SHANGHAI, Sept. 9.—It is reported that Admiral Tieng, commander of the Pel Yang squadron, has been degraded for cowardice snd incapacity, and that he has been de- prived of the peac-ck feather and is ord 1o leave the flect and take a shore command. | The native papers say that LI Hung Chang 1s working to procure the mediation of Eng land and Russia in the war with Japan.

All | the houses of the women had been destroyed, | and they had been robbed and maltreated by Chinese soldiers. The women had bee rescued and hidden by Buropeans. They were taken to the vessel two and three at a time in disguise. The steamer was soon | surrounded by boats full of Chinese seeking o get hold of the refugees. Two soldiers actually boarded the vessel, but they were quickly ejected. No further attempt o get aboard was made. In the afternoon of the gecond day a military officer came off to the steamer and advised the ship to leave port that night, otherwise the authorities might possibly be unable to prevent trouble. Word has since been received of the arrival of the steamer at Kobo, Both Chinese and Japanese Very Careful About Giving Out War News. VICTORIA, B. C., Sept. 9.—The Northern Pacific liner, Sikh, from Yokohama, brings Interesting advices of the war in the Orient. The reason given by the commander of the Japanese warship Naniwai Kan, when asked why he fired upon the Kow Shung, seeing she was fiylng the British flag, is now given for the first time, and is certainly pertinent, “Because she was sailing under false colors; was carrying Chinese troops and had been sold to the Chinese government and fully paid for.” Notwithstanding this explanatior the same paper which gives it publicity an- nounces that the sum of §750,000 has been agreed to by the Japanese government as reparation for the sinking of Captain Gal- worthy's vessel and compensation to those dependent upon the Europeans lost with her. Both China and Japan are at present keenly alert for articles contraband of war and (o this the delay in the arrival of the 8Sikh here is attributable. The government has declined to consider rice as a contra- band of war, but both belligerents claim it 10 be such and use every endeavor to inter- cept rice carrying vessels. The Sikh was detained at Shanghal by a Chinese gunboat, which made an effort to gain possession of the rice portion of her cargo. The British consul objected and the merchantman was allowed to proceed. 1t is almost impossible to get reliable war pews anywhere In the east, even at Shang- hai. This trip the steamer passed very close to the Foochow forts and saw the Chinese garrison drawn up in line. They were all | attired in flowing sack gowns of gaudy color | and had on high, three-cornered silk hats | and presented a curious spectacle. These forts are in charge of an Englishman, the son of a naval officer, and ere said tc ceedingly strong. One of thelr eight guns burst some time ago, killing several men. It is generally understood that this occurred through fgnorance In handling it. China Is now hurrying an army of hun- @reds of thousands of men through northern China to Corea, but as they are subsisting on the products of the country through which they are passing, and most f it is moun tainous, it is hard to say with what success it will meet. Most of the men enlisted and drafted into the Chinese army are coolies of the low order. The Chinese have been offering great inducements to Buropeans and Americans to enter thelr service, and hive secured many. On the other hand, the Japanese will have no outsiders in any branch of the service, On the way over on the last Orient the Sikh passed through a fleet of twenty Japanese ships. They were divided into four divisions, with five ships in each division, They were well handled. At the smaller Chinese ports all manner of outrages have been committed ¢n resident Japanese, and in some places Portuguese have becn robbed.

HOME OF THE CHOLERA BACILLUS. Earnest Tarts Claims Origlnates Along the nges. BUDA PESTH, Sept. 9.—At the session of the hyglenic congress an Interesting paper on cholera was read by Dr. Ernest Harts He argued the disease czme from the valley of the Ganges, where there is an utter dis- regard of sanitary precautions and where the people habitually drink polluted water. Dr. Harts said it seemed certain pers:ns could touch or even rub cholera patients with fm- punity.

