A DESPERATE BATTLE Fighting Between the Chinese and Japanese Reported. WHAT CHINA WILLGIVE AS INDEMNITY eee School Board ‘Elections in Eng- land. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS YOKOHAMA, November 22.—The Chinese Pie Yang squadron is reported to have shelled the Japanese troops marching on Port Arthur. A desperate battle between the Chinese and Japanese fleets is said to have followed. The result of the engage- ment is not known. HIROSHIMA, November 22.—It is report- ed that China has intimated that she will offer to pay a war indemnity of 100,000,000 taels and in addition pay all the war ex- penses incurred by Japan. LONDON, November 22.—A dispatch from Shanghai to the Times says that the re- form of the Chinese army proceeds with difficulty. A few European officers are en- gaged in the prelffhinaries of the reorgan! zation, There is no central authority. Prince Kung, uncle of the emperor, and head of the Tsung-Li-Yamen, the admir- alty, &c., is regerved in the exercise of his power, finding it hard to contend against Chinese obstruction. Viceroy Li-Hung- Chang shows no sign of lec ving Tien- Tsin. The dispatch adds that the report of the suicide of the commodore Lin Tai Sau, commander of the Chinese battle ship Chen Yuen, which was sunk by the Japanese in the battle of the Yalu, has been confirmed. In a leader this morning the Post suys that Japan's reply to the United Stat shows the error of approaching Japan at the present juncture, otherwise than by united action. China cannot hope for European sympathy. She must face the inevitable. Her delay in suing” for peace only means the payment of an increased indemnity and further humiliation. CHEFOO, November 22.—The Chen Yuen grounded while entering Wel-Hai-Wel. In trying to avoid the torpedoes planted in the harbor there she ran on the beach, where she remains, useless for the present. Her commander, Lin Tai Sau, committed suicide. The Chinese soldiers at Teng Chow Foo, forty miles from here, are becoming &g- gressive, and the American cruiser Dalti- more has gone to that place. BELIEVED TO BE ACCIDENTAL... An American Lawyer Acquitted of Attempted Murder in London. LONDON, November 22.—Sydney Alfred Bennett, described as an American lawyer and connected with a sewing machine com- pany, was tried and acquitted today on the charge of attempting to murder Edith Mary Andrews, a woman with whom he had been living. On July 31 last Bennett fired a shot from a pistol at Miss Andrews at their flat, No. €5 Egerton Gardens, South Kensington,and then attempted suicide by shooting himself fn the head. He was not dangerously wounded. Bennett's defense was that he was suffering from hysteria, and that the pistol went off accidentally. Both parties deposed to being expert pistol shots, and it was said that Bennett could certainly have killed the woman had he intended to do so. Miss Andrews testified that Ben- nett was devotedly attached to her and as- gerted that she did not think he would injure her in any way. EXCITED OVER ELECTIONS. Great Interest in the Voting for School Boards in England. LONDON, November 22.—The elections which are taking place today for members of the school board are arousing immense excitement. Usually not over 25 per cent of the voters cast their ballots on school questions. ‘The moderates practically rep- resent doctrinal teaching in the board schools and the progressives represent ab- solutely secular teaching. The candidates include a duke, a vis- count, twenty-three clergymen, six officers, eight’ lawyers, seven journalists, three merchants, eight teachers, thirteen wo- men and iive social democrats. The total of the board numbers fifty-five. STOPPED AT THE FRONTIER. Papers Describing the Armenian Massacre Excluded From Turkey. CONSTANTINOPLE, November 22.—Most of the English, French, Russian and Greek newspapers published between November 14 and 19, and also all the Berlin news- papers of November 18, have been" stopped at the Turkish frontier and confiscated by the government, as they contained refer- ences to the Armenian massacre, full de- tails of which were cabled exclusively to the Associated Press, Trying to Steal Gun Patterns. PARIS, November 22.—Tke Figaro this morning says that an attempt has been made to steal the patterns of the new De- port guns, which were shipped in padlocked cases to Calais and Bourges by the minis- ter of war. The attempt to obtain posses- sion of these pattesns Is said to have been made on November 10, and it is added that no one except the presidents of the artil- lery testing committees knew of the ship- ment. — Deepening the Mersey. LONDON, November 22.—The Times this morning says there is a developing belief in Liverpool that, with the deepening of the water on the Mersey bar, fast steamers will ere long save time by carrying the mails direct to Liverpool instead of calling at Queenstown. In the meantime mercan- tile feeling favors the utmost acceleration of the Queenstown route. A French Spy Sentenced. . SAN REMO, Italy, November 22.—Capt. Romani, a French officer, who was ar- rested on the charge of being a spy, has been sentenced to fourteen months’ im- prisonment and to pay a fine of 1,200 lire. ee A New Chicago Pastor.

