 lean Steamer Yorktown-The Chinese
 Leaving the City in a Panic and Great
 Confusion.
 LONDON, Jan. 2s.-The Times corre- spondent in Shanghai says: News of the bombardment of Teng Chow has arrived at the American mission via Che-Foo. On the afternoon of Janu- uary IS, three Japanese war ships were seen moving along the coast, out of range. shot was fired at the fort west of Teng Chow and another at the defenseless city. No notice was given. The mission college and residences, 200 yards north of the city, were in the di- rect line of fire.
 The Japanese retired in the evening, but returned the next morning and bonn barded the town from noon till 4:40 o'clock. The shells fell in the city, many of them round the mission premises over which the American flag waved. The missionary named Hayes put off in boat waving the American and white flags. He got close to the Japanese ships, but his hail was ignored, the Japanese steaming away.
 The American war ship Yorktown arrived at Teng Chow on the goth and took away several foreigners the next day. The others decided to remain. The Chinese were in panic and were leaving the city. A severe snowstorm added to the confusion

His Time Hadn't Come

Few men have had the experience that Eddy Davis, the youthful alleged murderer at Savannah. Ga., under went, and none before in Savannah's criminal history. Davis was dressed in his death suit the coffin was ready and wagon stood outside the jail, waiting for his body. His spiritual ad- visor had concluded the preliminary services for the dying. The unfortunate boy had bid all his fellow-prisoners good-by; he had made his last state ment for the public, announced himself ready" to die, and standing in front of the gallows-room, looking at the long rope, with its deadly moose, when, over the telephone, came message from his lawyer, asking a postpone ment of the execution for two hours, until Gov. Atkinson's final answer to last appeal for a respite could reach Savannah. Davis was just four minutes from the drop;deputy sheritfs even had the black cap and binding cords ready. Shortly after 1 o'clock telegram was received by the sheriff from Gov. Att kinson, granting Davis a areprieve until February 5. When Davis heard of his respite he wept for joy.

In reference to sewerage the report says:
 ''The sewerage system of the asylum is not at all satisfactory, and has for some time been not only a source of annoyance and trouble to the institu- tion, but to the residents of the city of Little Rock living on the line of tho outlet. An estimate from sewer ex- perts placed the cost of running the pipes to the river, the only feasible out let, at about s10,0O0 would suggest, however, the propriety of connect ing the asylum sewers with the sewers leading from the state penitentiary to the river, as I think it will cost much less than distinct and separate sewer I understand from reliable source that the penitentiary pipes are large enough to carry off all of our drain- age"

VIII Probably be Made by the Treasury
 Department.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-It Is understood in New York that the secretary of the treasury will issue call for $50, 0,00o,- GOO 4-per-cent. bonds tomorrow. The only contingency which might prevent the contemplated programme would be the agreement of the leaders in con- gress upon some financial measure which would be satisfactory to the ad- mi stration. Without speedy legisla- tion in sight, the administration, it is understood, will not defer bond issue as the situation imperatively de- mands replenishment of the gold re- serve.
 It is asserted that new issue of fours could be made payable in 1907 and would matere in twelve and one- half years from the date of issue. It would be difficult to float another is- sue of fives at satisfactory price, both because there are so many in the market and the high rate of premium makes them undesirab ble to both in- vestors and banks.
