Shanghai, Sept. 14 If reports lrom Corea can be believed, tbere seems no 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 ment against tbe anticipated attack by 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.

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 were Durnea. 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. , Breckinridge and the Women.

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.

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. Dry 'Wood.

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.

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.

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. Wool Scouring- Hill.