Will Not Notice the Texas Indictments. *" NEW YORK, November 22.—Regarding the indictment of Flagler, Rockefeller and others by the grand jury of McLennan county, Tex., yesterday, S. C. T. Dodd, at- torney for the Standard Oil-Company, said voday to a newspaper representative: “The same thing has been done before, and the indictment was: dismissed, as it undoubtedly will be in .this case. The Standard Oil Company dogs no business in Texas anyway, but sells.to St. Louis par- ties, who supply the trade in the south- west.” *; . After reading the Texas telegram care- fully, Mr. Dodd said: “The statute under which these indict- ments have been secured is one of those crazy socialistic laws which are unconsti- tutional I have known of several cases being brought up under these laws, but never yet heard of a conviction; in fact, none of them came to trial and were dis- missed. Of course, we will get the papers in this case, but we will not pay any at- tention to them, The governor of New York would not, I am sure, sign requisi- tions for the extradition of persons who, not having been in Texas, cannot, in the eyes of the law, be fugitives from justice.” Mr. Dodd denied that the Standard Oil Company had any interest in the Waters- Pierce Company, and said if any of the members held shares they would only amount to a minor interest. “I would really like to see this law tested by a trial,” said he, on concluding, “as I am fully confident it would be declared un- constitutional, and the matter settled for good. Why, under the Texas law, a per- son accused of either increasing or reduc- ing the price of an article is declared to be guilty of an offense. So much for the Texas laws and Mr. Rice, who framed and had a number of them ‘ad i TROOPS AGAIN ASKED FOR. le to Capture the Cook Gang Without Them, MUSKOGER, I. T., November 22.—Last night a half dozen members of the Cook gang were recognized on the streets by citizens of this town. The news was quick- ly communicated, and the town was in the wildest uproar. Citizens came from every quarter of the town armed with Winches- ters, shotguns and revolvers. But that 18 all that came of it. The outlaws made themselves scarce and no harm-came to them. About 7:30 last night James French, widely known as a dare-devil of the Cook gang, rede into Muskogee and put up at 2 dive for the night. At 8 o'clock Tom Cor- dey, one of the marshals, who has been hunting the bandits, organized a posse of ten men and returned to the dive, went through every room and out bhilding, but Jim had disappeared. Officers, who follow- ed the two bandits last night, came in about dusk and reported that they had chased the bandits to the bottoms, and there lost their course. Cherokee Bill was seen six miles north of Muskogee today. He had two Winchesters attached to his saddle and two six shooters Inmpor mn his person. . Lou Cook, the “Queen outlaw,” and sister to Bill and Jim Cook, is in Muskogee. It ts believed she is here to plan a release for ‘Wade Chamblee, the robber now in jail. Extra jail guards have been placed on duty. United States Attorney Jackson has wired Attorney General Olney that all the officers have returned from the‘chase, and that, in his opinion, there is left but one thing to do—to send troops. { ——.- TOOK EXCEPTION. ——- Lawyer Holland Objected to Judge Kimball's Remarks. ‘There was an occurrence @ little out of the regular order in Judge Kimball's court this morning, when Lawyer Holland took exception to a remark nmde by the judge. There had been a case; on arial in which the defendants were Simon Bloom and his wife Rosa, against whom-ithere was a charge of disorderly conduct. The affair happened ‘at the O street market, where a big coloted man, who ts a’special police- man, arrested Mrs. Bloom for an alleged infraction of the market regulations. This man, like all other special policemen, had his badge where no one could see it. The sight of his wife in the hands of a big négro was more than Simon could stand and then atove all other times he thought he should protect her. And he attempted to do so. This resulted in his arrest and the court heard both cases. In disposing of the case Judge Kimball said he thought the sight of the woman in the hands of the colored man was enough to cause some action on the part of her husband and returned their collat- erals. Lawyer Holland, who was sitting in the court and heard the judge's remarks, arose and told the judge he desired to take an exception to his remark. He said he thought the court's remark was a reflec- tion on every colored man in the District, and he (Holland) was satisfied that the court had no such intention. Continuing, Lawyer Holland said he had heard the testimony and had remarked to a friend that he would have killed the man had he seen him with his (Holland’s) wife with np badge displayed. He said he would kill any man under such circumstances, whether he be white or black. Judge Kimball disclaimed any intention of reflecting on the colored race, and said he~had used the word “colored” oniy be- cause it appeared in the case before the court. The judge's explanation was satisfactory