SHANGHAI, Nov. 9.—The Chinese army of the north has retreated to the mountains, where the soldiers are reported to be stary- Ing and suffering severcly from cold and ex- posure, "% The Japanese army is reported to be en- | samped at Feng Wang Cheng. The Japanese | are pursuing some 15,000 Chinese, mostly new recruits. Port Arthur s not expected to make a de- termined stand against the Japanese. Admiral 8ir E. R. Fremantle, in command of the British fleet, considers that Port Ar- thur will probably be the scene of the last engagement of any Importance between the Chinese and Japanese. LONDON, Nov. 9.—A dispatch from Shang- hal says the panic in Nieu Chwang and throughout Manchuria continues. Numerous 2ountry people are arriving at Nieu Chwang, and two-thirds of the stores have been closed. Chang Chi Tung arrived in Nanking last evening with the remains of the viceroy of Kiang Chang. A war levy of $3 a head has been imposed in Hang Kow. The people probably will resist it. Tho Pall Mall Gazette prints a Yokahama | dispatch, saying that the Jupanese are laying | torpedoes at Port Arthur, and are In other | ways completing the trap which they have been preparing for the Chinese. Mr. Uschida, Japanese charge d'affaires in London, sald: “Japan could not accept, as an answer to her proposals for reform in Corea, the maintenance of a Chinese army In the" peninsula. The presence of Chinese troops in Corea meant merely a serfes of hor- rors such as are now belng perpetrated In Man- churia, Japan never menaced Chinese integ- rity. She did not intend to break up the empire, and certainly does not wish others to do s0. The helght of Japan's ambition Is to see China consolidated, freed from corrup- tion, prosperous, and open to commerce and clviiization.” A dispatch from Shanghai says that all the missionairies of the Presbyterian church of Ireland who have been working in Man- churia have left the interior and have arrived in safety at Nieu Chwang. Another dispatch from Shanghal says the Japanese have undoubtedly captured Talien ‘Wan, a short distance north of Port Arthur, The Chinese fleet is reported to have arrived at Wel Hal Wel. % LORD MAYO! Londoners Losing Thelr Love for Show-— Ros bery Specch Luast Night, LONDON, Nov. 9.—There are many indi- cations that the glorles of Lord Mayor's day are departing and the interest in the election of tho new lord mayor of London s dying out. The crowds which witnessed the pro- cession today, which, as usual, formed part of the installation of the new lord mayor, Alderman Sir Joseph Renals, were far smaller than usual. In addition the decorations wore J tawdry, and the procession itselt was far % from comparing with those of some years back. The day was mild and showery. In accordance with custom, the new lord mayor of London, Sir Joseph Renals, gave a banquet at the Guild hall tonight. The prlnclpll speaker was Lord Rosebery. He [ “We are determined to maintain a strict neutrality, but, on the other hand, we cannot forget we have shown a striking and tangible proof of \riendship with Japan by our recent treaty, while we have shown friendship for China, in attempting to secure peace. We acted thoroughly in accord with Russia. We would siill be glad to join in any pacific means to secure a peace honorable to Japan and not disastrous to China. The newspapers have been advising the government to se- 4 cure the opportunity now offered to enter “into a cordial entente with Russia. That advice the government has alrcady antici- pated. (Cheers.) Ever since the govern- ment's relations with Russia have been more cordial than I ever remember. The frontier dificulties in Asla, which I hope are almost ‘the last of a danger- ous question between us, are now nearly terminated. The removal of this cause of Anglo-Russlan distrust will be a great step toward universal peace. There were at_present three elements endangering the world’s peace—enormous almaments, the pross and armed explorations.” He did not belleve that the newspapers in thelr flerce competition sufficiently weighed the effect of thelr intelligence. It had been twice an- nounced In the newspapers that New Zea- land desired or intended to administer the government of Samox. The British govern- ment did not think it necessary to contra- diet such absurd rumors, though they could not fall to prejudicially affect the powers With which Great Britaiu was co-operating in Samoa. “Our forelgn policy,” he concluded, ““is b tinetly conservative. We covet nothing abroad, and ouly want to maintain the status quo.” DAY, UNITED Help for Guatemata in Repelting Mexican Eueioachments, PANAMA, Nov. 9.—It is reported that La Regeneracion, a semi-officlal newspaper, in timates that Guatemala has been assured of the friendly intervention of the United States to prevent, if possible, Mexico's threatened encroachment upon Central American terrl tory. Guatemala has raised her quarantine against Salvador, eatablished on account of yellow fever. Nicaraguan authorities have captured the noted bandit, Obando.