It became generally known that the public would be admitted to the house and this had the effect of drawing many persons through curiosity. The body Is Iying upon the bed in which the comte died. In the hands, which were crossed upon the breast, was a large crucifix. At the foot of the bed was a tricolored flag, party furled, while the priest and several members of the family watched over the remains, Tonight's Court Circular says: The queen recelved yesterday morning with much con- cern the news of the death of the count of Paris.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 9.—"Ccmrades” and friends have been flocking into Pittsburg all dsy and night, taking complete posses- sion of the city. It Is estimated that on the night before the opening of the twenty-eighth nat'onal encampment of 1t Grand Army of the Republic at least 100,000 visitors are here, and tomorrow's arrivais will greatly swell that number. A copicus shower fell this afternoon, clearing the atmosphere and ering the heit so sight-seeing has been made pleasant. The saloons were closed, of course, but other business was transacted in a way which made tha average citizen Imagine he was away from home visiting somo cther place not so Stff in the obscrv- anco of the blue laws. The univers:l comment of the visitors re- gardin the decorations and display of pa- triotism s that at no time in the past at an cncampment has Pittsburg been outdons, As the different visiting posts arrive they ro met by escorts detailed from the local regiments of the national guard, and with | fiying cclors and bands playing are taken t the places assigned them and cheered to the echo by (he throngs on the sidewalk. Up to a late hour tonight no accidents have been reported. The naval veterans who arrived today are established in quarters | on the river on steamers fitted up especially | f°r the'r use. OId times certainly are being revived to them, for they observe the strict- | est diseipline on their “ship: nd seem to bo enjoying it to the full. FROM DOLE S DOMINION. | Among the noted arrivals today were two men from Honolulu. They represent the full membership of the Grand Army of the Re- public in Hawaii, and were d:termined to be present at the last encampment which they will likely enjoy. The Women's Relief corps headquarters in the Monongahela house was a place of ac- tivity all day. No business was transacted, but as each membrr of the ¢ rps would arrive i she was taken o headquarters and made to feel at home. Among the arrivals of this corps today are: Mrs. A. A. Cheney of De- troit, natlonal treasurer, and Mrs. Elizabeth D. Kinney of San Francisco, past national president. About the cnly matter that would be called disagreeable in connection with the gqucamp- ment so far is the feling of bitterness among the Grand Army of the Republic people at | the action of the railroads in refusing a 1 | *cent & mile rate for nearby towns, thereby keeping down the number of visitors at least 20,000. 1t has cropped out that the subject { Wil be intr:duced in the convention and a ! resolution offered, backed by the delegates from Pennsylvania and Ohio, to the effect | that hereafter no encampments will b> held, but that the delegates, 1,200 in number, meet | and transact necessary business at the ex- | pense of their respective posts, without asking | favors from the railroads. The veterans can- | mot understand why in the past Columbus | and Milwaukee were granted the 1 cent rate and Pittsburg denied it. From what can be learned, the Clevelznd people are leading the revelt. It Is mot known how the resolution will be received. The first fatality among the veterans to be reported s the sudden death of Comrade Louls Treasler of McClure, Pa. He was a menber of post 365, On arrival at the post headquarters Treasler was completely —ex- austed and died of a weak heart within fif- ten minutes after reaching the building. The principal arrivals are: Commander-in- Chief Adams and staff, ex-Commander-in- Chief Alger of Michigan, State Commander William Emslie and twenty-five posts from Pennsylvania, numbering 1,000 men post of Philadelphia, fifty men; Quartermaster General Louis Wagner, Philadelphia; Ir spector General Underhill and Major B.

During the day thousands of old soldiers, many from the western and northwestern states, passed through the city bound for Pittsburg. The candidacy of Colonel Lawler was one of the chief topics of discussion, Tt is claimed Towa and Wisconsin will be for him. Utah men are also friendly, but their first duty is to secure the election of Dr. { IR as national chaplain. Mr. | the Utah delegation was instructed to vote | for Loulsville as the place for the next con- vention, but that the delegates would not re- gard the instructions as binding further than one ballot. Other arrivals were: Department of Cali- fornia, including Department Commander J. W. Walling, Assistant Adjutant General W. C." Mostelli ‘of San_Francizco; Past Depart- ment Commander Charles D. Long, Lansing, { Mich, and ex-Governor ~Plerrepont of West Virginia, the only war governor who will be present at the encampment. Interest in the coming commander-in-chief fight grows and wires are being energetically pulled for the several candidates. The three prominently mentioned for the suc- ion are Judge Long of Michigan, Colonel I. N. Walker of Indianapolis and Colonel Thomas G. Lawler of Rockford, 1Il. A big combination is at work for Lawler, while Colonel Walker's friends are hard at work and express great confldence in ultimate victory. | names I ST, PAUL WANIS IT N Will Make a Fight for the G, A, R, Re in 1805, CHICAGO, Sept. 9.—The G.

