donbt tbe Japanese forces operating
8?ainst tbe Chinese are likely to be
bemmed in. Dispatches from Fueao
bring additional confirmation of reports
tbat the whole of Southern Corea bag
lisen against tbe Japanese. It aso seems
confirmed tbat a Japanese lorce ot 30UO,
who attempted to march from Kusan to
Sconl, met with disaster serious enough
to compel them to return to tbe former
place, with liiOO of their number missing
A force of 2000 fresh troops baye arrived
at Fusan, to protect tbe Japanese settle

Tonghaks, gathering in the neighborhood
General Liu Tung Fa, a prominent
Black Flag chief of Anral, has received
order, from the throne to depart as soon
as possible for Formosa, where be (a to
act as assistant imperial highway com
missioner. General Lui Yung Fu, at tbe
end of August, Attempted to transport
500 soldiers from Swatow to Formosa,
but, bearing rumors s Japanese squadron
was cruising in tbe vidimty of For mot a,
tbe captain of tbe steamer engaged to
transport tbe Chinese troops would not
put to sea, id spite of tbe entreaties and
tbreats of tbe Black Flag general, fi oik,
tog daunted, General Lui Yung Fu sue
ceeded in smuggling the men into tbe
island in small parties. A transport
steamer was afterwards overhauled by
three Japanese cioiters, who sent armed
men to board her. The Japanese officers
examined the ship's papers and searched
tbe steamer, evidently bavins received in -
formation tbat General Lui Yung Fu
was likely to be on board.
A disastrous fire occurred at Chung
Ems tbe evening ol August 25, Tbe
conflagration is said to bave rged all
night. Before midnight the whole amtb
eastern portion of ibe city was in flames.
About 30 persons are known to bave
perished, end it is probab'e the actual
loss of life was e renter. It is roughly
estimated the loss by fire will amount to
fully 15,000,000 tuels. About 2000 build
ings were destroyed. fo foreign bouses

Japanese W ar Htary-
Nkw York, Sept. 14 The following
remarkable message in tbe orginal has
been translated by s Japanese gentleman
in New York.. It was sent by a Japanese
special correspondent serving with tbe
fleet in tbe Gull of Pe-Chi Li to tbe news
paper in Japan which be represents, and
tbe name ot which is for obvious reason
withheld; . Tbe Japanese government,
however, which exercises a strict censor
ship over all news relating to the war,
prohibited its publication. It is dated
"With tbe Japanese fleet before Wei-Hal-
Wei, Gulf of Pe-Cbi-Li, August 13":
"At 11 o'clock yesterday morning, An
gust 11, our fleet, consisting oi 12 men of
war and a fleet of sis torpedo boats, took
advantage of tbe darkness of tbe night
and crept into tbe harbor at Wei-Hai
Wei unknown to tbe Chinese in the torts
and vessels. Six torpedo boats were sent
out with tbe purpose of blowing up the
Chinese warships anchored within. Tbe
fleet was proceeding in tbe wrong direc
tion, and tben, discovering tbeir mistake,
tbey tnrned back, changed tbeir course,
and made straight to tbe place wbere tbe.
Chinese lay in safety. When midway, a
British man-of-war, which was anchored
tbere, fired a salute for tbe Japanese
vessels, a very unnsual thing to do in
such circo Distances. Upon this all tbe
electric and searchlights at the forts were
lighted in n Instant, and soon all tbe
forts were in activity. An exchange of
shots for over an hour followed. Seeing
tbat the plan to take tbe Chinese by sur
prise bad fallen throogb on account of
the salute from tbe British, and fnrtber
firing being of no avail, tbe Japanese
retired. As tbe torpede flotilla was re-
turning, a Chinese torpedo against it, but
failed . to do any damage, and for its
trouble was instantly rewarded by being
sunk by a torpedo discharged from one
of the Japanese boats. The salutes from
tee British vessels cannot but De regarded
as a signal - to make tbe slumbering
Chinese know of tbe presence of the
Japanese, as it is not customary to fire
salutes at tbe dead of night."
Aatl-Lynelilna; Crusade.
St. Louis, Sept. 14 At tbe African M.
E. conference ihis evening at least 1200
persons were present to bear tbe discus
sion of Miss Ids Wells on BBtl-lyncbiDg
work. Bishop Walters, the first speaker.
commenced his remarks with a denuncia
tion of tbe recent lynching near Memphis
nf six colored men . He spoke of tbe
English investigating committee, and
said :
"Ere thev arrived upon our shore this
crime, which beggars description, was
given to tbe world to silence tbe guns of
our enemies. It gave tbe lie to the slan
deroua reports which bad been sent across
tbe waters. We do not condone crimes
committed by any member of tbe race.
Indeed, it is our duty as ministers to lift
up our voices against sin of every kind.
But, while we do our duty ia this respect,
we want our white b others to see that
wbeo we are accused of crime we are
given a fair trial . Outrages are more ag
gravating when we remembtr tbat white
men can commit crimes against colored
women, and nothing is aaid about It.".
He complimented Miss Wells, and said
that God bad raised her up to see tbe
work she is doing. He closed by urging
bis people to form antl lynching leagues
and to do all in their power to abolish
lynching. ,

