Going from Hong Kong to Shanghai I met four English gunners who had been en gaged for a Chinese war ahip at $100 a month, and five yean pay to their fami lies if killed. An English captain was with them, who was to receive much greater pay. The Chinese are engag ing all the Englishmen fighters they can, and they are paying them big sums. In Japan it is is believed to be the intention to move immediately on I'eking and capture it before winter sett in. The Japanese nee they have got to do it quick or it will be much harder later." Th.

Uaiuag to liulh I. If and l'rfiprty Th Jap. Mill Advancing. I.lltls ICork Cyclone. Little Rik k, Oct. 3. I-ast evening's cyclone grons in deetructivenets as the details are gathered. Hark ominous clouds gathered from the west and south west, yet the city was unprepared for the dire visitation that followed in their wake. The first intimation of the im pending catastrophe was when the cyclone struck. All tiie electric lights were extinguished, and the darkened streets were filled with flying roofs, walls arid debris of all kinds. The cyclone swept up from the soutiiweet, striking the city near the insane asylum, the male ward of which was demolished. There Ir. Ingate was killed and several inmates seriously injured. It then passed on to the penitentiary, doing slight damage at intermediate points. The second and third stories of the shop building were blown off, the cell build ing unroofed, the office destroyed and the old building scattered broadcast. One convict was killed, and several guards injured. Toward the main part of the city the path of the storm was strewn with the debris of wrecked build ings, tangled telegraph and telephone wires and fallen trees that had withstood the tempests of many decades. Many residences were damaged, the roofs blown away and walls partly demolished. The next marked damage was when the storm struck the Martin building, a large brick building nnd apartment house, occupied by the Arkansas Meth odist church, nnd several offices. Gov ornor Fishback and General Armetead, I who had rooms in this building, escaped injury. The colored porter was seriously injured. From that point east the scene that met the view of the vast throngs who flocked thither this morning wae beyond description. Some of the most substantial brick structures in the dis trict lying along Main and Markham streets, south to Fourth and Fifth, were razed. The wind was followed by a drenching rain, that lasted nearly an hour and kept every one within doors, so the real extent of the damage could not be ascertained at tne lime. Telephone wires in the business por tion were blown down. Wild rumors of death and destruction were rife. As soon aa the rain had abated the streets were filled by an excited populace. Pe destriauism was attended with extreme difficulty, and danger, as there were no lights, and tangled wires, heaps of brick, twisted tin roofs, and great plate glass w indows filled the streets and sidewalks. Many were the stories of narrow escape and most sad the deaths. It is a matter of common wonder hiindredswere not killed. The police were on the scene promptly, and everything was done to restrain the disorderly element from creating a disturbance. Saloons that were not entirely destroyed were ordered closed at midnight by Chief McMahon. Patrol wagons were pressed into service, and many of the injured were taken to the headquarters, where their wounds were attended to. The storm proper did not last more than three minutes. The body of iJr. Ingle was recovered from the ruins of the asylum at noon, but so mangled as to be almost unrecog nizable. Several inmates are missing. Conservative estimate of the financial loss on state institutions is $225,000. On business projierty, $1)00,000. On dwell ings, $:;oo,ooo. Hot Si'binos, Oct. 3. The cyclone which did so much damage to Little Rock last evening, passed north of this city few miles. Reports from that section today say considerable damage was done to farm property, but no fatal ities are reported. Looks Lla Wu freparallon.. London, Oct. 3. The secretary of state for foreign affairs, the Karl of Kim berly, has been in communication with the Indian government, and prepara tions have been made to concentrate English and Indian troops in readiness to proceed further east. It is added that the sanction of the cabinet is necessary before further steps are possible. A dispatch from Portsmouth says rumors are circulated there regarding extensive naval preparations. The head of de partments at the dockyard held a con ference today, at which opinions of officers were taken regarding tiie time that the first division of reserve ships could lie in readiness to put to tea. The ditqatch adds that the training squad ron's departure for the West Indies has been postponed from Saturday to Wednesday, and if necessary the cruii-e of this squadron w ill be abandoned and the men on the training ships be trans ferred to ships which will be shortly