Hustled, thirty days ago. sustained plain
tif's demurrer to defendants answer, and
gave defendant thirty days in which to
elect whether to appeal or to amend its
pleadings. Defendant has filed an amend
ed answer, which simply sets forth, with
added emphasis, the contention in the orig
inal answer that defendant is essentially
a fraternal and benevolent organization,
Defendants counsel announced that if
demurrer to the amended answer be Sus-
tanned defendant will appeal to the state
Supreme Court, and, If beaten there, to the

it was decided to assist the Loyalists IN
this fight; also, that these societies have

Among the societies mentioned as inter-

HIROSHIMA. Japan, Feb 3.-The envoys
from China who were sent to negotiate
for peace with Japan, will leave this city
for Nagaski tomorrow. An examination of
their credentials revealed the fact that
the ENJOYS did not have plenary power
to treat for peace and they were thereupon
told that they had better return to their
own country.
PARIS, Feb. "a dispatch from Toxic
states that the Chinese envoys were quite
ignorant of the trick that had been played
upon them by the Chinese government. They
supposed that they had been given full
powers to treat for peace. When their Gre
dentials We're opened, it was found that
they had no power either to conclude or
sign treaty of peace. Count Ito Hiro-

told them that Japan was willing to re-
open negotiations with a properly empow-

After Desperate Fighting.

Island Of Lui kunS Tao Captured
After Desperate Fighting.
LONDON. Feb. s-Advices from Che Foo
says the Japanese have captured the
island of Lu Kung Tao, off Wei-Hai-Wei,
after desperate fighting. The dispatch adds
that the Japanese fleet maintained terrific
fire on the island for several hours. The
Chinese gunners responded spiritedly. Sew
eral of the Chinese guns were disabled to-
wards the close of the bombardment. The
forts were badly damaged. Finally, while
the Japanese ships were still firing at the
island forts, six vessels lowered boats filled
with marines armed with cutlasses and car
bines. Thase boats were pulled ashore in
the teeth of the enemy's fire and the Japan
ese then carried all the Chinese batteries
successfully by storm after fierce fighting.
Many on both sides were killed and wound
ed. A large number of prisoners were
taken. When the dispatch left the Chinese
and Japanese fleets were hotly engaged.
A dispatch to the Times from Tien-Tsin
saws that the latest news received there
from Wei-Hai-Wei show that half the
northern forts on the mainland are holding
ont against Japanese assaults. A Japanese
shin was damaged and torpedo boat sunk
while attempting to force the northern en-
trance of the harbor.
4 dispatch to the Times from Wei-Hai-
Wei states that the Chinese fleet made
an attempt to escape from the harbor but
failed.
a Yokohama dispatch says: Further de-
tails of the fighting at Wei-Hai-Wei are
at hand and from these it is learned that
on Thursday last the Japanese manned the
Pal Chi Hyaiso forts, on the southwestern
side of Wei-Ha;-Wei. which forts had been
captured by them the day previous. The
~. f1,., x-fsr.
combined guns OF the fleet were then di-
reeted against the Chinese war ships with
such good effect that the latter sought
shelter out of range of the guns. A high
wind that was prevailing prevented the Jap
anese from renewing the attack There are
conflicting accounts of the result of the
fighting. The Japanese papers declare that
