STRATEGY OF CUINESE.
JAPANESE TROOPS IN COREA LIKELY
TO CE HEMMED IN.
A Battlo at ying Yang Chlnena RepuUed
with lieary I.oniea ltorolt of Coreana
AcainMt tho Japanese Fire at Chung
KingIntercut of Foreign Military Men,
A dispatch from Tientsin says news
has reached there from Ping Yang that
the Japanese on Sept. 2 made an at
temxt to surprise the Chinese camp, but
were repulsed with heavy losses. The
movements of the Japanese troops were
impeded by the standing crops, which
also hid the enemy from ttieiu.
If reports from Corea can be believed
there seems to be no doubt that the Jap
anese forces operating against the Chi
nese are likely to be hemmed in.
Dispatches from Fusan bring addi
tional confirmations of the report that
the whole of Southern Corea has arisen
against tho Japanese. It also seems con
firmed that a Japanese forco of 2,000
which attempted to march from Fusan
to Seoul met with disaster serious
enough to compel them to return to the
former place with 1,200 of their num
ber missiug. A force of 2,000 fresh
troops has arrived at Fusan to protect
the Japanese settlement against antici
pated attack by armed Toughalis gath
ering in the neighborhood.
General Lin Yung Fu at the end of
August attempted to transport 500
soldiers from Swatow to Formosa. But,
hearing rumors that the Japanese
squadron was cruising in the vicinity of
Formosa, the captain of the stoamer en
gaged to transport to Chinese troops
would not pnt to sea in spite of the en
treaties and threats of the Black Flag
general. Nothing daunted General Liu
Yung Fn succeeded in smuggling men
to tho island in small parties. The
transport steamer was afterward over
hauled by Japanese cruisers, who sent
tnned mea aboard her. The Japanese
oncers examined the ship's papers and
searched the steamer evidently having
rrceived information that General Liu
Yung Fu was likely to be on board.
A disastrous fire occurred at Chung
King on the evening of August 2o. The
ronlhigration is said to have raged all
night. Before midnight tho whole
southeastern rart of tho citv was in
flames. About 30 persons are known to
have perished and it is probable that
the actual loss of life will be greater,
It is roughly estimated that the loss by
the fire will amount to 13.000,000 tnels.
About 2.000 buildings were destroyed.
Xo foreign houses were destroyed.
Among the dead is the wife of the gov -
ernor of Shun Kin. who died from
fright. The governor's house was burned
and several temples destroyed.
Lieutenant O'Brien of tho Fifth in-
fantry, V. S. A., has been appointed
military attache of the United States
legation at Tokio, Japan. Lieutenant
O'Srien was selected in response to the
invitation of the Japanese government
country to witness tne war with China,
The navy will likejy ask for a similar
representation at the legation in Tokio,
ana several applications for the duty
have already beeu made by the naval
officers.
Captain oel du Boulay. staff captain
the Royal artillery on dutv in China,
has been onlered to Corea as the British
,...!.. ,(T
A dispatch from Seoul, Cores, dated
September 10, says the Japanese forces
moving from Gensan completely routed
the Cliinw at Sing Sing Cheun. Both
eu'.cs are reported to have lost heavily,
A Hongkong dispatch says the enlist
ment of Europeans for the Chinese ser
vice has been stopped. Seven men be
longing to the southern department of
the custom servir-o have returned to
their former duties. The whole south
squadron has been onlered north.
The vigorous press censorship in Japan
has been relaxed but the local news
papers are still prohibited from publish
ing news regarding tho progress of the
war or the movements of the army or
Cects.
THE DEMOCRATIC HANDBOOK.
A Revieir of the Work or tue Last
Session of Congress.
The Democratic handbook issued by
the congressional committee is out. In
its make-up it differs very materially
from the forthcoming Republican cam
paign book and goes into argument
rather than statistics to support tho
Democratic position. The book was
edited by Mr. Bynnm who was said to
have represented in tho house the "con
servative" element of the senate, which
made up the present tariff law. The
book, therefore, upholds the tariff law
very strenuously and stands by the work
of the sen .te.
The letter of Secretary Carlislo to Sen
ator Harris, in which he advises against
the passage of the free-sugar bill by the
senate, and which was made the basis
for tho refusal of the senate to act on
the pop-gun bills, is published in full.
To offset this, however, aud as if to give
a fair show to both sides, this book con
tains President Cleveland's letter to
Congressman Catchings in which refer
ence is made to the deadly blight of
treason that blasted the councils of the
brave in their hour of might.
Tho president's letter to Congressman
Wilson is also published. The look
does not contain any criticisms of tho
senato for favoring tho sugar trust, and
the only reference to sugar legislation
is a long statement designed to prove
that after all the Republicans are re
sponsible for the sugar trust by having
fostered it iii the McKinler bill.
Tho Hawaiian question is treated in a
similar manner. Instead of attempting
a defense of Presideut Cleveland's policy
tho book contents itself with criticising
President Harrison's administration.
Tne deposed queen ia pictured us a
martyr, whom tho presideut in vain
tried to succor, and her protest against
her dethronement is published in full.
A Good Tiling: to Keep at Hand.

other English dex-eudencise.

county, Or., shows that it suffered to
some extent from the ravages of the
aphis. The average yield is quite low,

threshed 12S bushels from four acres,

of good quality, and seem to be coming

and the present was delivered to Mrs.
