Population of the Two Nations.

The population of Japan is not far from
100000 The census of 1888, by which
the houses were counted and multiplied
by I'VE gave So Sf6 son 5 5 S1a exports 9 r
ports nearly 100000 0O more than she ex
ports. Japan gives the United States tea
and silk and takes in return from lis oil
and machinery. During the past hrteen
or twenty years Great Britain and Ger
many have about wrested the trade with
Japan away from US.
Coreas population is not accurately
known, because no system of securing re-
liable data has yet been accepted. The
population is estimated at between g.
0G0 OOO and 2O,000000. the latter being the
figures of an alleged census taken in
1880. The country has had very few deal
ingS with the outside world. Its import
and export trade is in the hands chiefly
Of the Chinese and, Japanese. In 1885, the
ar"reg2 te foreign trade amounted to but
81, 159. 800. Even that was an increase of
IS per cent over the trade of the year
When you consider the enormous pop
ulation of China you realize the task ia
pan VIII assume if she really tries to con-
quer that kingdom: China's population is
set down at BOB, $50. China, therefore,
has nearly ten men to Japan's one. The
probability is that the population of both
Kingdoms is much greater than the fig
ures given. Neither country has a mod
ern system of securing q correct census.
Unsatisfactory as the figures are, how
ever there is little doubt that China S
Tten, too, to China's strength must be
added the population Of Corea. Granted
that the military training of the armies
of the two Kingdoms is anywhere equal,
these figures show the enormous task
As Corea is the ostensible object over
which China and Japan are fighting,
though literally cut but small figure in
the dispute, Russia's attitude can not be
ignored. AS is we'll known, Russia would
like to be a protector for Corea, for the
advantage that would accrue to it whan
its new Siberian railroad is complsted.
War between China and Japan, therefore,
must to some extent implicate Russia
With Russia mixed up in the squabhle.
other European nations will naturally
take hand.
Should the United States and European
nations combine to prevent China and
Japan fighting, it is interesting to think
what a demonstration of force these al
lied nations could make. At present each
of sixteen nations has at least one Tight
ing ship in the Pacific ocean. The United
States and Great Britain each have more.
The combined vessels of war of foreign
l,owers now at the scene of the trouble
therefore, is nearly equal to that of either
China or Japan. In less than a month
this force could be increased 100 fold.

Chicago, Aug, 3.-The plan which was
evolved from the strike to organize all
the western roads in one associa ton
was given an impetus today by a propo-
sition from the Southern Pacific to re-
vive the old transcontinental passen-
ger association.
The Union Pacific, which three
months ago was accused of demoraliz-
ing the Pacific coast passenger trade,
is again charged with the same thing.
Rates from San Francisco, San Diego
and Los Angeles to Chicago and New
York are being freely cut, and no in
forma ton received here has shown that
any of the other lines have made any
reductions.
The competitors of the Union Pacific
have taken no steps to meet the re-
duction it has put in, which are about
$3.50 to New York and $3.50 to Chicago,
but will probably do so in a very short
time.
There is a very small passenger bust
ness coming out of California now, and
the lines can have a lively little row
and reduce the rates without hurting
anybody to any extenk

SAYS SHE IS PETERS MA.
An Aged Negress Who Asp.res to
Dfstinc ton.

Richmond. Va, Aug. S.-Peggy Jack
son, residing here, claims to be the
mother of Peter Jackson, the negro pu-
gilist She has for eighteen months
been living with her son David. She is
10 years old and the mother of eleven
children all gone or dead save James,
Richard and David. The old lady
thinks from the pictures of the prize
lighter that he is her son. While living
in West Virginia she had a son leave
home when only 16 years old. She, said
he went west to Pittsburg, thence to
England, and the last she heard he was
in Australia. She says he exhibited pu-
gilistic traits when small. Aunt Peggy's
husband Solomon died ten years ago on
the eastern Virginia. He belonged to
chatham T. Sargent. The old woman
has a Bible in which the birth of Peter
is recorded September 16, 1854 This
corresponds with his reputed age. Jack
sons photographers claim he is an Aus
tralian, but he says he is a southern
born man.
He has been searching for his mother
for years. She says he was born in
eastern Virginia. She still hopes that
she will see her long-lost son.
San Francisco, Aug. 3.-The dispatch
from Richmond today, saying that the
mother of Peter Jackson, the pugilist,
has been found there is not credited
here. jackson left here for the east to-
day, but persons who knew him init
mately say that his mother died a num-
Der of years ago.

Washington, Aug 3.-Official notifca-
ton Of a battle between the Japanese
and Chinese land forces in Corea was
received at the Japanese legation here
tonight from the foreign Office at To-
kio.
The telegram stated that on the 2Sth
of July portion of the Japanese
troops at Seoul marched against a
much superior force of Chinese in
trenched at Shan Yeng. A battle en-
sued. and after heavy fighting, the
Chinese were put completely to rout
and large number. of prisoners and
munitions of war were captured by
the Japanese.
On the morning of the Goth the Jap
anese proceeded to march against Ga
san.
Shan Yeng is situated between Seoul
and Gasan, province of Asan, where the
fight between the Chinese and Japan
csc. resulting in the loss of 1000 Jap
anese. is reported to have occurred.
1t is the opinion of the legation Of
fcers here that the reports from Chin
csc sources containing rumors of the
n defeat of the japanese at Gasan are
probably gross exaggerations, though
no dispatches referring to a fight at
the latter place have yet been re-
ceiVed

WELLMAN FOOLHARDY.
Looks Like u Case of Fools Rushing
in Where Angels Fear to Tread.

