A r CHINESE VICTORY
Shanghai Papers Claim a
Big Battle.
JAPANESE FLED BEFORE THEM
Effect of the Tariff Bill on the English
Wool Market The Xrieutln
of Cyprus.
Shangbai, Aug. 29. The native prees
has received the confirmation of the re
ported battle between the Chinese and
Japanese troops August 13th. Accord
ing to these reports 5000 Chinese troops
attacked the Japanese forces detailed to
guard the Ping Nang passes in North
west Corea, and eventually succeeded in
driving the Japanese from their posi
tions. It is added a large number of
Co re an s flocked to the Chinese standard,
begging for arms and for permission to
form the advance guard of the' Chinese
forces moving against the Japanese.
August 14th, according to reports re
ceived by the native press, the Chinese
were reinforced by four thousand
troops from Yi-Chow, and the day fol
lowing they attacked the Japanese lines
at Chung Ho, and the Japanese retreat
ed. August 16th the Chinese army was,
the report 6ays, farther reinforced by
13,000 fresh, troops, and August 17th
they attacked the Japanese, who are
said to have lost 4000 men and heavy
baggage. The Chinese August 18th ad
vanced to Hang-Chow, and passing- too
near the Tsien-Tang river, thirteen Jap
anese warships opened fire upon them,
inflicting a loss of several hundred men.
At ebb tide the same day three Japan
ese warships found themselves grounded,
and were afterwards severely damaged
by the fire Of the Chinese artillery
handled from ambush. The bulk of the
Japanese forces, it is further asserted,
retreated southward, pursued by the
Chinese cavalry until night stopped the
latter'a advance. General Yeb, the
Chinese commander, made a detour and
attacked the Japanese in the rear, com
pletely routing them and capturing
Hang-Chow. The general news received
here does not confirm these reports of
the native press. ' "
The Vanderbilt Scandal.
Kewpoet, E. I., Aug. 29. Talk of the
domestic infelicities of Mr. and Mrs.
William K. Vanderbilt, at Newport, ex
tends over a period of two years or more.
Two summers ago -W. K. Vanderbilt
turned up at Newport on the yacht Alva,
' and was on it when it was sunk in Vine
yard sound. A few months later Van'
derbilt, who is an enthusiastic yachts
man, went to England, where he re
mained while his present yacht Valiant
was being built. When Vanderbilt re
turned gossip was silenced by the an
nouncement of plans for a long trip with
Mrs. Vanderbilt and other well known
persons. Curious stories have reached
here of quarrels aboard the yacht which
resulted in the ' abandonment of the
cruise at an early stage, and entirely
breaking up the party. Mrs. Vander
bilt has told her friends Bhe had no in
tention of returning to Newport for
' years, and the marble house which cost
$1,000,000, and which her husband
settled on her, will remain closed.
Depew first heard of the late trouble
when the Debs crisis was at its height in
Chicago. When the strike was prac
tically over be sailed, and until word
was received yesterday to the contrary,
it was believed he had succeeded in
keeping the Vanderbilt family linen out
of he public wash. Cornelius Vander
bilt has left Newport.' Mrs. W. K.
Vanderbilt is a Southern woman of the
family of Smiths, of Mobile, Ala., who
are much prouder of their blood , than
the Vanderbilts are of their millions.
She is a handsome woman, and; al
though, she is exceptionally exclusive,
those who know her say she is gracious
and charming to those whom she favors
' with her friendship. " '
New York, Aug. . 29. According to
the Commercial Advertiser this after
noon .Immediately after the running of
the Grand Prix de Paris June 17th, W,
K. Vanderbilt was introduced to Nellie
Neustretter, a woman well known in
Paris for her beauty, and was so fascin
Highest of all in Leavening
ated that he openly presented her with
40,000 francs he bad won on the race.
He fitted up a magnificent establish
ment for her in Paris, and subsequently
gave her a residence at DeanviHe, with
servants who wore the same livery - as
that worn by Mrs. Vanderbilt's ser
vants. It is alleged some time ago Van
derbilt agreed to settle upon his wife
$10,000,000. -
The Tariff Bill Salts Canada.
Toeonto, Aug. 29. The new tariff
law, as . passed by the .United States
congress, causes considerable discussion
here among business men, and it is gen
erally believed it will have an important
bearing on Canadian .interests. The
most important feature of the measure,
as far as Canada is concerned, is the
placing ot sawed and dressed lumber and
all kindred materials on th free list.
It is ..thought among lumbermen that
the abolition of duty will mean in the
course of the next few years an export
trade upwards of $20,000,000 with the
United States. Free wool will bIbo re
sult in a considerable expansion of
trade. Barley, in which Ontario en
joyed a large trade before the McKinley
bill became operative, will, it is thought,
hardly revive under a duty of 30 per
cent. The same may be said of the egg
and horse trade, in which Ontario did a
very profitable business, flax-growing,
salt-making and bean-growing will prob
ably become profitable industries in
west Ontarid. ( On the whole the new
bill is welcomed by business men gener
ally as a harbinger of increased trade
between the two countries.
The English Wool Market.,
London, Aug. 29. A representative
of the house of Windeler & Co., the
largest woolbrokers engaged in Ameri
can trade in London, in an interview to
day expressed the opinion that the
American tariff bill would nndoubtedly
benefit the English market, which is
now feverish and uncertain. Stocks are
held firm here.'and dealers in the United
States are demanding lower prices. The
large stock of wools in the United States
and elsewhere, he believes, makes a per
manent riee doubtful. There is little
business now, and the next public sale
will not take place until September 13th.
The American dealers insist upon
cheaper raw material in consequence of
their reduced profit. The wool broker
firm of Jacob & Co.' concur in the views
of Windeler & Co., adding that a recent
sale of 2000 bales has been - made to
American buyers. Yorkshire houses
are jubilant over the passage of the
tariff bill into a law, and are confident
of increased business In the future.

Washington, Aug. 29. President

sylvania railroad this morning' on his

' ETacaatlon of Cyprus
Larnica, Island of Cyprus, Aug. 29.
Orders have been received here for the
evacuation of the island of Cyprus. The
British garrison is preparing to leave,
The news has caused a panic among the
Christian population, who believe the
island is about to be restored to the poa
session of the khedive.
London, Aug. 29 A representative' of
the British foreign office today explained
that the withdrawal of the British garri
son from Cyprus was due to military ex
igencies only, and had no ' political
meaning. .
May Be Annexed to Mexico.
Mexico Citt, Mexico, Aug. 29. It is
reported here that Chief Clarence, of
the Mosquito reservation, now in King'
ston, Jamaica, will shortly proceed to
Mexico for protection for himself and
his allies in Nicaragua. It is thought
he may make a definite proposition to
the Mexican government to annex bis
country and thus put an end to the
Central American troubles.

drills were held on the grounds of the

at 8 o'clock this morning. v It was not
expected much of a crowd would gather
at that early hour, but - the great num
ber of commands entered for prizes, and
the fact that the Washington and Cin
cinnati baseball clubs are to use the
grounds this afternoon, made it neces
sary that the drills should begin at the
time set. The competing organizations
