Tolio, Yokohama, Kobe and other
Japanese points, where he has been for
three months, "The arsenal at Tokio,"
he said, "is as busy as it ran be, and

from Hong Kong to Shanghai I met
four English gunners who had been en

month, and five yean pay to their fami

with them, who was to receive much
greater pay. The Chinese are engag

can, and they are paying them big
sums. In Japan it is is believed to be
the intention to move immediately on

100 towns in Connecticut show unprece
dented gains for the republicans in the
town elections yesterday. Towns that
have not elected republican officers in
years went republican by a thousand
niujority. In Waterbury the American
Protective Association aroused the Cath
olics, w ho elected the entire school board
Catholic. In New Britain the no-licen
vote of one year ago is reversed. The
liquor question lias been nnder constant
diHi uHnion during the year. In almost
all tow ns the American Protective Asso
nation met w ith defeat. Meredith, Nor
wlch, Middletown and New Milford,
democratic for years, were captured by
the republicans. New London elected a
democratic mayor, and displaced a re
publican. The republicans, however,
captured all the other offices,

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.

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.

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

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

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

Kong. Other troops are expected to be
dispatched, including the Northumber
land fusiliers, two battalions of Ghoor

drafts from the Punjaub.

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.
