Philadelphia, Sept 12.-The Della

way from this city to Bristol. Pa, |

of IA days pleasure trip on the river
The launch was owned Ay Joseph For

I'D from among a few of hts friends.
The day ives spent in a cruise up the
river as far as Trea4On. The return
TIP was begun after nightfRll, the
pilot of tire boat keeping dlose to the
PENNSYLVANIA shsre on the run down
the river. When a El5int WAS reached
NEAR ARdalusia, the Columbia sudden

steamer struck the launch ss1uarely IN
the mi6dle and eut 1T in stTalf, throw

A terrible Shrek went up as the
boats struck, which almost caused a
panfc;among the passengers on the Co
IHmbia. Dozens Of life !preservers were
thrown to those i'm the water, and
boat was quickly lowered. NotWith'
standing the fact that Captain Camp

some distance abOve THE struggling

Washington, Sept. l1s.-The develop

the Russian ,sruiser Lena at San Fran
cisco was the clearing up of the official
muddle arising oAtc6f the doubt as to
which of five departments of the esv-
eminent SHOULD deRl with IT, 1t was
finally decided by THE president that
the state and navy departments should
treat the case, acting jointly, decision
calculated greatly to simplify its
handling.
Over night ean1esa telegram from Ad-
maral Goodrich, at San Francisco,
showing that CT mis- own initiative he
had caused onen6t his expert officers to
make "a apreTiminary examination Ot the
Lena, and that temporary Tepairs
would occupy six weeks time, and that
new boilers would involve eight months
delay.
There'is good ground to believe
that instructors contemplate the fal
Iowanee of sufficient time to the Lena
to make temporary repairs. However
the1. is a gBOWlng belief here that THE
vessel will be- Obliged to intern in the
end, for 1t is altogether likely that ny

a direct challenge, and a labor war
ereIter than any since the anthracite

10 600 9workmen, carpenters, masons'

coke and the large boroughs OF King

The action of the employers was the
outcome Of several stormy meeHngs5
and was due principally to a strike OF
carpenters against alleged unfair nm-
her at several buildings under course
of construction. Nearly all the en-
Movers paid off their employees lnlne-
diateIy after the order was posted, anu
ali the men at once removed their
tools. The excitement among the men

Of the Japanese casualties in the Sat
te Of Lao Yang, based upon reports
o. the chiefs of the medical corps OF
the three Japanese armies. has been
concluded. 1t covers the fighting from
August 26 and shows that the Japar
nese killed and wounded amount TO
1883 men, divided as follows:
In the right army, under the com
mand Of General Kuroki. 1856 men; In
The center army, under the command
Of General Nodzu, 1892 men, and IN
me left army, under the command OF
General Oku, 1851 men. These casual
ues include 1856 officers killed and 464
omeers wounded. The fact that the
army under General Oku sustained the
heaviest losses is accounted for by its
assaults upon the Russian defenses TO
