ANOTHER FIERCE FIGHT IN WHICH THE CHINESE WERE ROUTED. The Mikado's Soldiers Cross the Talu Blverand Take Possession of the Chi nese Stronghold After Three Hours Flghtlnt the Chinese Retreat In Dis order Japanese Forces Are Aggressive. Dispatches from Wi Ju give details of the battle fought between tho Chinese and Japanese across the Yalu river. General Nodzu, the Japanese chief of taff, It appears, succeeded in getting the maiu body of the Japanese army across the Yulu river without a mishap by daylight Thursday. Then Colonel Sato was sent athe head of a column on a reconnoitering expedition and he dis covered the enemy occupying a fortified position near tbe village of Fushang on the right bankof the Yalu. Though he had no artillery at his disposal. Colonel Sato immediately commenced an attack upon the Chinese and a fierce fight fol lowed. The Chinese fought desperately and stubbornly. The attack began at 10 o'clock in the morning and lasted until noon, when the Chinese began wavering, broke and eventually retired in great disorder, falling back upon Eewlienching. The troops commanded by Colonel Sato, after the Chinese had retired, set to work upon the demolishment of the fortifications of Fushang. Inside the fortifications they found 200 Chinese dead. The Japanese also captured a number of prisoners, among whom was a Chinese officer who stated that the position was held by IS battalions of Chinese troops. The Japanese, escorting their prison ers, then marched in the direction of General Xodzn's main body, with the intention of rejoining it. The number of Chinese wounded is not known. The Japanese lost five officers and 90 men killed and wounded. Later dispatches said the Chinese out posts were falling back upon Kewlien ching. where it is expected the only determined sUnd of the Chinese in Manchuria will be made. It is under stood that Field Marshal Yamaata'l plans are completed in every detail for inflicting what he hopes will turn out to be a crushing blow upon the Chinese. Several colnmns of Japanese troops are acting in concert, after the manner adopted by the Japanese commander at Ping Yang, and it is expected they will deliver a simultaneous attack upon the Chinese position. If the Japanese field marshal's plans are carried ont in the manner indicated in the dispatches from tha front, it is probable the network of the invaders will be completed around the Chinese position by midnight Sat urday, thus enabling the attack to be delivered at dawn Sandfly. But, if the Japanese columns succeed in occupying the position assigned them previous to midnight Saturday, it is believed the at tack will be delivered at the earliest possible moment. Some doubts are expressed among the Japanuse commanders as to tbe re ported strength of the Chinese position at Kewlienching. It is reported the Japanese batteries at Kewuenchiny have bt-vn increa,ted from three to 11. but on tbe other hand, rumor says it is extivmely doubtful whether all these batteries are fully armed. The esprit do corps and health of the Japanese troops are excellent, and it is said to be the universal ambition to capture Moukden before the birthday of the emperor of Japan, Nov. 3. Later dispatches from the Yalu river show that in the battle between the Chi nese and Japanese 3500 Chinese troops of all arms were utterly routed. A detachment of l.$X) wonnded Jap anese have arrived at Chemulpo. There is a large number of wounded nt Seoul. In addition 3,100 wounded Japanese have been sent to Japan. At Ping Yang there are 1.200 wontded Chinese iu the hospitals. The rebellious Tong Hais of Southern Corea are rest less and only the fact that they are not provided with arms prevents them from breaking ont in open revolt and moving on Seoul, for which many of them have started. Four hundred Japanese soldiers have been stationed at the king's palace. Seoul, as the kiug's brother is believed to be leagued with the Tong Hais. The Chinese are mobilizing a force at Kiren and gathering a strong force at Pow Ting Fu. The British consul at Seoul states that a dispatch bag which was officially sealed, must have been opened while in transit from Chemulpo to Seoul. This must have been done, the consul adds, with the knowledge of the highest Jap anese officials at Seoul, because they have since shown that they wore ac quainted with the gist of the contents of the bag. The consul has requested his home office to cable him instructions as to what action he shall take iu tho matter and some sharp interchanges of diplomatic correspondence are expected. A fierce battle was fought recently on tho banks of the Yalu river. Both sides lost heavily. The Japanese were re pulsed. At the beginning of August the whalers Aurora, Balena and Esquimau were in Prince Regent's inlet searching for white whales. They steamed in El vin bay and a party from the Balena went on shore. They had not got far when they came upon a ghostly ring of corpses, the remains of Esquimaux who evidently had died of starvation. The clean-picked and partly-devoured bodies revealed a story of cannibalism. One corpse had been beheaded aud the head was found thirty yaads away from the trunk at a place where some one had evidently made a meal upon the flesh and brains. It is supposed tho party, while traveling, found their progress blocked by the setting in of winter. One by one they succumbed to hunger, and finally the stronger, in an attempt to save their own lives, were driven to eat the others. A Qo Heboid Tea sura. D. W. Fuller, of Cnnajohario, N.

