 defensive, and managed to stave off the
 inevitable for some time, but "Abe' was
 clearly out-classed. and his antagonist finally secured a crotch-hoist and won the first fall fairly and squarely. The second fall. although Abe was thrown, he managed to pull the other fellow down with him, and this gave fis friends chance to break the match up in a row. A bloody fight seemed smmi- nent when "Abe'' astonished every one by saving: Boys, this man actually threw me o1ce fairly, as you all saw,
 and the seconi time he threw me fairly, although you couldn't see it so well. Now play fair, and take your medicine liwke men, He would countenance no disturbance, and his magnanimity

He could outwrestle, outrun and outjump every man in the neighborhood. and is said to have been able to carry a load which three ordinary men could hardly lift.

 According to dispatch to the Paris edition of the New York Herald, four hundred torpedoes, being two-thirds of Russia's entire available supply of these articles, were destroyed on board the Russian cruiser yariag at Che mulpo.
 The Tolxio correspondent of the Daily Chronicle cables it is said officially that several thousand Russian troops have reached Antung, and it is rumored that 0,0O0 Russians have arrived at Ping Yang, on the Tatong river, in Central Corea.
 The Chronicle, however, regards this rumer as quite improbable, unless the invasion of Corea preceded the outbreak of hostilities.
 London, Feb 17.-In a despatch dated Port Arthur, February 13, correspond ent of the Times gives description of seven Russian warships which he says |are lying disabled there. They include the battleships Sevastopol and Petro- pavlovsk, which have not been named in previous reports of the action. The correspondent says that altogether eleven Russian ships were put out of action at Port Arthur. Continuing he declares that the Japanese were driven from the neigh borhood of Kinchau, near New Chwang, after slSirmish in which 150 Japanese were taken prisoners and seventy Rus sians killed.
 In an editorial article, the Times re- marks as this correspondent does not mention the injuries sustained by the battleships and as the Kinchau story has not been reported from any other Isuorce, it would be we'll to accept his reports with some reserve.