The governor called a special sessfon of the grand jury because he s on the side of law and asks it the papers don’t Ifke it what they wouid have done? The governor proposes a remedy for lynching in the south, In an interview he was asked: *‘What would, do you think, be the ultimate remedy in the south as to the war between the race: ‘I think we have the remedy having as speedy a trial as possible t the matter as much possible. 1 wor suggest that it will be advisable to confine those guilty of such a crime i the peniten- tiary at onco as soon as they are arrested until a court of justice can be held and give them a fair trial. That would put them beyond the reach of lynchers “You believe that would do away after with all lynchings?" No, sir; I do not. I can't say that, but that would be a step in the right direction to protect the man’s life trem Iynching, to put him in the penitentiary right away, or as soon as possible, and give him a speedy trial. It is exceedingly fortunate for the white women of our country that the men do not read noriliern papers or they would mistike the conduct of the papers as indorsing their course. Of course, I consider it exceedingly fortunate that those guilty of the crime of assault do not read the northern papers or there would be more assaults commitied, and If they condemned (he fact of assault more, and lynching less, it would have a_better effect.” “And at the same time you do no to condone lynching at all?” Not at all.” ADMINISTRATION deems now In remedy here- want CONDEMNED.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—Spirited con- troversy between ex-officeholders marked a special meeting of ex-union veterans who have been discharged fromthe government employ, held here in G. A. R. hall. About fifty discharged veterans were present, ‘re- presenting the various departments, but a long serfes of heated wrangles prevented important action, except the adoption of resolutions offered by Thomms H. McKee, assistant secretary of the pational republi- can committee, which wHl be presented at the Pittsburg encampment. It was also decided to forward resolutions offered by William Potter, a discharged War department clerk, denouncing the actions of this and former administrations and denouncing Colonel Ainsworth, chief of the records and pension - islon, demanding the appointment by congress of a committee to Investigate the charges against him and remove him if they are substantiated. Mr. MeKee's resolu- tion was as follows: Resolved, By the G.

It recites the first work of relief done at various points and states that as far as the immediate relief is concerned, it has been splendidly taken care of, and a most effective organization estab- lished to carry on the work. ““This leaves but little for the state com- mission to do in the way of temporary relief. But_hundreds of people have been left abso- lutely destitute. Their homes and every ar- ticle of their possessions have absolutely been destroyed. To re-estallish these as far as possible in their old homes, and, when im- practicable, to locate them elsewhere under such conditions as will enable them 1o sup- port themselves, will be the endeavor of this commission.” After enumerating the classes of sufferers, the statement continu The sufterérs by this fire are an excellent class of people and they represent fairly the people of the state. Thelr requests are moderate, but the commis- sion finds that a large amount of money, building materia pplies will be needed. “While contributions of material are ac- ceptable, the commission would remind the people of the state that money is the most portable and useful contribution possible.

The drouth this sed the fa;mers In this scc tion of South Dakota to the importance of possessing at least one each of these small wells, and a number of farmers in this county are now talking of having wells of this character put down. Brule county has nearly twenty large artesian wells belonging to the townships. These are found to do very well In the way of furnishing water for stock purposes and create living streams througl the various townships, but they are | inadequate for a general system of irriga- | tion.

They found only $0 and a bank book, which they took. Hadley is abont 75 year old and is commonly reported to be wealthy, being regarded as a sort of a miser by his neighbors. The robbers evidently knew of his reputation for wealth, for, in order to make him tell where his wealth was concealed, they tortured him by beating him with a pistol. They inflicted over twenty wounds on the body of the unfortunate man, but he either had no moncy in the house or fear of death would not mak: him divulge the whereabouts of it, Finally Hadley became unconscious and the robbers, thinking was dead, left with their small booty. ley was found by neighbors®and brou Walnut Creek, where he is being cared for by a surgeon. His wounds are serious and he may not recover. Hadley says that there were at least two robbers, and perhaps three. He is €0 weak and overcome by the shock that he is unable to talk much.
