Ilrlll.h Naval Ollwi'a Account or th
Horror or Motf.ro War.
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. :'

Either coarse i more probable than a

that 25,000 Japanese could take Peking,
when Japan could obtain, so far a China
is concerned, any terms she is likely to

proach of whiter, and the venture,
though not impracticable, would be very
risky. A force of 20,000 would suffice to

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.

LIKUTENAMT CASEY'S CHARGER.
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.

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."

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."

Thomas E. 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

city, and then there was paid over to

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 came. What was tempora

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

talking he came to the top of the stairs
and spoke to me. I took him to the ho

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

Early in August I went back and found
the doctor again. We went to New York

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-

had taken with him. He had been ad
vised by some Spiritualists in this city
to go away. The police, it is said, in

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.
The officers remained in the sitting
room while Howgate went upstair for
hi bath. It i said Mis Howgate, who
possesses an exquisite voice, sang to the
guardians of her father and made time
pas ao pleasantly that an hour elapsed
before they awakened to a proper reali
zation of what they were there for. They
asked Miss Howgate to call her father.
She waa gone a long time, and then
came back pale and excited. She could
find her father nowhere, she laid. They
searched the house, and then rushed out
and gave the alarm. Captain Howgate
by this time had two hour the start of
hi pursuer. It is thought he waa
steaming down the river below Alexan
dria before his daughter had finished
singing. He escaped by going out of the
rear of the house when he was supposed
to go to the bathroom. Going out into
the blind alley in the rear, he turned
into the exit running out into the street,
where a carriage containing Nettie Bur
rill waa awaiting him.
He went to New Orleans, and remained
there until be believed the secret service
detective were after him. Accordingly
he took his departure westward, and was
seen at one or two places on the Pacific
Coast. , For two years past he had made
his home in New York city.
After having searched nearly the whole
country for Howgate, ex-Sheriff Drum
mond received information that the fugi
tive was a dealer in old books and pam
phlet in this city. Every book store waa
visited in this city without success.
Finally an officer waa detailed to watch
tne auction sale lor ilowgate. About
two week ago it wa inspected that the
fugitive waa keeping an old book store at
81 Fourth avenne under the name of
Harvey Williams. Not being sure of the
man' identity the authorities in Wash
ington were asked to send a man to the
city who waa acquainted with Howgate.
A clerk U the w ar Department, who had
been formerly associated with Howgate
in the weather bureau, waa seat here.
He met Howgate, but at first waa un
certain of his identity, for the latter had
changed considerably in thirteen years.
After engaging him is conversation the
clerk at length became covinced that the
man was Howgate, and a warrant for
his arrest was procured from Commis
sioner Alexander. Mr. Drummond served
the warrant to-day in person. He met
Howgate coming out of a store at Fourth
avenue and Tenth street, and said :
" How are you, Captain Howgate T"
The latter started, but auicklv re-
S lined hi composure, and asked Mr.
rummond what he wanted. The de
tective told him. He answered :
"AH right : the iii ia no : I am Captain
Howgate."
On being arraigned before Commis
sioner Alexander Howgate laid he would
waive examination and go to Washing
ton, tie was not in a position, ne said,
to furnish bail, which was fixed by the
commisaionerat $10,000. There are seven
indictment pending against. Howgate.

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. , ,

Philadelphia, September 80. This '

signed " Helen," haa appeared in a di
vorce case:
"You must not think too hard of your
Helen for seeking other pastures and
fields that are more inviting. I am a
bicyclomaniao. At one time you said
you had bicyclorosis. It must have been
contagious. I am infatuated heart,
soul, mind and body with my wheel;,
more so, if the sad truth were told, than ,
lever was with you. I get more comfort
and satisfaction from my wheel than I
could by being tied down by your side.
My wheel is young and frisky, and we
are more congenial companion than
you and I could be. Do aa you please in
the matter of divorce, but von can never
divorce me from my wheel. Farewell .
