The Japanese, though outnumbered two
to one, attacked this force and dispersed
it completely. The army corps to which
this formidable movement was intrusted
has ceased to exist, a;d though the
runaways have been traced for fifty
miles, not the slightest sign of an organ
lied body has been found by the /Japa-
Dese pursuers.
The first and second Japanese armies
are without doubt within easy commune
cation. ~
The cold in Manchuria is intense, the
average temperature of the extreme
northern outposts being 13o below zero.
The soldiers suffer many discomforts,
and many of the laborers have died from
exposure. Fresh supplies of thick cloth

Every effort is being made by officials
In the interior of China to conceal the

AFFAIRS IN CoREA.
SEOUL, Dec. 20.-Since the departure of
the preceding mail a complete reergan-
lZatlon of the Corean Government has
taken place under Count Inouye's ener-
getlc dictation. The removal of Tai Won
Kun from the Prime Ministry has been
followed by disclosures duplicating sew
eral members Of the cabinet in plots
against the japanese andsin secret COM
municatlons with the Chinese court. 1t
is now established beyond dispute that
the incessant Tong Hak instructions are
not due to popular discomfort, but have
been directly instigated by officials in the
Coreau Capital, with the purpose of
thwartlng the projects Of the Japanese
representatives and preventing the ex-
tension Of Japanese influence.
Count lnOuye sought to establish nearer
relations with the throne, signifying his
inclination TO look upon it's occupant as
the real center of authority. The results
OF this new departure are said to be thus
far satisfactory. Since the intercourse
between the King and Count Inouye be-
gan to take this confidential form it is
noticed that the Tong Hak outbreaks s
have been suspended.
Several members Of the Government
nave been threatened with assassination
II they undertake seriously TO carry out
the proposed measures for reform. An
attempt to murder the Home Minister on
December 18th was defeated only by the
vigilance OF Japanese employees on the
police force.
The English attaches in the Corean
Chlnas dominion is at an end, and have
accepted offers of employment by the
Government of Corea.

tacne OF the Japanese Finance Depart
ment, has gone to Corea with large staff

AFTER T,HE STORM

! Washouts Repaired and Trains on
Iime-Water About Woodland.
At Superintendent Wright's Office yes
terday it was learned that the trains were
| running regularly and on time over the
Central Pacific line, the snowplows hav-
| ing kept the tracks all clear, although
there is fifteen feet OF snow at the SUM-
NIT.
On the Oregon line the trains are also
| moving without difficulty.
The railroad company has large force
OF men at work on the breaks between
Davisviile and Woodland, and expect to
have trains running there by this alter
noon. Had the waters not remained SO
| high the Washouts would have been re-
| paired before this.
On Friday night the knights Landing
train from this city was caught between
TWO Washouts near Merritt's, and had to
| be abandoned. The water rose over the
track rapidly, and the passengers and
traln-handS had to wade out to a farm
| house near by on high ground.
Among the passengers was an eloping
couple from somewhere beyond Davis
! vile, who had come to Sacramento and
| been married and were on their wedding
| tour. The hands so recently Joined to-
| gether were once more joined as the bride
and groom started out bravely to stem
the rushing flood. but suddenly they
struck a submerged culvert in the dark
ness and disappeared from view. All
finally reached the farmhouse and were
cared for as well as possible.
AS the track washed away under the
abandoned train, some of the cars were
overturned, but men from this city went
out on Saturday, and with boats secured
the mail and express matter.
Woodland was isolated by the floods
The current was so strong that 'cribs''
had to be built in repairing the tracks.
The work OF repairs progressed fast yes
terday. and it is probable that trains will
be running over the Willows road this
afternoon.
The American River rose rapidly on
Saturday, but the surplus ran off before
the water from the Feather and Yuba
Rivers reached here, and the river gauge
at the bridge yesterday marked only y
feet inches.
The steamer Modoc brought up news
yesterday that the levees on all the islands
were safe, that at Grand Island, which
was recently raised, standing eight feet
above the water. No fear is expressed
blythe residents there of any trouble.

Livermore in opposite directions. After
he had wired the order he realized his
mistake, but there was no telegraph office
on the line between the two points, and
he had to wait for news OF the wreck that

by fully 1000 persons was held in ARM
ory Hall this afternoon under the au-
spices of the American Protective Asso-
citation, the Knights Of Pythias, the Odd
Fellows and Sons of Temperance, to pro-
test against the recent edict OF the Pope
placing the latter three secret societies
under the ban of the Catholic Church. G.
w. Van Fossen, President of the State
American Protective Association, made a
speech OF a halt-hour's duration, review
ing papal interference in the affairs of
European countries and the nited States.
u. w. Gallagher, Congregational min
lister, spoke in behalf OF the ODD Fellows.
He declared that this order was thor
oughly Christian and eminently humane
in teaching and practice; He briefly. re-
viewed its history and enumerated it's
charitable deeds. Why the Pope did not
want Catholics to be Odd Fellows was
because the Catholic Church, TO exist
must confiue the mental visions of its
members to the narrow channels of
ignorance. superstition and fear. 10 go
into odd Fellowship broadened mans s
mind, and therefore unbelitted him to be
Catholic.
ReV. b. +. Rattery, Congregational
minister, spoke briefly as a Son of
Temperance. 1t stood the Pope we'll in
hand to place temperance under the ban,
he declared, since four-tiiths of the
Catholic Church are keepers of dives, sa-
looms and gambling joints. He was will
ing for any American to hold whatever
religious views he pleased, but the Pope
and the Catholic Church must keep their
hands OF OF American institutions,

Taylor, President and Secretary of the
State American Protective Association,
with bribing the Pope to issue his edict
so as to drive all Catholics from other
societies into the American Protective
Association, the only society left not
under the ban. The Senator said the
Pope's edict had made a. z. AS out of
