Fun with Sea Turtles.

had with sea turtles on the edge of the
gulf stream, about 80 miles from Hat
teras. was part owner and captain
of the Mary Lyle at that time and was
coming up from Savannah with half
cargo of rice, when one morning the
lookout yelled to me to come up on deck
and look at the sea turtles. When got
up and looked over the rail, the whole
ocean, as far as l could see ahead of us,
was covered with turtles. They were
tremendous fellows and were padding
along lazily in the opposite direction to
that in which we were going
1T didn't take us long to rig up a
windlass and tackle and begin pulling
some of the old fellows aboard We
picked the biggest, as they came, and
in the course of three hours we had
caught .26, about all that we could
handily dispose of about the ship. Only
nine Of them lived until we reached
New York, and we sold them for good
prices. The shell of one that weighed
40 pounds is now in front of an eating
house OH Houston street, New York. l
would hate to say how many turtles
were in sight of the Mary Lyle that day
for fear somebody might think was
fish EARNING, but they came by us stead
lily for five hours, and when we got
we'll into the school it extended as far
as the eye could reach on all sides, and
there was turtle to about every 40
square feet Of water, and l didn't see
one that weighed less than 100 pounds. +"

China Concentrating Troops,
to Prevent an Invasion
Of the Enemy.
HER FORCES BADLY ARMED.
Every Nerve Being Strained
to Retrieve the Disaster
at Ping Yang. :.

LONDON, Sept. rs. a dispatch from
Shanghai says: Captain Tang, COM
mander Of the Chinese warship Chin
Yuen, which was sunk in the engage
ment of the Yalu river, is among the
saved. = - <
The British steamer Irene, from Ham
burg, with large quantities of NUM-
tons of war, has safely arrived at Taku
and landed her cargo. s..s. 49,"
1t is understood that the governor Of
Manchuria is concentrating all the
troops raised in that province upon
Mukden, and that on the route to Wi
Ju extensive earthworks are being
thrown up. The levies are composed of
hardy North Cinnamon and are excel
lent material, but they are badly armed,
only about 1900 Of them having good
military rifles. Further supplies, how
ever, are being hurried up from the
southern arsenals.
The Chinese force entrenched upon
the Yalu river is estimated to number
81, 600 men. Many Of them are raw
levies and also badly armed. The loss
of field guns, rifles and ammunition
suffered at Ping Yang has greatly en-
barrassed the Chinese war department.
It is recognized that
Battle Must Be Fought
on the Yalu, and the Chinese are strain
ing every nerve to retrieve the disaster
at Ping Yang.
European officers have doubt whether
Mukden is really the immediate objec-
tive Of the Japanese. It is considered
more probable that if they attack Wi
Ju the Japanese will make a descent
from the sea upon Neu Chwang with
an expeditionary force. If this move
ment should be successfully made the
Japanese would cut the Chinese main
line Of communication and could at
tack the Yalu army in the rear. Neu
Chwang, in the possession of the JAP
anese, would form base for a move
ment upon Mukden, or upon Pekin it.

Choice Of the Tammany
Braves,

SARATOGA, Sept. 25.-There is not a
man versed in the ways Of conventions
OF political parties that ever saw sit
uation like that which confronts the
Democratic convention. The predica-
ment is explained in a very few words
by Lieutenant Governor Sheeaan. He
said:
There is not a man or politician
here who knows who the nominee of
the party will be until the convention
decides. It is anybody or any faction
candidate and the convention will be a
Democratic one in every sense Of the
word" ~
It is perfectly probable and not at all
out of the line Of possibilities that there
would be repetition Of the convention
of 1876, when the galleries nominated
Seymour for governor, he afterwards
declining to run and Robinson being
selected as the candidate. ,
Hill the Most Popular.
The reception that will be accorded to
Senator Hill by the convention will I'M
doubtedly take a remarkable phase and
will be scene long to be remembered
by every person present, and it is per-
fectly probable that he will be nomin.
ated by reclamation from the galleries.
That he will decline, however, is almost
certain, and then there will have to be
a new nomination. Senator Hill has
arrived and opened headquarters at the
Grand Union hotel. From the time of
his arrival until the late hours of the
night he was besieged by crowds of del
egates. To the Associated Press re-
porter he said:
