Philadelphia, Nov. 21.-The Pitzel
mystery deepens as time wears on. To-
day many theories in regard to the mys-
terry were knocked in the head by the
announcement that B. f. Pitzel, the sup
posed murdered man, was seen in Chi
cago less than two weeks ago. Presi-
dent Fouse of the Fidelity Life Insur-
ance association said today: "This
morning my Chicago representative tel
egraphed that A. NJ. Ryan, who is a bust
ness man of Chicago, called on him and
said that he saw b. Il. Pitzel in that
city less than two weeks ago. Mr. Ryan
SAID that he has known Pitzel for many
years and has had frequent transactions
with him and that it is impossible for
him to be mistaken. When they met,
Ryan did not know that Pitzel was sup,
posed to be dead and the two greeted
each other cordially and repaired to a
nearby saloon and had drink. Then
they separated and Ryan says that he
does not know whether Pitzel was To-
Gated in that city or not. However,
our men there and the Pinkerton detec-
tives have taken up the clew and it is
my opinion that Pitzel will be produced
within a few days"

STRUCK A TORPEDO.

~
Washington, Nov. 22.-The Chinese,
have lost the finest and most powerful
vessel of their navy, the great battleship,
Chen Yuen, which stood the bruDt Of the
fighting at Yalu. The news came to the
navy department in n cablegram received
today 1t states that the Chen Yuen
leaving Wei Hal Wei harbOr on the 18th
inst, accidentally struck torpedo. She
was beached, but was rendered useless
for lack of docking facilities. In despair
mt the catastrophe, the commander, Com
mOdore Tcin, committed suicide.
The Chen Yuen was magnificent
fighting machine very much like our own
battleship, the Maine. She was built in
Europe in 1882 and was of 1880 tons dis
placement 1t would appear from the
facts in the cable that the ship fell vic
tim to torpedOes placed by the Chinese
to guard the entrance TO Wei Hal Wei,
winch was the last of the great naval
strongholds Of the empire save Port Ar
thur now tottering. 1t was well that
Commodore Tcn committed suicide, for
he would doubtless have been de-
capitated as the result of his err
loss has deprived the Chinese navy of its
offensive nature. There remains the
Ting Yum, another powerful battleship
and a few lesser ironclads but without
the aid of the Chen Yuen they would
hardly dare to make an offensive cam
paign.
The departure Of the Chinese customs
chief, De Ting, to Japan Is regarded by
officials as the result of Japan's demand
for a direct offer from China. The De
Ting mentioned in the cable is said to,
be Dering, a German, who occupies the
position of commissioner of customs.
That he should be sent as the peace en-
voy is accounted for by officials on the
grounds that an indemnity was probably
to be secured on the customs receipts of
China. 1t has been one of Japan'ss
contentious that she would expect to re-
ceive the customs receipts of the big
Chinese ports in case an indemnity was
arranged. 1t is said the Chinese en-
voy will probably be the guest Of the
United States minister at Toxic. Japa-
nese officials say he will be accorded
every courtesy.
