A GREAT VICTORY.
Japs Wipe the Earth With Pigtai1s
at Ping Yang.

At London: A dispatch received
from Ping Yang, Corea, dated says
that every hour adds to the crushing
character of the Chinese defeat. 1t
is ad led that the first estimates were
slightly under the actual facts and
the total of the Chinese losses during
the two days battle is now said to
be over 1900 men killed and pris-
oners. The japanese cavalry is con-
tinuing the pursuit of the Chinese
who succeeded in escaping, and de-
tachments of troopers continue bring
ing in squads of captured Chinese.
The Chinese prisoners, who were
not wounded, were paraded yester-
day morning in circle Of japanese
troops, and it was seen that they num-
bered l4,5OO' 1t is probable, how
ever, that this number will be in
creased within the next few days by
the prisoners who are constantly
brought in by the japanese cavalry.
Many of the Chinese captured were
found hiding in the quiet portions of
the city.
Besides Gen. Tso Fonk Wal, COM
mander-in- chief of the Manchurin
army, who fought desperately to the
last and only surrendered when he
was badly wounded, the japanese
captured four other important COM
manders of the Chinese forces, namely,
Gen. Tso Pack VOL, Gen. Sci Kin
Lin, Gen. Wei Ink Wei, Gen. Nayu
Kow Eng practically of the effective
Chinese staff.
The Chinese prisoners are to be
sent to Japan in patches of ], 600 on
board the japanese transports at an
chor in the Ia Tong river.
A special dispatch to the London
Times from Shanghai says that the
Chinese admit the truth of the re-
port of the defeat of their army a,
Ping Yang, but deny that towns
were captured by the japanese.
A private telegram received at the
Japanese legation here today gives
the losses of the japanese at the bat
tie of Ping Yang as being II officers
wounded and 26O soldiers killed.

ASKED TO RESIGN.
Nevada Republicans Don't Want to
be Represented by Populist.

Senator John P. Jones of Nevada
has been requested by the Republi
can state central committee to re-
sign his seat in the United States
senate, to which he was elected by
Republicans.
This request is made in long
letter which was drafted by chair
man Trennor Coffin and approved
by. the state central committee. at a
meeting held in this city. The
letter exhaustively reviews Senator
Jones letter of Aug. 20, to the for
mer chairman of the committee,
Enoch Strother, in which Jones an
nounces that he left the Republi-
can party to join the Populists, and
severly criticizes his course ofaction,
concluding as follows:
SOME PECULIAR MENTAL PROCESS.
"But by what mental processes
you arrive at the conclusion that the
great principle involved requires
you to part company with the Re-
publican party of Nevada, your letter
entirely fails to disclose You con-
cede that we are true to the cause OF
silver. Then why do you abandon
us? If we are true to silver why
does not devotion to that principle
of which you write so eloquently re.
quire you to remain true to us:
| Not only have we been true to the
cause of silver, but we have been
true to every other great principle
that you hold dear, and more than
that we have been fidelity itself to
you. Then we ask again, why have
you abandoned us?

Kicking Against Pentecost.

The new district attorney for New York
city, Mr.. Fellows, and ,Tammany are
being severely criticized for the appoint
ment of Hugh o. Pentecost as an assist
ant district attorney.
Not long ago he was a preacher, and
achieved notoriety as defender of the
Chicago anarchists. Recently he bios
somed out as lawyer. The opinion
among New York lawyers appears to be
that the law he knows will not give him
the headache. He can talk, however.
though he is not noted for having ever
said anything worth hearing
Just why this man, who has made it
his business to defend those who violate
the laws, should have been chosen at a
salary of 81 800 a year. to prosecute viola
tors the law, is one of the things for
which New Workers can find no satisfacto-
ry explanation. tits supposed the appoint
ment was dictated by politics of some
sort, though it could hardly have been
pure politics. In these times. when an
archists are becoming so bold and ag-
gressive, it would seem as if the prosecu-
tors of law breakers should be men who
have no sympathy with anarchists and
their methods. Mr.. Pentecost may give
his political friends cause to repent of
their kindness to him.

Vest Soon Had Enough.

when first came TO Washington, - said
Senator Vest, to the Washington correspond
ent Of the St. Louis Republic, I was entirely
unacquainted with the city l had not the
slightest idea where to look for boarding

blackburn. We were democrats, Kentuck-
lans and farmers 1 naturally supposed I
could rely on Blackburn. So, stranger as
was, placed myself in BlacKburn's hands as

BESIDES THIS, was getting the worst OF 1t

Not Starving Yet.

The public prints are full of accounts
of starving wage-earners in the great
cities, and yet from recent statements
from Chicago and Milwaukee it would
appear that the accounts are greatly
overdrawn. There are undoubtedly thou
sands of people out of employment, but
great many, perhaps the majority, of
them don't want to work. They have not
yet reached that point at which they are
willing TO accept any kind of honest en-
ployment.
1t is true there are thousands Of men in
Chicago who are being fed and lodged at
the expense of the city, and yet few
days ago Mr. H. A. Clapp, who is con-
structing a drainage canal in Chicago,
wrote to a business agent in Chicago
to know if men could be OBJ
tanned in that city to work on the
canal at s1.5O, for ten hours work a day
Mr.. Clapp said the work was in rock and
that the job would last all winter He
declared that he could not hire men in
Chicago, although many thousands are
idle and living on charity.
The Milwaukee agent wired back that
the same condition of affairs existed in
that city. There was much reported
distress, and thousands were demanding
work, yet none would accept good wages
to go to the pine woods to cut cord wood.
All preferred to remain in the city and
accept charity.
1t is evident from these reports that the
distress is not so great as the public has
been led to believe. Men who won't &C
cept work when it is offered them ought
not to be assisted. Beggars ought
not to be choosers. No assistance should
be given those who are offered an oppor-
tunity to make living Those who are on
the verge of starvation should be willing
to do any kind of honest work that would
yield enough to furnish them and their
families with food and clothes.

With emphasis upon it,

Has so unkindly broken in
Upon me and my sonnet.
Across the street. and at the door,

The dwelling of my neighbor.

And vain the nlinStTel's labor.

Gravely before him, hand in hand
Front row-dress circle-center-
A boy, a girl without hat.
But with battered sunshade that
Some older child has lent her.
The minstrel pauses-what so soonI
be turns stop to change the tune,
No coin responsive finding,
He eyes the windows that reveal
No sign; then, with a sigh,
Resumes the patient grinding.
And To- the minstreTs lost to view;
The boy and girl have vanished, too;
The street, my neighbor's dwelling
All, all are gone; and am there
Sitting again upon the stair
My tale to Mabel telling.
While from the crowded rooms steal out.

Whose chatter and whose dances
I've left still whirling waltz the while

And watch for Mabels glances.

Nor as an ardent lover speak;
But rather as brother

And find we're both inclined to own
We understand eaen other.
She is not always gay-nor I.

Life is a serious matter.
Better this moment on the stair
This sympathy complete and rare
Than hours Of idle chatter.
Better this touch

He slowly lifts his box with one
Glance, sad, reproachful hollow,
Up to my neighbours vacant blind,
Then takes his way; and close behind
The two small children follow.
