GREAT NAVAL Battle.
A Trial of Strength Between Japanese and
Chinese War yessels-Several Chinese
ShiDs Reported sunk.


Chinese War vessels-several Chinese
Ships Reported Sunk.
LONDON, Sept 20.-Dispatches re-
ceiyed here from Shanghai confirm the
report of a severe battle fought on the
Value river between the fleets of China
and Japan. These dispatches also agree
in saving that the Chinese ships were
escorting troops bound for Corea. The
battle was fought on the bay at the
mouth of the Value river. The Chi
nese troops were in the Second
army corps. composed entirely of Hua-
nese. According to Chinese version,
there was no thought of surrender on
either side. The ships of both nations,
il is admitted, were terribly damaged
The Japanese had the advantage of the
weather and so unanswered that both
the Chinese boats and transports had
to fight it out.
The Chen Yuen, these dispatches say.
after fighting herWuns to the last, was
sunk by torpedoes. and a smaller
Chinese vessel, which was unarmed,
was blown up. The steel cruiser Chao
Yunp. it is added was so damaged that
she had TO be beached to escape capture.
The Chinese Yang Hei was also driven
ashore and has become a hopeless
wreck. The Chinese claim that three
japanese warships were sunk-their
names are not given in these dispatches.
The news of the naval battle has
created intense excitement.
Another dispatch from Shanghai
saws that the Chinese warship sunk
was the Chi Yuen, although it is be-
/ lieved that mistake has been made,
and that the important Chinese war
/ ship sunk by torpedoes is the battle
/ ship Chen Yuen. the flagship of the
Chinese northern squadron, com
manded by Adm. Ting.
Further dispatches from Shanghai
dated yesterday announce that in the
naval battle off the Yaule river the
| entire Northern feet of China was en-
gagged. reinforced by some ships of the
| Foo Chow squadron. The Chinese are
said to have been hampered by want
of room to maneuver. The number OF
japanese warships is not stated and
many OF their vessels were stationed
off Ping Yang inlet at the mouth 81
the Ia Tong river. Their number il
the Gulf of Corea was probably small
The Shanghai advices say that it i
significant that two or three Chimes
transports which were conveyed by
the warships of China have not re
turned and it is rumored that they
were all blown up. with the loss of al
hands on board. From Chinese garri
sons it is gathered that the loss OIL
both sides in the naval engagement
will reach several thousand.

THE CORN CROP.
United States VIII Raise About 100000
600 Bushels.


New YORK. Sept. 20.-The World
Yesterday morning published a de-
tailed statement from hundreds of
western towns. showing a heavy short
ace in the corn crop. The World says:
The biggest crop raised by any country
is Indian corn and the United States Is
the country that raises it. In good
year the United States produces 2.000.-
100000 bushels of this staple and has
produced more. At the average mar
l1et price these 1900. DOC. coo bushels are
worth 81 600. 600. 900. or about ten times
as much as the gold production of the
whole world for a year. \ severe
drought has greatly reduced the yield
Just how much, is what many people
would be very glad to know. and the
World. therefore. prints reports from
nearly 200 correspondents throughout
the corn region
These reports cover the states of
Ohio. Indiana. Illinois. Kentucky,
Michigan. Wisconsin. Minnesota. Mis-
souri,. Kansas. Nebraska and South
Dakota.
The twelve states include the great
corn belt of the United States. and in
an average year produce about - per
cent. of the corn crop. The govern
meut report makes the yield this year
|. 100. 600. 600 bushels. but most all the
corn authorities say this Is too low.
These reports indicate about two
thirds of an average crop. or in tho
neighborhood of 1900. 900. 600 bushels.
The greatest reduction has been in the
states west of the Mississippi. and their
loss has been heavy. Kansas. which
raises more than 15O.O00.000 bushels in
good year. reports only 42.00o-00o
bushels. But the states east of the
Mississippi river. where rain is more
certain quantity. pull up the average.

PRESS COMMENTS.

A Republican Taken to Task BY
Republican.
After securing the whole territory for
man willing to accept the nomination, the
delegates gave up the search about 3
o'clock this morning, and went to bed.
Every man who has ever been prominent
ly mentioned in connection with the
place. was offered the honor, but all de-
clined. Finally it was determined that
Joseph would have to run again. He
protested vigorously on account of his
important private interests, ETC., but
since he had been nominated by the
party five times, when nominations
meant something, it was argued that it
was his duty to take 1t now, and not
shove it on to some one else because
there was no hope of success, and this
was the verdict of the convention.-Albu-
querque Citizen.
1t seems to this paper that if the APP
preaching Republican campaign for the
election of congressional delegate, is to
be fought along the lines indicated in the
foregoing extract of the Citizen, then the
Republican party had as we'll retire be-
fore it begins. There is no political
sagacity, not to speak of reliability and
consequent influence for Republican
journal, in wilfully disappearing the
opposing forces in it's plans and pros
poets.
From all the Optic can learn, tho
Democratic convention at Las Cruces
was one of the largest. ablest and most
enthusiastic ever held by that party in
New Mexico; the territory was not scour-
ed for candidate, but candidates were
numerous and active, seeking the nomi
nation with avidity; Mr.. Joseph was not
unwillingly pressed into service as a
derner resort, but from the first he de-
manded the nomination as due recogni-,
tion of his services; and the verdict OF
the convention was that he should have
the nomination because he both sought
and merited it. What good, then, can
the Citizen expect to accomplish by de-
liberately misrepresenting these things?
If the Republicans enter upon this
cam paign with the idea that the Demo-
Gratis are divided, disheartened and likely
to prove an easy prey, they will awaken
after the election in November to find
that silly over-confieence has been
their ruin.-Las Vegas Optic.

nominees for county commissioners,
Messrs. John Newcomb, w. G. Mcdonald,
and V. II. Lush, are all men who, having
attained success in their private affairs,
may be relied upon to protect with great
ability the interests of the county. They

honesty and honorable action can not be

and stockraiser. Mr.. Mcdonald is es-
pecially strong among the mining ele

generally in that county are to be con-
graduated on the prospect of having

the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand

gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.
