A CRUSHING DEFEAT
The Late Battle Was a Per
fect Rout.
MANY CHINESE TAKEN PRISONERS
Bavolatlonary Plot In Faru Discovered
Lomb'k Island Trouble Bettled
by Natives Being- Defeated.
London, Sept. 18. A dispatch from
Ping Yang, Corea, eays : Every hour
adds to the crushing character of the
Chinese defeat. The total Chinese loss
is now said to be over 17,000 killed,
wounded and prisoners. The Chinese
prisoners not wounded number 14,500.
It is probable the number will be in
creased the next few days by prisoners
being constantly brought in by the
Japanese cavalry. Besides General Tso
Fonk Fai, commander-in-chief of the
Manchurian army, who only surrendered
when badly wounded, the Japanese cap
tured Generals Tso Paok Woi, Wei Ink
Wei, Nayn Kow Eng and Sei Kin Lan,
practically all the effective Chinese staff.
The Chinese prisoners are to be sent to
Japan in batches of 1000 in Japanese
transports.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Pall Mall Gazette states the Japanese in
the attack on Ping Yang were enabled
by 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 Japanese are advancing on
Monkden. The correspondent adds it is
reported Li Hung Chang has been de
posed. Another Shanghai dispatch eays
Chang has been deprived of bis three
eyed peacock feather because of bis mis
management of the Corean campaign.
The secretary of the Chinese legation
ays with reference to the reparted sui
cide of Li Hung Chang, that he received
I a message from Chang, dated Tien-Tsin
today, in which he expressed fears the
Chinese would have great difficulty in
retaining Ping Yang.
The New York Politicians.
Sabatoga, Sepf. 18. The state repub
lican convention called to nominate a
full state' ticket, was rapped to order
here today at 12 :40 p. m. Hon. Lem
uel Ely Quigg of New York city, was
made temporary chairman. Temporary
Chairman Quigg, in his address, ar
' raigned the democratic party for the
passage of the new tariff law, and de
nounced the machine democracy of New
York city. He said' the outlook for the
republican party in the coming election
was encouraging. The convention at
1:35 took a recess until 4:30.
The republican platform will stand by
bi-metalism, and condemn the attack
on American industries in the tariff bill
and its purpose of fostering the South
and spoiling the commercial interests of
the North, and condemn the broken
democratic promises. It will denounce
the income tax as a rabid and un-American
measure, violating personal rights.
In relation to the American Protective
Association, the convention points to
the constitutional provision which per
mits the free exercise and enjoyment of
religious profession and worship without
discrimination or preference, and rec
ommends its being ' strictly - followed.
As to the work of the constitutional
convention, the platform endorses the
movement to divorce national and state
politics from municipal, so an American
may express bis will in regard to city
government without the sacrifice of his
faith upon the political issued of the
day. ' .

STOPPED SMOKING TO SAVE.
But the Procedure Didn't Pan Out as
Profitably as He Had Expected.
Xerxes Jones determined to quit
smoking, says the Philadelphia Call
not, you know, that it had any baneful
influence upon his health, but solely
for the reason that he didn't feel justi
fied in spending twenty-five cents a
day for the weedy luxury. Jones had
a good disposition and began his new
scheme on Sunday.
"Seeing I've quit smoking, I'll put
an extra quarter in the collection box
to-day," he mused, and in the money
went.
Monday, just to please his little wife,
good Jones bought a forty-cent box of
mixtures and handed it over with the
remark: "No, my dear, it's no extrav
agance. Just about what I saved on
cigars to-day, and we both can enjoy
this after tea." Tuesday Jones bought
a fifty-cent toy for his little boy out of
the cash saved by abstinence from to
bacco. Wednesday he changed his
dining place down town from a twen
ty-five-cent to a fifty-cent table d'hote,
feeling justified in spending the extra
quarter saved on cigars.
Apparently forgetting this Thurs
day, the reformer remarked to himself:
"There's that new umbrella my wife's
been talking about. I'll buy that and
charge it up to two weeks' savings on
smoke." Friday a new dinner set was
purchased to please the wife of his
heart, and set over against twenty
weeks' savings from tobacco, and Sat
urday Xerxes Jones spent twenty-five
cents for cigars, having- lost six days of
his luxury, and . figured up that he
had saved on the wrong side of his
books just about thirty-eight dollars
and mnty cents.

oi politeness not to remember Chester

get 'Number One."