LOOKS u OsiSG OA pOAS
in Where Angels Fear to Tread.
London, Aug. 4-The Times says:
The Royal Geographical society has re-
ceived the following telegram from
Baron Nordenskjold:
1.-The steamer Ragnvald Jarl, which
conveyed the Wellman expedition to the
polar regions, has been crushed in the
ice near Walden Island. Six men, who
were with the expedition, have return
ed to Norway. The other members OF
the party continued northward on tine
ice, but it is evidently impossible for
them to penetrate far, and the expedi-
ton is likely to return to the Swedish
houses at Mossel Bay.
I'm August and September there will
probably be no ice between Enyl and
Icefjord, and Mossel Bay will then be
accessible. L think a relief expedition
is desirable
The Times, commenting on the fore
going, says Baron NordensKJold's opin-
ion deserves the most serious attention.
It is too late, it remarks, to express an
Opinion upon the foolhardiness of the
expedition. Mossel Bay may be beset
by ice early in the season, and it is to
be hoped the party will get safely out
of their rash adventure. Doubtless Mr.
Wellman's countrymen will not delay
in taking steps to prevent the POSSIBLE
ity of lamentable catastrophe.

San Francisco, Aug. 3.-The British ship
Cambrian Chieftian, supposed to have
been lost en- route to COd1imbo. and on
which So per cent. was paid several weeks
ago for reinsurance, is reported safe in
harbor at Taltal Chill.
A letter from Captain Thomas was re-
ceived here today.
Several weeks ago the British ship Dee,
from San Francisco, arrived at Valpar-
also, having on board the wife and child
of Captain Thomas and several of the
crew of the Cambrian Chief. They re-
ported the Cambrian Chief as probably
lest.
During a terrific gale the vessel had
been dismasted. Just at nightfall, the
Dee sighted the Cambrian Chief in dis
tress and succeeded in getting a boat to
her.
This boat rescued Mrs. Thomas, her
child and several of the Cambr1sn's crew.
A second boat from the Dee was sent
back for Captain Thomas and the Others
of his crew. The gale increased, and in
the darkness the Dee lost all trace of her
own rescuing crew or the Cambrian Chief.
When day broke nothing of them was to
be seen. 1t was known tkat all of the
CSmbrian Chiefs boats had been smash
ed ard there was thought to be no hope
for the men who had remained on board
or for the rescuing party from the Dee.
The second chapter of this thrilling tale
of the sea now comes from Captain
Thomas.
He reports that the gallant rescurerS
from the Dee reached his vessel in safety.
When dawn came, and the Dee was no
where in sight, despair seized this little
band of sailors.
But finally, when the pumps We're
sounded and 1t was found that the vessel
was making very little water, hope cana
back to them. Jury masJs ware rugged
and at last The Cambrian Chief was got
under slow, way. But heavy blows were
encountered and several times Captain
Thomas had to take in nearly all sail IN
order to save his masts. Another peril
was yet to be encountered. however. Dur
ing the ships slow progress toward the
South American coast nearly all her pro-
visions had been consumed and it became
necessary to put the crew on short al
lowance and later on very short allow

When the Cambrian Chief reached Tai

to shorten sail and drop, anchor. They

Chinn,s Err of Peace.

China has not been engaged in any war
of consequence for ten years; the fight
with the French over Tonquin began in
1883 and ended in 1884. Chna's forces
were greatly superior to those of France,
so far as the soldiery was concerned, al
most UNNECESSARILY so. China had more
ships at the seat of war also than did the
French, and, her ships being many of
them of European build, it was expected
that the Celestials would put up a Srtong
fight, if indeed they did not finally win.
But the war was short and the victory
fell to the French. Although the Cinese
had modern ships, with modern guns,
powder and projectiles, and their soldiers
were largely equipped with rapid-tiring
rifles of European make, the yellow men
did not know how to use their weapons,
and their men and ships both melted
away.
The worst battle was August %, 1884,
near the Pagoda anchorage in the Min
River. This engagement was between
nine French ships on the one side, and
eleven European-built iron ships of the
Chinese navy, eleven war junks and
three Chinese forts on the other. The
first shot was fired at $50 p. M from
French vessel, and in an incredibly short
time the battle was raging in full blast.
At 2 o'clock the Chinese flag ship Yung
Wo was blown up by a torpedo. Eight
minutes later Chinese gunboat was de-
stroyed. At 2:45 Chinese sloop-ofwar,
wreathed in ruby flames drifted down
the river and sank with colors flying. At
4:51 another Chinese sloop-of-war ground
ed, and then blew up. By dark the en-
gagement was over with, and only two of
the Chinese ships were still af1oat.
The Chinese were absolutely democrat
lied by the rapidlty and accuracy of the
French fire. The deck of every Chinese
ship that was exposed for any length of
time to the frightful rain of iron missiles
from the French machine guns presented
a most horrible appearance. Everything
was covered with blood, heads without
bodies, bodies without heads, stray arms
and legs and trunks without limbs, lying
scattered about in every direction.
1t was during this war that Emile
was executed. His crime was sending
criticlsing the French military
and sending them without showing them
to General Forgemal

WHO is SHE?
The Question Now Stirring Up the
Gray Matter of n Chicago Coroner
Two Husbands Both Claim Her
BODY.

