Every day brings crowds to Wilkinson S.
We are increasing business by our up to-date
methods. Goods must go and dollars must
come, even if prices are clipped to point
where profit vanishes. The furs, cloaks and
dress goods, share in the price reductions as
well as the holiday stock. The changes we

selling absolutely necessary. Buy your

VIII Not Interferc In tho War Between
Jnnan and China.

VIII Not Interfere In tho War Between
japan and China.
MARsEILLEs, Feb. g. = Quang Tech
Thaung, the Chinese envoy extraordinary,
has arrived here He is entrusted with a
mission by his government to ask France,
Germany, Austria and Russia to mediate
for peace between China and Japan.
WASHINGTON, Feb s.--Tbe cable dis
patch from London showing purpose on
the part of Great Britain, France and
Russia to Interfere at the proper stage of
hostilities between Japan and China has
attracted much attention in diplomatio
circles here. and has acquired additional
significance when taken in conjunction
with the recent speech from the thrope of
Queen Victoria.
The latter, in a very guarded and
diplomatic manner, limited that when the
time came the relations between the great
powers would be found sufficiently har-
monious TO insure the restoration OF peace
between Japan and China.
BY the terms Of the understanding, as
reported, Japan will not be permitted to
acquire an inch of the territory on the
Chinese mainland. This, OF course, would
prevent her from retaining Port Arthur
or Wei Hal Wei, the great Chinese naval
strongholds, or any part OF Manchuria,
which she has occupied after hard light
ing.
But, on the other hand it 10 believed
here that the statement carries Distinct
intimation that Japaninay claim the greas
island OF Formosa. winch is most Inn
portant strategicai possession. This Is In
habited by fierce Malay tribes, who have
never been subjugated, and even after
their long nominal possession, the Chinese
have been unable to do more than get .
foothold on the coast.
1t has been confidently expected here
that the European powers would inter-
vene between Japan and China whenever
1t should appear that the latter country
was really vanquished and was suing In
vain for peace upon reasonable terms, but
SO far as the dispatch referred to indicates
any possibility of action In that line by
the United States in conjunction with
other powers it Is clearly erroneous. for 1t
can be positively stated that under no con-
ditions can the president be induced to de-
part SO far from our established policy OF
non-intervcnton.
1t Is no cause OF surprise here that Ger
many, too, will refrain from joining In an
intervention which would be surely dis
tasteful TO Japan, for the latest reports
from our consuls In the latter country
show that the German traders are making
extraordinary progress in supplanting all
other foreigners even Americans, in se-
curing control Of the valuable japanese
fnrni1n trntie.

BROOKLYN, Feb. 8. - Mayor Schieren
has vetoed the resolution adopted by the
board Of aldermen revoking the permits

IL is plain beyond doubt that the respective

win of tho common council, and that the
revocation sought TO be declared is void. Tho
resolution could have no effect whatever in
law, and no effect In fact except for mischief.
There has been already much disturbance.

continuance Of disorder ought promptly and
positively be discouraged.

The Chinese fleet soon came TO the as.
sistance OF tho forts. The Ting Yuen used
her 37-ton guns (sic) without effect, but
succeeded in diverting some of the Japan
ese fire from the forts to herself. The
Lsi- Yuen, a smaller ship, was also fought
well. She sustained much damage.
There were many casualties. The Chi
nese gunboats also assisted, but were not
badly damaged. These four vessels fought
desperately until dark, when the firing
ceased on both sides.
The Chinese forts, especially Fort Zhih,
suffered immense damage. The slacken-
ing Chinese FIRE toward evening indicated
that the guns were disabled, that the gun
ners were killed or that ammunition was
becoming scarce. The sea was rough Sun
day night. but fearing that the Chinese
would escape, the Japanese fleet did not
seek shelter, remaining to block the exits
from the harbor.

During the night the Japanese learned
from prisoner who had been captured
ashore that Admiral Ting, the Chinese
naval commander, had ordered the cap
tains Of the various ships to remain inside
the harbor, even II the island should be
captured, and endeavor to destroy the
Japanese feet. Every officer was ordered
to remain at his post until the last under
pain of dishonor or death.
The bombardment was resumed Mon
day, Sundays operation being repeated.
The fire from Fort Zhih continued weak.
The Chinese men-of-war were so re-
peatedly- and badly hit that their guns
were handled with difficulty and with less
spirit. Toward the close Of the fight tho
