HIROSHIMA, Feb. 2.-Oficial dispatches
show that the capture of the forts at Wei
hai-wei was due to the skillful combined
movements of the japanese. The chief
forts at Pal Chi Hyiaso were taken after a
few hours of fighting, while some of the
others were stubbornly defeated.
The Japanese Sixth Division was under
arms at . o'clock in the morning and the
advance was Immediately ordered. The
assault of the Chinese defenses began at
daylight and by o'clock the outlying
batteries and trenches were almost all
taken. Meanwhile the Second army corps
was assaulting the Pal Chi Hyiaso forts on
the southwest. These defenses were of
great strength and had precipitous sides
100 feet high.
The attack was made under cover of a
furious bombardment from the japanese
feet. Here was the main point of Chinese
resistance. After the fighting had pro-
ceeded some hours, the sixth division hay
ing driven back the enemy, they made a
detour, and, advancing behind Count Ku
with his japanese troops, made a strong
attack from that side on the Pal Chi
Hyiaso forts, which were captured by u 80
p. NJ.
The japanese feet then by a precon-
certed arrangement proceeded to take pos
session of the eastern entrance to the har-
Dor, and by 8 P. NJ. all the forts about Pal
Chi Hyiaso to the southwest were cap
tured and the Chinese were retreating
toward Fung Lin Chu.
At 4:30 P. NJ, when these dispatches were
sent, the battle was still raging, the Chi
nese feet and the forts of Yatao, Thamao
and Warng Tao were furiously replying to
the japanese, whose ships were maneuver-
ing so as to block the entrance to the
harbor.
CHEFoo, Feb. 2.-The western forts of
Wei-hal-wei were taken by the Japanese on
January 80 in spite of good resistance made
by the Chinese. One Japanese gunboat
was sunk after having been badly dam
aged. A shell burst in the magazine of one
OF the Chinese forts and the whole store of
powder blew up, and is believed to have
caused great mortality.
The eastern forts were bombarded for
hours by the Japanese cruisers Naniwa,
Akitsushima and Katsura. The Japanese
fire was well directed and dismounted sew
eral guns, but neither the eastern forts or
the city of Wei-hai-wei were captured.
The authorities of Chefoo are Selling and
beheading Chinese soldiers who ran away
from Wei-hai-wei. Further operations are
impossible for the present, owing to the
severity of the weather.
SHANGHAI, Feb. Ut is stated that the
British, French and Russian Ministers at
Toxic and Picking have received instruc-
tons from their Governments to advise
Japan and China to arrange terms of
peace

The Greeks Mourn.

John Martin, prominent Greek citizen,
died Friday last at his residence on Vallejo
street. He was the founder of the Helene
Mutual Benevolent Society of this city, and
was widely known and loved among his
countrymen for his philanthropy.

of need was always willing to assist his
countrymen.

FUNDING BILL DEAD.
Continued from First Page.

mann of Oregon, who voted for the pre-
vious question on the rule bringing up the
bill yesterday, to-day voted to recommit,
as did every Californian and Newlands of
Nevada and Doolittle of Washington.
Wilson Of Washington was absent. Reed
of Maine was also absent. He was paired
with Bourke Cochran, who, it is believed,
would have voted against recommittal. 1t
appears that 127 Democrats, 80 Republi-
cans and IL Populists voted to recommit.
Mcguire received many congratulations.
He has been ably assisted by Representa-
tives Caminetti and English, who are also
receiving the handshakes of friends. The
Californians, too, were given strong sup
port by Boatner, McMillin, Bryan, Hol-
man, McRae, Swanson, Dockery, Harris,
Cooper of Wisconsin, Breckenridge and
Jerry Simpson. The work of Mayor Sutro
was very effective in that his short but
unique petitions called general attention to
the frauds of Central Pacific directors and
to the work of Huntington's lobby here.
Mcguire and English are loud in their
praise of THE CALL as the stanch friend of
California. They say its support was an
important factor in bringing about to-day's
victory.
Mr.. Mcguire said tonight that of course
there would be no more funding bills in
this Congress unless the Secretary of the
Treasury, by advice of the Attorney Gen
eral, finds some defect in the existing laws
relating to the applicability of the sinking
fund, in which case the question may be
presented to Congress in some other shape.
In default it is made to appear that the
fact may be brou ght to the attention of
Congress and appropriate action taken, in
case the railroad may renew its effort to
compromise on cash basis, and perhaps
they will do so anyhow.