Ytrtorlcna Jap.
LospoN, Sept. 17 A dispatch from
Seoul, dated yesterday, sajs tbat during
tbe evening of Thursday last tbe Japanese
column lrom Pong San made a reconncis
ance lo farce, drawing the fire cf the
Chinese forts and ascertaining accurately
tbeir position. Tbis done, the Japanese
fell back in good order with little loss.
Friday night, tbe dispatch adds, all tbe
Japanese corps were in position tor a
combined attack. Que general column
was threatening the Chinese left flank,
the Pong San column was facing tbe
Chinese center and ibe Hwanxo column
was operating on tbe Chinese right. Tbe
latter column was reinforced by a de
tachment of marines and bluejackets
from tbe fleets stationed at the mouth of
Tae-Tong river. Tbe Chinese utilised
their old defenses at Ping Ysn, and threw
up new lorts, and tbeir position was ex
ceptlonally strong. Tbe battle opened
Saturday morning at daybreak with a
direct cannonade npon the Chinese works,
and Ibia fire was continued without cessa
tion until tbe afternoon. The Chinese
worked their guns welt, replying effec
tively to the Japanese tiro... At 2 p. m. a
body of Japanese infantry was tbtown
forward in skirmlfb Hoe and kept up a
rifle fire upon the enemy 'till dusk. All
tbe fighting during tbe day was done by'
tbe Pong San co'umn. Tbe Chinese
defenses suffered exceedingly from the
Jspanese fire, but it is doubtful If tbe
losses on either side were great, as tbe
troops of both the Chinese and Japanese
took every advanta.e possible of tbe
shelter wbicb tbe earthworks on tbe one
side and tbe oatuee of tbe ground on tbe
otber offered, Flank attacks upon tbe
Chinese post did not develop material
advantage daring tbe day, although the
Japanese gaioed some in position. Firing
was' continued at intervals throughout
tbe night. Tbe main two flanking col
umns of tbe Japanese drew cordon
around tbe Chinese- troops,, and at 3
o'clock in tbe morning tbe Japanese at
tack was delivered simultaneously and
with admirable precision. Tbe Chinese
utterly unsuspicious of the Japanese at
tack from the rear, became panic Strieker,
and were cut down and bayoneted by
hundreds So well was tbe Japanese
attack directed, tbat the Chinese weie
surrounded at every point, and eventually
sought safety in flight, ,
Defending the intrenebment were some
of Viceroy Li Hung Chang's picked Chi
nese troops, drilled by Europeans. These
soldiers made a determined stand to tbe
last, and were cut down to a man. Tbe
Pong San columns swaimiog over the
damaged defenses of tbe Chinese front
comp'eted the rout of tbe CQinese, -and
tbe whole of tbe latter', position was
captured by tbe troops of tbe mikado.
Half an hour after the early morning
attack of tbe command the. strongly de
fended position of Ping Yen was in the
bands ot tbe Japanese, troops.' It is
believed tbe Chinese position at -Ping
Yan was defended by 2000 Chinese, of
whom only a few escaped.. An immense
amount of provisions, ammunition, arms
and other stores, in addition to 100 flags,
were captured by tbe Japanese It is
estimated tbe Chinese lost' 1400 men
killed, wounded and- prisoners. Among
tbe captured Chinese are several ef tbe
most prominent commanding officers of
the Chinese troops in Uurea. Only a lew
Chinese commanders succeeded in escap
ing, and these got away almost immedi
ately after tho Japanese made an attack
upon tbe Chinese rear. Only 30 Japa
nese were killed and 278 wounded, in--eluding
11 Japanese offers. The Japanese,
when tbis dispatch wassenl, were actively
pursuing the fugitive Chinese, and as
nearly all the latter were without arms,
tbey will undoubtedly surrender as soon
as tbe Japanese overtake tbem. As iar
as active operat'ons of the Chinese in
Corea are concerned ibe war is practically
at an end, .The Cureans wbo have shewn
sympathy with 'the Chinese and a few
detached bahds of Chinese may succeed
in getting another array to Corea, but
tbat country will remain in undisputed
possession of tbe Jaoanese.