to the lawyer and the matter ended. ileal HILY QUARREL, AF Mrs. Mary Schwing Charges Her Son With Fraud. Mary A. H. Schwing today filed a bill in equity against her son, Frank A. Schwing, to set aside a deed in trust made April 1894, and for an accounting to her for such rents and profits as the defenlant may have received under said conveyance since the execution, Mrs. Schwing alleges that in April last, while her son, John W. A. Schwing, was lying hopelessly ill of consumption, the de- fendant induced her to make the said con- veyance, she at the time being under the impression that he was merely making a will which she could at any time there- after revoke. She says that at the time she was seriously ill, and that, as far as she can now remember, she signed the paper without any consideration or deliber- ation, It conveyed the following real es- tate, inherited from her father, John Mil- ler: Lots 59 and 60, square 508, and lots 73 and 74, square 520, and also all the es. tate bequeathed to her under her husband’s will, Mrs. Schwing states that being of a nervous temperament, and: because of her inexperience in business matters, she had depended solely upon ithe defendant in such affairs since the death of her hus- band, and that when he advised, impor- tuned and urged that it-would be to her benefit to make the supposed will, she naturally consented. She dtd not, she says, become aware of its true nature until months later, Alleging that the defendant betrayed the trust reposed in him by her with intent to possess himself of real es- tate and place her entirely witain his coi trol, and charging that the conveyance was obtained from her’ by and fraud, misrepresentationd and artifice, she prays as above stated. * -_ Real Estate Transfers.

THE NEW INSPECTOR As predicted in yesterday's Star, the Commissioners today appointed Mr. John B. Brady inspector of buildings for the District of Columbia, vice Thomas B. Ent- wisle, deceased. In the matter of material for the choice of a successor to Mr. Entwisle the Com- missioners were rich, and under the circum- stances Mr. Brady's appointment comes as a high compliment to him. Outside of eminent personal qualifications, Mr. Brady's appointment is in the nature of a civil service promotion. Several other can- didates entirely qualified to fill the import- ant position were strongly recommended for the position. Among them Mr. Fred Pilling, the well-known builder, had prob- ably the strongest personal backing, and the indorsements on his papers represented many millions of dollars of local property. Mr. Pilling had, however, informed the Commissioners that his application must not be considered as standing in the way pointment. Mr. Thom: King wi strong candidate, with the indorsement of several organizations be- hind him. ‘rhe Commissioners’ choice of Mr. Brady seems to meet with general ac- ceptance throughout the city. Mr. Brady's Speech. Mr. Brady was apprised of his appoint- ment by a reporter of The Star this after- noon, He was engaged at the time in his official duties, and the office was crowded with citizens. Some one proposed three cheers for the new inspector of buildings, Mr. J. B. Brady. and they were given with a will. Cries came for @ speech from all parts of the room, and Mr. Brady responded. He said: “Gentlemen, 1 am deeply moved by this announcement that places me in charge of this office. it came without solicitation on my part. All 1 can say is that I feel hon- ored that the Commissioners have put such confidence in me, a confidence which I shall endeavor to merit, a trust which I shall guard with a jealous consideration. 1 will promise the Commissioners and every citizen in this beautjful city that I will give that consideration to the office of inspector of buildings which will win for me their favor, and cause them never to regret their appointment.” A Washington Man. Mr. Brady was born in this city in 1850, He first attended the private school in South Washington, taught by Miss Isabella Wimsatt, and afterward entered Gonzaga College. He left college in 1867 and took up the study of architecture and served a four-year course. For the purpose of ob- taining a practical education in the art ct buildmg he associated himseif with the building firm of Baldwin Brothers, then with 8. T. G. Morsell, and finally with that well-known builder, Charles idmonston, with whom he remained several years. He afterward opened an office as architect and engineer at 13843 F street northwest, where he remained until 1883, when he was ‘appointed first assistant inspector of buildings and draughtsman. Mr, Brady has designed and, supervised the construction of n.any buildings, a few of which are, the office and stable ouildings of the Washington and Georgetown Rail- road Company in Georgetown, the office buildings of the Metropolitan Railroad Company, the National Rifles’ Arm- ory, the “Cochran Hotel,” the power house and car buildings of the Metropolitan Kail- road Company, located in South Washing- ton, the additions to the Providence Hos- pital and the Washington Times building, corner 10th and Pennsylvania avenue northwest.

