Defeat Of Chinese Troops at

hai.Wei Stronghold.

YOKOHAMA, Jan. ga dispatch from
General Nodzu gives the details of fight
ing between Japanese and Chinese troops
at Hal Cheng. He says the Japanese
waited until the Chinese were within 600
yards of their position and then large
portion of the Fifth Brigade, with bat
talon of the Nineteenth Infantry, sup
ported by three batteries of artillery,
charged the Chinese on the left flank. The
enemy was taken completely by surprise
and fed in confusion toward the north
east and New Chwang.
Chinese prisoners state that the Chinese
attack was conducted by Generals Chang
Shung and Iku Tang. The Chinese num-
bered 10000.
Official dispatches from Yung Cheng
Ken state that the second batch of Jap
anese transports completed the landing of
troops at noon on January %. These dis
patches add that during the afternoon of
January 81 heavy firing was heard in the
direction of Wei-hai-wei, and Japanese out
posts in the evening reported that flashing
electric lights could be seen in the same
direction.
HIROSHIMA, Jan. 26. A dispatch re-
CelNeu dG JdpdueSo utduq udIGtIS 1IOIu Au-
miral Ito announces that the Chinese war
ships are still lying in the harbor of Wei
hai-wei. He adds that the Chinese forts
and torpedo-boats opened fire on the Jap
anese feet on January 81, but without
effect. The firing mentioned in the dispatch
from Yung Chang Ken was undoubtedly
the ineffective cannonade announced by
Admiral Ito, and the electric lights which
the Japanese outposts saw in the direction
of Wei-hai-wei must have been those the
Chinese warships and forts turned on the
Japanese feet.
TOXIC, Jan. 26.-General Nodzu reports
that 5000 Chinese troops, commanded
by General Chang Shung, are in the
vicinity of Wing Kow. Hsu has occupied
New Chwang. He also reports that the
Chinese yesterday renewed the attack upon
Hal Cheng and were repulsed after short
engagement.

The Senate Journal Loaded With Canal
Bill arguments.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The Senate journal of
yesterdays proceedings was so voluminous re-
lating to the Nicaragua bill that Immediately
after the gavel fell to-day Mr.. Kyle (Pop.) OF
North Dakota secured unanimous consent to
dispense with its reading.
Senator Hoar r. of Massachusetts, asked that
the rules of the Senate be considered to permit
the presence OF the members-elect OF the House
on the floor of the Senate.
Harris (D.) of Tennessee, in the chair, said
that such was the rule. Hoar said that some
of the doorkeepers did not so understand, and
so the Senator declared his request that the
privilege should be extended
Allen (P.) OF Nebraska presented resolu-
ton authorizing the Secretary oil the Treasury
to exercise his discretion in redeeming all
forms of paper currency in silver as often as he
is convinced that o systematic effort is being
made to deplete the gold reserve and force an
issue OF bonds. The resolution went over I'M
der the rules.
Mitchell (R.) of Oregon offered an amendment
to the sundry civil BILL providing for an inves-
tigation by the Treasury Department OF the de-
struction OF the eggs OF game fowls in the Upper
Rocky Mountain region and in Alaska.

ton from the Leao Tong peninsula are
continued with activity, but no signs of an
immediate departure are perceived. 1t is
known that orders have been given to
strengthen still further the force designed
for this movement, and the transportation
OF additional troops from Japan is now in
progress. The conviction is general that
Wei Hal Wei will be the object of attack,
although the Government allows no direct
indication of its purpose to appear. The
possibility IS recognized however, that
Northumberland Katsuira's needs may
require attention before the proposed
aggressive enterprise is carried out. This
officer remains at Hal Cheng at the head
of the Third Division of the Japanese army.
lie is believed to be threatened by large
bodies of the enemy from Moukden at the
north and from the old town of New
Chwang and its vicinity at the southwest.
The Chinese are reported to be concentrat-
ing the greater part of their available force
under General Sung, who recently suffered
defeat from katsura's troops. but who an
nounces that he will soon return to the
attack. Rumors of the arrival of strong
re-enforcements from the Mahommedan
cannot be authoritatively confirmed. The
levies hurriedly raised by Sung are totally
undisciplined and consist mainly of peas
antry, the majority of whom are not yet
supplied with arms.
Advices from Northumberland NodZu,
dated January s, contain nothing to show
that the military situation is unsatisfac-
tory, although the extreme cold is unfavor-
able to active operations.
A telegram from the headquarters of the
second army announces that ajor-General
Nogi, at the head of one brigade, captured
on January 10 the important town of Kai
Ping on the Lao Tung Peninsula, between
Flu Chao and New Chwang. This long
deferred movement was rendered necessary
by the exposed position of Lieutenant
General Katsura at Hal Chang. The divi-
sion which he leads and the army under
General Oyama are now in direct COM
munication, and although the greater part
of Oyama's force is destined to start ON a
new and momentous enterprise, he can
easily leave sufficient body to afford the
Hal Chang garrison all the support it needs.

