Lomdox, October 2. A British naval officer attached to the Chinese naval squadron which was engaged in the light off the mouth of Yalu river ha written a letter to the Graphic, which 1 pub lished in that paper to-day, In this let ter the writer gives additional detail of the lighting, and say: "On board the warship Chen Yuen the fighting was awful. The deck and the snare around the ffun. were strewn with human fragment. Three of the five men working a four-ton gun were blown up by a shell from the Japanese warship Nanlwa Kan. The fourth gun ner was shot while trying to eacape from the turret, and the iillh stuck to bis poet. This man ttred three rounds at the Naniwa Kan, one shell entering the engine-room of the Japanese ship and another smashing her forward hridye. The Nanlwa Kan then hauled off. The Chineae Admiral rewarded the surviving gunner with a present of 1,000 taols.- A hell glanced from the steel deck of the Chen Vuen and went throiiuh her tower, shattering everything within. A Lien tenant, wlio wa la the act of speaking through the tube lending to the engine room, wa blown Into atom, and his bead wa left banging to Die (peaking pipe. Huge fragment of armor and the teak backing thereof were driven inboard by the shot, crushing a large number of eailor Into a shapeless mass. A Kuronean amiineer. who wns in the act of umoi mi abuii t in an endeavor to repair a steam pipe, was drenched from head to foot with the blood of an assist ant, who wa disemboweled while land ing bv hi lle by a (hot from the .ene my' ship. The Cheu Yuen arrived at Wei Hal Wei the day alter the fight In the same condition in which she left the battle. No attempt had been made to wash the blood from her or to remove the corpses which strewed her decks." The writer expresses the opinion that, if the F.uropean ruler could have cen the deck of the Chen Yuen, they would have foresworn war henceforth and for ever. :' AUM-KAMAM HUHIMKM.

It seem certain that 25,000 Japanese could take Peking, when Japan could obtain, so far a China is concerned, any terms she is likely to demand. On the other hand, the time available 1 very short owing to th ap proach of whiter, and the venture, though not impracticable, would be very risky. A force of 20,000 would suffice to occupy Formosa, and a descent upon the place is certainty among vuo imuinii.w possibilities.

No details of this re port are given, and the Chinese at Shanghai discredit the report. THINKS THIS CHINESC VICTORS. Th Opinion of a Former Director la tha Chinese Navy. . London, September SO. Captain Lang, a former director in the Chinese navy and supervisor of the erection of many Chinese forts, said in an Interview to day in regard to the Chinese reverses : .. "The Inherent conservatism and apa thy concerning everything ontslde of China and the want of esprit du corpB have had their natural results. As a matter of fact the Cninese never expect ed to have to fight, and their supreme contempt of Japan is a predominant trait with them. Their seamen are aa brave as could be wished, but they have not the slightest patriotism. Their offi cers are regardless of almost everything but personal advantage, and have always wanted to evade drill and remain ashore. They have hated European and Euro pean idea, and are insufferably obsti nate and conceited. There are admitted exception to this rule, however, espe cially in the ease of Admiral Ting, who is conspicuously a brave and capable of ficer, whose lead could safely be followed anywhere. I cannot understand the al leged superiority of the Japanese quick firing guns. The fonr vessels of the Ching Yuen class were admirably equipped, and I am not disposed in the light of the present information to give the Japanese the credit they claim." Captain Lang ascribes the defeat of the Chinese, if they have- been defeated, to the fact of their havfng lapsed from their high standard of efficiency since 1800. The only Europeans now In service in the Chinese fleet, he said, are acting in ub ordinate capacities. In conclusion he reaffirmed hi belief that the Chinese had been the victors. To Demand Amnesty.

