China-J

The new Japanese Parliament ha:
been called 10 extra session at Hirosbi
ma. Advices from Tien Tsin state that
the Chinese fleet landed 1000 troops on
the banks of the Yalu river, in spite OF
the attacks of the japanese squadron.
1t is stated hat the Chinese ships en-
gagged in the battle fought off the Yalu
river were short of ammunition. They
were ordered by Col. Yon Hannekin to
ram the Japanese vessels, but the order
was given too late, ss the japanese
were already retiring.
Commenting on a dispatch stating
that a fresh japanese army $4,000
strong is ready to take the field, the
London Daily News expresses the opin-
ion that Corea is not their destination.
If this is true there can be only one
other objective point, and that is a dash
on Pekin. With a necessary frankness
the japanese general has expressed his
intention ofseizing Moukden, but as he
is known to be a past master in the art
of deceiving, it may be assumed that he
does not intend to do any thing of the
kind. He could easily send an army to
Pekin, a great part of the way by sea.

PINE BLurF ARK Feb, ?, 1891. Editor of the GRAPHIC.
 h yesterdays edition of the Daily Pine Bluff Commercial was published d letter from Adam Stanley, the iypsy, in which lie accuses me of at tempting, without his consent or knowledge. to impersonate the so- called Gypsy Queen. . Personally, as to Stanley's assertions, care nothing, but in justice to Mr. Sparks, at whose residence the entertainment was to have been held, l desire to make the following statement of facts.
 On last Tuesday party of young people had made arrangements to visii the camp that night and have their fortunes told By an arrange ment with Stanley (which was per feetly satisfactory to him, was to impersonate the "Queen, and, by reason of my acquaintance in this city, tell fortunes for the crowd. Cir cumstances arose which prevented the crowd from going to the camp. On Wednesday l asked Mr. Sparks if the affair could take place at his residence and promised the proceeds to the organ fund of the Methodist Church. He agreed and the matter was settled. That was tine last either Mir. Sparks or myself heard of it until the letter referred to above was published. The whole affair was simply form of amusement for the young people and to be given in al worthy cause. The deception was to have been thrown off at the close of the entertainment. Stanley's statements in regard to the matter are so far from the truth that they need no comment at my hands.
 Yours very truly,
 B. $. HANCOCK.

BENHAM COMMENDED |
His Actions Indorsed by For
 eign Fleet Commanders.
THE BLOCKADE FINALLY BROKEN.

All ships Now Reach Their Wharves
 Without the Least Hinderance-Da
 Cana Sends Letter Protesting
 Against the Manner in Which He
 Was Huniiiated.
 RIO DE JANEIRo, Feb. 2.-[Copy- righted by Associated Press. 1.-The ac- tion of Admiral Benham in protecting American ships in their efforts to land at the wharges i'll this harbor has had a salutary effect. English and merchant ships of other nationalities are now coming up to their wharves without any sign of molestation on the part of the insurgept vessels. Admiral Ben hams bold stand against interference with vessels of his country is generally apptauded
 The exchange of shots between the insurgent and government forces has practically ceased. This is the first time for four months that day has passed that there was not more or less firing. The unofficial warning which Admiral Benham gave to Admiral Da Gama that firing upon the wharves for the mere purpose of creating block ade by terror must cease has been needed All the foreigners are de- lighted with the result of ghe American admirals conduct The commanders of the foreign fleets held a conference to discuss the action of Admiral Ben- ham, and resolutions were adopted fully indorsing the course that he pur- sued.
 The report that Senhor Moura, min ister of war, has resigned is not true It was his assistant, Senhor Galva, who resigned.
 Admiral Da Gama feels aggrieved at Admiral Benham He sent letter to the American admiral protesting against the ostentatious manner in which the American commander had humiliated him. He says that he will yield for time to superior force, but that as he was compelled to allow American ships to come to their wharves, he has officially notified the representatives of all other nations that they may do the same He declares that the insurgents have held the har-  bor for five months, and says that now if the shore batteries fire on him he will be unable to reply for fear of hurting neutral ships, and will also be unable to protect his men.
 Admiral Da Cana also sent letter to the officers who had gathered in conference to discuss Admiral Ben hams action, asking that he might be permitted to bom bard the city without notice. No answer was sent to him, but Admiral Benham said later to an Associated Press correspondent that he would grant the insurgent admiral per mission to bombari the city, but he would require that 49 hours notice be given. so that noneom batants would be able to seek shelter.

He Protects His Premis;es With a Wire
 Fence Charged With Electricity.
 CINCIENALI, Feb 2.-A. H Kis- singer, maker of street railway sup plies of this city, has devised a novel scheme to keep trespassers off his farm, about 30 miles up in Clermont county. MT. Kissinger is the owner of a 200- acre farm near Bantam, Clermont county. About year ago he brought several hundred dozen quails and squir- rels from the west and turned them loose on his farm. He posted his farm to keep the hunters out, but they swarmed upon his place and killed not only the quails and squirrels, but lot of fine turkeys. A valuable horse which he had imported from Scotland was also wounded. This was too much for Kissinger and he is now erecting 6. foot fence about the place. On the fence he is stringing five strands of wire so that neither dog nor man can get through or over the fence without touching one of the wires. These wires are to be heavily charged with electricity and will give severe shock to the person touching them X large dynamo run by an engine has been placed in a small building on the farm to furnish the necessary current for the wires. He made a test a few days ago on a small part of the fence which is completed. and found that dogs once shocked by the wires would not go near the fence.