Mr. Brady resides at No. 1012 B street southwest, which he owns. He is connected with several building associa- tions, in two of which he is a member of the valuation committee; he is also vice president of Carroll Institute. 4 Mr. King Satisfied. The members of the builders’ exchange were very much pleased with the an- nouncement of Mr. Brady's appointment. A Star reporter was the first to inform Mr. Thos. King, who had been indorsed by the exchange, of the Commissioners’ accion. “I am very glad to hear Mr. Brady is ap- pointed,” he said, heartily. “I only per- mitted my name to be used as a contestant among outsiders, and my candidacy was never opposed to Mr. Brady. He is an ex- cellent man and has had valuable experi- ence in the office. He is alert to its neces- sities and is progressive in his ideas. I am sure he will make a first-class building in- spector.” At the Exch: There were several builders and con- tractors at the builders’ exchange when The Star reporter brought the news of Mr. Brady's selection. Some of the expres- sions recorded were as follows: J. McL. Dodson: “I think it is a very good appointment. 1 don’t know Mr. Brady per- sonally, but I know he is a good man and fully qualified for new position.” Fred. W. Pilling: “If the Commissioners had searched the city over they could not have found a better man for building in- spector than Mr. Brady. There is no ques- tion about his ability, and his experience will prove valuable to the city in his new position. I was never a candidate for the position in opposition to Mr. Brady.” J. W. Thomas: I am satisfied that Mr. Brady will make an excellent inspector of buildings. I am sure his appointment will meet with the approbation of the build- er’s exchange. Of course we were in fa- vor first of a member of the exchange, and supported Mr. King, but Mr, Brady was our first choice outside. T. J. Callahan: I am glad to hear Mr. Brady's got it. He is a very good*man in- deed. Robert Clarkson: I was in favor of Mr. Brady and I'm glad he got the place. There is no doubt about his making a good offi- celal. M. Shea: I indorsed Mr. Brady from the start. I don’t know when I'll wear out all the hats I've won on his selection. A bet- ter man could not have been appointed. L. A. Littlefield: Mr. Brady is the right man for the right place. There is no doubt that he understands the business of the office perfectly. John Mitchell. The appointment sults me perfectly. I think he is qualified to fill the position in every particular. I have al- ways found him courteous, affable and painstaking. It 18 a very proper appoint- ment indeed. Samuel S. Hunt: I am heartily glad to hear of Mr. Brady's eppointment. He Is perfectly familiar with all the details of the office and fully capable to attend to it in the very best manner. You can't ex- press my gr ation too strongly. William _B. an: Mr. Brady will make a splendid building inspector. He is familiar with the office and the laws gov- erning it, und its necessities. A better or more capable man could not have been se- lected. THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1894—ITWELVE PAGES. INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

It will be recalled that Acting Inspector of Buildings Brady discovered in an in- vestigation of the building that the rear Une was four feet short. It was evident that either a mistake had been made or else some one had moved the peg. Work was ordered stopped and the surveyor This was done and At the hearing this morning considerable feeling was developed. Mr. Brady insisted that it was the duty of the contractor and inspector to verify the lines before com- mencing construction. Mr. Thomas, the contractor, insisted that the peg had never been moved and intro- duced several of his workmen to prove it. Mr. Forsyth and his son and workmen all contended that no mistake had been made by the surveyor's office. The Commissioners took the matter un- der advisement. ——_—. Mere 0! To the Editor of the Evening Star: We all know that the Washington of the future will be found between 7th and 16th streets and north of Florida avenue, and yet we learn from your very valuable pa- per, for the first time, in yesterday's issue that some months ago our District Commis- sioners carelessly, quietly, and I may say secretly located a hospital for the treat- ment of contagious diseases in this locality, north of the city in the line of all