Besides General daybreak with a direct cannonade upon i Tso Fonk Fal, commander-in-chief of the Chinese works, and this fire was continued without cessation until the afternoon. The Chinese worked their nuns well, replying effectively to the Japanese fire. At 2 p. m. a body o' Jap anese infantry was thrown forward in skirmiih line ai.d kept up a rifle fire upon the enemy till dusk. All the fight ing during the day was done by the Pong ! ban column. The Chinese defenses suf-i fered exceedingly from the Japanese fire, ' but it is doubtful if the losses on either ! sido were great, as the troops of both the Chinese and Japanese took every advan-1 tago possible of the shelter which the. earthworks on one side and the nature of ; the ground on the other offered. Flank attacks upon the Chinese port did not develop material advantage during the day, although the Japanese gained some in position. Firing was continued at in tervals throughout the night. The main two flanking columns of the Japanese drew a cordon around the Chi nese troops, and at 2 o'clock in the morning the Japanese attack was delivered simultaneously und with ad mirable precision. The Chinese, ut terly unsuspicious of the Japanese at tack from the rear, became panic stricken and were cut down and bayoneted by hundreds. So well was the Japanese at tack directed, that the Chinese were sur rounded at every point, and eventually sought safety in flight. Defending the intrenchments were aome of Viceroy LI Hung Chang's picked Chinese troops, drilled by Europeans. These soldiers made a determined stand to the last, aud were rut down to a man. The Pong San columns swarming over the damagdd defenses ot the Chi nese front completed the rout of the Chi- j nese, and the whole of the latter's posi- j tion was captured by the troops of the ! mikado. Half an hour after the early morning attack of the command the strongly defended position of the Ping Yan was in the hands of the Japanese troops. It is believed the Chinese posi tion at Ping Yun was defended by 20,000 Chinese, of whom only a few escaped. An immense amount of provisions, am munition, arms and other stores, in ad dition to 100 flags, were captured by the Japanese. It in estimated the Chinese lost 14000 iiu-n killed, wounded and prisoners. Atvong the captured Chinese are several of the most prominent commanding of ficers of the Chinese troops in Corea. Only a few Chinese commanders suc ceeded in escaping, and these got away almost immediately after the Japanese nisile an attack upon the, Chinese rear. Among the Chinese commanders taken prisoners was General Tso Fonk Wai, commander-in-chief of the Mancburian army, who fought desperately to the lsst, and only yielded when badly wounded. Only 30 Japanese were killed and 270 wounded, including 11 Japanese ollicers. The Japanese, when this dis patch was sent, were actively pursuing the fugitive Chinese, and as nearly all the latter were without arms, they will undoubtedly surrender as soon as the Japanese overtake them. As far as act ive operations of the Chinese in Corea are concerned the war is practically at au end. The Coreans who have shown sympathy with the Chinese and a few detached bands of Chinese may succeed in getting another army to Corea, but that country will remain in undisputed possession of the Japanese. In view of previous reports received as to the terrible condition of the roads in the north, and the utter impossibility of moving guns and supplies southward, it is not likely there will be any more fighting of importance in Corea during the present year. It is hoped the vic tory may serve as a basis for peace nego liationd. In(i)irif of the Japonwe lega tion here confirm the report of a vic tory in I'inu Van, Sa.1 Fhancihco, Hept. 17. Private ad vice received in thia city from Yoko hama itate that a cor pa of trained female nurHe linn Wen diapatched from the Tokio training acliool to Seoul, and other are being specially trained for thin s.-rvice. Throughout all Japan the wornnn have caught the war fever, anil the greatext enthitriiaain prevails. A nurnbi.-r of ladies of rank have offered to go to the seat of war as volunteer nurses, and others have even offered to raise a corps of female warriors, an offer not so strange as might at first sight appear, as all Japanese ladies of good family are taught the line of the sword and haldred, and many of them are very expect with these weapons. the Mancburian army, who only sur- rendered when badly wounded, the Japanese captured Generals Tso Paok Woi, Wei Ink Wei, Xayu Kow Eng and Sei Km Lan. practically all the effective Chinese staff. The Chinese prisoners are to be sent to Japan in batches of 1000 in Japanese transports. Tiie Shanghai correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette ststes the Japanese in the attack on Ping Yang were enabled hy brilliant moonlight during the night throughout which the battle lasted to do great execution with their field guns, The Ping Yang garrison numbered 20,000 The Jaimnese are advancing on Monkden. The correspondent adds it is reported IJ Hung Chang has been deposed. An- j nother Sbsnghi dispatch says Chang has been deprived of his three-eyed peacock feather because of his mismanagement of the Corean campaign. The secretary of the Chinese legation says with reference to the reported sui cide of Li Hung Chang, that he received a message from Chang, dated Tien-Tsin today, in which be expressed fears that the Chinese would have great difficulty in retaining Ping Yang. A GREAT XAVAL BATTLE fOCOIIT. London, Sept. 19. A dispatch filed at Shanghai at midnight says the Chinese Northern squadron, under the com mand of Admiral Ting, left Port Arthur last Friday night, having under convoy seven transports; loaded with troops. The object of the expedition was to land troops near Wiju, whence they were to he sent to the front. The enemy's fleet was sighted off the Jalu river bearing down upon the Chinese squadron. The Chun Tuen, one of the most pow erful vessels in the Chinese navy, fired a shot at the Japanese as soon as the latter came in rane of her guns, The tire was promptly returned and soon the Chen Yuen, also, was hotly en gaged with two large Japanese cruisers, one of which is said to have been the Chi Yoda. the other Japanese vessels took positions and for six hours the bat tle was waged furiously. The solendid cruiser Chin Yuen took a prominent part in the engagement. One of the Japanese vessels discharged a torpedo which struck her fairly. When it ex ploded it was apparent it had done great damage, for the Chin Yuen began almost immediately to settle. Her crew, however, stuck to their guns and delivered some effective shots before the vessel sank. The belted cruiser King Yuen met a similar fate, being struck with a torpedo and sinking shortly afterwaJd. Many of the crew of both vessels went down while shooting at close quarters. Only a few on board were saved, and it is re ported that 600 ollicers and men were drowned by the foundering of the two vessels. After the Chin Yuen and the Kin Yuen had gone down, the cruiser Yang Wei and the Choa Y'ung ran aground while maneuvering for posi tion. They were helpless and a de structive Are was poured into thorn from the big guns of the Japanese. Some of the Japanese warships devoted them selves for a time to the transports, which had not time to get out of range. It is believed several transports were sunk, including one from which the troops had not been landed. It is estimated the total Chinese loss in killed and wounded is 1500. It is reported the Japanese loss was 1000 killed and wounded. Home-made hreact is recognized as the very best at all times and the cus tomers of J.