, Double Tragedy In Portland.
We learn fnm the Ortqonian that veeter
day afternoon, about 1:30 o'olock, John W.
Stengele, a well-known young civil engi
neer shot and killed Mrs. Mabel Calvin, of
Worceater, Mats., wbo had been visiting
with relatives in Portland, and tben, plac
ing tha deadly revolver to his own head,
blew out bis brains. The tragedy 'occurred
on the si dewalk cu the toath side of Yam
hill street, .boot 100 feet west of Thirteenth
street. Tbr. e shots were fired in. quick
succession, aid the Iran and women f.ll
side by side on the pavement. ( Stengele
died instantly, and Ms victim gave only
one or two gasps 'after the arrival of several
bystanders who witnessed the shooting.
Unrequited love prompted tbe donble crime.
; The news of tbe terrible aff sir ereated in
tense intsrest, owing to the splendid fsmily
connections of both the dead, juid also their
large circle of acquaintances throughout tbe
city. Mrs. Calvin was - a daughter of Mp
S. Forehand, president and principal owner
ot the Forehand Arms Company, el Wor
cester, Mass , who is reputed to be worth
several million dollar.. She came here
about 18 mouuths ago. for the purpose of
securing a divorce from her husband, and
bad beeo making her boms with her rela
tives, Mr. aod Mrs. Jewett, at 472 Yam
bill street.
Stengele bad been ' in Oregon five years,
and for some time was employed at bis pro
fession of civil engineering. More recently
be had been working for tha city aa receiv
ing clerk in the "work of constructing the
new water works. He had exemplary hab
its, and was well thooght of by a host of
acquaintances, and had friends all over the
state, who will think it incredible tbat he
would commit so foul a erime. His mother
is quite wealthy and lives in Chioigo, ,
About one yer ago Stengele was intro
duced to. Mrs. Calvin, and a love affair soon
prang np betweeu tnem. From their
friends it is learned tbat they were both
smitten in real earnest, and that aa engage
ment followed, tbe marriage to take place
aa soon as Mr.. Calvin secured her divorce.
Some time ago, however, she began to treat
her lover indifferently, and ha evidently
proposed to bold her to her engagements.
In consequence, frequent quarrels arose,
aoi Stengele was miserable from tbat time
oo.' For two or three weeks frior to yes
terday be bad been graatly changed in man
ner, which was q iite noticeable : to bis
friends, wbo attributed it to poor health. '
Before committing tbe . deed, he' went to
the Portland Botel snd wrote a letter to hi.
friend, Mr.- Clo'bessy, stating that he was
about to kill himself, and this was found on
bis person at the mcrgae.
Both were highly respected, and moved
in the highest circles of society in Portland.
Tbe tragedy bas ereated the greatest ex
citement, as the part ir a were well known
and the tagical ending of their live, was
very -unexpected.

