Harrison arrived at Indianapolis from his eastern trip, on which he spent a week at the home of ex-Secretary Stephen B. Elkins, in West Virginia, where Mrs. McKee and her children remained for a visit of a week longer. When asked about the political prospects in New York this fall he said that he had no doubt the republicans would carry New York. “What do you think of the factional fight among the New York republicans?” “I saw but few of the republican leaders in New York,” said Mr. Harrison. “I did not meet Mr. Platt or Mr. Depew or any of the prominent men in our party in that state. I left New York ten days ago, and since that time I presume matters have changed somewhat. I cannot predict as to the outcome there. “From what I could see and hear,” he continued, “our party will carry New Jersey this year and will elect a republican to the United States Senate. There is much dis- satisfaction with the democratic record, and Mr. Wilson, I believe, has alienated his dis- trict from democratic beliefs. I look for- ward to the election there of Mr. Dayton, who is a strong and brilliant mar and will represent the district with credit. If he ts as successful in working the people,” he continued, with a smile, “as he was with me, there will be no doubt of his success at the polls. When my train reached Grafton I saw that the car was being switched off “to a side track and I could not comprehend what the intention was. In an hour's time there was a crowd of perhaps 2,500 neople about and I had to make a speech. Mr. Dayton had arranged for the occasion with- out consulting me, but I made the vest of it that I could, and, no reporters being pres- ent, I spoke with more than usual freedom. “I found the republicans of West Virginia highly enthusiastic, and there was a pro- nounced opposition to the tariff bill adopted by the present Congress. The miners do not take at all kindly to it.” Mr. Harrison was asked if Mr. Elkins had been a candidate for the congressio::al nomination against Mr. Wilson, and sald that he thought Mr. Elkins’ ambition was to go to the United States Senate In case the republicans should control the legis- ture. “Upon my return here I find it stated that the greatest danger to the democratic party at present is overconfidence. If the is suffering nothing but overconfi- dence it is in a very healthy state, I am sure. During my eastern trip I did not find the beseacinam ae at all —— al Speaking o! own political appcint- ments, the ex-President said that he ex- pects to make two speeches in Indiana, but did not say that he could not make others either here or in other states. He had re- ceived enough invitations, he said, to take all his time until Christmas, including some from as far away as Texas, but he could not accept them. Castoria For Infants and Children.

CHINLSE PAPERS CLAIM A VICTORY Troops Kept Back by a Rise in the * Imchin River. REPORTS MADE BY LOURISTS SHANGHAI, September 12.—Rumors have reached here that a battle had been fought between the Chinese and Japanese near Kai Cheng, Corea. The engagement is said to have taken place about September 2. Native newspapers of September 10 say the fight lasted two days, and that it was still undecided when this news was for- warded to the native press. The Chinese papers of September 12 an- mounce that Gen. Yeh, the Chinese com- mandes, reports having gained a victory over the Japanese. It is supposed here, however, that the Chinese have met with a reverse at Ping Yang. A private dispatch received here confirins the news that more fighting has occurred, with undecided result. ‘The flvods in Corea still prevent the Chi- nese troops from crossing the Imchin river in order to attack the Japanese entrench- ments, Another report current here says that the Kirino division of the Chinese army has crossed the Kulin river, and that it is now holding the city of Suhning, while awaiting the advance of the main body of the army before attacking the Japanese right flank. No reliable news, it may be added; is ob- Soe Sere raed tote sree ot e war. ‘The Hupoa reports that the Chinese ad- miraity has determined to order to Fei Yang from the Yang Tse coast all war- ships of a certain tonnage and armament. The Hupao adds that a number of torpedo boats from the squadrons at Foo Chow, Canton and Nanking will also be ordered to Pei Yang. . The intriguing enem‘t<: of Viceroy Li Hung Chang have reported to the throne the presence at Tien Tsin of Chang Pei Lun, the viceroy’s son-in-law, who was ban- ished in 1834. The throne has ordered his return to exile. THE WAR IN What Tourists From Corea Say—A Diplomat Criticised. VANCOUVER, B. C., September 13.