THRRE is great deal of humor in the
aspirations of Whitelsw Reid. IL has
been known for many months ever since
the disaster in 1892 in fact, In which he
participated, that he was grooming for
something, nobody knew what But
now, snent the deal that he and Platt
have made with Tammany, It is settled
that he intends to run for President. He
states that the disaster to the ticket Ia 1892
was due to the unpopularity of ex-
President Harrison; that II the ticket
had been turned about to Reid and bar
ison IL would have won. If the Ameri-
can hog in Paris had been the burden Of
the plea instead Of protection wages for
the American worklngmen, he would
be President now. The means and the
plan by which he seeks the high office, Of
which he believes that he was cheated
in 1892, are equally novel and equally
picturesque, The split in the Republi-
can party aud the dlssgreem snt in the
Democratic party count as tricks In the
game for him. De proposes to use both

WAsHrNeToN, Oct. 30 Minister DENLY.
In a cable to the state department from Pc
kin today, says the Chinese forces have
been defeated at CHEN Lien Cheng and

reports that the japanese have taken one of

The scene of the first engagement is Just

obliged to force the fighting, as only Is
days remain before cold weather comes
In the neighborhood of Port Arthur where
the second japanese success is reported.
the winter climate is not SO severe and ope i
rations may be maintained until much
later. Experts in Washington believe
Port Arthur can not be reduced by the
Japanese without the use of heavy siege ar
tillery, and as far as reported the Japanese
are not supplied with this.
lnasmuch as the capture of Port Arthur
would give the japanese control of the Gulf
Fechili and cut off the Chinese capital
from communication with the sea, it is
thought the Japanese will make most
determined effort to capture the fortress,
Inc belief that they are prepared to do this

campaign is borne out by the fact that
agents OF the Japanese government in this
country have quietly bought up a vast
store OF goat skins and practically cor
nered the market. The skins are COM
