Douglas Fire Changes
 Plans of 0. R. Keeney

In a wire to the Wrangell Sentinel yesterday. Orval Keeney, who left for Douglas by plane last Fri day, reported the Douglas hardware store of Feusi & Jenson a total loss in the recent fire which swept the island city. Due to the complete burn out MT. Kseney has decided to can eel his new store in Juneau and re- sume his position in Wrangel with Campbell brothers.
 Articles of Incorporation had been filed in Juneau early in February by Mir. Keeney, M. F. Jensen of Douglas and John Feusi who now resides in California for the purpose of operating a hardware business under the name of Feusi and Jensen. Two stores were to be operated, one fn Douglas and one in Juneau. The Douglas store carried too large a stock for the small community and they planned on moving a large part of this to Juneau and augmenting this with considerable new stock. MT. Keeney was to have been in charge of the Juneau store and Of all the buying for both stores.
 It is reported that much of the new stock for the Juneau store had arrived just before the fire and had been stored in the Douglas ware house of the firm. while waiting for completion of alterations in the new Juneau store. It is believed this was not covered by insurance and the loss is too heavy for the men al this time to replace the stocks de- stroyed

 Council Supports Wellons
 The clerk having corrected a la bor claim presented by H. WelloLs as being in excess of the city's ap- proved labor scale, Wellons appealed to the council to approve the rate he had agreed to pay the employee.
 The bill in question was for seven and one-half days of labor by Arnt Sorset at the light plant, which Vel Ions presented at five dollars day. The clerk maintained that the day labor rate as set by the council aid paid throughout the year for all oth- CT labor performed for the city was four dollars; that Wellons had in formed the clerk that Sorset was just cleaning up around the plant, so he corrected the bill in accord ance to the city's set rates.
 Wellons stated that MT. SOrset was not an ordinary man and was entitled to a higher rate than ocher laborers. That even though he were engaged in clean up work his status should be that of engineers helper. In this the council finally agreed and upon boiled vote on a motion made by Campbell and seconded by Angerman the bill at five dollars a day was ordered paid under pro- test of the clerk

With Increased Federal aII0tments under the George-Dern Act, the sum of $80,0OO a year would be avail able to the Territory. This would require an appropriation of half that amount. However. the Legislature was not asked for a larger appro- priation than the $3O,OOO.
 Even by continuing the present appropriation the Federal allotment would be $60,O00, or twice the amount appropriated by the Legis- lature.

JAPANESE ARE
 GIVEN SET BACK
Epidemic of Cholera, Re- verses on Field of Battle
 Strike Hard
By H. R. EKINS

Copyright, 1887, by United Press)
 Shanghai, Sept. 10 - (UP)-An epidemic of cholera and important Chinese victories on three fronts gave Japan major setback today in her undeclared war with China. Cholera broke out among Japanese troops in the Shanghai area, a Japa- nese spokesman said, leaving 20 dead and 30 more in dangerous con- dition. The epidemic centered in Paoshan, near the mouth of the Yangtze river, north of Woosung, and it was feared that it might spread. In such event thousands of civilians and Chinese troops would be in danger of being afflicted with the highly contagious disease.
 Blocked on Three Fronts
 Added to the Japanese reverses brought on by cholera were the Chi nese claims of having blocked the Japanese on three fronts and Japa- nese admission that they were un- able to split Chinese defenses in the mid-section of the vital Woosung military highway between Shanghai and the Yangtze river
 In addition, Chinese guns won one of the heaviest artillery combats of the six-day campaign along the Whangpoo river.
 The Japanese were blocked on three fronts and admitted they were unable to split Chinese defenses ir >(Continued on Page 10)