— Tourists arriving on the Empress of China were in Corea about three weeks ago and came right through the battle ground of the oriental nations on a Japanese steamer. Mr. Lee denied that there had been any fight of consequence at Asan, “The Japanese,” he said, “are encamped on one side of the river and the Chinese on the other. Periodically all day long while he was there they were dofling, their hats to each other with mock politeness and ex- changing sarcastic compliments and saluta- tions. There had been but one little skir- mish. The Chinese wanted to improve their position and the Japanese resented it, wounding a number of Chinese and chasing them away. There was no one killed.” As far as he heard, at sea the Chinese had the best of it. Most of the fighting.had taken place on the water. He saw one Japanese steamer have her decks ‘stwept clean.’ A Chinese and Japanese wan-of-war had met off Seoul and the Chinese had run up the white flag. This the Japanese’ took ‘for a flag of truce or surrender and sailed up within a few yards of the Chinese, when the latter let fly her whole cannonade broadside ani disubled the Japanese vessel at the first volley, but as the Chinese were proceeding to take the disabled boat in tow two Japanese men-of-war hove in sight and the Chinese skipped. The papers are not allowed to publish the accounts of the bat- tles, but one can hear all about them from other sources.” Corean Minister Here Criticised. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., September 13.— Pom-K-Seh, a young nobleman of Corea, who for eight years has been exiled from his country, is in the city, bound home at the request of the King of Corea, who de- sires his counsel and gcad offices during the war. Mr. Soh has many thrilling experiences. He has been over thirty times sentenced to death. Kim-Ok-Kinn, with whom he fled to Japan originally, was murdered by hired as- sassins sent from Corea not long ago. Pom-K-Soh was attached to the Corean embassy in Washington in 1884. A year later his party was overthrown, and he was recalled with Kinn. They had not been long at home until their enemies began to harass them, and, finally, Soh and Kinn fled the country, escaping death by the merest chance, while many other compan- ions were murdered. They went to Japan, where Kinn was re- cently assassinated. Soh returned to this country, entered Rutger’s College, where he remained two years. Since then he has oc- cupied various positions, and a few days ago ie King of Corea sent him a cablegram king him to come home. Pom-K-Soh says Yesung Soo, the minister of Corea now here, is a man ill-qualified for the place. “His close friendliness with the represen- tatives of the Chinese government in Wash- ington,” said he, “has excited the wonder of ell other foreign representatives there. The minister knows that he cannot remain in office if the independents continue to tri- umph in Corea, and he wants to go home. But he cannot do that without the consent of the Corean government, which he has not had. That is the reason more than sickness that he has been postponing his trip. The proper place for him is in Washington, at- tending to the business of his country. But he fears that he will be dismissed. He does not want that, but would rather resign. Other Countrics May Be Involved. “If this war continues, Russia will es- Pouse the cause of Japan. Japan, be it un- derstood, is not fighting for conquest, but for the spread of western civilization. This 1s what China is fighting against. Should Russia be drawn in the fray, I anticipate that England will aid China. Then France will aid Ruseja, and Japan and Corea. I do not think Germany or any other country will aid England, and I am satisfied that we will conquer in the end.” * A Report Corrected. LONDON, September 13.—Im regard to the sensational stories circulated by a news agency, Sir Halliday Macartney, council- lor of the Chinese embassy here, has writ- ten a letter, saying there {s no foundation whatever for the reports of disorderly con- duct by the Chinese troops, so “wantonly and assiduously circulated.” He asserts that there has never been a moment's uneasiness either among the for- eign or the native population on account of the conduct of the viceroy’s soldiers. CHEERING THE KAISER. iE BAST. German Warships Inspected and Re- viewed by His Majesty. SWINEMUNDS, Germany, Septemier 13. Emperor William arrived here this“\norn- ing from Schlobitten. His majesty was ac- corded an enthusiastic reception. He board- ed the imperial yacht Hohenzollern and in- spected the fleet, which saluted the em- peror in the customary manner. The war- ships were in double line, and their crews cheered as the Hohenzollern steamed slowly between the lines. Later the Hohenzollern took up a position for the emperor to re- view the fleet, and all the warships steamed past the imperial yacht in single line. PARIS, September 13.—L'Autorite says that the Emperor of Germany is trying to organize a conference of the powers, with | a view of bringing about a general dis- armament. BERLIN, September 13.—During Em- peror William’s visit to Marienburg red posters bearing the words, ‘“‘Down with the emperor and the monarchy,” were found displayed in various parts of the town. ‘The police have no clue to the identity of the persons who displayed the posters. Rioting in India. BOMBAY, September 13.