mission in Tien Tsin, China, arrived
on the steamer Oceanic yesterday.
He is inclined to look with disfavor
on the cause of the japanese and
characterizes their much advertised
modern civilization as nothing more
real or substantial than veneering.
IF China can stand off the Japanese
until the middle of October there can
be no question as to the outcome of
the war" he said. China will have
an overwhelming victory. II, on the
other hand, Japan forces the fight and
lands 100000 troops in Corea without
loss of time, there is every reason to
suppose that the odds will be in favor
of the mikado's forces. The reason
for this is explained simply. This is
the rainy season in the northern pro-
vinces of China. The roads are flooded
and China cannot transport her
troops. She can take her troops from
Tien Tsin a distance of LsS miles
north by rail, but there is march of
1000 miles to get into Corea. That
will take two months. If China can
hold her own until she can get her
troops into Corea the victory is hers.
The japanese would be overwhelmed
by numbers"

after that precinct and he telegraphs
there are other frauds that will more
than overcome even the estimated
claims of the Owens men.
The impression is gaining ground
here that the committee, which reg
istered Brecliinridge's will in all
matters preceding the primary, will
decide in his favor next Saturday.
In such event the minority of the
committee announce they will report
Owens as the nominee and both can
didates will fight to finish in Novem-
Der. The Republicans will be gov
erned largely by the result of the
outcome of the contest before the
Democratic district committee. The
Republicans polled 9,443 votes for
congressman at the last election,
which is considerably more than
either Owens or Breckenridge polled
last Saturday.
In all the churches yesterday morn
ing the defeat of Breckenridge was
referred to in prayer or in sermon as
matter for national thanksgiving.
The exact figures by which Breckin-
ridge was defeated cannot be known
until the county committees canvass
the vote of their respective counties
to-day. At present all estimates are
based upon a mixture of official, semi
official, newspaper and telephone re-
turns and run from 80 to $50 in favor
of Owens.
The Breckenridge members of the
district committee came here yester
day with several county chairmen
and the Owens men fear manlpula

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 1s.-Breckin-

sent letters to the committeeman in
eight counties notifying them of his
purpose. His ground will he fraud in

have a majority of four in the district
committee, which declares officially
who is the nominee in the primary
returns. 1t is claimed by Breckin-
ridge men that enough illegal votes
were cast Saturday to overcome the
small plurality of Owens. The COM
mittee will meet Saturday of this
week at Frankfort to canvass the
votes.
Colonel Barney Tracy, president of
the Owens club, claims that he is in
no way afraid that Owens will lose
the race.
The Breckenridge people say that
Owens lead is only $50, and that the
committee will give to Breckenridge
the nomination sure. Stress is laid
upon the fact that Owens county
Scott which gave him 1000 plurali-
ty showed an increase of Gil over the
Democratic vote in 1892, and Franklin

NEW TREATY RATIFIED.

The United States Failed to Take Adj
vantage of an Offer From Japan.
YOKOHAMA, Sept THE revised
treaty between Japan and England
was ratified at Toxic, August %. For
the first time the United States has
failed to take advantage of Japan's
desire to treat primarily with the
great republic in important interna-
tiOnal transactions.
The opinion expressed in Japan is
that the negotiations at Washington
might have been concluded long ago
if the state department had been dis
posed to act upon Japanese proposals.
As it is Great Britain stands ahead in
the enactment of the treaty which
the Asiatic empire has been urgently
striving for more than twenty years
to secure.
The treaty confers no immediate
advantages on Japan. At least five
years must elapse before it goes into
operation, and it is for Japan to say
whether or not the interval shall be
longer, but until 1889 everything must
remain as it is now. The purpose of
this 0elay is that Japan shall perfect

AT THE MERCY OF A STORM.
Passengers and Crew of the Steamship

Passengers and Crew OF the Steamship
Italia Have Terrible Experience.
New YORK, Sept lS.-When the
steamer Italia reached port yesterday
from Europe, it presented only faint
resemblance of the craft that left
here two months ago for the Medi.
terranean. Most of the life boats
were missing and such as were not
were unfit for use. The interior Of
the iron hulled vessel, at least as far
as the passengers quarters were con-
cerned, was almost total wreck.
The damage was all due to one wave
in a fierce storm of September 5.
Six of the officers and crew were
injured. For three hours the passeu-
gers were huddled together in the
cabin waiting for what they supposed
to - the last moment. The Italia
r. from side to side as if she were
gong to keel over, while the voices
of nearly all the crew could be heard
over the storm repeating the orders
from the bridge. The stearing gear
had parted, leaving the steamship at
the mercy of the sea. An attempt
was made to ship and man the
hand gear, but before it could be
done a. big wave boarded the
steamship over the port bow and rolled
along the deck, carrying everything
before it. Lifeboats numbers and >
were smashed to kindling wood; num-
Der was carried away; the smoking
room and hospital doors were burst
in; the steam pipes on deck broken
and bent; the engine room skylight
smashed and the cabin flooded. Chairs
that were screwed to the floor were
torn up, and considerable other dam.
age was done. The crew, who had
been putting the hand steering gear in
place, completed their work and the
ship was once more headed for port.
The following day the storm abated.

PEARY EXPEDITION RETURNS.
The Explorer and Two Companions Still
in the Far North.


St. JOINS, n. s., Sept 1s.-The
Peary main auxiliary expedition has
returned from the Arctic, reaching
here at o'clock Saturday afternoon.
. Lieutenant Peary remained in the
Arctic regions, together with Messrs.
Lee and Henson. They are quartered
at Falcon Harbor, where they will
stay another year. The members of
the expedition report that in their
inland ice journey, which took forty
five days, the Peary party covered
40 miles. They met with success
sion of thrilling experiences.
Half of the men were disabled and
three-fOurths of the Eskimo dogs
died, leaving the party to walk for
more than half the journey. All the
sledges were abandoned.
The first incident of note in con-
nection with Lieutenant Peary's Arc
tic explorations occurred on Septem-
Der u, 1898, a month after the Falcon
left st. Johns for the north. Mrs.
Peary gave birth to baby girl. The
baby, Marie Ahnigito Peary, came
home safe with her mother.
During the month of October last
frightful storms swept over the
Falcon harbOr on Bowdoin bay,
smashing the naphtha launch and
washing away large quantities of oil,
intended for us in illuminating and
heating purposes. Lieutenant Peary,
however, is determined to continue
the work he has set out to accomplish,
and with Hugh Lee and Mathew
Henson, his colored servant, for COM
panions, he will stay in the North
until the summer or autumn of 1895.
