checked only with difficulty by
their officers. All the foreigners are
reproached and insultsd as they depart.
None of them have been wounded as
yet. but their escape has been duo al
most solely to the strenuous efforts OF
the officers who have been charged with
the responsibility for their safety.
The main Japanese squadron has
been sighted again in the gulf OF Pc
Chilli. The natives of the seaports
have been forbidden to use Japanese
coins.

Peck sent their 6year. old boy to the
engine house to look for his father.
The firemsn told the child his father
was upstairs asleep and the little fellow
went to his ROOM The child did not
notice the odor Of escaping gas and
seeing his father lying on the bed ap-
parently asleep LAID down beside him.

to Peck's room found him dead and his
child sleeping peacefully by his side.
The little boy had not slept long enough
In the deadly atmosphere to injure him

0N1ILLIAM MOSH is the name of
WAUI Slsv, single. and not more
VIVI than 20 years OF age, who re-
Uu Gently kept a boarding house
for his fellow countrymen at the lower
end of Port Griffith, in what is known
as White Row. Mosh acted as the
cashier Of many Of these boarders, re-
ceiving their money at pay day and
taking from it that which was owed to
him.
Not far from Mosh's house there is
an entrance to an abandoned mine
working This entrancs had been COW
cred securely with boards, but on Sat-
urday Mosh took naked mine lamp
and pried open an entrance. 1t is be-
lieved to have been his purpose to take
the proceeds OF the weeks pay into this
old chant Der to secret it Mosh's ac-
counts amounted to a good many hun
drsd dollars in the course of year
but he had never been educated up to
the point Of appreciating the modern
bank and was accustomed to resort,
instead, to some hidden drawer or
other out-ot-the-way receptacle.
HURLED TO HIS DOOM,
Scarcely had Mosh made his ingress
into the abandoned chamber of the old
mine when the height hborhood was
startled by deafening explosion, tbs
force Of which was enough to shattei
window panes and bring at once large
number of excited men and women tC

them was horrifying. Mosh had en-
countered an accumulation of gas and
it had been ignited from his unguarded
lamp The man was shot, as If from 6
eanpon's mouth, clear through the
boarded opening and his yet quiverine
body, burned into sickening mass o
charred fash, was found yards away
from the aperture.
When picked up and conveyed to this
hospital Mosh was yet alive, but he
died at an early hour this morning.
As soon as it became known that

WASHINGTON, Aug, 19.-There is
good reason to believe that the week
that opens tomorrow will the close of
the second session of the Fifty.third
congress. The work of the senate is
finished; the last of the appropriation
bills was completed and the conference
report adopted Friday, and there is
nothing now for the senate to do but
clean up the ends Of the very busy and
very entertaining session.
About the only thing that keeps SEN
ators here is the tariff bill, and the gen.
eral impression is now that the presi-
dent will permit it to become law
just as soon as the treasury Officials
are ready 10 carry it intoi effect.
That he does not intond to veto
the bill is clear, for the Law
print is now being prepared al
the government printing Office. After
tomorrow it is likely the senate will
meet for u short time daily and then
adjourn pending the reception of the
tariff Uill. Until it is known just when
to expect this measure from the presi-
dent, it is not likely that joint reso
luton fixing day for adjournment
will be introduced.

elected instead of the 80 or 90 cents they
were getting at the time. Believing
that the Democrats would carry the

promise that wheat would be 81 25 per
bushel, Stanley says he sowed large
amount of wheat and had crop in the
two years of 9, 800 bushels.
But instead OF getting the promised
price, he was compelled to sell for 60
cents last year and for 40 cents this
year. He intends to sue Bynum for the
difference between the promised price
and the price received.
