F rancisco , October 23. — The
steamship City of Peking arrived from
the Orient this morning, bringing the
following additional advices to those
sent up by the steamer Australia from
Honolulu yesterday. The correspondent
of the North China Gazette telegraphed
his paper as follows in reference to the
battle of Ping Y an g:
“ I have just reached the front in tim e
to record tiie lirat serious fighting be
tween the opposing armies, which have
been lying opposite to each other for
several days. The Chinese were well in
trenched in Syenchong, Samteung and
Chounghoa, but most strongly at Ping
Yang, where 20,000 of their best troopB
occupied a most advantageous position.
They had been fortifying the place and
adding to its strength for weeks past.
The 11th and 12th ultimo Samteung,
Chounghoa and Syenchong were occu
pied after some resistance, and Hoang
Choo, a town south of the river Tatung
and from which this message is dated,
was also taken. But Ping Y’ ang, the
present objective point, remained in the
possession of the Chinese. The 15th the
Japanese main armv, after crossing the
river the previous day, advanced, and a
general attack was made upon the chief
Chinese stronghold, the last one in Corea.
A good deal of resistance was met with,
and the place was then regularly be
sieged. The Chinese had the advantage
of fighting behind protected earthworks
and bastions, but after a series of des
perate battles they were driven from
their defenses and utterly routed. The
Japanese, who fought with splendid de
termination and gallantry, won a com
plete victory. The siege lasted nearly
all the day and night of the 15th, and it
was not until the morning of the 16th
that the victors took undisputed posses
sion of the town. Of the 20,000 picked
Chinese troops who formed the garrison
many fled before the enemy entered the
town, aad the rest were either killed,
wounded or taken prisoners. Among
those captured was General T bb . The
amount of arms, stores and provisions
taken was immense. The Japanese loss
is, killed and wounded, about 800. N o
estimate has yet been made of the Chi
nese killed and wounded. The road to
China is now open.”
General Yauiagata has sent the follow
ing report of the battle to headquarters
at Hiroshima:
“ According to Major-General Oshima’s
report the greater part of the enemy
were encamped in Ping Yang itself and
on both sides of it. A small portion were
at Senkyori (on the right bank), and had
constructed a pontoon across the river.
Judging from the result of the attack,
the enem y’s cannon must have been lesa
than twenty. According to the natives
the enemy’s strength was about 40,000.
The main body was slightly delayed in
crossing the river, and in the attack, the
15th, killed over 100 horsemen ; but the
result of the attack on that day was not
complete. The attack was resumed the
morning of the 16th. Major-General
Oshima’s brigade had six officers killed
and twelve or thirteen wounded, and as
ammunition also began to fail,the brigade
was compelled to desist from the attack.
The battle in other directions, however,
was in our favor, and at about 8 a . m .
Ping Y’ ang fell completely into our
hands. A large number of the enemy,
including Tso Paokwei, their com
mander, were killed, wounded or taken
prisoners, and also very large quantities
of arms, ammunition and provisions fell
into our hands.”

C h ic a g o , October 22. —The Federal
grand jury to-day returned an omnibus
indictment against Debs and other offi
cers of the American Railway Union
and a large number of parties charged
with participation in obstructing the
mails on different roads last summer. In
all sixty-six persons are included in the
blanket indictment. The grand jory of
last summer, called to investigate the
strike, bronght in a large number of in
dictments, one for each man, in which
Debs and the other officers of the Amer
ican Railway Union were charged with
conspiring with the persons on the vari
ous roads who committed acts of vio
lence. I t was feared that, if a convic
tion were not secured on one of these
indictments, the government might be
barred from trying the officers on the
others, for the reason that the conspir
acy alleged is practically the samo and
the officers are defendants in all tho
cases. In order to avoid any danger on
that score the omnibus affair, on which
all officers and strikers may he tried at
once, was returned to-day. The indict
ment includes but a few defendants who
are not in the indictments.