Weir, president of the Adams Express company, has received a pouch containing a number of bonds, insurance policies, stocks, drafts, bills of lading and other valuable documents. These papers were stolen from the company's safe in the express car of the train which was robbed at Aquia creek on October 12th. The safety deposit vaults of the Omaha National bank have been robbed in so dextrous a manner that no clew to the way in which the work was done is obtainable. Large snms of money have been taken from the boxes, and theexact amount of losses cannot be known until all have been examined. A dispatch from The Dalles. Or., says: Frank Kline, son of ex-City Marshal Kline, and Otis Savage, who father was circuit judge 01 this district for years, have bA arrested for the Pacific Express robbery of 14.000. All but flOO has been recovered. Five thousand was found in the house of the ex -marshal. The arrest has caused a tremendous sensation. There was a peculiar shooting affair at St. Joseph's hospital. Fort Wayne. Ind., which will result in one fatality and probably two. For many years John Hoffman, aged 70, and Hubert Allea. aged 60, have beeu inmates of the hospital and filled the positions of assist ant janitors. HuJmna is of a very irri table dis-pueition and has been the object of the other inmates' baiiiuape for a long time. A few days ago he purchased a revolver and secreted it. About 3 o'clock in the morning he was awakened by Alles snoring. Hoffman arose, turned up lights, donned his pantaloons, secured his revolver, deliberately walked up to Alles' bed and fired a bullet into ha neck. Tbe bullet passed entirely through and dropped out underneath the right j.iw. Realizing what he had done. Hotfuian turned the gun to his own head and fired, the ballet glanced off and lodgvd in the wall a few inches above one of the sleeping inmates' head. The force of the bullet, however, frac tured Hoffman's skull and he will hardly recover. Alles is expected to get welL In excuse for his crime old man Hoffman said: " Alles snored li se cats and dogs, and I wouldn't stand it. " Peter Cline, son of farmer dine, I., was arrested in an Iowa town three years ago for robbery. The crime he was charged with was the taking of goods out of the store where he was employed as clerk. He made his escape before he was taken to prison and was never recaptured uutil recently, and then under peculiar circumstances. After his escape $50 was offered as a reward, but no one succeeded in getting it. Two weeks after his escape, three years ago. a woman made her appear ance at farmer Cline's and was intro duced as a sister. Miss Cline had gen tlemen callers and everything went well. An officer from Iowa, however, put in an appearance and arrested the supposed woiuau. who proved to be Peter Ciiue, and who for three years lias worn female garments and has made his home here until arrested. Cliue was taken to Iowa. Prairie fires are sweeping over the sandhills in Nebraska and are doing im mense damage. The flames are travel ing with almost lightning rapidity and consuming everything in their track. The fire was driven by wind through the central portion of Sheridan and Cherry counties. In its track were the big Osborne aud Spade ranches and a number of smaller ones. Not a vestige of these ranches exist except the burned and scorched ground. The fire reached Pullman and the whole country in that neighborhood was a raging furnace. It is uot known whether any lives were lost, but thousands of head of cattle have perished. The people in the track of the fire are fleeing for their lives, leav ing their property to the mercy of the names. The fire broke ont last Monday in the sandhills about fifty miles south of Gordou, aud has burned over a strip of conutry 100 miles in length by 40 miles wide. The striking weavers at Fall River, Mass., have returned to work. The trouble between the white and colored screwmen or stevedores at New Orleans culminated in a large party of the whites capturing the police on duty, eight in number, boarding the vessels that had employed colored men and throwing into the river all the imple ments used in their work. About sets of screws, costing f511 each, were lost. All the vess?ls boarded were British craft and a demand for indem nity is likely to be made.

The apparently authorized announce ment that the Princess of Wales and fcer daughters have taken to riding tri cycles is expected to give a tremendous boom to the manufacture of that class of cycling machinery, which has been in a state of decline for several years. Po lite society has always professed to re gard cycling with scorn as an essentially vulgar and plebian form of exercise and amusement. The Princess having set the fashion, fashionable dames and their middle class imitators are bound to fol low it. Much gratification is expressed that the Princess did not take to the bi cycle and "rational dress," the use and abuse of which have brought a great deal of undeserved ridicule upon this form of healthy recreation to benefit solely the artists and writers for comic papers. It is said the Princess of Wales commenced tricycling by the advice of her physicians. Mrs. Crittenden of Elyria, O., is the oldest person in that state.
