AoSiccs From Japan as to the Prep

SAN FRANCISCO. September 12-Files
OF the Japan Advertiser and the Kobe.
Japan. Herald have been received via Vic
toria, and bring news of the war to August
% 1t is reported that four fast Chinese
torpedo catchers are lying at Canton, in
waiting for japanese merchant vessels
which may come from foreign countries
laden with arms and ammunition. Ali of
them are said to be able to make eighteen
knots.
There has been some fighting at Bing
Chong, Corea. but no decisive engagement
has yet taken place. 1t is probable, how
ever. that the next battle will take place in
that vicinity. Bing Chong is situated north
Of Seoul, near the Tai Dong river After
the battles Of Ason and Zikwan many of
the defeated Chinese made their way to
Bing Chong, where q portion of the army
was posted. There Is now q large force
there. as Chinese troops numbering about
10000 have arrived from Anjun. The Chi
nese ordered the governor to supply rice FOR
the use Of the army. Two thousand Chi
nese troops have also arrived at Hosan-
Chin: on the banks of the Tai Dong river.
and have started to build a fort to defend
the position. They are collecting rice and
other provisions In the neighborhood.
The Expected Battle.
A japanese general says that the battle
which will take place soon at Bling Chong
will have important bearing on the ulti-
mate outcome of the war In Corea.
According to a correspondent Of the Japan
Advertiser. there are now in Corea 1850
troops. OF this number 500 are cavalry
The Chinese army numbers about the same,
the main body being encamped at Ping
Yang. where formidable earthworks have
been thrown up. This will be the Chinese
base of operations In Corea. Besides the
Chinese the same correspondent asserts
that there are 20,OOO Coreans arrayei
against the Japanese. but as most of these
are poorly armed, or unarmed, they do not
constitute a formidable force. When they
joined the Chinese army they were supplied
by the latter with rifles. as 1t was intended
that they should greatly strengthen the
ce!estials.

Result of the Drought.

ST LOUIS. Mo-, September ia special
to the Republic from Coiumbiana. Mo..says:
The weekly crop bulletin of the Missouri
board Of agriculture reports the long con-
tinued drouth broken in nearly all the corn-
ties of the state. In the northwest section,
corn was too far gone to be benefited by the
rain. except in a very few localities, but in
other sections later corn in many counties
is much improved, and in some will make
an average crop. Cutting is progressing in
all sections, and in many localities nearly
the entire crop is now in shock. Grasses
have been given a new lease Of life, and
pastures were green again, though feeding
is really necessary in some counties. The
rain has put soil in good condition to work.
and farmers are busy blowing, preparing fer
the fall seeding. Seeding Is now in progress
in some counties, and will become genera
during the present week. Orchards have
been greatly benefited by the rains. Fan
apples are being gathered.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. September 12.-At a meet
ing of the Chicago live stock exchange the
committee recently appointed to investigate
the matter of terminal charges reported
that the terminal charge OF ~ on every car
Of live stock entering the yards was I'M
just and decidedly detrimental to the Chi
cago market. The report also stated that
1t was the belief Of the committee that I'M
less this charge was rescinded or the same
tax added at competitive markets consid-
cradle stock will continue to be diverted
from this market, which also means q loss
to the stock yards company, the railroad
companies and to the members of the ex
change. The committee not being vested
with the power to prosecute the matter
further and believing that everything should
be done that lies in the power of the ex-
change to abolish the abuse, recommended
that the exchange furnish the committee
with power to employ counsel with view
to taking action in the courts, or, If neces-
sary, to lay the matter before the legisla
ture The report was unanimously adopted