—A riot occurred at midnight last night near the Daravala bridge, Poonah City. Some Mohamedans who were listening § the, reading of.the Koran in a mosque-neag, the bridge ob- jected to the music af a ion of Hin- doos. The latter, howevey, persisted, and the Mchamedans raiged a war cry. A fight lasting three hours followéd, during which it was estimated that about 4,000 people, mostly Hindoos, pouféd tdthe scene, im or- der to take part in the con@ict. The mosque was sacked, and an attempt was made to destroy it by fire. _ During the fight ore mahi was killed and many were more or Wss severely “injured. —- 5 Convicted of Slave Dealing. CAIRO, Septembercl3.—Ali Cheriff,-presi- dent of the legislative council, and Hassan Waccyf, a retired generat of the Egyptian army, who were arrested August 28, charg- ed with purchasing slave girls recently brought here from Waday,-have been con- victed after a thorough judicial investiga- tion into the case. As already cabled, Sharawi Pacha, who was charged with the same offense, ab- sconded. Loss by Fire of a Million. LONDON, September 13.—The fire last night near the leather market, Bermond- sey, 8. E., by which the stores of Marget- son & Co., John Dixcn & Sons, and Boucher & Taylor, leather dealers, were destroyed, was not extinguished until the flames had consumed £250,000 worth of property. Terrible Storms in Spain. MADRID, Septembe:> 13.—The southwest and Mediterranean towns of Spain have been visited by severe storms. The towns of Gata and Javea have been flooded, many lives have been lost, a number of houses have been destroyed, and several vessels in the bay of Gata have been wrecked. Damage by Flood at Lucknow. LONDON, September 13.—A dispatch to the Times from Calcutta says that the highest flood ever recorded in that district is now causing much damage at Lucknow, wage a large portion of the city is inun- ti Li dating the Baring Debt. LONWVON, September 13.—The governors of the Bank of England, at their half-yearly meeting today, declared a dividend of 4 per cent. The reason for this reduction 1s a decrease in profits, said to be due to the unprecedented increase in the reserve and the low value of money. Since February 28, the net result of the Baring liquidation has been a reduction of £1,075,000, making the Mability £2,481,085, and the debt due the bank £2,400,000, The outlook for further progress in the liquidation is so favorable that it is believed that no loss will fall upon the guarantors. ———_ CHARGE OF DISCRIMINATION. What is Said on Behalf of the Rock Creck Railway Company. The Rock Creek Railway Company, as stated in yesterday's Star, has been cited by the interstate commerce commission te explain certain matters made the subject of complaint to tke commission by Mr. Charles M. Willson. The principal allega- tens made by Mr. Willson were that there was through a system of commutation tick- ets a diserimination made in favor of the guests at the Chevy Chase Hotei and others in that neighborhood, and a discrimination against colored people. Me. Claude, the su- perintendent of theffRo¢k Creek Railroad Company, today explaingd the matter to a Star reporter. He seid shat his company did not issue the congmutg¢ion tickets refer" red to in Mr. Willson’s compiaint. The tickets, he sitd, wefe purchased from the Rock Creek Rdilwa¥ by the Chevy Chase Land Company and issued by the land company to cheir patrons. The Rock \Creek Ratlway Company was paid full rates for the tickets, and; after they were pur-p Bre oll ehased by the Chevy; Chase Land Company it was no concern of theirs whether they were sold for half their cest or given away. The Rock creek company, he said, did sell a regular commutation. bool to persons Hving along its line, but there was no discrimina- tion made in selling these books. There Was no discrimination between white or black or between residents on any portion of the line; all had, to pay the same. Through an inedvertence, because his complaint was based in part on alleged dis- crimination made by the Rock Creek Rail- road Company on account of color, Chas. M, Willson, the complainant, was referred to yesterday as a colored citizen. Mr. Will- sen is not a colored man. —— THE LATE CAPT. HITCHCOCK. Funeral Services Held Today at His Late Residence.

Celebrated Yesterday by the Balti- more Guards at M: all Hall. The 12th of September is a memorable date, being the anniversary of the battle of North Point, and ts annually celebrated by a trip to Marshall Hall by the Baltimore City Guards’ Association. This year about sixty members and their families and friends made the excursion, coming over. on a special train from Baltimore and completing the pilgrimage to the Hall and Mt. Vernon by bout. The annual target match was shot, as usual, in the fore- noon. The first prize, an elaborate medal presented by W. 8. Roose of this city, was won by Paymaster Emil Heydenrich. The second prize is the famous punch bowl captured from the Yankee Sullivan prize fight in 1849 by the Itimore Independent Greys. This will beicheld' during the year ‘by Capt. O. C. Lillybridge. P.