Preparing to Make Copenhagen the Great Port of the Baltie, COPENHAGEN, Nov. 9.—Copenhagen was declared a free port morning and the tonnage dues of 50 marks per ton were abol- ished at all ports. The elaborate program prepared for the opening of the port was abandoned owing to the death of the czar. The port dues have been reduced half and have been converted into an import upon mer- chandise which is not applicable to goods in transit, WASHINGTON, ov. 9.—~The opening of the port of Copenhagen as a free port of en- try marks the Inauguration of an aggressive commercial policy for Denmark by which the government expects to greatly increase its commercial importance. Count de Revent low, the Danish minister, says all tonnage dues upon vessels entering the harbor, which have amounted to a considerable tax upon them, are removed and a nominal pierage charge imposed as a substitute. Extensive warehouse accommodations are provided, ich will enable shippers to store goods at small cost for reshipment and distribution among the other ports of the Baltic without paying duty. The system is relied upon to | make Copenhagen the commercial center of | the Baltfc and to increase its incidental busi- | ness by making it the central dep for the commerce of Russia, Germany, England, the United States and other powers which pass through the Baltic, and the station for trana- | Atlantic shippers to leave their cargoes for distribution to other points, Improved ma- chinery for loading and unloading " cargoes is provided, and the works of the harbor, which is one of the finest in the world, because of the absence of tides, have been extensively im- | proved. The system Is designed to offs in a measure the advantages that Germany expects to realize from the ship canal now building across the peninsula from the Baltic to the North sea and to give to Denmark a | share of the business from the canal. The | States minister at Copenhagen this has declared in two interviews given to the press of Denmark that the new arrangement will increase the commerce between that country and America. New Prusgsian Cabinet OMcers. LONDON, Nov. 9.—A Berlin special to the Times states that Herren Tossendorf and Koch have declined to accept the portfolio of the Prussian ministry of commerce, made vacant by the dismissal of Dr. von Schelling. Herr von Hammerstein, director of the proy- ince of Hanover, it s believed, will bs ap- pointed Prussian minister of agriculture. He is one of the largest land owners in Han- over. If he has not identified himself with tho agrarian agltation he has at least taken such a part in furthering its object as to exclude any doubt as to his sympathies. His selection as minister of agriculture is, there- fore, much commented upon. Captured Torpodo Experts. LONDON, Nov. 9.—A dispatch to the| Times from Yokohama says the two Amerl- cans who were arrestel at Kobe on the French steamer are torpedo experts who had contracted with China to employ their own inventions to destroy the Japanese fleet. China promised them $1,000,000 for each warship they destroyed and a_proportionate sum for each merchantman they succeeded in blowing up. i British Cruiser Aissing. LONDON, Nov. 8.—The cruiser Calypso is missing. She parted company with the train- ing squadron to which she belongs on Octo- ber 24, during a gale, The squadron has ar- rived at Las Palmas.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.—All arrange- ments have been completed Cramp's ship yard for the launching of the American lne steamer St. Louls on Monday next. | This event has attracted ttention any similar affair in recent years, use the St. Louis is the first modern asseng 1 built in this coun- try, and the preparations have been on a larger scale than usual. Mrs. Cleveland is to christen the ship, and she will be ac- companied from Washington by a_distin- shed party, including the members of the et and their wives. The ship is feet long, and when her stern is in middle of the channel about 100 feet of her bow will still be on the ways, and if there is any tide at all there s danger of the great hull being twisted. The launching nd from which Mrs. Cleveland will break the traditional bottle of champagne on the point of the steel bow as it glides past her is bullt to accommodate 40 people, On this will be the Washington guests and the offi- cers and principal stockholders of the Cramp Ship Building company and the In- ternational Navigation — company.

