1.-The enemy, with a battalion of infantry,
eleven squadrons of cavalry and five guns,
advanced toward ShaliuhotZu on October
l. and retreated toward Huangshan Oc-
tober s. In this direction there were only
two or three of our squadrons of cavalry,
whose outpost lines extended between

sian infantry heading the column wore
Chinese costumes.
ION October 4 small body of the enemy
attacked our pickets at Pntatzu and on

MAY NOT RESTRAIN BULLDOGS.
Commissioners Not Likely to Require
Them Held in Leash

The District Commissioners do not seem
inclined to adopt regulation requiring
that bulldogs be held in leash while on
the streets of the national capital, and
from present indications the bully" Will
not be Disseminated against by the Dis
trict authorities. Bulldogs will be rer-
mitted class to enjoy all the privi-
leges accorded to other CANNES, so long
they maintain a good reputation In
the community for peace and good Or
der. In the event any individual bulldog
should become dangerous it is considered
that the existing regulations are sufficient
to require the offending animal to forfeit
the privilege of roaming the streets, and
the restriction of his liberties.
DIR. Cecil French of this city called on
Commissioner West this morning relative
to some business matters, and during the
interview, at Mr.. Vests request he told
the Commissioner he does not consider that
the bulldog is essentially or naturally dan
gerous to persons, but that he does evince
a pronounced dislike toward other dogs
under certain conditions. Relative to the
bulldog question to a reporter for The
Star, DIR. French said:
There are a number of kinds of bull
dogs. and number of kinds that are COM
monty called bulldogs, which are in reality
not entitled to be classed as such. The
real English bulldog, the kind with the
very rarely seen here. In fact, I believe
there are only two of this breed in the
city, and they are owned by wealthy peo-
pie and are only here during the winter.
The English bull terrier is also rarely seen,
few of this breed being owned here. We
do see number of the Boston bull ter
riers and also of the toy bull-terrier and
French bull-terrier breeds in Washington,
but large number of the fierce-looking
dogs called bulldogs are mongrels."
DR.. French declared that it is much safer
for a stranger to place his hand On the
head of a bulldog than the head of
collie or black and tan terrier. The collie,
he said, is treacherous, and not nearly so
reliable or peaceable as the bulldog when
persons are concerned.
''Of course said DR.. French in reply to
question, "if you leave a bulldog on
guard and he discovers a stranger climb
ing over the back fence, the bulldog Is
pretty apt to secure a piece of the mans
clothing or even chunk of flesh but then
any good watchdog would act the same I'M
der similar circumstances"

FIRE ON THE KANSAS.
Nothing Suspicious in the Occurrence
Damage Slight.

CAMDEN, N. j., October General
Manager Hall of the New York Shipbuilding
Company today made the following state
ment concerning the fire last night on the
battle ship Kansas, in course Of construction
at the yards:
There was positively nothing suspicious
about the fire on the Kansas. AS matter
of fact, these blaZes are not unusual and
can hardly be prevented. The fire occurred
in a lot of sawdust that had been thrown
about one of the tanks. This is done after
the tanks have been filled with water to
test them, the sawdust being used to dry
up the surface of the tanks and show any
leak. SO
"There are twenty gangs of riveters WORK
ing on the battle ship, which is about 30
per cent completed. One of the riveters
late yesterday afternoon must have dropped
a hot rivet, or PERHAPS splinter fell from
a rivet and landed in the sawdust. A fire
ensued and continued to shoulder until
discovered toward midnight.
1.-The damage. to the ship amounts to
nothing.
1t was enormously reported last night
that the fire had occurred on the cruiser

Results of Inoculating Fields.

From the Century
The same bacteria that increase the har-
vest of beans or clover or alfalfa tenfold
enable the plants to leave many times more
nitrogen in the soil than they would have
done If uninoculated; in other words. they
make the soil many times more fertile, so
that the crop of cotton or wheat corn
or potatoes planted next year is many times
larger. Thus the rotating crop the year
following incubation derives an equal bene
fit from the incubation For instance, a
crop of crimson clover, not inoculated.

added to one fifteen times more nj