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 12.-The delegates
to the national encampment of the c. a. r.
got down to a solid business basis this
morning. While 100000 persons have left
the city since the last old soldier passed in
review yesterday, there are still 100000
strangers in town, the majority of whom
will stay until Saturday and Sunday while
some remain even longer.
The national encampment opened this
morning in the new Grand Opera House.
The commanuer-in- chief and delegates were
welcomed on behalf Of the citizens execu-
tive board by Chairman Daniel c. Ripley
and also by w. c. Quincy. chairman of the
committee on invitation and reception.
Gov. Pattison welcomed them on behalf
Of the state Of Pennsylvania. while Mayor
McKenna of Pittsburg and Mayor Ken
nedy Of Allegheny performed the same
pleasant duty on behalf Of their respective
cities.
Election Postponed.
The serious business Of the encampment
proper then began. The election for COM
mander-in-chief will not be held until to-
morrow. Since the withdrawal of Judge
Chas. d. Long Of Michigan the opinion is
rapidly growing that Col. r. N. Walker Of
Indiana will secure the coveted honor The
selection Of the next encampment city has
also been deferred until tomorrow. While
the surface indications are that Louisville
will have a walkover. 1t is limited that st.
Paul has been doing &c Cd work in a quiet
but very effective way.
Mai. A. p. Burchfeid advanced to the
front of the stage and presented the COM
mander-in-c chief with a gavel that was
embiematic and Of great historic interest.
1t il made Of wood from Fort Sumter,
Appomattox. Gettysburg and Libby prison,
and Is bound with metal from historic can

and the closing of the war. The wood from
Getty sburg was taken from near the spot
where the comInander-in-chief was wound
ed. and. as he was a prisoner In Libby, has
also reminiscent associations. The gavel
Is inscribed as follows:
Presented by the citizens of Pittsburg
ana Aheghany to Captain j. G.. B. Adams,
commander in chief of the CAR at the
encampment held In Pittsburg, 1851"
Commander-in-Chief Adams called the
delegates to order after the speakers had
Withdrawn. The credentials of the dele
gates having been examined the annual
reports of the national Officers were taken
up and read
The Commnnder,s, Address.
Commander Adams opened his address by
congratulating Plttsburg on Its loyalty now
as during the days of the war, citing It's
liberality in caring for the soldiers from
the west on their way to the 'front.' as Phil
adelphia had done for those from the east
ern states. II
He then referred to the fact that four
months confinement in hospital prevented
him from fully attending, TO his duty, but
having received the order in such excellent
condition from his Predecessor, and being so
ably assisted by his comrades the order
had not suffered by reason of his disability

Surgeon General George r. Graham re-
ported that out OF a total OF fourteen de-
partments only seven medical directors had
sent in reports. He said:
Il made the effort to secure by CORE
spondeace with the health authorities of
| several large cities, the mortuary statistics
of the males over forty-five years of age in
those cities, in order to compare them with
the death rae per 1000 of the Grand Army
veterans of the same localities. Unfortu-
nately, the vital statistics of the several
cities were kept In such a manner that the
required inform. ton for comparison could
not be obtained. The comparative Stats
tics, ii they could be obtained would be of
immense value to the q. A R. committee
| on pensions, as believe they would tend to
show the death rate per 1000 among the
survivors OF the war Is very much larger
than that of males OF the same are VINO
were not participants in the war; and
hence, that disease and disability is far
more prevalent among the veterans than
among the other class"

IL anyone is troubled with bad attack

with Percy Meldon as Dexter Digit, Is as
full of fun as an egg is of meat, and as
sparkling and refreshing as the Msnhst-
tan Cocktail which the hero orders by tel
ephone, but doesn't get a chance to drink.
The plot is skilltully woven together,
and, although there are some very i'm
probable occurrences i'm the course OF IL,
yet, as the play progresses, everything
seems to be "as natural as life"
Notwithstanding this was bis first APP
pearance In Pawtuo4t, yet MIR. Meldon

audience before he had been on the stage
five minutes. Although he was unques-
tionably tight, still, as a worthy governor
OF our State once remarked OF a
similar condition OF affairs on the night
preceding lection at Newport, II was "In a
very gentlemanly way" and whether he
was sitting on the doorstep, stuck
fast in the glue thwarting the
schemes OF the villain at the oppor-
tune moment or wooing and finally win
ming the dashlng widow, he had the sym
pathy and best wishes OF everyone I'm the