commissioned. A Iieel.lv Haiti. Shanghai, Oct, 3. Native newspa pers confirm reports that 5000 Japanese troops have landed in the northeastern part of Corea. It is reported the Chinese soldiers who retreated from Ping Yang have taken up a position at Ngan, where they have been joined by troops landed on the bank of the Yalu river, anil oth ers from Shing King. This Chinese force is reported to be entrenching itself in the most thorough manner possible, and it is now thought probably the re sult of the war will lie decided in the bat tle which it is expected must surely be fought at Ngan. The Chinese authori ties of this city attempted to nrrest a Japanese traveling from Manchuria, susjiected of being a spy. The police handed him over to the American con sul. A Kajch of War Not.. New Yobk, Oct. 3. The Herald has the following special from Shanghai: It is reported that the Japanese have cap tured Kin Lien Cheng, on the eastern side of trie Yalu river, nearly opposite Wi Ju. One hundred and fifty thousand men have been gathered at Peking for the de fense of the city, but of this number only 7000 are effectively armed. Only 50,000 soldiers are available for the defense of the province of Chi Li, that of Li Hung Chang and these are raw recruits. The Japanese army has landed to the north of the Yellow, or Hoang-Ho river, in the southern part of the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li, to intercept the transport of troops from the south, via the Grand canal, to Tien-Tein. A Japanese fleet of 17 ships Is now blockading the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li. Prince Kung is favorable to foreigners and the western development of the Chinese empire. French troops are massing in Tonquin. A l.perate Bnrglar. Sas Francisco, Oct. 4. Detectives Bee and Harper this morning arrested James Ledger, an ex-convict, who baa been committing numerous robberies at San Jose and Oakland recently. Ledger re sisted arrest and and attempted to mur der Harper, who was compelled to draw a revolver and shoot him in the Land. Bee came up at this moment and the robber was punched into insensibility. On his person were found a lot of loose diamonds and other stones and some jewelry, and it was evident that he had not disposed of his plunder. Ledger and a companion namedGannon held up and robbed Editor Frank Leach, of the Oakland Enquirer, on the street a few days ago. Gannon is under arrest in Oakland. That Madagascar Blockade. Poet Lewis, Island of Maritius, Oct. 4. The statement that a blockade of Madagascar had been declared by F'rance was brought here by steamer from Madagascar. The report appears to have been due to the misconstruction of French measures to prevent the landing of arms and amunition for the llovae. The Madagascar papers etate the French settlers have been warned to repair to the coast in view of possible hostilities. The French bishop and F'rench mission aries, however, decline to leave the capi tal until the latest moment. British Troop, for China. London, Oct. 4. The Exchange Tele graph Company says 0,000 troops will be sent from India to protect the treaty ports of China. The First Rifle brigade w ill leave Calcutta, Oct. 16, for Hong Kong.

It is announced today that Judge Lyman Trumbull is in sympathy with the jMipulist party, and will deliver an address at a mass meet ing in Central music hall Saturday night on "The rights of man as Affected by the accumulation of Wealth and Favored monopoly."

An engine and 12 cars of a 'Frisco freight train left the track near Sinithlield, Mo., at 9:15 this morning and were wrecked. En gineer Mike Ketchum, Fireman Tom Warren and Ileadbreaknian M. E. Hummel of Monctt, Mo., were instantly killed. ENGLAND AND FRANCE Nothing Tun Cause TrouMe between Them. AMD GEORGIA GOES DEMOCRATIC Th Kngll.h Cabinet Mat for Ninety Minute, and Frightened Ninety Million I'eople. Th Cabinet Hear. London, Oct. 4. English newspapers have apparently recovered from the scare caused by the hasty calling of the cabi net council. The afternoon newspapers are now unanimous in expressing the opinion that the.e is not the slightest cause for anxiety to fear a serious dis pute w ith France. It seems to be ad mitted that the cabinet council will not be called upon to decide anything more than the protection of British .interests in China. It seems generally agreed, however, that the cabinet council will decide the question of whether British troops will be sent immediately to treaty ports of China. The cabinet council met today. Most of the ministers were present. Sir Wil liam Harcourt, chancellor of the ex chequer, was absent. At the hour of sending this dispatch the council is still in session. 