THE CITY THE JAPANESE CAPTURED Ping-Yang’s Picturesque Situation and Its Advantages for Defense. From the New York Sun. Foreigners who have visited Corea say that Ping-Yang is one of the most pictur- esque cities of the land of the morning calm. It is a walled city on the northern bank of the Tatong. It is the principal town in the great northwestern province of Ping-an. The province is one of the largest if not the largest in Corea. It is very mountainous and in large part covered with dense forests. It is cut by two rivers, the Ta-tong and the Chong-gang, whose gen- eral course is from northeast to southwest. The Yalu river, by far the greatest with which the Coreans have to do, forms the northwest boundary of the province and of Corea. Between these three streams, which run in rocky and thinly inhabited valleys, are high mountain chains, some of whose peaks reach an altitude of 7,000 and 8,000 feet. Travel across country is extremely slow and difficult. Before the invention of firearms, Ping Yang was considered a great stronghold. It could only be approached by the mountain passes or from the sea. The former could be guarded by a few forts and garrisons, while the latter was defended by a power- ful navy. It was this state of affairs which prompted the cid Mongolian kings to make it their capital, long before the Christian era. Funnily enough, it is still supposed to be guarded by a powerful navy, but it is only upon paper. The official blue book of the King of Corea gives a navy list of 300 war- sbips with 3,000 naval officers, ranging from admirals down to lieutenants. One squad- ron of thirty, with some 350 officers, is set aside for the defense of Ping-Yang and its adjacent cities, with headquarters in the Bay of Ta-Tong. As a matter of fact, the 300 ships and the Ping-Yang squadron exist only on paper. Corea does not possess one warship, though she owns a few merchant- men which carry tribute and rice to Che- mulpo, In Ping-an-do, or the province of Ping-an, there are forty-two towns, of which nearly all e either on the seacoast or on the banks of the three rivers described and their affluents. The Chinese fugitives from the battle in which the Japanese have been the victors, and who must be some 4,000 or 19,000 in number, are now making their way northward, in the hope of reaching the Yalu river, which is the boundary between Corea and their own country, and crossing it into the imperial district of Liautang. Those that have gone westward toward the sea, and thence along the coast to the north, stand a fair chance of reaching their destination. In the late battle the Chinese had the ad- vantage of the ground, the walls of the old city, and of earthworks which they them- selves constructed, and it is a wonderful evidence of the military superiority of the Japanese that ihey were able to overcome these advantages with such apparent ease. The ground is rising and rocky, and con- sists largely of boulders and broken rock which have been dislodged from the moun- tains and brought down by water, ice, or glaciers. It serves splendidly as ramparts for defense and prevents any massed at- tack by infantry or cavalry. The city walls are made of stone, brick, and tile laid in cement. They were high and strong cen- turies ago, but today are dilapidated and half broken down at numerous points. They would serve materially as a protection against bullets, but wor be no defense whatever against the lightest artillery. In fact, they wculd increase its efficiency. A single shot would sweep away several square yards of surface of wall and brutse or wound every person in the immediate neighborhood. What few earthworks there were must have been erected by the de- tachment of Li Hung Chang's army, which alone stood its ground and was cut to pieces by the victors. These men have been thor- oughly drilled by European officers, and had, among other things, a course of train- ing in raising earthworks according to the latest German system. The Chinese them- selves seldom indulge in this kind of de- fense. They like to dig oniy to make mines or eise to turn a water course upon an enemy, ——<oo—2_—___ THE SUGAR BOUNTY. Ex-Senator Edmunds Does } With Secretary Carlisle. Ex-Senator Edmunds of Vermont is au- thority for the statement that every cent of sugar bounty due under the McKinley law is collectible, notwithstanding the repeal of that law by the Wilson bill, and that this bounty can be recovered in U d States courts. He says that Secretary Cariisle’s action in refusing to pay the bounty on the crop of 1894 which had been accepted by the government cannot be justified in law or equity, He claims that ‘the ar pro- ducers of Vermont especially have a valid claim against the government amounting to about $60,000 for legally earned bounties on sugar produced between March 1 and May 1 last.

Information of the official degradation of Viceroy Li Hung Chang has come to the State Department in a dispatch from Mr. Charles Denby, the United States charge Waffaires at Pekin. It was to the effect that the Emperor of China had deprived the viceroy of two of his decorations for his failure to properly conduct the military operations, and stated further that he would probably be subject to still greater punish- ment. No mention is made of the specific decorations taken from the statesman or of the time of its occurrence. Mr. Denby's dispatch made no mention of the recent great battle at Ping Yang, near the Corean border. ——-2—___. Civil Service Information. The civil service commissioners desire to have it known that they alone are author- ized to furnish information regurding the scope and character of the various exami- nations held by the commission,and that this information will be furnished vpon applica- tion at the office of the bureau without charge. The commissioners say that no other persons are authorized to furnish this in- formation, and that there is no occasion for candidates to pay for it. —_—__—_-.s= Diminut ot Yellow Fever. ‘The marine hospital service has reports of a marked diminution of yellow fever and smallpox at Cienfuegos, Cuba, witch has been a danger point of yellow fever contagion for some time past. There were twenty deaths from yellow fever and fifty-five new cases at Havana last week. RIVER FLAT CLAIMS The First Case on the Court of Ap- peals Calendar. a QUESTION OF JURISDICTION The Various Defendants and the Extent of Their Claims. YEARS OF PREPARATION THE The first case on the calendar of the Court of Appeals, which court resumes its sessions tomorrow, is that of the United States against Martin F. Morris and others. The first-named defendant is Mr. Justice | Morris, an associate justice of the tribunal before which the case is pending, and the case 1s more famillarly known as “the Kidwell’s Bottoms suit.” It has been pend- ing, first in the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict and, since the organization of the Court of Appeals, in that court for nearly eight years. Technically speaking, the case is an equity proceeding, instituted by the At- torney General on behalf of the United States, to establish the title and right of the United States to the land and waters included in the improvement of the Poto- mac river and its flats opposite and adja- cent to this city, extending from about Easby's Point to the junction of the chan- nels of the Potomac and the Eastern branch, Invovling nearly 800 acres. Prior to the year 1886 there had been numerous claimants .o the lands and waters, and in that year Congress passed an act directing that the above-named sult be filed. Marshall and Kidwell Claims. Originally the suit was against Judge Morris, who represented the Kidwell heirs, and some forty-nine other parties, but that Ust of defendants has since been increased by the appearance of numerous other claimants. There have been filed some fifty answers to the government's bill, in whick the various claims of the alleged rights of the several defendants are set forth. First in importance, by reason of the extent of the claims made, are the an- swers of the heirs of the late chief justice of the United States, John Marshall, and the heirs of his brother James. Of them it can truly be said that they claim every- thing, both in and out of sight. They claim the entire river, from shore to shore, under a grant made by the British crown to their ancestors of what is known as the North- ern Neck of Virginia, and also under a deed to them from the heirs of the last proprietary of the province of Maryland. Even the bed of the river is claimed by them, as well as all accretions which may, by natural or artificial means, arise thereon. The next claim in importance because of its extent is that of the heirs of the late John L. Kidwell. Their claim is based on a patent granted by the United States to Mr. Kidwell in 1860. Some forty-seven acres of land in the river, it is claimed, were conveyed in the grant for the rather insignificant sum of 50 cents an acre. The land granted is supposed to be located somewhere in the river extending from about Easby’s Point down to a point about south of 21st street west. The Canal Company's Claim. The third claim in importarce, perhaps, is thac of the Cheszpeake and Ohio Canal Company, who claim under powers grant- ed to the old Potomac Compary, of which George Washington was president, for the imprevement of the Potomac river by the building of canals, waterways, etc. The compary’s line ran from Rock creek to Tiber crcek, at the foot of 17th street west. Other claimants are the lot owners in the various squares fronting the river from Easby’s Point to 17th street west, and the owners of wharves on the river from the Long bridge to the arsenal grounds. Of course, it was not until the vast improve- ments cn the river's front, made by the government, had reclaimed the partially, and cften wholly, submerged tracts that the claims, or the vast majority of them, were seriously made. To so examine into the claims of the numerous parties as to enable the government to successfully maintain its rights has required years of unceasing and tedious toil. The burden of this work has fallen on Assistant District Attor.ey Hugh T. Taggart, and the testi- mony taken in the case numbers thousands of prirted pages. Question of Jurisdiction, The case has been ready to be heard for a year or more, it is understood, but now there {s, unfortunately,a doubt as to wheth- er the Supreme Court of the District or the Court of Appeals has jurisdiction in the matter. The act authorizing the institu- tion of the sult conferred special jurisdic- tion in the former tribunal. In order to facilitate the disposition of the case it was certified by the equity branch of the court to the Court in General Term, to be heard in the first instance. In the latter, the ap- pellate branch of the District Supreme Court, the suit was pending when the Dis- trict Court of Appeals was established. By the act creating the latter tribunal it was provided that ail unaisposed of cases on the calendar of the Court in General Term should be heard and disposed of by the Court of Appeals. But as the act of 1sN6 gave the District Supreme Court special jurisdiction to hear the case, and as the act establishing the Court of Appeals did not specifically say that the former court should ne lorger retain jurisdiction of the case, the question as to which tribunal has jurisdiction has arisen. Action of Congress. It is because of this doubt, it is said, that the Court of Appeals has not yet heard the case, the parties to the sult agreeing that it would be better to first have the question definitely settled by an act of Congress, The attention of Congress has been called to the matter, and two bills have been in- troduced. One authorizes the District Su- preme Court to hear it, and the other di- rects that the Court of Appeals shall hear it, with a right of appeal in either event to the United States Supreme Court. Until Congress finally acts in the matter, it is understood that the will not be heard by the Court of Appeals. ee Purifying Sewage. From the London Chrontele. xXperiments have lately been conducted by Mr. Sidney Lowcock, M. I. C. E., of Bir- mingham, on the destruction of the highly objectionable organic matter of sewage by special bacterial life. It seems that if cul- tivations of this special bacterium are maintained in the highest state of efficlency by simply keeping them well supplied with air or oxygen, they will rapidly exhaust the organic matter in a liquid, and the ef- fluent from a filter arranged on this prin- ciple will be very pure, both chemically and dietetically. The merit of crdinary land irrigation as a method for sewage disposal depends largely on this resolution of or- ganic matter by bacteria, and no method of sewage purification approaches the etti- ciency of land irrigation where this is finan- cially practicable. The arrangement re- quired on the new system is a very simple ene, and consists of a carefully arranged sand and pebvle filter, having a row of air pipes among the lower layer of pebbles, so that air can be blown among these pebbles at a low pressure, and In a short time the pebbles become incrusted with a film of bacterial growth. This film will start itself, finding its origin in isolated bacteria al- ways present in sewag», and until this is well formed some dissolved sewage passes through, but its objectionable character becomes steadily reduced, until in about a month's time the organic matter is almost entirely removed. The purification from this point goes on uninterruptedly, and the ef- fluent is clear, tasteless and odorless. Mr. Lowcock gave the results of some large periments made by him at Malvern “3 in a paper read before the In- stitute of Civil Engineers in November last, and the Institute has recognized the value of his work by awarding him the Telford medal and premium for his paper. The rate of purification is extremely rapid. About 350,000 gallons per acre per day can be treated, and this Is one of the most im- portant features in the system, for it en- ables a very large amount of sewage to be dealt with on a comparatively small area. IN HOTEL \CORRIDORS “One needs nothing more than an occa- sional hour or so during the week with a good encyclcpaedia fo secur> a broad and liberal education,” said 4 well-known new paper man at the Riggs House last night. “This fact struck me fercibly Sunday after- noon. We have at heme a very excellent edition of a well-kncwn cncyclopaedia, and I went to it to get some information. Turning over ihe A’s, I came across Al- gebra, and found the history of the science from beginning to end; its intrcduction into Italy, and its improvement, from time to time, together with problems illustrative of its advance and powers. I came across Eu- gene Aram, too, and learned, for the first time, such a man lived and read all about him. The Alhambra caught my eye, and I fortified myself on its history, at the same time getting the concise and well digested history of the Moors in Spain, as well as if I had read all of the volumes of the Con- quest of Grenada. In this manner, I drifted here and there through a perfect storehouse of interesting things, being led from one to another as one would be in a museum where the eye no sooner leaves one attractive ob- ject than it is invited by another equally as plevsing. Consequently, what was intended to be a mement's search for a reference, be- came exterded into a healthy and refresh- ing mental repast of two or three hours, and I cannot tell how much better I felt for it. I tell you, there is nothing so specific for the relief of the intellectual monotony we call brain fag, as a journey through an encyclopaedia without having an itinerary laid down at the beginning.” “The authoritative announcement by Congressman Isador Rayner of his candi- dacy for the democratic gubernatorial nom- ination in our state makes the struggle that will now precede the convention next year €ven more interesting than anyone expect- ed,” said Isaac Shirley of Baltimore at the Ebbitt today. “The fact that Mr. Rayner is of Hebraic orizin will not hurt him as much as some people imagine, and his can- didacy will introduce a new factor in the quiet fight for the nomination, which has been waged with such earnestness by the friends of Goy. Brown and State Treasurer Spencer Jones. Gov. Brown is very wealthy and no one ever made any bones about say- ing that he bought the nomination the last time, and none of his supporters deny, when in an impolitic mood, that he can do the same thing again. Rayner, however, is a rich man, too, and many of the wealthy people who would have supported Brown’s candidacy again as against any- one else are tied to the brilliant young Baltimorean in the closest way. The strength of Treasurer Jones lies in him- self and the democratic organization. He is considered a safe man despite his close afMliation with Senator Gorman and his friends, and as clerk of the court of ap- peals won the admiration and friend- ship of many people in the _ state. When he took the state treasury it was in a pretty bad shape, but he pulled it through safely and his adminis- tration of it is widely admired. My impres- sion is that Mr. Rayner’s entrance into the contest will make Mr, Jones our next gov- ernor, and many persons in my part of Baltimore among the business men believe the same thing.” “I hardly think there is any material foundation for the story that wealthy cap- {talists are making plang to establish an immense works for the purpose of compet- ing with the Pullman céupany in the man- ufacture of pala€e and other cars, such as are turned out at the Pullman plant,” said Henry 8. March of Chiéago at the Arling- ton this morning. “I don’t believe there is a road in the country that would not wel- come a rival to the Paliman corporation, and which would not strain a point to pa- trorize such a coacerns but any new car compary started for guch'a purpose would be handicapped out of competition by a lack of facilities. The main sort of such necessities would be the patents. The Pull- man people own or control about every valuable Inveaition for adding to the com- fort, simplicity and durability of railway cars, and as long as this is so, and the raii- roads of the country keep up their suicidal fight of steady opposition to each other, just so long will the Ulineis concern monop- olize, to a great degree, the market. ‘The fight between the corporations now is not one of rates, because those are agreed upon with iron-clad contracts, but one of equip- ment and speed, and the road that sends the best passenger and freight cars over the best laid track in the shortest time Is the road that will secure public favor. Consequently, a rival enterprise that could not turn out'cars as good as the Pullman company would stand no chance, for the custem of railroads run according to the now prevailing ideas.” —-_— Exports Imports. Tables prepared at the bureau of statistics shov- that the value of the exports of do- mestic merchandise during the month of August, 1804, was $5 736, and of foreign merchandise, $1,439,510, as compared with domestic exports of $71,123,431 and foreign exports of $2,560,300 during August, 1893.

Armstrong, assistant commissioner of Indian affairs, speaking of the changes of the United States troops and the aban- donment of several military posts in the west, says that it will have no effect what- ever upon the Indians. “There will be no outbreaks as a result of the changes,” he said, “as there are still plenty of troops easily accessible to any possible point of danger. The fact is, there is little danger of Indian troubles now. We may have an oceasior al disturbance, with some depreda- tions and outrages, but they are no more likely to happen than among the white peo- ple. There is more danger. from anarchists in Chicago than from ‘ai the Indians in the west. Indian wars are a thing of the past. Some bands may snake trouble, pil- lage and rob, or something of that kind, but then the James and Younger gangs did the same, and white men still hold up trains, With the present railroad facilities troops can be transported from the large posts more quickly thaa they can march from any of the little posts that have been abandoned. So far as protecting the In- dian frontier is to be’ considered, the changes will make no difference.” + © 4--—___ Information About Mr. Moreno. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury has inform- ed Baron Fava, the Italian ambassador, that Caesar Celso Moreno has no connec- tion whatever with the immigration depart- ment of the treasury. ——_ Repairs to the Yantiec.

THE SOCIAL WORLD A Wedding This Afternoon Largely Attended. THE ROSENBUSH-BIEBER + NUPTIALS Other Weddings and Engagements of Couples Known Here. oe PERSONAL ——— SOME NOTES A wedding of much importance in the Jewish circles of Washington and Baltimore was solemnized this afternoon at 3 o'clock in Carroll Institute Hall. The contracting parties were Miss Hettie Bieber, daughter of Mr. S. Bieber of this city, and Mr. Myer Rosenbush, a merchant of Baitimore. Every detail connected with the wedding ceremony was conducted on a scale of unusual elegance. The hall was profusely Gecorated with flowers and potted plants, with birds in cages hung amid the foliage. An orchestra was on the stage, while just in front of it was erected an artistic arch- way of flowers, beneath which the mar- riage ceremony was performed. The hall was almost crowded with the scores of relatives and friends of the con- tracting parties when the wedding proces- sion entered. It was headed by the ushe! Mr. Louis Schloss, Mr. Alexander Gross and Mr. Sol. Kirschheimer of Baltimore, Mr. Simon Netter of Philadelphia,Mr. Harry Kaufman, a cousin of the bride, and Mr. Sidney Bieber, the bride’s brother. Next walked Mr. and Mrs. Bieber, the bride's parents, and Mr. and Mrs. S. Rosenbush, parents of the groom. The bridal couple brought up the rear. The party formed under the floral archway, where Rabbi Stern pronounced the two man and wife according to the Jewish ritual. The brile was attired in a gown of white moire antique, trimmed with duchess lace. end wore diamond ornaments. In her hai were Itlies of the valley, and she carried a bouquet of bride’s roses. Mrs. Bieber, the Lride’s mother, was attired in black velvet, with duchess lace and diamonds. Mrs. B. Gans, grandmother of the bride, wore black satin and pearls; Miss Wallie Bieber of Indianapclis, white satin and gold braid; Miss Bertha Bieber, wh‘te silk and crysan- themums; Mra. S. Rosenthal, the groom’s mother, black brocade and black lace. The family dinner, served in elaborate style, followed the ceremony. A reception to friends wilt be held at the hall from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clcck this evening, and dancing is to continue until midnight. Mr. Isaac Gans is to pose as master of cere- monies. Mr. and Mrs. Rosenbush will leave for Baltimore tonight, where they board a steamer for Boston. After visits to Niagara Falls, New York and Phila- delphia they will return to Baltimore and take possession of a new home on Harlem square, which has been elegantly furnished throughout by the rejatives of the groom. During the afternoon congratulatory tele- grams were received in large numbers.

The Pazis hot-water machines would be a boon to some oil-stove summer hcuse- keepers in New York aod Brooklyn, or even a greater boon to those who do not even seek the resources of the oil stove. They are automatic, and, by dropping a half penny in the slot, eight liters of hot water— about seven quarts—are on tap.

It has been demon strated beyond cavil that the care and philanthropy shown to the ignorant poor by the intelligent rich is a boomerang that reacts promptly, but beneficently, upon these that aim it. DRINKING WATER FOR SCHOOLS. The order of the District Commissioners issued some time ago to the effect that every well in the District should be ex- amined and chemical analyses made to de- termine the fitness of the water for drink. ing purposes is already beginning to have a Sood effect. Now that the public school have opened for the fall term, it was real- ized that the matter of the water supply for the school children was of the greatest importance, and a special investigation has been made of all the wells that are used by the various schools in the District. The matter has just come to a head, in the form of a report from the health officer to the Commissioners, giving the results of the Investigation in all cases. On the strength of this report the Commissioners today ordered Secretary Tindall to for- ward a copy of the following letter to the superintendent and the members of the board of trustees of the public schools: “Iam directed to invite your attention to the fact that an official analysis of the wells on the grounds occupied by public school buildings shows that the water used at the following named schools is good, viz.: Benning (white), Brightwood (white and colored), Brookland, Hamilton road (color- ed), Mt. Pleasant. (Grant street), Monroe School and Soldiers’ Home; that the water used at Benning road (colored), Giesboro and Grant road, in Tenleytown, (colored), is gcod, but the welts should be cleaned; the water used by the. schools. at Tenley- town (white), Bladensburg road, and Trumbull streets ( School ts unit for drinking pense eve sun! matter has been referred "a ‘ Oat Ss btenaad tee aes Regence is intended that the inf - tained in this letter shall tbe Turnixhed to" the supervising principals of a! che schools affected, and that senses a @re to govern them- -—.— tion, published a can in the London Stand- ard of September 6, as follows: “It is not true, as was some time ago re- Ported in the newspapers, that Mr. Well- man, leader of the Wellman polar expedi- tion, left me alone at Dane's Island against my wishes.
