LONDON, Sept. 10, 1S94-In London
newspaper circles great surprise is ex
pressed at the utter break down of the
service of Reuters Telegram Company
in the East in connection with news
regarding the Chinese war.
From the beginning of the trouble be-
tween China and Japan over Corea, Reu-
ters Telegram Company has relied for
its information upon an aged auctioneer
in Shanghai, who is not a newspaper
man and does not reside in the district
of the city where news is to be promptly
and accurately obtained. This super
ANIMATED correspondent has, apparently,
regarded the present war as matter of
trif1ing interest to Europe and Amer
lea, as his dispatches have been few and
far between. as well as brief and be-
lated. Reuter- has had no other means
than this of obtaining war news direct
from the scene of operations
Whatever other news his agency has
sent out has been gathered at the for
eign legation in London. News received
by the legations which would naturally
be sent out as local matter in London,
has been given foreign dates and sent
out as cable matter by Reuters Tela-
gram Company, and although no London
paper can be imposed upon by this oper-
alton, it is easy to foist this class of mat
ter upon the American public through
the Chicago organization styling itself

action, the whole nation of Japan arose
like one man. But for the arbitration
of England a war between China and
Japan would have broken out then. This
trouble led to the Tien-Tsin Convention,
which China violated and brought on the
present war. By that treaty it was
settled that China should withdraw all
claims on Corea and recognize the latter
as an Independent country. When the
interior tranquility of Corea was dis
turbed, either of the parties might send
troops for the purpose of protecting its
subjects and restoring peace, the eondi-
tion being that notice of the intention
to despatch troops should be given to
the other party.

These actions OF China were nothing less
than sheer violation, not only of the
Tien-Tsin Convention, but also of the
fundamental principles of international
law As the number of Japanese resi-
dents in Corea is at least six times
greater than that of Chinese sojourners,
and the property owned by the Japanese
in Corea exceeds in even larger proper

LONDON, Sept. 49, 1S9i.-The Contra
News Shanghai correspondent telegraph;
that advices from Chinese sources report
a severe naval engagement at the moutf
of the Yalu River, between the Chinese
Northern squadron and the Japanese
fleet. The battle lasted six hours. Dur
ing the fight the Chinese warships Yang
Wei and Chao-Yung caught fire and were
burned and run ashore and the Chih-
Yuen and Kfng-Yuen were sunk. Foul
IF the japanese vessels were sunk and
the remainder of the fleet retreated. The
Chinese then succeeded in landing the
troops which they had on board.
Admiral Ting, who was in command
of the Chinese squadron, was severely
wounded.
After the battle the Chinese vessels
proceeded for Wei-Hai-W which place
they reached in safety. 1t is supposed
that some of the troopships which were
being conveyed by the squadron were
sunk
A despatch to the "Times" from Tien-
Tsin says the Chinese and japanese fleets
anese vessels made an attack at noon,
while the Chinese were landing troops
from transports which had been conveyed
to Yalu by the Chinese Northern squad
ron The battle lasted until five o'clock.
The Chinese lost the Chen-Yuen, Chao-
Yung and YangtWei. The Chi-Yen,
which was engaged in the fight on July
q. escaped and is believed to be safe.
The japanese are supposed to have lost
three ships.
Many ChinKe were killed. among
them Admiral Ting, commander of the
fleet, Colonel Won Hanneken and a
volunteer named Tyler.
The landing of large force of Chi
nese was successfully executed.
The Foreign Office is in receipt of a
cablegram from the British Consul at
Tien-Tsin confirming the report of the
battle.
Great CONSERVATION prevails in the
palace at Peking. The Emperor is de-
termined to take the management of
affairs into his own hands, but this step
is not looked upon with favor by the
Government officials, Who consider such
a course as beneath the dignity of his
Majesty.
The "'Times" Berlin correspondent says
the Imperial Gazette prints the full
text of the circular sent to the Gefman
Minister at Peking by the Chinese
Government, advising him that effectual
steps for the protection of subjects of
neutral powers would be taken. German
traders and missionaries, the circular
says, need feel TO fear and may attend
to their duties in perfect safety.
The correspondent adds that German
iron and steel manufacturers and mer-
chants feel sure that whatever the re-
suit of the war, Germanys trade with
China will be improved. 1t is not be-
lieved, however, that the present trou
bic will benefit trade between Germany
and Japan

BOSTON, Sept. 10, 1894 Secretary
Robert Howard of the Fail River Mule
spinners' Association, who has just re-
turned from England where he attended
the International Textile Workers con-
vention, in speaking of his experience
abroad says
"A curious thing is the fact shown that

when I told the delegates that Massa-

the matter of hours of labor, they said
she would have to move pretty quickly
to keep abreast of England in that re-
spect.
There is no doubt that the English
spinner is better off and happier in his
surroundings than the American spin
ner, The one great drawback there is
the humber of people out of work They
have more amusement and enjoy them
selves far better than the workers on
this side, and they can live far more
cheaply.
Nevertheless the manufacturers are
better off and make more money. In

THE War IN TIE ORIENT
A Japanese Student Tells Why
His Country Attacked
" China.

Midori Komatz, young japanese
student, delivered a lecture last night in
the parlor of the Second Presbyterian
Church, on Third street. 1t was interest
ing and instructive and the young cleri-
cal student won warm praise.
The lecture was divided into two parts,
the first being the cause and probable
effects of the war between Japan and
China. and the second the advancement
Of Christianity in Japan. When he
began his lecture Mr.. Komatz said:-
..Of all calamities there is none more
detestabIe than war, one of the unhappy
remnants OF barbarism It is awful, it
is terrible. Mankind, brothers under the
same God, engage in deadly conflict,
wounding and being wounded, killing and
being killed. But there have been nations
wronged to such degree that forbear-
ance became impossible and an appeal
to arms was inevitable. Such is the case
with Japan.
JAPAN FIGHTS FOR RIGHT.

right. She is fighting for Corean in

conquered Corea. and each had just as
good a claim to it as the other. Seeing
the necessity VI Soie"i Hiu0Peiuehec'
to secure mutual safety and happiness
Japan was willing to withdraw its claim
of suzerainty over Corea if China would
do the same.

and the latter TAf japanese, broke out

planted himself in front of a train OF

on the car 'Saloam," which was near

Three men from the abattoir, assisted
by q small boy who had procured 3

him. The rope had scarcely touched his
head when he charged upon the car,

to a crowd of men who were approach
ing from the direction of the depot. The
chase was lively one. until he came to
a halt at Warren street. AT this point
the engineers of Engines Nos. 1,115 and 795
made unsuccessful attempts to run him
down. An effort was made to drive him
down the embankment into Warren
street, but he was well contented with
running up and down the trestle.
After being attacked by the crowd
with Jumps of coal for fully fifteen min
utes. the steer charged upon crowd of
men on drill engine and drove them to

After this attack, still master of the

The yardmaster of the railroad came
to their assistance and ordered out a
locomotive. The engineer was instructed
to drive the steer if possible to the
Point of Rocks. and whistle shrieking
and the bell changing the engine began
its work. The steer, badly scared by the
commotion, started on a run and did
not stop until he reached the Point of
Rocks, where abattoir employees were
waiting for him. One of the men, who
has record as lasso thrower, was
armed with a lariat, and with consider
able skill hurled it at the now thorough

nicely on the horns of the steer and the
chase was brought to an end. The ami

wanted to gain admittance to the jail.
Her screams causeds the steer to re-
treat and, just to show what he could
do, he jumped over the iron fence and
fled to Pavonia avenue. There a son of
Mr.. Burns found the animal. He was
accompanied by his dog Dash. The young
man ordered the dog to drive the steer
home, and he attempted to do so. The
steer interposed some objections, but the
dog insisted. The steer did not appre-
ciate this perseverance, and lowered his
head and made a plunge for him. The
dog was lifted on the horns and tossed
about twenty-five feet. Then the steer
permitted the boy to drive him home.

TROUBLE IN ST. JOHNS 5
Consolidation of the Athletic
and Gymnasium Associations
PPovokeS DR.. Stoddard.

The Rev. E. L. Stoddard, restor of St.
Johns Free Church, has addressed a
very long letter to the members or the
Guild of the Iron Cross, society for the
young men of his parish. 1t seems that
the members of the Guild at their regu-
lar monthly meeting agreed to consoli-
date the gymnasium and the athletic
departments, which have heretofore been
run separately, and that in so doing they
have overstepped their authority The
gymnasium is open the year round to its
members. 1t is run as an auxiliary to
the Guild, and is supported by addi-
tional dues of fifteen cents per month,
that is, the dues to the Guild proper are
ten cents, and to the gymnasium fifteen
cents extra. Twice a year the boys of
the Guild have been in the habit of hav-
ing outdoor athletic contests, under the
auspices of the athletic department en-
tirely separate from the gymnasium de-
partment. The games have been some
what expensive, and the boys have had
hard work at times to raise the money
necessary to run them. Not being able
to draw on the gymnasium funds, they
have had to apply to the Guild proper.
There has been some hesitancy about
supplying them at all times with the nee
essary money, and they have had to keep
their expenses within the amount guar
anteed by the entrance fees to the
games. t..,f