Pnroha.ed by Colonel Swayn and No Shipped to Bis rianee. Los Anoxi.es, October J. A story was sent from San Francisco a few days ago, in which it was stated that during the battle with the Sioux Indian at Pins Ridge, S. D., Lieutenant Casey was killed. It wa stated that Lieutenant Casey was engaged to be married to the daughter of Colonel Hunt, U.S. A., now a resident of Loa Angeles, and that the handsome black charger, which he rode at the time of bis death, was to be sent to hi fiancee, not a single person having mounted the horse since Lieutenant Ca sey's death. There are some radical er rors in the above report. The big black horse that formerly belonged to Lieuten ant Casey arrived yesterday at San Pe dro, but it was not shipped to "Miss Hunt." In fact, there is no "Colonel Hunt of the United States army " living in or near Los Angeles. The horse wa really sent by Colonel Swayne of Fort Keogh, Mont. He is to be retired in January, and will come here to live on hi ranch at Los Nietoe. He bought the horse when the effects of the late Lieu tenant Casey were sold along with torn otner articles mat oeiongea to me gal lant and brave but ill-fated Lieutenant. The hone i now about 17 year old, but is still a magnificent animal. He bas been driven in double teams by the Co lonel since he wa purchased. The Northern Pacific railway gave free trans- Eortation and furnished a car for the orae to Portland in recognition of the eminent service of the Colonel dnring the troubles with the Northern Indus trial Armies. THEY ABB FAB AW AT. A Whaling Captain's Condemnation Alaaka Mlolonarle. ' Sax Fbancisco, September 30. Cap tain Tilton. of the whaling schooner Nicotine, who bas been whaling in Northern seas for nearly two decades, does not think much of some ot the mis sionaries that ble themselves to the frozen zone to pnrify the ou!s of the poor Esquimaux and Indians of Alaska. The caDtain said : "The missionaries are divided into three classes, and there are some good men among them, to be sure, but they are scarce as the aurora in a snmmer clime. Those whom I condemn belong to a sect of ' free workers,' who are w ill- ins to worst) Id God and Mammon for chance to make a few dollars. The gov ernment should take hold of this mat ter. The Indians of Alaska are an easily influenced race, who are very anxious to become educated and civilized. The oneatlon of sending good women and righteoua men to labor among them should meet with support from Congress, I do not desire to condemn all the mis sionaries of the Territory, for there are man v eood men no there who are doing exemplary work in teaching the natives. I do, however, want to say something a boat the scoundrels who infest the northern nart of Alaska, and who nnder the guise oi missionaries lace aavaniage of their position to He, cheat and steal in a manner that would astonish a horse thief. They are more degraded far than the natives themselves. These individ uals go out on the pretense of working among the Indians, bat in reality they are scheming to gatner in axms ana to be the recipients of favor that are not granted to men in an ordinary tation of life." FIBR UNDERWRITERS. What President Llttlejohn Says of Those Forest Firo. Chicago, September 80. President W. J. Llttlejohn of the Underwriters' Association of the Northwest, who in an address before the organization declared the recent forest fires were ordered started by the lumber kings in the inte rior, also stated his charges were based on investigations made under his direc tion. " Those fires have occurred every year," laid Llttlejohn. "it was appar ent there must be some motive for the incendiarism. Our company accordingly ent men up into Michigan and Wiscon sin this summer to make investigations. and they received sufficient evidence to satisfy me some big lumber dealer fired the forests in order to bide the evidence of their timber stealings. The evidence Is not sufficiently strong to warrant charging any particular man with the deeds. However, I am informed th States of Michigan and Wisconsin have appointed commissions to investigate the fires. Until we know the results th insurance organizations will do nothing. There is a possibility, however, in the event of the failure of these commis sions to develop the matter that some insurance unions will take up the prose cution themselves. I am confident the State authorities can secure all the evi dence necessary, if they try." DENIED BY MRS. PKABY. Ear Hasband Sat at th Same Tahle With HI Hon. . Washington, October 1. Mr. Peary, the wife ot the Arctic explorer, denies "emphatically the stories ot some of th members of her husband's party, of their alleged treatment, These charge in brief are that Engineer Peary's auto cratic method were offensive to hi as-, aociatei; that he was inconsiderate of their comfort and ungentlemanly in his treatment of them; that they were nearly starved to death, and that they would have fared better had Mrs. Peary not been a member of the party.