In the sult for divyarce filed by Catherine F. against Walter {b. Caddington on the 13th of last month the defendant today filed his answer. Hé dehies that he ever abused or maltreate} his_wife, but asserts that she assaulted him a number of times. Previous to August of last year he states that Mrs. Caddington .was a devoted and loving wife, but about that time one Geo. Johnson became, against the defendant's wishes, an inmate of their home, being furnished room and board. With the ad- vent of Mr. Johnson, says Mr. C2ddington, his wife's change of conduct and deport- ment became marked. Finally, explains Mr. Caddington, he was informed by Mrs. Caddington that she loved the stranger, and that if he (Caddington) put Johnson out of the house she would put him out. Mr. Caddington states that his wife left him, leaving because he would not consent to her going down the river with a young man. He states that he is willing to provide for her, even though she threatened, he alleges, to poison him if he drove Johnson out of the house, if she will but mend her ways, forsake other men, and give the children proper care and attention. FUNCTIONS OF BANKS Their Place and Importance in the Community. ADDRESS OF CONTROLLER J. H. ECKELS, Remarks Before the Michigan State Bankers’ Association. SPENCER O. FISHER TALKS BAY CITY, Mich., September 13.—At the annual convention of the Michigan State Bankers’ Association today the president, Spencer O. Fisher, democratic candidate for governor, presided. His annual address was devoted to the subject of “Increase of Circulating Medium.” He strongly advo- cated free coinage of silver, and opposed the monopoly issue of national banks, hold- ing that the government should issue all money. The event of the day’s session was the address of Mr. James H. Eckeis, controller of the currency, which was delivered this morning. Controller Eckels’ Address. Controller Eckels prefaced his speech by congratulating the citizens of Michigan up- on the fact that despite the panic of the past year, the unprecedented withdrawal of deposits, the continued depression of busi- ness and the almost complete cessation of manufacturing industries, but four of their state banking institutions had proved un- able to maintain their solvency, which was a striking testimony to the wisdom of con- ducting banking operations upon safe prin- ciples and along legitimate lines. Mr. Eckels referred at_some iength to the far-reaching importance of banking busi- ness; its commanding position in the finan- clal and commercial world; its necessity to the country as the sSreatest source of busi- ness activity, and to the judgment and in- tegrity so essential to its successful man- agement. “Never,” he continued, “was the impor- tance of the bank so exemplified as during the distresses of 1803. The severest strain of the unwise silver legislation of 1800 fell in the first instance upon the banks of the country, causing depietion of deposits and necessitating reductions of loans and dis- ‘ounts to meet the demand: § ‘These conditions flected tn tin lines of commerce, in stagnation of busines: and suspension of industries, for in depriv ing the banks of their resources the people took from them the means heretofore avail- able for purposes of business.

Your distinguished citizen and jurist, Judge Cooley, sums it all up in these words: ‘Such were the fruits of the experiment of giving equal and practically unlimited rights in banking to everybody who wanted a shorter road to wealth than that trodden by labor and industry. The new state un- der the bold but inexperienced guidance of its youthful governor, disdaining the les- sons of history, had determined to try for itself the experiment of manufacturing money by the printing press.

How Policeman Doyle Was Accident- ally Wounded This Morning. Policeman R. E. Doyle of the eighth pre- cinct will not be able to perform his ac- customed duties for a fortnight to come, owing to an accident which happened to him this morning. The officer went on duty at midnight and came off at 6 a.m. After attending roll call he engaged in a friendly scufie with Officer Kennedy. The two walked to the corner of 9th and U streets, a short distance from the station, and in parting Doyle playful.y struck Kennedy and then jumped out of reach of the latter. In doing so his revolver dropped from a rear pecket to the pavement. The fall dis- charged the weapon and a bullet pierced the calf of Policeman Doyle's right leg. The injured man bravely boarded a street car and rode to the Emergency Hospital, where Dr. Bell dressed the wounl. Then he vent to his home, 913 Florida avenue, un- attended. Later he was taken to Garfield Hospital, where Police Surgecn Cannon looked after him. The officer is remarkably cheerful under the circumstances. He claims that he is able to walk, and that he will return to duty within ten days. Policeman Doyle has been connected with the n-etropolitan police for five years. He was formerly station keeper of the 9th pre- cinct, but was transferred to the active fcrce of the eighth precinct. His father was Officer F. M. Doyle, who was shot and in- stantly killed by Mrs. Shea of South Wash- ington in 1871. _—__ PUGILISTIC JOHN SHERMAN. A Negro of That Name Goes to Jail for ‘Twelve Months, Alexander Hamilton was the defendant in a case in the Police Court yesterday. George Washington frequently drops in for a few days’ sentence, and the visits of Thomas Jefferson are by no means few and far between. Today another famous name wae called by Clerk Potts.