improve- ments, and where a dense population will beyond doubt soon be found. It is not my purpose to suggest the great damage and detriment that will accrue to real estate in this locality by reason of such action, because that might be con- sidered a personal objection, nevertheless this ought to have been entertained by them, and this hospital should have been Iccated where private interest would have been damaged as little as possible. I am not a property owner in this location; 1 am not interested in any one who is, for- tunately for me, but with the public I can urge many objections to this selection. The sewerage from this deadly infected es- tablishment will pass from this thickly set- tled district through the entire city, and may I ask how many dwellings in Wash- ington are entirely free from the ever penetrating effects of sewer gas? What may be the result from this source alone? What may be the result of taking all af- fected persons through the city to this thriving locality? What may be the result of locating it in this growing section of our rapidly improving clty? Why not locate it near the terminus of the sewers, away from the dense nig ompriony away from the direction in which the city Is ear | rf ry ite, The Hospital To the Editor of the Evening Star; In your lest evening’s issue under tho heading, “The Site Chosen,” you give an account of alwut the meanest transaction that has taken place in this city for some time; if it was ever equaled. The thing can bo put in a’nutshell, thus: Remove the contagious hospital from the neighborhood of the jail and the potter's fleld, and place it in a thickly settled neighborhood, where the eastern breezes, as they blow, may waft the deadly effluvia over one of the choicest portions of the suburbs. It appears that the denizens of the jail are more valuable citizens than those who keep the laws, pay their taxes and 1se- ful men end women in the communit®™ so save the scoundrels and kill off the honest men. Bulld the hospital where it is now—there is plenty of ground, and cheap at that—it is near the potter's field, whereas the other cr proposed site, is three miles away, and those who die will have to be carried that distance to be buried, scattering disease and death on the way. Yours for JUSTICE. —_———_. No More Smallpox. It has been about twelve days since there has been a case of smallpox, and Health Officer Woodward said today that he thought the outlook encouraging. He would not say, however, that he felt sure there would be no more cases, for the period of incubation from the Williams cases has not yet passed. Yesterday there was a scare in the neighborhood of Sth and M streets, where it was thought a sick boy had the smallpox, but it was soon settled that it was @ case of chickenpox. The patients who are still in the hospital are improving, and it is thought they are all out of danger. Most of them are out of bed and some have been permitted to leaVe the little hospital and stroll about the grounds, where they can see the graves of some of thi cupants of the hospital.

The achievement of the Associated Pres in presenting the exclusive information of Japan's declination of the offers of modia- tion ts exciting quite as much comment in official, diplomatic and newspaper circleg here as the declination itself. All Assos ctated Press papers had the information Tuesday night, and the morning papers printed it yesterday morning as the o foreign event of the day. The United was without a line on the subject, or upom the official notes passed between Ching and Japan, and yesterday, making efforts to catch up, the published report of thd Associated Press was changed in phrase- ology and sept forth, twelve hours late, In the meantime, while catching up om Tuesda: news, the United Press failed to secure yesterday's important cen ae ments that Minister Kurino had been offl- cially notified of the declination, and thi the Emperor of Japan had taken the un- usual course of giving imperial ecg | the reply, which was given in The 8 yesterday afternoon. This press associas tion also overlooked the important fact that while Japan's answer was in terms @ declination, It was, in effect, an acceptant of United States Minister Dun as o1 through whom China might make its offer, Secretary Gresham has cabled Ministers Dun and Denby to tranemit such peace offers as China might wish to make direct to Japan. —__—-+ee____—__ A Hard Times Social.