Mr. Brunt's amendment providing that the
association should hold no races on Sun
day was by motion laid on the table. The
subject was very thoroughly discussed, and
it was concluded that until Saturday
half-holiday was matter of custom here,
it would only be possible to hold the asso-
cations road races on Sundays.
Some changes will be made in the relays
before that race takes place next April.
The matter was referred to the road racing
committee, who will remeasure all Of the
distances.
The association will send delegates to the
Good Roads Convention to be held IN Sac
ramento on the 7th inst.
A resolution was carried, in effect that
the association is in favor of Saturday
half-holiday.
A vote of thanks was rendered the Bay
City Wheelmen for the use of their rooms
for the purpose of holding the meeting.
The association then adjourned to meet
Saturday evening, March ?, in the rooms Of
the Acme Club Wheelmen of Oakland.

DENLY Jr. Says the japanese Army Will
Fail to Get There.
New YORK, Feb. 2.-Charles DENLY Jr,
secretary of the United States legation at
Picking, arrived here to-day on board the
Paris from Southampton. He has been
away from Picking on leave for the last
three months. To a reporter Of the Asso-
ciated Press Mr.. DENLY said:
1.-THE overwhelming defeat of the Chinese
armies is great surprise. However, do
not think the prospects of the Japanese
army reaching Picking are very bright. If
the troops went by land it would be a long
march of 200 or 800 miles around the Gulf
OF Pechili from their present situation, and
it would take eighteen or twenty hours
steaming for the transports to reach Taku,
the seaport of Picking, and to take Taku
would be serious undertaking, for it is
very strongly fortified. This is the post
where the British troops met with a re-
verse on one of their invasionS of the
country"
/ Mr.. DENLY thought the prospects of for
eigners getting away from Peking in case
of a sudden attack were not very bright.
He said there was no distinction made in
the minds of the Chinese between nation
alities. All foreign residents come under
the same head with them. Mr.. DENLY
was asked if he thought the United States
was well represented by warships in Chi
nese waters. He said:
''There are more United States men-of-
war on the station now than there have
been for years. The Monacacy is there;
the Baltimore, Charleston and Concord
are on the station, and so is the Petrol.
though the latter vessel is frozen up at
New Chang, where she will likely stay
until March. The Detroit is also bound
for China. saw her at Port Said when l
was there"
Mr.. DENLY declined to discuss the prob
able effect of the war on China and Japan.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Secretary Gresham
to-day received two important kilograms
from the Orient. One was from Minister
DENLY at Peking saying, under date of
February 20, that three forts at Wei-hai-
wei had been taken by the Japanese.
The other message, from Minister Dun
at Toxic, also dated to-day, says briefly
that the peace commission met at Hiro-
shima yesterday and that Count Ito and
Viscount Matsu have been appointed COM
missioners on the part of Japan.

THE PILLARS NOT AFFECTED.
Pine Trees Form Part of the Col
ufnns of the CnpItoI

Recently 1t was decided to put an iror
roof upon the Capitol building, and the
question OF the strength of the large pill
lars OF the portico arose. The Governor
thereupon instituted an inquiry into the
matter.
Colonel Thomas r. Pollard, engineer OF
the Capitol, cut into the extreme south
western column and found that the col
umns were of brick, eighteen inches thick,
but that the interior was OF pine trees.
which were almost entirely consumed by
dry-rot. The tree struck in the pillar
was about a foot In diameter and the
only particle OF heart remaining was not
more than an inch through. 1t was
learned however. that the columns
were simply built around these timbers,
and that they were not originally intend
ed 10 afford the building any strength.
Colonel Pollard could not ascertain wheth-
er the columns were built around
growing trees in any instances or not,
but he is confident that the pillars are
perfectly substantial.
About a year ago the late Major
Gaines, Register OF the Land-Ohice made
a similar examination into one Of the
eastern pillars. with the same result.
The cornerstone of the capital was laid
in 1875. but IL was eight or ten years
sfterward before the building was nm
ished.
