 4 motion to adjourn to 3 o'clock p. m. was voted down by all overwheIm. ing majority.

order Of Pythian Sisters.

WASHINGTON, Aug 30.-The biennial convention of the supreme temple of the order of Pythian Sisters of the World began yesterday. Supreme Chief Mrs. Hattie A. Robinson presided. The order was brought into existence by vir- tue of & resolution passed by the sil- preme lodge at it's biennial session iu Cincinnati in 1888, and which granted permission to the wives, mothers, sis ters, widows and daughters of Knights of Pythias to form ladies organiza- ton or sisterhood, and recommended the ritual prepared by Past Chancellor J. A. Hill of Greencastle, Ind. It was to be expressly understood that the su- preme lodge was not to be responsible for any of the transactions of the ladies' organization, financially or otherwise. Under this permission the first temple of Py thian Sisters of the World was in- stituted at Warsaw, Ind, Oct. 23, 1888, by the founder, Past Chancellor Hill. The institution of other temples fol lowed rapidly. There are now 15 grand jurisdictions, one each in the states of Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Missouri, Cali fornia, Massachusetts, Iowa. Michigan, Rhode Island, Illinois, Minnesota, Col. orado, Oregon, Washington and New York These grand temples are named in the order of seniority, There are g temples i'll other states and territories, where grand temples have not yet been organized, and three in British Colum. bia. The total number of temples up tc Dec. 31, 1893, was 416, and the total membership number over 25,000. The seperate temples under the control oi the supreme temple are in Alabama, Arkansas, British Columbia, Connecti- cut, District of Columbia, Idaho, Mon. tana, Maine. Nevada, New Hamshire New Jersey, Nebraska, New Mexico Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming Since January last about 30 new temples have been instituted, and this notwith, standing the growth of the order has been retarded by the current financial depression. Since the death oi Founder Hill. in 1899, the supreme temple has appropriated a monthly al lowance for the support of his widow who resides at Greencastle. The pro- gress of the Pythian Sisters has beer somewhat hampered by internal dissen sions that culIninated in secession and the formation by few malcontents oi the Pythian Sisterhood. It is this trouble that has initiated against the sisters be- ing recognized as an auxiliary by the supreme lodge. Efforts are being made to bring about a reconciliation, but ths seeeders are still rebellious. The Grand Army has had to contend with the same trouble in tbe fight between the Wo mems Relief Corps and the seceders who organized the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Chinese Claim They Forced the Japa-
 nese to Leave With Heavy Loss.
 SHANGHAI, Aug. 30.--The native press has received confirmation of the reported battle fought between the Chinese and Japanese troops Aug. i3. According to reports 5000 Chinese troops attacked the Japanese forces which had been detailed to guard Ping Nang pass in the north western part of Corea and eventually succeeded in driving the Japanese from their positions.
 A large number of Coreans focked to the Chinese standard, begging for fre- arms and asking permission to form an advance guard of Chinese forces moving against the Japanese.
 On Aug. IA, according to reports re- ceived by the native press, the. Chinese were reinforced by 5000 troops from Nj Chow and the day following attacked the Japanese lines at Chung How with the result that the Japanese retreated. On Aug 18 the Chinese army was fur ther inforced with 13,000 fresh troops and on Aug r they attacked the Jap anese who are said to have lost 400o men aud their heavy baggage.
 The Chinese on Aug. IS, advanced to Huong Chow, and passing too near Ta- tug river were attacked by the Japa- nese, who opened fire upon them with their ships guns and inflicted loss of several hundred men upon the Chinese.
 At ebb tide on the same day, the reports add, three of the Japanese war ships found themselves aground, and were afterward seriously damaged by fire from the Chinese artillery, which was handled from ambush. The bulk of Japanese forces it further asserted, retreated southward pursued by Chi nese cavalry until night stopped the lat ter's advance General Yeh, the Chi nese commander, then made detours and attacked the Japanese on the rear, com pletely routing them and capturing Chuan Chow.

Shanghai Rumors.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 30.-It is rep here that Japanese transports escor. by war vessels are sending troops to th northward of Taku with the intention of marching upon Pekin.
 Another report says that the Japanese have succeeded in landing 90, 900 men on the banks of the Yalu river, separating Corea from China, and that they have thus cut off the supplies of the large army which the Chinese have sent to the Corean peninsula The report says that the Japanese troops are converg- ing upon the rear of the Chinese army, marching southward, and that the lat ter will consequently be taken between two fires, in addition to being cut of from it's supplies, which. it is claimed, will alone bring disaster.
 A third report says that the French commissioner at Hong Tyng has been murdered by soldiers of General Yeh.
 All the three reports referred to in this dispatch are merely the current rumors of Shanghai and they one and all lack confirmation.

COLUMBIA, s. C., Aug. 8O.-Returns from all over the state indicate that only about two-thirds vote was polled in the primary election yesterday. The anti Tillmanites generally refrained from voting. Tillnan carries every county with the exception of Charleston, Richland and sumpter and probably one other The legislature will be over. whelmingly for Tillman for United States senator, insuring Senator Buffers defeat. The conservatives will likely run an independent ticket at the general election in November, and that will be Buffers only hope of capturing the leg islature. The election was generally quiet
