The Chinese Out-Ciassed.

The Japanese have been victorious
In the first big naval bait OF the war
over Corea and have sunk next to the
largest bait eship in the Chinese navy.
The battle was fought Monday and
was desperately contested, both ma
tions being represented by large and
strong fleets. The Chinese, however,
did not understand the handling OF
their ships as we'll as the Jap anese,
and that put them at a serious disad-
vantage.
The full details OF the fight are not
at hand, but it is known that the Chem
Yuen was sunk and two other large
Chinese vessels, believed to be first
class cruis ers, were either captured or
destroyed. The loss of life was great
a so. Tee Chinese feet carried near y
1000 men, and few, If any, o capped.
Two German officers, who we're in COM
mand OF the Chen Yuen, are reported
to be among the lost a so.
Throughout the engagement the
Japanese showed greater skill and
ability in the handling of their boats,
and consequently had things much
their own way. Their work with the
guns was effective. and they also
showed that they thoroughly under
stood the handling of torpedCes. The
Chinese did the best they could, but
they were lacking In seananship and
also in ability to handle their guns eff
fectively. They demonstrated the
truth of the claim that they have
nothing like the ability and training
of the Japanese seamen and gunners,
and are at big disadvantage on the
water.

Enthusiastic Angler.

General Maury, who writes the
"Recollections of Virginlan," says
that when he was in Texas he found
Colonel George Crittenden, who was
then commanding Fort Inge, to be a
man devoted to sport. He one day
killed ten deer in nine shots, and he
spent day after day In floating about

Value of Salt for Sheen.

The American Sheep Breeder calls
attention to this matter and says:
Plenty of salt is a great preventive
Of disease. Witness the health OF
the flocks grazing on the salt grass
es Of the South Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, and the salt brush" of Arl-
IONA. Though they may be slightly
injured at first by the excess of salt
in this class Of vegetation, ultimate
ly they cease to be affected by it, and
thenceforth they are almost wholly
exempt from most diseases which as
sail their kind. The uniform reply
of shepherds on the ranges of Florida
where the salt crystals can some
times be seen on the grass near the
coast to questions as to their health,
is, There is nothing ever the matter
with them" Of course, this does
not apply to those exceptional regions

We hear a great deal about the

On the Green Isle.

There was a time when Dublin, the
capital OF Ireland, was one OF the
most splendid capitals of Europe, and
though now its political splendor is
departed, its manufactures dead, and
Its trade paralyzed, 1t is still a city OF
rare beauty and interest. Dublin
Bay, one OF the finest bays In Europe
or in the world, compares with the
Bay Of Naples for scenic beauty and
charm. The river Liffey runs through
the city and with its quays, as the
roadway by the river is called, forms
the grand thoroughfare OF the city
east and west, while the stately Sack
vile and Grafton streets run at right
angles to the Quays north and south.
Sackville street, 120 feet wide, has
few superior thoroughfares in Eu-

CORN GOES SOARING.
ALMOST A PANIC ON THE CHI
CA0O BOARD OF TRADE.
Relative Values of tho Three Leading
Cereals-August Corn and Wheat Soil
Together-wheat the Cheapest Feeding
Product.
Corn Sixty Cents.

There was almost a panic on the
Chicago Board Of Trade on Tuesday
morning, as corn and wheat went soar
ing. At last, says Chicago corre-
spondent, the profe ;sional traders have
come to the conclusion that the la M
ers know at least little something re-
garding the condition OF their crops,
and they are climbing over each other
in their eagerness to get in line in the
processic n
When the trading closed Monday
nigh, September corn stool at 63s
cents and May closed at 40 cents. Rain
was predicted for the corn bet, and
the traders weat hcme feeling that the
worst was over and that there would
soon be collapse. The feeling disap-
peared in the morning, w en- was
found that no rain had fallen, and that
all appearances pointed to continu-
ance of tie DIR ught.
No sooner had the trading opened,
therefore, than tle corn pit became n
scene rivaling Bedlam. So eager were
the brokers TO he in the hunt that
offers ranging all tho way from 54a TO
90 cents for September were made at
the anne time. Within five minutes the
price had been pushed to 90 cents, and
still the demand from the shorts APP
peared unsatisfied. Hundreds of thou
sands OF bu hels were sold at the top
figure and at the different notches
down ID SO. SO rapid was the Use
that, one broker said, one of his GUS
toners, with only small line of corn
sold at over 80 cents, had lost cool
$50, 900 in the first five minutes of the
market.
Either corn is TOO high or wheat is
too low Is the proposition which is be
ing laid down in ali quarters, and the
course of the market Monday con-
WINGED the people who feel that the
cereals are at present on an abnormal
relative basis. Actual sales were made
OF No. white corn at premium of

OF No. 2 white oats at prices which
represent &c per 100 pounds more than

Lwo MORE CABLES TO EUROPE.
There Will he Twelve when the New
Ones Are I'm Operation.

There Will he Twelve when the New
Ones Are I'm Operation.
Two more cables are being laid
across the Atlantic. There are at
present ten cables connecting the old
with the new world, but so rapidly
has the cable business grown that
they are inadequate TO handle il all.
The new cables were made by
Siemens Bros. & Co., whose factory
at Woolwich, England, has been
working night and day TO complete
the order.
The cable is being laid by the Fara-
day. When the shore end is all paid
out it will be buoyed, and the Fara.
day, coming back some weeks or
month later, will look around for the
buoy In order TO pick up the cable
again.
Thus, passengers across the At
lantic may see buoy away out In the
ocean, but mariners will be warned
to let it alone, as ii marks the end OF
one OF the sections OF the new cable
The Faraday can lay the deep sea
portion Of the cable at the rate OF
seven nautical miles per hour, pro-
ceeding under almost full head OF
steam. The caole Is simply paid out
from the stern like rope. Occasion
ally, however, the steamer will stop
and pay out lot Of cable before pro-
ceeding. This is done where she
comes to a cliff or sudden fall in the
bottom OF the ocean, which is not
level, as some people imagine, but
has all the typographical features OF
dry land.
The Faraday is provided with maps
OF the bottom OF the ocean as ac-
curate as if made by submarine sur.
veyors. At all points it is sought to
have the cable actually resting on
the bottom and not stretch ng from
hill to hill. While the Faraday il
laying the cable electricians on board
are constantly keeping up communi.
