From tho Chinese.

LONDON. Feb. 3.-A dispatch sent
from Che-Foo today states that the
Japanese have captured the island of
Lurking Tao, off Wei-Hal- after

terrific fire on the island forts for sew
cral hours. The Chin Sc gunncrs re-
sponded spiritedly. Several OF the
Chinese guns were disabled towards
the close of the bombardment. The
forts were badly damaged. Finally,
while the Japanese ships were still mr.
ing at the island forts, six vessels low
cred boats filled with marines armed
with cutlasses ana carbines. These
boats were pulled ashore in the teeth OF
the enemy's fire. and the Japanese then

the Pai-Chi-H HyaSe forts. on the south
eastern side of Wei-Hai-Wei, which forts
had been captured by them the day pre-
yious. The batteries of these forts. TO-
gether with the combined guns OF the
fleet, were then directed against the
Chinese war ships with such good effect
that the later sought shelter out OF range
of the guus. A high wind that was pre-
yailing prevented the Japanese from
renewing the attack. There are conflict
ing accounts of the result OF the fight
ing. The Japanese papers declare that
ten Chinese men-of-war and some tor
pedo boats were captured. According

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. - The senate

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Senator 3. Wash

DULUTH, Feb. 3.-Several reports
have been received in DuInth during
the winter of prospectors in the Rainy
lake and Seine river gold country being
frozen to death. A man by the name of
McLain was picked up within two miles
of Rainy Lake City on New Years
day, frozen stiff after he had walked
only one mile. The thermometer was
90 deg below zero. Today d. A. Mel
rose, who owns a great deal OF valuable
gold property in the Rainy lake and
Seine river district, received a letter
from James Cummings, stating that of a
party of nine prospectOrs who were
near Wild Potato k, about 100 miles
from Rainy Lake City and about 80
miles from Fort TraYers, on New Years
day, he was the only survivor. Cum
mings stated that it fell to 4S below
zero on New Years day, and that all of
the party sank from exhaustion from
the effects of the cold. He
managed TO reach camp near
Wild Potato creek, and thinks his
companions we're frozen. There is
variance of opinion in Duluth, but the
men vino have been in the gold region
say the cold there is terrible, and that
many of the prospectorS carry SO much
whisky that they are often nearly stupi-
fed. MeIrose left tonight for st. Paul,

JAMES #. LANE DEAD.
His Demise From Consumption After
n Brave Struggle TO Live.

Mr.. James F. Lane died yesterday morn
ing at 1890 clock at his home, No. 2l7
Jefferson street. The deceased was a well
known and popular young man. and his
death brings sorrow to many friends.
He had been in i'll health for over a year,
the dread disease. consumption, having
taken hold upon him. He made brave
fight against it and did not acknowledge
defeat until almost the last moment. He
continued in attendance upon his business
until a few days before his death.
Mr.. Lane came to Savannah from New
Jersey eight years ago and entered the
clothing business with Messrs. Appel q
Schaul. He was later connected with the
Falk Clothing Company, with which
he remained until he resigned last
summer TO enter business for himself
In September he opened a tailoring bust
ness on Whitaker street. With his popu-
larity and energy there is no doubt that
he would have made the business a thor
ough success. He was young man, brim-
fun of energy and enthu siasm, and threw
his whole soul into whatever he under
took. Added 20 this was a genial tenn
perament, with a readiness to aid and &C
commOdate others. These qualities made
him friends on every hand and make his
loss sincerely felt. He was a member of
the HIbernian Society, of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, division No. 1, and
lions.
Mr.. Lane resided Tor several years, and
up to few weeks ago, with his friend
Mr.. Z. J. O'Connor, but removed a few
weeks ago to No. M Jefferson for the
accommodation of his mother and sister,
who came to Savannah in the hope Of
nursing him to better health. His death
is a sad blow to them. He leaves one
other near relative, a brother, John F.

TO CUT DOWN THEIR PASSES.
The Railroads VIII Issue Fewer An
nuaIs Next Year ThAn Heretofore.

The annual agitation of the railroad
pass nuisance, which came before the ex-
cutive board OF the Southern States Pas
senger Association. recently always at
tracts some interest and attention on
the part of those who have been in the
habit Of receiving favors from the rail-
roads. more particularly those who have
no special grounds in which to ask or ex-
pect them.
The talk, however, is more with refer
ence to the annual passes which are is
sued in large numbers every year. While
the association is always talking about
the matter when the time comes around
for the annual distribution Of such fav-
Ors, 10 has never yet taken any positive
action In the matter. and IL is not consid-
cred likely that il ever viii for the reason
that most railroads feel that they can
take care Of the pass question themselves
in so far as 1t affects their own lines.
As usual thing large railroad systems
issue anywhere from 1,500 10 5000 annual
passes every year. Almost every official
OF railroad Of any particular prominence
usually receives this annual courtesy, and
has come TO look for it regularly. The
majority Of these ANNALS, however, is
never used at all as there are many rail-
roads never used by a large number to
whom ANNALS are issued. 1t is, never
lneless, an evil as in the case of the loss
of pass it might fall into the hands of
parties who would make dishonest use
OF IL. There are a good many others be-
sides railroad people 10 whom ANNALS are
issued, and in some Instances those who
happen TO get them are not too honest to
let them 80 into other hands.
Inc railroads as a rule, however, con-
template cutting down their pass lists
TINS year 10 very large extent. A prom
inent railroad official said the other day
that his line would probably cut its pass
list down 80 per cent, and this will be
done, too, without the intervention of the
association. Others Will probably take
the same steps, and il is likely that there
VIII be FAR less annual passes filled out
this year than has been the case in the
year just closing Those who usually re-
ceive annual passes are beginning to get
them now. Some Savannahians, railroad
officials, receive passes from railroads
that traverse the western plains and the
Rocky mountain section, territory which
they never have occasion or opportunity
to visit, perhaps, once in five or ten years
But so 1t goes. 1t is a customary cour-
tesy and all the railroads have a regu-
lar pass list which is the basis Of ex-
changes between them