Tynan of Modesto, the capi talist who disappeared October 16, 1892, and for information of whom Mr. Ty nan offered a reward of $2,000, returned to the city this morning. Dr. Tynan cams from Reno, Nev.,and immediately npon hi arrival went to the Granger' Bank. The two year' absence of the doctor ha wrought much change ia hi appearance. Hi once tall and massive figure is now shrunken and stooping, Many ot his old friends and business ac quaintance were in the bank to meet him. and be greeted them in an absent- minded sort of way and acted generally as one who wa in a dream and sur- Erised at nothing. When asked where e bad been all this time be said in Bos ton, and refused to say anything further. The meeting between Mrs. Tynan and her husband was remarkably common' place, and no emotion was shown by either. Mr. Tynan is (aid not to hav seen her hnsbsnd since his mysterious disappearance, and wa dressed in deep mourning for his supposed death. Dr. Tynan is the heaviest property owner in Modesto. - He was also a di rector of the Grangers' Bank in this city and well known to people all over the Pacific Coast, among whom he has been a familiar figure lor Tsars, his large wealth, his prolonged vigorous strength and business capacity having made him conspicuous. He was over 76 year of age when he disappeared, uctober 10 be wa in the Granger' Bank in this city, and then there was paid over to mm tne sum oi so.uuu. from tnen un til now he haa been supposed dead. In July, 1893, hi wife offered a reward of $2,000 to any person who should famish information that he was alive. to such information came. What was tempora rily supposed to be bis body wa report ed sometimes in one place and sometimes 111 auutucr. xuo uewn u y cn, nuwciui, insisted that they had traced Tynan to Sacramento, where he bought a ticket to New York under the name of Thomas 8. Stanley, but farther than this they could not trace him. Hie wife searched lor many months for him, and finally concluded that he was dead. On the showing made Judge Minor of Stanislaus county decided that be was dead. John Slater, a local spir itualist, gave to the Grangers' Bank the first autbentle mlormation anout Dr. Tynan a few days ago. He said that the missing physician was in Reno, and asked that some one be sent with him to Reno. Accordingly Henry McCormack, who is connected with the bank, and w-o knew Dr. Tynan, went to Reno with Slater. The identification was complete. Slater said that he knew Dr. Tynan, whom he had met east of the Rocky Mountains. A to finding the doctor Hlater attributes It all to the spirit form of Dr. Tynan's first wife. He say: " Mav ZH l was wrttintr a letter in my suite of room in the Clarendon Hotel in Boston. It was a letter to my wife. It was about 7:30 o'clock. Suddenly woman's form stood over me distinctly as could be. ' I'm Rose Marvin Tynan,' it said. ' Go to No. to-night. sure, and you will see my husband. Dr. Thomas E. Tynan.'

The street and number I have prom ised not to reveal. When I rang the bell I asked for Dr. Tynan. They told me he was not there; but while I was talking he came to the top of the stairs and spoke to me. I took him to the ho tel, and we talked together until after midnight. Then he went away, and 1 made no effort to restrain him.' For three weeks I saw him occasionally. Then he left Boston, and I returned soon after to California. I saw Mrs. Tynan, but she would not believe that I had teen the doctor. She believe it now. Early in August I went back and found the doctor again. We went to New York together, and Monday, the 17th instant, we left there, bound this way. We stopped one day in Chicago and reached Keno, where i lett ut. rynan last oaiur- dJ" ... . : . . .. mater, it la understood, nas tne prom ise of $S,000'and expenses. Mrs. Tynan would not fix any sum until she saw the doctor, and this amount was agreed to to-day. Dr. Tynan will now take steps in the Stanislaus county court to have himself declared a being in the nesn, as his estate, valued at $200,000, has been distributed among his heirs. The San Francisco police are skeptical about the Spiritualist's story, and hint that Dr. Tynan was induced to disappear by some means unknown to them. Dr. Tynan himself is an ardent believer in Spirit ualism. - Captain Lees stated this after noon that the police ascertained three months ago that Tynan was living qni- etlv in Brooklyn, N. Y.. on the $5,000 he had taken with him. He had been ad vised by some Spiritualists in this city to go away. The police, it is said, in formed Tynan's relatives, of his where abouts, woo opened communication with him, and the result finally was hi re turn. : ' ' ' Th Interstate Talr. Tacoma, September 27.