W ash in g to n , October 22.—On a mo
tion by Gordon Carlisle, counsel for
Madeline Pollard in the case of Pollard
vs. Breckinridge of Kentucky, the Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia
ordered the appeal which had been asked
for in this case stricken from the docket
of the court on the ground that it had
not been entered within the statutory
time. This ends tiie litigation as far as
tiie courts of the District are concerned,
and leaves the plaintiff free to collect
her judgment of $15,000 and costs from
Colonel Breckinridge when and how she
can. Mr. Breckinridge’s salary for the
remainder of his Congressional term is
exempt by law from seizure, and there is
no provision in the laws of the District
of Columbia, as there is in the statutes
of some States, for the arrest and deten
tion of any person ateu t to leave the
jurisdiction of the State without com
plying with the judgments of the court«,

VALUE OF INTENSIVE FARMING
THE
PORTLAND
MARKETS.
The movement in merchandise, provl-
visions and groceries is of average vol
ume, and few changes are recorded.
The only important fluctuations In the
latter markets was a decline of 4 cent
per pound in package coffees. The fruit
market was slow and unchanged. Dairy
produce rules steady. Receipts of eggs
are larger, and game is coining in more
abundantly. Ponltry is in good snpplv,
but sales are slow and the market is
weaker.

Tiie truck gardener uses home and
commercial fertilizers more freely than
any other class of farmers. One main
essential for a good crop of early and
tender vegetables is a highly fertile soil,
and this fertility must be sustained
throughout the year. W e learn more
from these truck gardeners what a square
yard of soil will yield than from the large
general farms. Generally the garden 13
situated near a good market, and land is
so valuable that every foot must be util
ized. Laud is more valuable than ma
nure in their case, while on many large
farms the reverse is the case. A good
truck gardener will make a half-dozen
acres supinrt himself and family in com
fort, while many a farmer falls behind
every year on a fifty or 100-acre farm.
The difference, after all, is largely in th*
methods pursued by the two men.
The truck farmer teaches the value and
necessity of intensive farming. Reduce
the Bize of the farm so that every square
yard can lie thoroughly cultivated. It
improves the eoil as well as increasing
tiie vield. This is the reason why many
small kitchen gardens of farmers are
richer and more productive than the
general fields. They devote more time
to its cultivation, and incidentally in
crease its fertility. Manuring a garden
is not Bimply applying manure, hut is
also stirring up the elements of tiie soil
so that tiiey can he used as plant food.
The average Held is allowed to grow over
with weeds at some time, and after the
crop is well under way the soil cannot
tie fertilized or cultivated. Owing to the
absence of air and light in it a great dual
of the fertilizing elements naturally id
the ground is lost to the crop.
In the market garden there is a con
tinual cropping and an almost uninter
rupted tise of the land. One crop is
gathered, and another is immediately
planted. More manure is used and
plowed and harrowed in. Tho soil gets
soft, mellow and warm. Weeds are kept
down by the continual cultivation, and
the market gardener can continue to use
the same soil year after year without its
running out. In other wordB. this con
tinual cultivation, use and manuring of
the soil is the surest way to keep it
strong and fertile.
W e need plenty of available plant food
in our soil, and it must lie put there
liberally ami in the liest form. Hut one
of the most common things is to let a
great deal of this go to waste. The land
fs not cultivated sufficiently to mnkethe
food available for the plants. It conse
quently leaks down into the subsoil in
the course of time or is washed away.
Very often onr apparently infertile soils
do not seem to improve with the heavy
application of manure; but when they
are cultivated continually, and crops are
taken off and others nut in, the land
gradually improves. This is due simply
to the fact, that continual cultivation
often fertilizes as much as manure does.

The great evil that afilicts the poultry
flocks of the country to-day is inbreed
ing, says the American Farmer. This
course is followed by some through care
lessness ami by others to pr*shico birds
that will make a good record in the show
room. No matter what it may he that
causes the owner ot a flock of fowls to
follow inbreeding, the result is equally
disastrous, for the vitality of the whole
flock is low ered .it« productiveness di
minishes, and its progeny becomes
dwarfed. There are those who advocate
pretty close breeding in fowls in order,
as they say, to perpetuate the licet char
acteristics of their stork, bnt oftener it
is the weaknesses that are perpetuated,
and more than overbalance the good
derived from the practice if ever any
comes from it. Bantams are notoriously
poor breeders and hard to bring to per
fection, and this simply because they
have teen inbred with the deliberate
purpoee of dwarfing them nntil the vi
tality of the stock has become reduced
to such a low ehh that in manv cases the
chirk cannot snrvive the first lew jreeks.
Blood must te changed if the test re
sults are to te got from the breeding ot
poultry, and he who does not do this
will be sorry for his course if he pe:se
vere* in it for any length of time.
