CHINESE DEFEATED.
CHINESE IN KOREA LOSE OVER
10000 MEN.
The Japanese Practically Annihilated an
Army of 10000 Men and Lost Only 80
Mon with 27O wounded-Japs Now
Control Korea.

London: Dispatches from Seoul, the
capital of Korea, tell of the total de-
feat of the Chinese army, entrenched
at Ping Yang, by the Japanese. For
two days the Japanese had been maxi
ing a careful reconnaissance in force
TO ascertain the position of the Chinese
army. On the third day the Gen. Sans
column faced the Chinese left flank,
the Pong San column the center and
the Hwang Zu column the right The
Chinese defenses had been greatly
strengthened. The battle opened at
daybreak, both sides cannonading
heavily The Pong San column did
the hardest of the fighting for the
Japanese while the thanking parties
gained some in positions, but at night
the situation was practically un-
changed. Firing was continued all
the night and meantime the Japanese
right and left closed in upon the
Chinese position, and at 3 a. IN. the
Japanese attack was delivered stimuli
taneously. The Chinese lines, which
were strong in front. were found TO be
weak in the rear and the Chinese were
taken completely by surprise, became
panic stricken and were cut down and
bayoncted by the hundreds. So well
was the Japanese attack directed that
the Chinese were surrounded at every
point and eventually sought safety
in fight. The Pong San column,
swarming over the damaged defenses
of the Chinese front completed the
rout of the Chinese.
Some idea of the manner in which
the Japanese attack was delivered may
be judged from the fact that one-half
an hour after the early morning attack
commenced the strongly defended po-
sition of Ping Yang was in the hands
of the Japanese troops. 1t is believed
that the Chinese position was defended
by 10000 Chinese, of whom only few
succeeded in escaping.
The japanese victory was brilliant
and complete. An immense amount
of provisions, arms, ammunition and
other stores, in addition to hundreds
of flags were captured and 10000 of
the Chinese soldiers killed, wounded
or taken prisoners. Among the latter
were Gen. Tso Fonk Wal the com
mander-in-chief of the Manchurain
army, and several other prominent
Chinese officers. The Japanese loss
was trifling, only 30 being killed and
270 wounded; eleven officers being
among the number.
So far as the active operations of the
| Chinese in Korea are concerned the
war is practically at an end for a long
time to come and the mainland Cf
| Korea may be said to be completely in
the hands of the Japanese.

Col. w. G. p breckenridge, of the
Seventh district. of Kentucky, is dead
politically. In the hottest primary
election ever held in this country he
lost to w. c. Owens by n plurality of
something in the neighborhood of 900

test between w. G. Owens, w. c.
Breckenridge and +. +. Settle for the
Democratic nomination for congress

Ashland district. For months the dis
trict was agitated in the most bitter
personal agitation. 1t was not a politi-
cal, not even a factional fight. 1t was
moral contest for weeks and months,
and it became intensely personal, so
much so that the nomination was not
the only issue.

Washington: A dispatch was re-
ceived at the state department from
Minister Dunn, announcing that the
Japanese government had blockaded
with submarine torpedoes the entrance
to the gulf of Toxic and the harbor of
Nagasaka. Notice was given by the

had been received the navy depart
ment authorities took steps to notify
the vessels which may be starting for

taken for protection against the

step of the war up to date in its effect

DEMoREST CONTEST.
High GLASS 0ratory Of High School
Scholars at the Opera House Last
Night-0lyds Belknap the
Winner.

A school exercise always brings ont q
good house, and the Demorest contest
last evening was nc exception to the
rule. Seven of Prof. McClenon's pupils
had been under evolutionary training on
temperance declarations for some time
and N their efforts last evening showed
the resultR,of careful drill. The criti-
cisms of the iudges-D. d. Holdridge,
Esq. John Larkin and Mrs. Alex Gamer
on-was to be passed upon voice, articu-
lation, gesture, memory and general
effect. With one exception 1t would
have been difficult for the judges to pre-
sumo to have decided which Of the con-
testants were entitled to the prize-a
Demorest silver medal-as all stood high
in qualities OF voice, articulation and
memory at least. The gesture and gen.
eral effect afforded the greatest oppor-
tunity for difference of opinion and ON
these, with a depth of voice added, per-
haps, Clyde Belknap was the prize in a
rehearsal from one Of Sam Jones efforts.
An unusual occurrence, also, was the fact
that the decision OF the judges in his
case was easily arrived at and in perfect
accord with the sentiment Of the audi
ence. Rev. w. j. Cleveland in present
ing the prize to the winner, made a
pointed application OF the benefits OF
such q contest-first as q mode Of incul-
eating prohibition doctrine in both
speakers and hearers and secondly as q
spur to higher attainments in oratory.
The participants in the contest were
May Belknap, Susie LaBrec, Loren
Blackman, Nellie McCallister, Edna
Scott, Clyde Belknap and Bertha Marx.
While awaiting the summing up of the
judges, Miss Ella Monty acclaimed with
excellent effect, q passage from a pre-
sentation address Of Gov. ST. John. At
the opening and closing OF the entertain
ment a quartette Of Messrs. Geo. Tnttle