Why Fmlt la xot Shipped.
It appears that Californian frnit dealers
have the same drawbacks in shipping their
produce to market that has been exoeri-
noed by Uregooiaos. A San Frsnoi.co
nispstcn of September 14th ssys:
"A prominent fruitdealer of this oitv.
when shown a "dispatch from London atat-
ing
thai frnitdealers there are annoyed by
fact that no California frait is arriving.
the
gives a few faota why .growers do not con
tinue the shipments. 'SjI. Runyon,' he
said, 'one of whose orchards is near Court
land, on the Sacramento river, has been
tmoog the largest shippers in California.
This year he sent 30.000 cases to Chicaoo
-o-
and some to London. A few davs sgo be
got bis returns, and they showed that, after'
the freight, commission and brokersge bsd '
been paid, there was an even $1000 coming
to him.. That is, for 30.000 boxes of fruit
he got 3) cents a box. - But that is not all.
The 30,000 boxes coat him 5 cent, apiece,
ft cost on an. average 5 cents a box for
picking and tanking, and 5 cents a 'box '
more for the piper in- which the' fruit was
wrspped snd for the hauling sod shipping.
Mr. Runynn lost not ootv his fruit:' bit ia

yon s case i. not a solitary one. All the

A T rrlbln Straggle.
Particulars have just come to this ottJoe,
says the Eugene Uuard, of a vicious dog at
tacking little Wyatt Wilson, aged 8 year',
in the Winzenried hop yard, three miles
east of Crenwell, last Monday afternoon,
that nearly ended id tha child', death. She
will no doubt be horribly dis6gired for life.
It appears tbat the little girl, witb several
other chil Iran, were playing in the shave '
hop yard, near their tent, when little Wyatt
threw a rock at a bird, and then the dog,
which was tit d to a wagon, suddenly
pounced npon tha little- child, burling ber
to tbe ground with, great fores; and then
tbe enraged canine bit one side of ber faoe
in several places, and actually at one bits
fore out three of her teeth.' Cries of warn
ing were seut np by tbs other children, and
with considerable difficulty the little one
was reicned by some men. who ran to the
scene.whe found her faca lacerated in a ter
rible manner. For forty-eight hours tbe at
tending physician thnughl deatb must re
sult, but now wa understand .he will re
cover. The dog was taken out and shot by
tbe owner. '
- ' A Prise Snake Story.
' Here is a snake sto-y from a -Becbuana-
laud paper, says tbe Ragoon Tine, which
we do not remember having seen before: A
Barberttn man wbo goes te church' regu
larly was one day walking along tbe ba ks
of Concession creek eatiog a aaudwicb, and
on account "of the usual disparity be' ween
meat and bread, he threw.- the redundant
piece into the water. Immediately a awarm
of yeltow fish bubbled round it fighting for
the mouthful. Tbe man searched h s pockets
for fishiug tackle, but all in vafn,and he
was just beginning to die with despair when
his eyes lighted ou a big black snake. ' At
that moment be remembered bow his lather
U ed to tell him that blacksnakea were very
expert in catchiug fisb. He therefore took
the rep ile by. tbe, tail, carried it to tbe
river, and held it over the struggling fish.
The snake proved itself a born angler, and
in the course of an bour tbe man had cap
tured forty fine Cah. A few days later, as
lie was wa'king in tbe ' same place, be felt
something rubbing against his leg, and
looking down, he saw bis friend, tbe black
suake, eager for more. sport.

- Portland Laia In Iowa.
Several miuisters sold $75,000 worth of
Portland lots in - Iowa, and now tbat the
bottom Is out of Portland lots tbe ministers
are getting it right and left. The Iowa i
Register gets mad as follows: Preachers
are being general y utilized to work busi
ness and political schemes of deception and
deceive many of the1 "elect." The ,,$75,'

worth $75 or 73 cents, but there is very