2 p. m . The cabinet meeting lasted from noon until 1 :30 p. m. It is under stood a perfect agreement was reached respecting the plans submitted for the British residents in China. It is announced upon authority, the cabinet after discussing the state of af fairs in China, decided to send troops to that country to protect British interests. It is also probable additional ships will be Bent to strengthen the fleet in Chinese waters, under command of Admiral Free mantle. It is also said, in consequence of the day's meeting of the cabinet, the British legation at Peking will shortly be guarded ky Britieh bluejackets and native Indian soldiers. McKinley Going to Nebraska. Belleville, Kan.. Oct. 4- Gov ernor McKinley passed through here today on his way to Nebraska. Fully 8300 people assembled at Clay Center to see him. "We are engaged this year," said the governor, "in a contention among ourselves whether we retain the American markets nnd work shops. The republican party believes in retain ing both." Three cheers for McKinley, the next president of the United States, were given at Clifton. Some one asked how about silver, to which McKinley replied: "You must ask the democrats. They are in full control of the govern ment and have absolute power to do whatever they please." Corgla Klectlon Ke.ultn- Ati.anta, Oct. 4. Enough reports have been received by the Atlanta Journal up to noon to indicate an aver age democratic majority of 20,000 to 25.000. Atkinson, democratic nominee for governor, has been scratched in all parts of the state, and his majority will not exceed 15,000. Tim democrats will have 30 majority in the senate ami 15 in the house. FCvery congressional district except Black's and Watson's went for the democrats. A great surprise is the defeat of Warner Hill, a prominent can didate for speaker of the house. His county went with the populists. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 4. Returns from accessible points Indicate Atkin's majority for governor at 30,000, and the state ticket will probably receive about 10,000 more. Probably 40 populist members of the legislature have been elected. Tim democratic majority last year was tV,000. Speaker Crisp's dis trict shows a falling off. Most of the districts represented by free silver dele gates have furnished populist gains. All senatorial calculations have been up set by the increased representation of populists in the legislature. Caused by CareleR. Krakeinan. San Bkrnahdino, Cal., Oct. 4. This morning as the Santa Fe passenger from I.OS Angeles was coming in, at 0:15 it collided with an outgoing freight, wait ing on a siding, caused by a careless biakenian, who forgot to replace the Highest of all in leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE A Revolution n Eating has been brought about by the introduction of CottolF.NE, the new vegetable shortening. The discovery of this product, and the demonstration of its remarkable qualities, has attracted the widest iueiest. Hitherto the common shortening has been lard, or indifferent butter. Kvery one has probabiy suffered occasional dis comfort from lard-cooked food; while it is well known that thous ands are obliged to abstain entire ly from everything of that kind. To such people, Cottolene is of peculiar value, widening as it does, the range of what may be eaten and enjoyed. Cottolene is a cooking marvel. It combines w'th the food imparts to it a tempting color, a delicate flavor, and an appetizing crispness. No trace of greasiness remains to offend the taste, or disturb the digestion. Cottolene is worthy of the careful notice of all those who value good food, of itself or for its hygienic properties. Sold by Leading Grocers. Blade only by N. K. FAIRBANK & CO.. ST.

No one was injured except Conductor Hixon, of the passenger, who wtia thrown down in the baggage car and received a scalp wound, and an aged lady, name unknown, suffering from nervous prostration. Tbo Freneb Cabinet. Paris, Oct. 4. The French cabinet today decided to prosecute Le Parti Ouvrier, the newspaper which recently published an article upon army maneu vers, regarded as insulting to the French. army. President Casimir-Peritr has signed a decree appointing Baron de Courcel French ambaesador to London, to suc ceed M. deCrais, recalled. The Journal des Debats says that there is no question between Great Brit tain and France which cannot be settled amicably. La Soliel declares that Madagascar cannot lead to a conflict between France and Great Britain. Le Martin says it is absurd to suppose that the dispute in regard to African af fairs with France was the reason for summoning the English cabinet council. That Atf.eN.mnt Circular. YVakuisuton, Oct. 4. Civil Ser vice Comiiiifsioiier Lyman said today nothing had yet been received concern ing the political assessment circular alleged by the San Francisco Chronicle to have been sent to federal officers in San Francisco. As soon as evidence is secured measures will bo taken by the commission against the authors of the circular. Th Cifnare.Rlonal llulrli'tH- Savannah, Oct. 4. Ketnrns from the congressional district embracing Savannah indicate KHI0 democratic ma jority, a falling oil' of 1200 in two years. Counties in Tom Watson's district show 500 populist majority.