Gray Matter of n Chicago Coroner
Two Husbands Both Claim Her
Body.
! Chicago, Aug. 8. - Two husbands
claiming the body of a dead wife, one
identifying the remains by photo
graph and the other seeking to estab-
/ lish his claim by describing every ar
ticle found in her baggage, is the di-
Ilemma which now confronts Coroner
McHale of this city.
April II, woman who arrived in Chi
cago over the Santa Fe railroad, went
direct to a cheap Motel Five minutes
after reaching the hotel she fell dead.
In her possession was found a letter
signed Mrs. Lang, from San Francisco
to Philadelphia. On her trunk was
found the name, 'B. Sampson
| Coroner McHale endeavored to find
the woman's relatives in Philadelphia,
but failing, caused the body to be in
tered in Waldheims cemetery. Soon af-
ter the BURIAL Leon Lang, of 1869 Aspen
street, Philadelphia, came to Chicago
and declared he thought the woman
was his wife, who had been for two
years in California for her health. Mr..
Lang had picture of his wife, which
strongly resembled the dead woman,
but when it came to describing the bag
gage he could not tell the appearance
| of a single article in the coroner's pos
session and that official not being sat
listed, declined to surrender the bag
Igage.
! Recently one B. Sampson, of Tucson,
Arizona, a Well-known and wealthy res
Iident of the territory, wrote McHale
| that the woman was his wife. and that
they had been married ten years. He
said she had started from San Francis
| co in April for the east and was to take
a voyage to Calcutta, India. She had
written him last on April 13, saying she
| had met a lady on the cars, and they
were to travel together to the Seaboard.
| When he did not hear again Mr..
Sampson grew worried and began an
He learned of the death
of the woman in Chicago, and concluded
she had been his wife. He prepared to
Irecover his wife's property.
| Coroner McHale was relieved when
the westerners identified the trunks and
! their contents, even to a bottle of tooth
powder He mentioned note paper in
the trunk. 1t was there, printed in his
name and with the insignia of the
Grand Army of the Republic upon it.
Mr.. Sampson used the paper as COM
mander of the Union Veterans Associa-
| ton of Arizona. It was found just
where he described it. To clinch his
claim, he sent photograph of Mrs.
Sampson, and notified the coroner to
send the remains to Tuscon.
| The picture had no resemblance to
| the dead woman. No one could consid-
er them for an instant as ikenesses of
the same individual. The coroner was
| in a Quandary.
| If the deceased was Mrs. Lang, how
came she with the property of Mrs.
Sampson. If she was Mrs. Sampson,
why did she not resemble her own pho
| tograph? How came she with a ticket
bearing the signature of Lang? Or be-
ling either of the two women, what has
ibecome of the others?
| These problems Mr.. McHale is wrest-
ling with, nor has he yet mastered
them. Meanwhile both claimants are
increasing their endeavors to secure the
remains and the property

rants for which application has been

Departments, which have found Ezeta to

before the department for several
weeks. Secretary Lamont today en-
dorsed upon the record of the court,
''disapproved by the department" This
finally ends the case and Lieutenant
Nancy will not be reprimanded nor
will he again be tried.
No reason is assigned for the de-
partment's action and it is left to sur
mise whether the sentence was regard
ed as insufficient or, as is more proba-
BILE. whether the view is taken that the
lieutenant's acquittal of the more seri-
Gus charge of murder by the civil
court should stop further proceedings
growing out of the same offense, for
Secretary Lamont has uniformly
shown himself to be very jealous of
encroachment upon the juricial bench.
Inasmuch as the sentence was not one
of dismissal, it did not come before
the President for his action.

Japan's Last War.

Japan has not been at war with a for
eign nation over fifty years. She
has, therefore, done little or no
fighting since she adopted modern
implements of war This fact
lends additional interest to the war
with China. The japanese are fighters,
however. Within few years the stern
lions have been put down demonstrate
that the Jap viii be a foe not to be de-
spised. In the final battle of the rebellion
of 1871 the rebel army was almost ami
hilated. Out of total force of 600 but
thirty escaped alive. In this uprising,
which lasted about nine months 1900
lives were destroyed. The cost of the
war to the government was between S35,
100000 and $4l,0O0,000. Both the govern
ment troops and the rebels were equipped
with modern guns, and were officered by
modern European soldiers The rebels
were led by the Samuria, or former
armed retainers of the Satsuma clan,
which had fought for the government for
genera tons
