SHANGHAI, Aug. 1.-THE Japanese
squadron that attacked Wie-Hat-Wei
on Friday, reports Of which engage
ment were cabled to the Associated
Press yesterday, consisted Of % vessels.
It is not definitely known how many
Of the feet were men-of.war. The war
ships drew up in line of battle of the
port and opened fire early Friday
morning. There were no Chinese war
ships In the vicinity. and the engage
m,nt was entirely between the Jap
anese men.of.war and the forts.
The whereabouts Of the Chinese feet
was unknown. The forts. however,
we're able without much difficulty TO
repulss the attack. About SO shots
were discharged, but no material dam
age was done on either side. The
soldiers manning the guns Of the forti.
fications showed themselves to be
lamentably deficient In Workmanship.
Most Of their shots were hl-directed,
the shells either falling short Of the
vessels aimed at or going wide of the
mark.
When the fleet withdrew to Fort
Arthur, which place 1t attacked Friday
evening, little If any damage was done.
The operations are regarded a. having
been no attempt to conquer Wei-Hai-
Wei or Fort Arthur, but simply ruses
on the part Of the Japanese government
to- ascertain the exact position and
strength of the Chinese guns at the
two places. On Thursday last two
small gunboats were slghted geinG At
full speed in the direction lien Tstn.

technical question which will be raised
over the disposition of the bill. me
Hill resolution has had ito day In court
and has gone to the calender and
could not be taken up except OH vote
of the senate. It 10 also suggested.
that without the actual possession OF
the bill an indefinite postponement
would he out of order. and the only
means by which the senate could &C.
cure possession would be through q
motion to reconsider its action grant
ing conference, aud then to ask inc
house to return the bill. There wouia
be two difficulties in the way OF TINS
plan. Even with unanimous consent
secured and request made for the bill
to the house its release would depend
upon the courtesy Of that body. II
would therefore seem that the senate
can do nothing with reference to the

NEW CASTLE, Sept 14.-It is stated
thst tie New Jersey Fish Commission
has begun an investigation Of the state
ments That millions Of young shsd are
being slaughtered through nn obstIuc
tion In the Delaware river known AS
Scudders dam. For some years back
the shsd fishermen of She upper Dela
ware have complained that this device
for backing up the water forced the
little shad into an adjacent race, whore
they were eventually ground up by the
wheels OF The mills which the waters Of
the race supplied.
Fish Warden Clinton Smith. of
Trenton, has begun the fight against the
Trenton Water Power Company IN the
interest Of young shad, and he has
enlisted the New Jersey Fish Commission
in the cause. Mr. Smith said that one
day this week for distance Of 800 yards
along the water power front he saw fully
200. 600 young shad which had been forced
luiO the hbttf power D1 tue cohP hPaNN .
dam, from which there was no escape.
He thinks the Pennsylvania Fish Com
nissioneTs should open or ear down the
dam back Of Smith Whites Island which
is just opposite the 'fells aud part ot the
dam built by the Water Power Company
way back Ia 1888 There Is a swift
current on the Pennsylvania side which
ought, be believes, to be kept open, but
which ct present IS driving the young
shad to the Jersey side and tnen into that
death trap.
The Water Power Company complained
OF supplies several mills about Trenton
with power. It is understood that the
New Jersey Fish Commission have
retained counsel to look after the matter.

In AN OLD WELL.-Cumberland Gap
Tenn, is all stirred up over the late
discovery of o number of arms, &C.,
buried during the late war. A few days
ago Mr.. Martin. an ex-Confederate
soldier from Lynchburg, Va, in a con-
versation recently said that during the
war he and others had, at the order CT
Gen. John II. Morgan, buried twenty
five cases of Enfield rifles, several
hundred bayonets and pistols, four
wagon. loads of cannon balls, FIVE barrels
of whisky, and numerous other articles,
such as cooking vessels, shoyels, axes,
&c. All had been placed in large
we'll $50 feet deep. The we'll was
located, and at depth of thirty-fve
feet several cases of the arms in good
condition, some not even rusted; large
number of cannon balls, cooking vessels,
four wagon wheels, harness, &C., were
removed. Among the things taken out
was an enormous cannon, supposed to
be the one the government advertised
for so extensively a few years ago and
offered reward of s., 900 for it. 1t is
a brass cannon that was borrowed from
the British government. Among some
other articles taken out is brass ket-
tie containing lot of old coins. The
work will be continued until the bottom
of the well is reached.