Captain Howgato, th Former Weather Bureaa Chief, Baa Powa. Nsw Yost, September SO. Captain Henry Howgate, formerly chief of the weather bureaa of Washington, was ar rested in this city to-day on the charges of forgery and embezzlement of $300,- 000, committed in 1878 and 1879. The arrest ia th result of a search which ha occupied the attention of the United State secret tervice for over thirteen year. The story of Howgate' exposure and of his relation with Nettie Burrlll, a notorious woman, caused a great sen sation at the time. For several years he bad led a double domestic life in Washington. Only a few block from the home that contained his devoted wife and the daughter who wa to cling to him o determinedly in the dark hour to come he supported a woman in luxu rious style. At the jail he was treated with more consideration than ordinary malefactor. He was so utterly opposed to using the common bath tubs in the il that bis kind-hearted guardian re xed the rule and allowed the Captain to visit his residence on K and Four teenth streets in April, 1882, in order to indulge in lavatory luxuriance.

They Sometime. Had to Live on th leal Fat of the Land. Philadelphia, September 80. The interview sent out from Washington with Mr. Peary, in which she expreesed surprise that any member of the expe dition to Greenland under her husband's leadership should have found fault with the quantity or quality of the food, ex cited the ire of the dissatisfied members of the party, and they vented their feel ings somewhat freely this morning. . At first Messrs. Entriken, Astrupp, Clark, Davidson and Swain were in favor of drawing up a statement to tha public, giving an account of the expedition's winter in Greenland and the cause for dissatisfaction. They considered them selves released from their pledges of si lence to Peary by Mrs. Peary giving an interview. However, after some further talk among themselves they decided to' await any further disclosures by Mrs. Peary before they laid their case before the public. Despite the decision not to make a Joint statement, in conversation some of the members of the party could not prevent their feeling of bitterness toward Peary from finding utterance. One member of the partv said the mem bers of the main expedition went with Peary with the understanding that they were to remain two years. Their experi ence of his methods for a single year suf ficed them, and that experience accounts for their coming back on the Falcon. They found that everything was red tape, and that as regards glory their commander wanted to " hog it all." Peary and bis wife had their own quar ters and every comfort ibtainable, while the others had to forage for themselves. W. T. Swain, who went out as Peary' private secretary, aid : "As regards our food, here is the bill ot tare: For breakfast Corn meal mush sprinkled by Peary with sugar and a sparing hand; bacon with all the fat fried out of it; an occasional spoonful of Boston beans outof a can; coffee. Lunch Boiled seal meat, tasting like stale mutton flavored witheoal oil ; eorr. bread and tea. Dinner Reindeer meat, when we could get it, seal meat when we couldn't; bean occasionally, and don't omit this one-half slice of white bread and coffee. Sunday evening aa especial treat we bad for desert one can of to matoes among the party. What Peary and his wife had we don't know. They . lived apart, and no one of us wa ever dnring the whole time invited to their quarters. Peary would order some of u to go on a seventy-five-mile journey to procure food for his dogs, and only gave a an hour' warning, when half a day could have been accorded. The honr did not suffice to dry our fur stockings, and we ran the risk of frozen feet. My toe, which lames me, was frozen in just . that way, and one thing I can add, no Arctic expedition can ever succeed which takes a woman along to hamper it." COAST CUSTOMS DISTRICTS. What AMiataat Secretary Hamlin Says orHl.TI.lt. : Wabhtsotoh, September SO, As sistant Secretary Hamlin bas returned from his tour of the customs districts on the Pacific Coast and a visit to the Prib yloff Islands. He states that the North western frontier is greatly in need of a more comprehensive polios system. With the very limited number ot rev enue officials available for this duty it is comparatively an easy matter to smug gle opium and Chinese into the country, and no doubt many of the Chinese have ' been able to elude the officers and are now safely within our borders. Ad- ditional revenue cutters and a number of steam launches, he said, should be provided. Two revenue cutters, he thinks, should be assigned to the duty of petroling the Alaskan coast to pre vent smuggling and to enforce the law relating to salmon-fishing. - It was a singlar fact that many of the large can neries in Alaska employ Chinese labor almost exclusively, and some of the natives had complained of this discrimi nation. A special agent of the depart ment was now looking into the salmon fisheries, and would soon make a report thereon to the Secretary. Hamlin visited all the Pacific Coast custom districts, and stated he had discovered no glaring frauds, but he thought the good of the service demanded several changes, and in his opinion they would be made as soon as he could prepare his report and bring the matter to th attention ot the) Secretary. , , A BICYCLOX ANIAO.
