More collisions Expected Hourly. :

TIEN-TsIN. China, July 5o-The
gravity of the situation is fully real
lied here, now that hostilities between
China and Japan have commenced.
While no formal declaration of war,
according to the uaual diplomatic
forms, has been made either
at Toxic or at Picking. the
governments of both countries rec
ognize that an actual state of war
exists, and more collisions between
the forces of the two countries are ex-
pccted hourly. Considerable anxiety
is expressed here rs to the result of
war. The general opinion seems to be
that while japan may be looked upon
as likely to score the first victories
the Chinese troops will eventually
drive the Japanese out Of Corea, even
if millions of men have to be sent to
the front to do so.

Marriage.

We depore that because OF the fear
iul extravaganza Of modern society
many of our best people conclude
that they can not possibly afford to
marry.
We are getting fearful crop Of old
bachelors They swarm around US
They g through life Top sided. Half
dressed they sit round cold mornings,
all ashiver, sewing on buttons and
darning socks, and then 90 down TO a
long boarding house table, which IS
bounded on the North, South, East
and West by the Great Sahara
desert. We do not pity them at all.
May all their buttons be off tomorrow
morning.
Why do they not set up plain
home of their own, and come into the
ark two and two? The supporting Of
wife IS looked upon as great
horror. Why, dear friends, with right
and healthy notions of time and
eternity it IS very easy to support a
wife If she lie Of the kind worth sup

notions of refinement and have " young

till she be imbecile, you viii never be

Everything depends on whether you

A MUSEET BALL FROM ALOFT CUT HIM


The Peruvians stood off Iquque all
night the Goth, and at daylight the 2lst
steered for the Gillian vessels in the har-
Dor. The Huascar singled out the Esme-
ralda and the Independence looked after
the Covadonga. To the establishment of
his enemies atioat and ashore Pratt hoisted
the signal for fight. There was no es-
cape, for his vessels had low rate of
speed. 1t would not have been dishonor-
able to have destroyed his ships and sur
rendered officers and crews, OR to have
made feint with few shots and then
surrendered all,
But Pratt had a memory or tradition
of Nelson in his makeup wherever he got
1t. He was thirty lone years old and had
just been promoted TO the command of The
gallant fleet of two antiquated vessels one
of which, the Covadonga, he had helped
to capture from the Spaniards when he
was a lad of seventeen. On announcing his
purpose to fight for the supremacy at
1quique, he said: "Chilians. The odds are
against us. Our flag has never been lowered
In the presence of an enemy; l hope it will
not be today. As long aS | live that flag
shall fly in its place. and if l die my officers
will know how to do their duty
The fight opened at S q. N. by shot
from the HuaSCar between the CHILEAN
ships. Pratt answered by a broadside and
retired to shoal water, getting between
the HuaScar and the town so as to make
the Peruvians cautious about firing on
their friends inland. The Independence
steained toward the Covadonga which
also ran to shoal water \ duel took place
for two hours between the Huascar and
the Esmeralda. The former did not rush

but her crew kept up such & fusillade wit h
mushetS that the Peruvians imagined that
she carried machine guns.
But the accident to the Esmeralda's en-
gines was as great Il mishap TO Pratt as was
the fire in the rear that drove him to close
quarters with the big ironclad. The Huas-
car was provided with powerful beak
for ramming, and the helpless Esmeralda

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 24.-An old
gentleman and a young lady have
been searching for several days the
records Of the probate court in this
district for evidence Of the property
left by Elihu Yale, the founder OF
Yale university, to which they had an
ide;, they We're legal heirs The
searchers were named Yale and
claimed to be descendants Of the
founder Of the university. They came
from Wallingford, Conn. 1t is said
that a commercial traveller, while in
Wisconsin, became acquainted with q
family named Yale in that state and
informed the family that Elihu Yale
died possessed of about 500, ,OOO, 600
which was held by Yale university in
trust for the heirs, who had never ap-
peared to claim the property. The
Wisconsin family has relatives in
Wallingford, and the Western Yales
asked the Eastern Yales to make an
investigation. The two who examined
the probate records were very careful
to conceal their names. The couple
have given up the search, satisfied
that the story was untrue. They had
also seen Prof Dexter, of Yale, and

Washington, Oct. 2O:William M.
Campbell Of tS. Paul, chairman Of the
Chippewa Indian commission in Min
nesota, is in Washington, conferring
with Secretary Smith and Commits
sioner Browning relative to the Indian
affairs in Minnesota Some time ago
the secretary issued an order directing
that hte affairs Of the commission
should be closed up as soon as possible
and notifying all Indians that they
must remove to the White Earth re-
servation by the first Of October, IL
they went at government expense. Mr..
Campbell thinks that more time should
be given the commission to settle the
affairs Of the Indians and that further
efforts to secure their removal may be
attended with good results. The scat
tered bands Of Indians do not want to
remove from the places where they
have lived for SO. many years, and
prefer the old place, even if they do
not secure any land for themselves
