An interesting account of the battle of
Peitsang came to the war department
late yesterday afternoon from General
Chaffee. 1t is dated Aug. ) at the front.
Though brief, it covers considerable
ground and tells in a few words from a
military point of view how the battle was
fought and what the next move of the al
lied forces would be. 1t is evident from
General Chaffee's account Of the battle
that it did not take place exactly as plan
ned at the conference of the foreign COM
manderS
General Chaffee's message is as fol-
lows:
"Peitsang handsomely taken early this
morning by japanese troops supported by
English and American.
Japanese loss considerable. English
slight. Americans none. Ground very
limited.
''In morning American troops occupied
rear position. which was to form turning
movement but were unable to form in
the line.
"Pei-Ho to left bank tomorrow morn
ing and move ON Yangtsun.
Consul at Chefu furnished copy dis
patch from tsung-li-yamen dated July 30,
which he has cabled."
Admiral Remey has sent the following
dispatch to the secretary of the navy,
dated Taku, Aug. 6, via Chefu. Aug s:
"Chaffee reports japanese took Peit-
sang morning 9th. Engagement over be-
fore Americans could arrive. Movement
probably continued to Yangtsun. Inform
secretary war"

ter Conger's latest Dispatch which the
British minister practically has duplcat-
ed give encouragement to the administra-
tion in the hope Of final settlement in
peace. China has backed down on the
objection to cipher messages and open
dispatches for the ministers as a conse-
Quence of the successful issue of the bat
tie at Pietsang.
1t reasonably is expected that another
disaster to the Chinese arms at Yang
tsun, if not before the battle there, will
break down all remaining barriers and
force a guarantee from the tsung-li-yamen
or the Chinese emperor that the foreign
ministers will be fully protected, relieved
from attack and provided with the food
necessary for their sustenance until the
powers can furnish them with every other
requirement the dignity Of their station
demands.

when they come TO market, and in this

partment officials were averse today to

stated that a search OF the records failed
TO show that Mr. Macrum had ever re-
ported 20 the department that his Official

that he dd in general way report that
both Official and private NAL intended for
American citizens did not reach him pune
tually and asked that protest be made on
account OF this rather arbitrary proceed
ing on the part OF the postal authorities
The department investigated the matter
and learned that no unnecessary deiay
existed. and does not credit the state
ment that any correspondence. official or
otherwise. was opened. inspected and de-
layed by British authorities.
Mr. Macrum stated that his vice consul.

HOGS WERE WEAK
Market Declined 2 1-2CentS
on DiscOuraging AdViceS.
TOP PRICE WAS S4.57 ~
Cattle Market Was Active and
Firm.

The hog market was weak to 21k cents
lower yesterday. The market opened
weak and declined slowly on discouraging
adVices from other markets. There was
a general lower tendency which tended
TO make the market draggy and weak
Toward the close a f1rmer feeling was
evidenced and the market closed about
steady.
The quality yesterday was decidedly off.
It was by no means as good as the day
before There were a few lots Of fairly
good heavy hogs in but they were alone
in their class and the other offerings were
decidedly of color. There was notice.
able decline in quality as compared with
a week ago.
The receipts yesterday were light. Dur
ing the day LOIS hogs passed over the
scales. There were few wagon hogs in
during the day on account of the severe
weather. The car-lot receipts arrived
fairly early and business was done on the
jump in order that the stock might not
freeze.
The top price of the day was s4.571k,
while the bulk of the sales were made at
$4.53d4.5712. There were some very COM
mon hogs in which sold for low prices,
thereby bringing the average price down
considerably.
= comparison of this with other mar
kets is not unfavorable. Here hogs sold
weak to 21z cents lower. During the day
Kansas City quoted hogs ''big cents
lower" Chicago said the hog market
was slow. st. Louis also suffered a hea-
Wy loss, as the market there slumped is

AVvGASH BUSINESS.
And Other BuIliSh Factors Put
Corn Advancing.
MAY So CENT BETTER
Wheat 1-8 Cent Up; Oats IA,
and Provisions Higher,
MAY So CENT BETTER

Chicago, Feb. BY reason Of the
| heavy cash business done yesterday,
light country offerings and an increased
| speculative demand, corn had strength
| enough for itself and 10 spare today.
May closing sc over yesterday. Wheat
gots its best support from the coarse
cereal and May closed 1so up. Oats clos
ed nc higher and provisions 212ql5c up
for pork, PIC for lard and 5Q712c for hios.
Corn started today rather easy, May
opening at S4%GS4%c to S4s4gS47sc, and
selling off early to $3.50. The depression
was only temporary, however, for the
market quickly found itself crowded with
buyers, while holders were not lavish
with their offerings, and the large cash
business done yesterday. The speculative
demand was also opened and the ship
ping business done today, it was reported,
promised to be heavy. Trade was active
and the market broad. May scared to
351Ac without any material setback, clos
ing &c up at 3514 assoc, having receded
from the top on profit taking. A large
commission business was done, and big
bull people were a help to the prices.
Receipts here were 46S cars. Clearances
were 1904, 900 bushels
With snow on the ground and north
west receipts $50 cars larger than last
years, and 200 cars over last weeks.
holders set a shade less value on their
May wheat at the opening, which was
at 6S% Q6S7sc for May compared with yes
terday's close at 6S7sc. Before support
was received the market touched 6Sasc.
The reaction was caused by the strength
of corn, better late cables, reports of more
damage to the long suffering French
crop, and an improved export demand
and better late cables. May worked its
way up to 691sQAc and closed firm &c
over yesterday at 69c. Trade was active
the greater part of the session. There
was considerable profit-taking. New
York reported 80 car loads taken for ex-
port, and $4,000 bushels were sold here
There was some heavy covering by shorts
principally St. Louis people. Atlantic port
clearances in wheat and -four were equal
to 300,0 900 bushels. Primary receipts were
4720o0 bushels, compared with $4,000 a
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported 500 cars against 800 last week and
$50 the corresponding day last year. Lo-
cal receipts were Il cars, none of contract
grade.
The greater part of the session oats
Jagged, but towards the end took brace
in sympathy with the strength Of corn.
The trade was not large. Local receipts
were ISL cars. May ranged from &$4c to
24c, and closed 14c up at 24c.
There was dip in provisions early, but
the market recovered on the strength fof
corn and a firmer tone in hogs. Trade
was fairly active. May pork ranged from
SO S21s to s11.O0 and closed 1214615 cents
over yesterday at SLIGO; May lard from
Sc. 00q6. 0211 to s6.071a closing 21zc up at
s6.G71a, and May ribs from $5.9212 to s6.O5,
with the close 5a4715c higher at $6.02139

Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat
