I do not know the coast.” From all he had read of the facts,however, and being a thorough believer in Capt. Ma- han’s sound judgment and great naval skill, he was with the captain of the opinion that the evil of land hugging had cavsed the in- evitable results, which in this case had proved most disastrous. A great mistake, he thought, had been made in having in Chen Yuen the burbette instead of the guns in echelon, which would have saved a gun ship from being reduced to the level of a small cruiser. Admiral Gherardi agrees with others that small cruisers are more effectual than big battle ships, and as il- lustrating this had noted how much better the smaller ships had fared than their larger colleagues. In conclusion, the rear admiral again re- marked: “Yes; it 1s quite true the praises of one of cur navy commanders have been again loud- ly sung in London. but not for the first time cr undeservedly, either.” Concise and Comprehensive. The New York Herald's, European tion publishes the following from its respondent: SHANGHAI, September 21, 1894.—The true report of the naval battle off the mouth of the Yalu river is as follows: ‘There were eleven Japanese and fourteen Chinese war ships with six torpedo boats engaged. edi- cor- losses in ships were the Yang-Wel, 1,350 tons; the Chao-Yung, 1,350 tons, and the Lai-Yuen, 2,300 tons. These were sunk by the Japanese. The flagship Ting-Yuen, 7,200 tons, sis- ter ship to the Chen-Yuen, and King-Yuen, 2,900 tons, and the Ping-Yuen caught fire. Five of the rest were damaged. Of the Japanese fleet the Akagi, an unar- mored vessel of 622 tons; the Matsusima, a deck protected cruiser of 4,278 tons, and the Hijei, an armor-clad of 2,254 tons, were damaged. Nine Japanese officers and thirty men were killed and 160 were wounded. Japanese Reinforcements Corea. ‘A dispatch to the Times from Chemulpo, Corea, dated September 16, says that thirty- two Japanese transperts, convoyed by a fleet of the watships of Japan, have ar- rived at that port bringing reinforcements. ‘The latter, the dispatch adds, consists of 7,000 soldiers and 3,000 coolies, with 2,000 pack horses, several pontoon bridges and batteries of mountain guns. The reinforce- ments were hurried forward to Seoul, the capital of Cerea, where, it is said, an at- tack upon the part of the Chinese is ex- pected. Chinese May Attack. A special dispatch received here from Shanghai today says that it is rumored there that the Chinese southern fleet is on its way north, and that it will take ad- vantage of the alleged helpless condition of the Japanese fleet and make an attack upon some prominent Japanese port. A mercantile firm of this city has re- ceived a dispatch from Yokohama asking that representations be made to the British government which will result in sending a gunboat to protect the British residents, whose lives are reported to be in danger. It is announced that the government has decided to increase the number of British vessels on the China station, and with this object in view the first-class twin-screw cruiser Gibraltar, 7,700 tons, 10,000 horse power, and carrying twelve guns, will be immediately commissioned. a ODD FELLOWS ADJOURN.

Political Sensation of the Hour—Is It a Stepping Stone to Senator Gor- man’s Seat?—President’s Friend. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., September 22.—The an- nouncement that Mr. John K. Cowen, gen- eral counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio Rallroad Company, will accept the demo- cratic nomination for Congress in the fourth district, now represented by Mr. Isidor Rayner, {s the political sensation of the hour here, For more than twelve years Mr. Cowen has been the most uncompromising enemy of Senator Gorman end the state and city machines in Maryland. The newspapers during that period have contained dozens of columns of his speeches, delivered dur- ing campaigns, in which he denounced in most scathing and vigorous terms the acts of the politicians, especially denounced Senator Gorman, Mr. Rasin, Mr. Quinn and other prominent politicians, and accus2d them of all sorts of crimes against good government. Time and again he has trav- ersed the state as an independent ally of the republicans, fighting the state democ- tacy, and for years he was head, front and brains of every independent movement in Baltimore. All this is now to be forgiven if not for- gotten, and today some of the very men whom Mr. Cowen has denounced as re- peaters and ballot-box stuffers, are hurrah- ing for him because the word has gone out from Mr. Rasin to “shout for Cowen,” and they are doing it with a vim never before surpassed. All other candidates have been ordered out of the race without ceremony. Mr. Cowen is a pronounced free trader— he is not a tariff reformer in any sense of the word, unless to adopt out-and-out free trade is tariff reform. He does not believe in tariffs in the American acceptation of the term, but would abo! them. -If he is elected he will add another to the in- teresting people in Washington, and will probably take nearly the same position on the democratic side that Mr. Reed occupies among the republicans—for Mr. Cowen re- sembles the famous republican ex-Speaker in many ways. Mr. Cowen is the most vigorous and pic- turesque speaker the state has had for many years. He is not only vigorous and picturesque, but he is interesting and logi- cal. He uses short and e1 te words, He has at various times paid his respects to every politiclan in Maryland, from. Senator Gorman down to the humblest repeater and ward rounder, and he has not minced his words nor been sparing of his epithets. While Mr. Cowen has made an alliance with the city politicians, his closest friends say he tis still uncompromising in. his- hos- tility to Senator Gorman. Indeed, not a few well-informed people assert that -his going to Congress is to be the stepping stone to Mr. Gorman’s seat in the Senate, and that the alliance now formed bodes no good to the senior Senator, but, on ‘the con- trary, Indicates that the final break has taken place between him and the city lead- ers. Another matter now discussed in this connection is that Mr. Cowen and Presi- dent Cleveland are very close personal friends. It is known that when the railway attorney calls at the White House, no mat- ter who is waiting, Mr. Cowen gets in first and remains as long as he likes. The President is said to be the real cause of the new deal, and to have urged Mr. Cowen to take the nomination, and also to have urged the city “boss,” Mr. .Ras'., to nomi- | nate him. Col.

Thomas, attorney ‘for the Dis- trict, today submitted to the Commission- ers the drafts of two proposed bills to be in- trodyced at the coming session of Congress giving the Commissioners increased au- thority in the care of vacant lots in the city. The first is to amend an act which authorizes the Commissioners to make po- lice regulations for the government of the District and empowers tnem to “make and enforce usual and reasonable police regula- tions, in and for said District, in regard to vpimproved lots of land fronting on im- proved strects, avenues, Teservations and public squares in the District of Columbia, as may be necessary for the public health.” ‘The second proposed measure is intended to compel owners of vacant lots fronting on improved streets, &c., to keep the same free from weeds and to cause them to be re- moved whenever in the judgment of the health officer it is necessary to do so in the interest of public health.

Later he se- cured a position in the pension office and traveled throughout the country as a special examiner until about a year ago. Mr. Foss has been acquainted with him for about twenty years. Davis called upon Mr, Foss two weeks ago and asked him to indorse a draft to hi order for fifty dollars, signed by C. D. Hay wood. Mr. Fors hesitated, but finally in- dorsed the draft, and the next he heard from it was in a communication from Riggs %€ Co., bankers, informing him that the pa- per was a forgery.

GLASSCOCK DIVORCE Senator Stewart Files a Statement in Court Today. Boies: 2 Li, RAEN HE WANTS THE SUIT DISMISSED He Says It is a Plain Case of Con- spiracy. AFFIDAVITS SUBMITTED ep Set oS Affidavits and letters were filed today in the Supreme Court of the District of Co- lumbia in the divorcee case of Glasscocl against Glasscock, on behalf of Senator Stewart, in support of a suggestion to the court that the casé ought to be dismissed on,the ground thgt it,is not brought in good faith, that the pagties are in collusion and that the alleged offense is condoned by their continu cohabitation and that the object is not divorce, but extortion and blackmail. b ‘ ‘The papers are very yoluminous, covering thirty-five typewritten pages. Some of the matter is of such a scandalous and obscene It embodies the statements of. detectives, po- lice officers, vsieg the attendants of the Senator's private ' and offices, neigh- bors of the Glasseock# and a number of Mrs. Glasscock’s létters’to the Senator. The first papers give the Senator's letters to Campbell Carrington, attorney for Mr. Glasscock, wherein the Senator gives the circumstances already ‘published of Mrs. Glasscock’s importuning him. The letter closes with the assurance that there has been no improper relations with the woman. Glasscock Was Tempted to Shoot. A letter from Glasscock to the Senator is next given. It declares that the Senator has destroyed his home and happiness, “I have had a thousand impulses,” it contin- ues, “to shoot you down on sight like a do; ‘That is the punishment you deserve.” But Glasscock continues that he will not become a murderer for a worthless woman. He declares that he does not want any of the Senator's money, but seeks only a di- vorce. Affidavits of M. C. Morris, formerly chief of police of Roanoke, Wm. E. Schauck, a policeman there, recite that in 1svl_ the Glasscocks lived there, and that the husband had the wife arrested for base conduct and soliciting men in the street. The officers tell of the dramatic court scene in which Mrs. Glasscock swooned when accused by her husband. The case was dismissed on the ground, as the officers swear, that the court thought them to be impos‘ors. The court recoras have myster- iously disappeared, William R. Abell of Washington makes an affidavit with such indecent particulars that only the substance can be given. It recites how he and a friend flirted with Mrs. Glasscock and another woman, Mrs. Lease, on the street, and afterward ac- companied them about. Mr. Peters met them on one occasion and made a scene. Abell tells in detail of calling at Mrs. Glassecek’s house and remaining until morning. The friend who was with Abell when they first met the woman verifies the statements. Charles F. Lease, a veighbor of the Glass- cocks, tells of the men visiting Mrs. Glass- cock at night. He also tells of the dra- matic scene in which he met his wife and Mrs. Glasscock with two men and accused them. The affidavit récites some alleged lan- guage of Mrs. Glasscock of an extremely, immoral nature. H. C. Easterday, a druggist, tells in an affidavit of letters passing between Mrs. Glasscock and the druggist’s clerk, in which she asked for money, because, as the clerk related, she was in trouble as a result of their intimacy. Letters From Mrs, Glasscock. A letter from Mrs. Glasseock to the Sena- tor, written on Hovse of Representatives’ stationery, is then given. It says that the husband has begun divorce proceedings; that she finds “we have been: caught up with” and that she does not know how he has gotten hold of anything. It adds: “Now, I think you should attend to the matter right away.” “I intended telling you this morning, but thought the matter over, I feel it would not do to comprognise you any more than possible, «nd for fear | was watched again would use the medium of the mail, to find out your knowledge of It, and beg, or rather say you must conle to My aid immediately, for you gct me in it by. having me come so often to see you.” The letter continues to recite the misery of the Glasscock children. It asks the Sen- ator to see her or send some trusted person to relieve her distress; She says she will employ a lawyer if she does not hear from him by Tuesday following. Another letter tells of her husband being out of town and ¢oncludes thus: “Now, I am _coming to see you. Get there early before any one gets there, 8 o'clock Mondey morning. I must see you particular. I have some things I wish to tell you, and I shall be sure to come, for I must see you by some means if I have to see you on the street or in the S— cham- r. “How” I should like to see you this eve. “I guess you know. (Signed) CARRIE M. GLASSCOCK. (Excuse), A Detective’s Story. J. M. Elder, a detective, tells how he shadowed the Glasscocks after the fore- going letter was received. He saw Mrs. Glasscock come to the Senator’s office on the appointed Monday morning. Her hus- band accompanted her, but remained out- side the building for the evident purpose of coming on the scene after Mrs, Glasscock was Inside the Senator's office. She did not get in, however. Then the Glasscocks went to the Capitol, Mrs. Glass- cock going to the Senate reception room, the Senate gallery, and elsewhere, while her husband hid behind pillars and watched proceedings. Mrs. Glasscock sent her card to the Senator, on the floor of the Senate chamber, but he did not respond. ‘On one occasion she sent a letter by one of her children. The letter is given in full. | room. It tells of her troubles and upbraids the —— — perfidy. It says among other things: “I will a: your every step and speak to you in any place if you do not see me and help me or send me help. You don't dare to say anything to me or I will denounce you as a sedycer of women and that it has been going on over a year with me. ‘ “I have done nothing to injure you, yet you, a rich man, will bring a woman and five little children to destitution. I swear I will go right face to face on the street, in the Capitol, before any and every one, tell- ing them how you have treated me, if you do not relieve me—which will be the best way out of the trouble we both are in, for I will leave town.” Detective Elder says that after this letter was delivered Mr. and Mrs. Glasscock came to the Capitol together, the former seeking to see the Senator and the latter watching. This mutual action of husband and wife was after he had begun the divorce suit against her. Other Affidavits. Charles J. Rappfer, secretary of Senator Stewart, verifies the detective's statements as to the Glasscocks being together at the Capitol. He also tells of her frequent visits to the Senator’s office and rooms, during which she pleaded for charity, and the Sen- ator treated her with nothing but the usual consideration. The secretary says he had a key to the room and went in and out at John A. Clarke, attendant at the Senator's Glasscock’s many calls for charity at the Portland flats and elsewhere and the priety of all actions when the attendant was about. A Pathetic Appeal. Another letter of Mrs. Glasscock’s is given as follows: - UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHINGTON, D. C., August 2, 1804. My Dear Senator: Remorse and misery and being deserted by my husband drives me almost to dis- yunding me do’ paid, and by Saturday I shall into the street with my starving children. You know too well how I have sinned and how I have fallen. Can you now, in my hour of trouble and distress, desert me I have done all I could to keep our situa- ticn from the public gaze, but evente are now crowding themselves to a pitch that I shall no longer be able to shield you. If I cap get out of Washington I shall hide myself eway from newspaper report- ers, who will beset me when my distress becomes public notoriety. You are spead- 4ng more to hurt me, who has and is still thielding you. Get me out of the way of my husband's lawyers and I shall defend you against all odds. it is no use to allow this scandal to get into the papers. ‘What ts the use to rake up this scandal? Give me means to get away with my five children, and your enemies will be foiled. I must have relief at once. Matters are getting serious and very compromising for you, . Is it possible you can treat me so badly? I who have never by word or deed in- jured you? Do ‘this that I ask and no more of me will you ever hear. Sincerely, CARRIE G—. Arthur Barnes swears to conversations with Mrs. Glasscock, in which she tells that she has shown the divorce papers to sev- eral, including a Dr. Michel, said to be an enemy of the Senator, who is alleged to have said he would have the papers publish- ed all over the Pacific slope to ruin the Senator. ‘The affidavits of a number of neighbors of the Gi ‘ks’ tell in detail of their living together after the divorce proceed- ings were begun and until August 5 last. —_——— NOISE IN THE NIGHT. Birds and Beasts Can Make All They Please, According to Judge Kimball. ” If'polly wants'a cracker he has a right to say.,s0,,and.if he should care to indulge in a little profanity he cannot be arrested. ‘And if bird-tamer Schmidt's lop-eared rab- bit makes'a noise Jeweler Desio has no re- dress. If the birds and rabbits in the pet ‘animal emporium annoy him to the extent that he cannot sleep he will have to thicken the walls or move to a place where he will be beyond the reach of the noise. Schmidt appeared in Judge Kimball's court this morning to answer the charge brought against him by his neighbor, the jeweler. Lawyer Randall Hagner was in court as counsel for the defendant, and he had a large Century dictionary and several law books which he intended reading to the court. He read the dictionary definition of fowl, bit it was found unnecessary to read the legal’ authorties, \~ Judge Kimball had read a notice of the case in the papers, and he was ready to decide the case for the defendant. Even Prosecuting Attorney Pugh’s strong argument could not make the court believe that a parrot came within the provisions of the regulations which provide against the “crowing” and “cackling” of fowls. Judge Kimball was perfectly satisfied that the law was irtended to protect citi- zens against the noises of barn yard fowls. He was satisfied that the law was intended to protect the citizens against crowing roosters in the morning and cackling hens through the day. The judge also spoke of scratching hens and roosters, but Mr. Pugh said that scratching chickens do not dis- turb the peace and quiet of persons. But Judge Kimball thought they did. He knew from experience that chickens greatly Ss persons by scratching in their flower s. Counsel had entered a demurrer in the case, and this was sustained.

Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic Uni- versity, has returned to this country from his visit to Rome, and will arrive in Wash- ington this afternoon. He was Interviewed in Baltimore last night, where he was the guest of Cardinal Gibbons. The pope, said Bishop Keane, expressed the opinion that the time was approaching when imperial or monarchical forms of gov- ernment would be no longer tolerated, but Would be succeeded by democracy, of which he pointed to the United States and France as examples of what he considered the broadest types of government. Pope Leo did not hesitate to say that he regarded America as the bulwark of the church. Bishop Keane said that the rela- tions between the vatican and the quirinal had not changed in any manner whatever, the pope refusing to be affected by the in- fluences that have been brought to bear upon him to withdraw his friendship from France and place {t with the triple alliance. He thinks that Italy will become a repub- lic in the future, with the pope having full and unquestioned gubernatorial authority over the city of Rome. coensipirseeeten! Very Pleasant.

BEAR SENTIMENT STILL RULING Outlook for theGranger Roads Not Promising. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, September 22.—Traders were disposed to take profits this morning, and even up outstanding contrects at the close of the week. Prices were improved in consequence, put the yolume cf business was insignificant. The sentiment of the room is unchanged, the bear doctrine being acquiesced in by nearly all of the more ac- tive operators. Rock Island’s action wil! increase the doubt coneerning the earning capacity of other roads depending on the same class of traffic and may lead to an or- ganized raid on the more vulnerable of these properties. The outlook for the Granger roads is not What activity there was in today’s market was confined largely to this group and was conducted in the hope of establishing a higher level for selling purposes. North- west sold up 7-8 per cent to 104, St. Paul a similar amount to 66 and Burlington 3-4 Per cent to 75 3-4. Kock Island opened strong at a gain of 3-4 per cent, reacted 1-2 point to 60 1-2 and then advanced, on cov- ering. to 61 3-4, closing strong. The selling yesterday afternoon was ‘a trifle in excess of the cause, but the decline is not yet complete. In the industrial group Chicago Gas was the feature, gaining 1% per cent on buying for both accounts. ~The -situation is still decidedly complicated, the negotiations with the Mutual Feel Gas Company having ac- complished nothing. Threats of a serious rate war fe@ni more thafi '¥er likely of fulfillment.

Refined sugars were re- duced 4% per cent a pound this morning, making the total reduction during the week a fraction over % per cent. Yesterday’s decision in the injunction suit to prohibit this company from carry- ing on its business within the state of Massachusetts without first compiying with the request of the state authorities to file a report of its condition for the year end- ing in March was favorable to the com- pany, and gives legal sanction to the reti- cent policy of the management.
