Tow the Vessel AWAY.

Che Foo August 12.-Q;30 a. m.) At 3.20 o'clock this morning the Japanese torpedo boat destroyers Asashio and Kasufpi, which entered the harbor under cover of darkness last night, sent a boarding par ty to the Russian torpedo boat destroyer Ryeshitelni which had previously been disarmed by the Chinese. After fierce fight the boarding party A1.-~red the Jap anese flag on the Ryeshitelni and lowed her out of the harbor in a northeasterly direction.
 Of her crew of forty-seven, seventeen have been accounted for Captain She's takovslxy is reported killed. Seven swan ashore. landing near the American con sulate. Some were picked up by Sampans and three, Including a lieutenant, were rescued by a lightshp
 The Japanese claim that they sent in a gig to the Ryeshiteni under a flag of truce, lieutenant and interpreter, who made demand that the Russians come outside and fight. The Russian captain replied that his ship had been disarmed, her engines disabled and the whole mat ter was in the hands of the Chinese.
 The Japanese were asked to investigate the disarmament The Japanese inter- preter said that he overheard the Rus sian captain give a hurried order in a low tone, the words not being disting- ushable to the interpreter. Immediately following the captain seized the Japanese lieutenant and jumped overheard with him.
 Meanwhile the Japanese destroyer had their search lights turned on the Russian ship. From the deck of the lightship ob- servers could see this act, which was fol- lowed by the shooting of Riglee and sabre strokes, and Russians jumping overheard. The fighting had lasted ten minutes when an explosion followed The explosion blew away the main bridge but did no damage to the hull The Russians by this time were mostly all overheard.
 The Japanese at once hoisted their flag. Presently searchlight from the Chinese cruiser Hai Chi disclosed a Chinese cut ter alongside the Ashalo.
 It remained here only a minute and then went alongside the Kasumi, where it stopped an equal length of time The cutter then returned to the Hai Chi The inactlon of the Chinese fleet Is unex- plained so far. It is believed serious in- ternatlonal complication will result from the incident
 There are unconfrmed stories in circula- ton that the Japanese fired at the Rus slans when they were in the water and they refused to rescue any of them.

DISAGREE OVER LOCATION.
New Decatur Insists That New Station
 Should Be Betweenft the Towns.

Decatur, August u.-(Speclal.)-For some time past there has been fight on between Decatur and New Decatur over the location of a new union passenger depot and the matter has come up before the railroad commission several times. Not long ago the commission ordered the depot built in Decatur near the location of the present depot In order to build a depot there it Is necessary to have strip of land belonging to the Decatur Land company. This land the land com pany refused to donate or sell so the rail- road company at once commenced con- demnation proceedings against the land company and the land company in turn have through their attorney, Judge John c. Eyster. enjoined the railroad company from condemning the property. The in junction will come up for trial in the chancery court at the September session and the case gives every promise of going down in the records of the courts as being one of the most remarkable ever before a court in Alabama.
 Where 1t is proposed to build the new depot it would be very incovenient to the people of New Decatur as it Is situ- ated about a mile from the nearest point of that city. The people of New De- catur think the depot should be built nearer them and this is what they have been fighting for. It is believed that compromise will be effected so as the depot will be built somewhere near the dividing line of the two towns
 Work will start on the builuing as soon as the matter of location can be settled. The building will be a very handsome one of brick and stone of modern design. The old station in Decatur is a fairly good one, but the city has outgrown 1t.
