Since then Ihe lame land has la-en advertised by the same agent. It is held hy the Interior that, aa the rights of the gov ernment are in no way allcvted, there is nothing lor Hie department to lo in the premise. It i suggested, however, that the attention af the proix-r aillhoritie he called to the fraud with a view of saving innocent parties w ho do not take Hie troitlile to make a thorough Uivesti gallon of laud title.

Captain Mahan said : "The great thing with a fleet of war vessels with a lot of transport in charge i to prevent surprise and embarrass ment. In thia rase there wa a surprise, ami Hut tact to in v miml supplies a prominent lesson. It is necessary in at- tempting to convoy transiajrl that the convoying fleet should be decisively su- ix-rior to that ol the enemr. I am In clined lo think that the Chinese Admiral formed hia licet so close- in shore Ix-causc he wa oblige! lo do so. If he hail gone out to meet Ihe Jaini-se fleet, which wa the proper course, he would have um-overcd the nioiilh of the river, into which the IranstMjrt had gone; conse- i , i i. ipientiy ne drew up ciose in snore, ny whnli movement lie wa tactically em- harraased in the maneuvering. If hia fleet hail la-en larger than the Japanese, he might have advanced at the same lime, leaving a sufficient numlx-r of ves sels to hi-ad olf a rush, w hicli Ihe Japan eae might have made. The whole all'air illustrate Ihe extreme dilliciilty attend ing an attacking movement across Ihe water, miles vou have control of Ihe water alts ilutelv. " Whether Ihe Chinese succeeded In their object it doe not apli-ar, but the i Heat ion is whether it wax worth such a risk for the sake of landing Hie troops. It certainly wa bad management to light so dose in shore, for twit of the Chinese vessel had not room to turn, and wi went ashore. That i '.me reason why the Japaneae did not try to prtaa through the I Inncae line, lor they would have gone into shallow water and lie- come entangled. It wa a big engage ment lor modern vessels, imt i see nothing yet to lead me to supixiae that the engagement will txiint to the recon- striii tiiui or remodeling of war ve-el. The detail so far are very meager. I don't know anything alxmt the manner of attack, hut doubtless lx-fore long the Japanese will give full information. I don't even know w hat wa the formation of the Chinese fleet in resisting the at tack. All that i clear l that the Jap anese were on the oltehiive and Chinese on the defensive. " What interest me most i to know the manner in which the battle wa fought. l'ain thia xiint we have nothing, lint Ihe great lesson i in the risk of attempting to carry a great (one acro-s the water. A a general rule such an attempt is unsafe. Never! he les the mere existence ol a hostile Meet doe not constitute such a determent nixin the resolute man who sees that the object of hi attempt is siillicient to justify the risk. It remain to lie seen whether the ohiect the I In Here accom plished waa sulticic ntlv iinixirtatit to justify the risk he took. To a naval man Ihe moat interesting thing will la to know in what order the Japanese fleet approached the Chinese, whether it wa concentrated uimiii part ol the I lnnese line or spread out over the w hole line. I have no time to say more, as 1 have too much ship work to cart-fully itudy the mailer. TIIK TIM r.M' I.KAUKK. Th ravarlte Hoa af K,i,t. Ad( laraaa t'aagresainan All,,,,,,, j," d.r la a llul.l-ll.

The Time thi morning publiahtil a leading article, in which it savs Japan ha aircadvef (ii'tiil enough to convince intelligent men the world over that henceforth thev must reckon with a new xwer in the fur Fast. Ping Yang and Yalu have oih-ikiI the eve of all not willfully in lillerent or Mind that a new state has taken her rank in the hierarchy of na tions, and tliat her voice cannot longer Ih ignored in the council. The Novoe Yn-inva, the Time adds, reminds u that litissi still hanker for the posses sion ol a secure oix-n liartxir on the l a citlc. Such a posaeasion would la? a great menace to Ixith Kngland and Japan, who are likelv to la loiimi rtanding side hv side on some iinxirtant ixiints should the power intervene in the present depute. In another article discussing the war the dime calculate the Japanese will certainly reach W iju from Ping Yang at the end'of thia week, and that they will meet the t lnnese troops that were land ul on the Coresn bank of the Yalu river by Admiral Ting, Continuing, the paticr savs : "It is not clear whether the Chinese transHirts had time to disembark their stores. Al any rate the condition of the Chinese column must fx precarious, and there seem nothing to prevent a .la nan rnadrun from revisiting tin mouth of the l alu and destroying anv I lnnese trans ports remaining there. Further, it would a easy for the Japanese to move troop ny sea irom ring tang to tlie talu ami then shift their haseofotH-ratioiis farther north, thus supplying reinforcements to the column marching northward from Ping Yang. Thia is almost certain to he lone if an advance in Manchuria is in tended. With regard to an attack nixin .viiikdcn, the Japanese cannot overl.xik the fact that, apart from it presumed sanctity, it is a position ol little military alu. It is not the shortest or Iw-st route to Peking. If the naval sitnation permit the free use of the Yalu river as a basis, it will equally allow a far nearer point of disembarkation. Whether or not such defenses a Mukden possesses would prove formidable to the Japanese artillery, tne fighting power ol the Chi nese would show to the tx-st advantage in tne (i.-iense ot a walltil city. On the whole, ditliciiltie and uncer tainties msv stid deter the Japanese commander Irom emharking upon such an adventure, the pacification and ad ministration of Core would in them- Ives absorb the energies of a larire military force during the w inter. With yard to Hie naval haltle the ilaiiia.-s inflicted must have done in the dav of Ihe ' seventy-fours. Of ram mini? we hear nothing, and it is not clear that Judge Kinkaid said again he wnnh-d no trouble on the streets, and that he waa not armed. I-ano threw his cat back, and said he w as not armed, either. aud repeated theoll'eiisive language. II, Judge walked away.