POWEU OF PRAYER In Kentucky the Prayers of the Righteous Araileth Much. RHElkE.XRIIU.E IS DEFEATED. The Seventh Commandment Found Valiant Defenders at the Polls in the Old liliiegrass State. Lkxi.noton, Sept. 15. No election or other occasion ever caused such general usxnsioii of buriineas as the contest be tween Owens and Breckenridge and E. K. f-ettle for the democratic nomination for congress from the seventh, belter known as the AfthUnd district. For months Ihe district has been agitated in the most bitter manner. It was not apolitical or even a factional fight; it was a moral contest. For weeks and months, and during the last few days, it became intensly personal. Colonel Breckenridge was fighting for lile, and I he never before made such speeches or displayed such executive ability in or ganization. He marshaled every man j he could command, but he could nut j command the women. They bad no I votes, but they were the controlling ele ment in the fight. At the Owens head ! quarters to night their claims have run j up from 400 at 7 o'clock to two, three, j four and even five times that plurality, i and they say in their rejoicing: "The j ladies did it." j The ladies could not get ward-workers to their prayer meetings, but ttieir or ganizations of committees of one gen erally obtained promises at home oat ot Jthe voters, who needed watching on en , tering the hooths. The great surprise ' ol the day was the good order of every ;one. There were some personal en I counters, but not as many as usual at j elections. Today, however great pre- caution was taken to prevent disorder, j If the Breckenridge men had enforced the challenge rule as strictly as expected there would have been trouble. So j early had the canvassing and polling been i done, that the challengers knew how al- most all the democrats stood, and they -i could have kept many from voting. It was generally believed the republican managers favored Breckenridge, as they hrvill An fl.a Ai-an nf I. to n.t.-. I n .. . i. n ".wufcl.v, 111 HO CDlll VI 1113 uuiuuiahiuu, i their candidate's election would not be J hopeless. Very few republicans, how ever, voted. As many precincts were i Ion? distances from the telegraph office i the complete returns will likely not be known before morniug, but Owens seems to be so much in the lead that it will not require the complete returns to settle the result. Owens won his victory today by a superb organization. At every precinct I his voters were on hand early, and forced the voting. The news spread over the district and had k wonderfully dis couraging effect on the Breckenridge people. Some of today's happenings have been amusing, others dramatic, and in one or two instances there has been a deeply touching picture in the panorama of events. Captain B. J, Treacy, presi dent of the Owens club, and his son-in-law, James C. Rogers, clerk of the cir cuit court, were ranging on opposite sides in the duty of challenging voters. Both these men are prominent horsemen known all over the United States. They have been' intimate friends for years, but the bitterness of this day's contest has perhaps ended the peace of their families forever. Several times today these two men nearly came to blows, and it was only the presence of cooler beads that prevented an unfortunate affray. Captain Treacy had determined to challenge every Breckenridge vote. He had blanks already prepared, and upon these be had written the names of the entire list of the representative's supporters in the precinct. As each man olford to vote, the captain handed in to the election officers the printed chal lenge, and then a furious wrangle fol lowed. His son-in-law, Rogers, under took to retaliate by challenging all Owens' followers, and the voting was delayed in many instances - for half an hour, while the enraged men fought it out. On Main street in front of the Plnenix hotel, this morning, an express messen ger, who has always been a strong Breck enridge man, was on his way to the polls when he was met by bis aged mother who. with tears in her eyes, begged him not to vote for "the brazen libertine," as she called the congiessman. The boy promised and one more vote was made for Owens. . Colonel Breckenridge was himself one of the first to vote. He lives in the third ward, and as be approached the polls the crowd fell back, and Borne of his friends cheered faiutly. The colonel bowed his most graceful acknowledg ments and put in a ballott for himself. No general effort was made at Lexington to enforce the rule requiring voters to. take an oath to support the nominee (Continued on eighth page.)