A point that has been overlooked in computing the political complexion of the next senate s the admis- sion of Utah with two senators. The act of the last session of congress admitting Utah provides that in March, 1895, the constitu- tional convention shall be held. On the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of that year the constitution is to be sub- mitted to the people, and If ratified and found by the president to be In accordance with the act, he will issue a proclamation admit- ting it as a state. The act also provides that a representative to the Fifty-fourth congress shall be elected at the same time the vote is taken upon the constitution; also that state officers and a legislature shall be chosen and that if the constitution s ratified the legislature shall Immediately meet and elect two United States senators, As there is about a month from the time the election Is held until the congres meets there will be ample time to have all the formalities completed and Utah proclaimed a state in time for Its senators and representatives to in the organization of the mext congr This would make in all ninety enators and as the next senate now stands the politics of Utah senators would cut an important figure. Another probabilit which arises is the admission of both New Mexico and Aarizona, which may be accom- plished in time so that four more senators would participate in the organization of the next senate. Bills have already passed the house for the admission of both these territories. The senate committee on terri- tories has reported them favorably to the senate and they are now on the calendar. Senators of both parties have been urging their passage. It Is, therefore, quite likely that the battle for the control of the senate will yet be fought out in Utah, New Mexico and Arizona next year. The admission these two states will make a total of ninety- four senators. With the vice president the democrats could control the semate with forty-seven senators 9 GORMAN NOT WORRIED, Says He Thinks Democratic Defeat is Only Temporury, BALTIMORE, Nov. 9.—Senator Arthur P. Gorman was seen at his home ncar Laurel yesterday by a representative of the Amer- ican Union. The senator is improved in health and seemed in good spirits. He sald when asked as to the causes of the demo- cratic defeat that he had not been paying any attention to politics since the adjourn- ment of the senate, but that he had been devoting the time to getting well and was in much better condition than he had been for some time. He said that the causes of the defeat were serious, but it was hard to tell what particular thing was most Influential. He said that in political battles as well as in war men run for no particular cause. The causes which existed in 1892, when the re- publicans were defeated, continued now, whatever they were, and the democratic party was suffering from the action of the people just as the republicans had done at that election. He did not think that the defeat of the democratic party would be lasting, but that everything would be right after a while, The senator does not seem to bs very much depressed with the re- sult, belleving it to be only temporary. Senator Charles Gibson called at the cus- tom house yesterday to pay his respects to Subtreasurer Hammond. Like the other democratic leaders, Mr. Gibson was greatly arprised at the result of the elections, but would not express his views as to its cause. TEXAS 8 LL IN THE OLD LINE, Democrats Save the Governorship as Things Look Now. DALLAS, Tex.,, Nov. 9.—Not more than one-third of the vote of the state has been reported officially, but enough is known to predict the success of Culberson, democrat, for governor by about 40,000 plurality. He runs 10,000 to 15,000 behind the balance of the state ticket. The democrats certainly elect congres men in eight of the thirteen districts, namely: First, Hutchinson; Second, Cooper; Third, Yoakum; Fourth, Culberson; Fifth, Balley; Ninth, Sayers; Tenth, Crowley; Eleventh, Crain. In the Twelfth Noonan, republican, has from 1,500 to 2,000 plurality. In the Thirteenth Gillilland, populist, is probably elected. He is leading by nearly 1,000 votes and the democratic strongholds have been mostly heard from. In the Sixth district the official count will be necessary to determine between Abbott, democrat, and Kearbey, populist. The same is true of Pendleton, democrat, and Barber, populist, in the Seventh, and Bell, democrat, and Jenkin populist, in the Eighth. The chances slightly favor the democrats in all three districts AUSTIN, Nov. 9.—Returns from the state show large populist gains, but Culberson democrat, for governor will have a plurality | of about In the Twelfth congressional district republican, is elected by 500 majority. The result in the Thirteenth dis- trict is e between Cockrell, perat, and Gillilland, populist, with the chances favoring Cockrell. Eleven districts are demo cratic. MISSOURI ALMOST REDEEMED, Del crats Have a Mgjority of Two in the Senate, but That is All IRSON CITY, Mo., Nov. 9.—The re- sults of Tuesday's election as bearing upon the next Missourl legislature, obtained from the most reliable unofficial iaformation show that of the thirty-four senators eighteen will be democratic and sixteen republicans, this estimate conceding the defeat of the Twenty-fourth district democrat, which is not yet certain. The house will stand: democrats, 62; republicans, 76; populists, 2. These fig- urcs can hardly be changed by official can- vasses. In the Second the eleete district republican serator has been found to be dis qualified. His democratic opponent refuses to take the seat, though the law allows him to, and a new election will be held MEXICO, Mo., Nov. 9.—Congr: Champ Clark at noon today claims hi tion by 1,333 on what he official returns CONGRESS sman elec- says appears to be cturns Unly Serve to Repuoblica WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—Chairman of the republican congressional palgn committee was today advised following republican congressmen in Missouri and Kentuck Mis- First district, 8.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.—The election of Budd, democratic candidate for governor, is not so certain as it at first seemed. His lead over Estee, republican, has been steadily de- creasing as the returns come in, and he is now only 1,094 ahead of the republican candi- date. There are still 323 precinets to hear from, and if Estee's gain continues in the same ratio as they have durifig the day he may yet beat Budd.

Motion Made to Reopen the Reading Reor- ganization Decree, PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.—Nathan Bijur of York, representing Isaac L.

The motion was prac- tically for a rehearing in the reorganization matter, but Judge Dallas refused to grant it. The grounds on which Mr. Bijur asked for a rehiearing were that the plan changes the rights of the parties who are befo court; that an oversight was made in the advertisement of the plan_ which would mean the extinguishment of some of the bonds of the company. Mr. Bijur had not proceeded far in his address ‘when it seemed to impress all concerned that his real desire was to place himself in a position to take an appeal. Whether this is to the United States court of appeals or to the United ates court at Washington was not de- veloped.