CABLE-OAR WRECKED.

Injured.

OfIpman ThomaS malIey Is seriously
Injured.
An accident which severely injured Grip
man Thomas Malley of the Oak street cable
line and gave car full of passengers a
shaking up and fright occurred at the in
tersection of Laguna and Oak-streets on
Friday afternoon.
The automatic switch which throws the
grip away from the depression pulley in
the slot at that point refused to work and
the grip struck the pulley while going at
full speed. The car stopped as though it
had come in contact with a stone wall, and
Malley was thrown forward with tremen-
dous force against the grip.
The grip, front trucks and all the lower
gearing of the car were completely wrecked
and it was fully an hour before wrecking
crew could extricate the disabled car and
clear the track for traffic.
Gripman Malley was confined to his
home at 807 Oak street, when seen yester-
day, his right arm and shoulder so much
injured as to be useless and his whole body
stiff and sore from his contact with the
iron grip. He will not be able to return to
work for at least week. None of the pas
sengers were injured, as far as could be as
certained.

try but in the world. She is the most re-

OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. 26.-There was in
tense excitement in the Senate this morn
ing, when Sergeant of Pierce rose to ques-
ton of privilege and demanded of Senator
B. w. Taylor an explanation of the article
in the Tacoma Ledger over his signature,
which Sergeant read to intimate that
Senators Foss, Campbell and himself were
supporting Ankeny for a consideration.
Sergeant's excitement was almost beyond
control, and he told Taylor if he impugned
the motives of himself and his colleagues
in voting for Ankeny he was contempti-
BILE liar.
Taylor explained that he referred to the
lobby of Pierce County men who came
over to coerce him (Taylor) to vote for An
keny. Sergeant accepted the apology.
The fifteenth joint ballot was as follows:
Ankeny %, Wilson IS, Allen II, McMillen
s, Wallace 5, Turner 10, Rodgers %, G. H.
Warner 1, Manring 1; 100 votes cast; neces-
sary to choice, 81.

FOR PUGET SOUND BUSINESS.

There VIII Be a Hot Fight Betsceen the
Union Pacific and other Lines.
CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-The Union Pacific
has taken a stand that will cause the other
Western roads no end of trouble, and it is
possible that hot fight will result between
it and the lines in the Western Trunk Line
combination. When the agreement was
formed it was the understanding that the
Union Pacific should make no demand for
any of the Puget Sound business. This
was agreed to by the Union Pacific, and the
rate sheets were made up on that basis.
Now comes the Union Pacific, and without
word of warning asks that it be given a
portion of the Puget Sound business. The
other roads will have no option but to re-
fuse the demand of the Union Pacific, as it
was promised to the Northern Pacific line,
when that line came into the agreement
that it should have the Puget Sound bust
ness. If the Union Pacific begins any de-
moralization of rates, it will have on its
hands about the biggest fight that any road
in the country ever stood up against. The
other Western lines declare that they are in
no way responsible for any Generalization
if it should come, and which is very likely
to come, as the Union Pacific has init
mated very plainly that if it gets no share
of the Puget Sound business, it will take
steps to prevent the advance in rates which
the other lines had agreed should take eff
feet on February Is

Asbury Park, n. j., Detroit, Toronto, St.
Paul or Minneapolis, Atlanta, Ca, and
Atlantic City.
The railroad companies have been asked
to make reduced rate. The fixing of the