She was a sight when he got through pounding her. One eye was completely closed, she was bleeding pro- fusely and she would have been biack and blue all over—had it been possible. ‘John's thirst for fighting was anything but slaked when Officer Horton took him ito cus- tody. At 9:10 o'clock Mr. Horton got his bands on him and it was just forty min- utes later when he got him into the patrol wagon. During this iime there were ten 4-minute rounds of sharp fighting, without any intermission. Sometimes it ‘Was the officer and John and sometimes it was John and the officer. The latter’s coat and trousers were torn, his badge was pulled off and there were few parts of his anetomy that had not been either struck or_ kicked. * But, as usual, the officer got the best of it in the end and by 10 o'clock the Ohio Senator's namesake was behind the bars. He lied like a good one in the Police Court this morning and told a pitiful story of the ill-treatment ne had recelved—a story that did not at all harmonize with his general | appearance. The police of East Washing- ton will have one nuisance off their hands at least until September, 1895, for Judge Kimball sent Sherman to jail for six months for his assault on the Johnson girl and six months more for his assault on the officer.

Mary Hancock, who claims to be a re- spectable resident of Georgetown, with two small children dependent upon her labors as a dressmaker, and with an old mother sick in bed, was before Judge Kimball this morning on the charge of vagrancy. She said that she was in South Washington last night to see a lady about making her a black henrietta cloth dress. This story was quite different from the one told by Officer Hartigan. Mr. Hartigan was detailed last evening to walk the neighborhood of Missouri avenue on the lookout for the women who some- times infest that section of the city. He was in citizen’s clothes, and while he was waiking along a seciuded part of the street Mary came up to him and began a conver- sation by asxing him what ume it w Then she said a number of things that no real lady would ever say to a stranger. When the officer pulied back his coat and showed his badge she was probably the most surprised woman ia all South Wash- ington. in <he Police Court thie moraing Mrs. Hancock admitted that she was sometimes known as Mrs. McLean. She explataed this mistake by saying that people used to think she was married to a man by that rame with whom she used to live. She had plenty of other explanations to offer for her con- duct. She is slighty deaf, she said, and as she could not quite understand what Mr. Hartigan was saying she supposed he was talking about dressmaking, and was giving him her prices for tailor-made gowns. But Mary was in hard luck, for of all the policemen who were waiting for their cases to come up quite half knew of her past life, and each had a bad account to give of her by the one name or the other. Mary will have an opportunity to study the fall styles at the workhouse for the next two months. od PICTURES FOR SCHOOLS. Patriotic Work Undertaken by the Sons of the American Revolution. The first meeting of this season of the board of management of the District of Columbia Society of the Sons of the Amer- ican Revolution was held last evening at the society’s headquarters in the Glover building, No. 1419 F street. The board transacted a large amount of business, which had accumulated during the summer months, when no meetings were held, and the initiatory steps were taken for an ac- tive and interesting campaign for the com- ing season, after the members have again returned to the city. Applications for membership were re- ceived from the following descendants of revolutionary ancestors: Joseph Henry Hawley, great grandson of John Hawiey of Connecticut; Wm, Eleroy Curtis, great gran of Felix Curtis of Connecticut; Charles Edward Vere Kennon, great grand- son of Asaph Hall of Connecticut Resolutions were passed directing the pur- chase of a copy of the engraving of Gen. Geo. Washington from the famous portrait by Stuart, the same to be suitably framed and presented to the Central High School of this city. This is in pursuance to simi- lar action on the part of the societies of the Sons of the American Revolution in various states, and is the first of a number of pictures to be presented to the various public school buildings in this city by the society. A proposition was made that the society shall celebrate the anniversary of the sur- render of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, on the 19th of October, either by a pilgrimage to Yorktown, with appropriate ceremonies at that place, or otherwise. The committee on meetings was direcied to report at an adjourned meeting of the board, to be held on the 19th instant as to the feasibility of such an outing and whether suitable ar- rangements for the transportation and ac- commodation of the members of the soci- ety and its friends can be made. —_— — Metropolitan Outing Club at Arling- t The Epworth League of the Metropolitan M.
