Shanghai, Sept. 21.— Field Marshal Yamajrnta, commanding1 the Japanese forces in Corea, is marching with 4fl,000 troops against Moukden from the southeast. The object of attack is one of the strategic points and should it fall into Japanese hands the progress of the invaders of Chinese soil would be made much less ditlicult.
Ihelhinese will make a desperate ollort to hold their ground and a fierce conflict is expected when the opposing forces meet. The advance of the Japs bears out the idea of their determination to force their way to the interior and take possession of lVkin.
Tlie value of the stores and ammunition captured bv the Japauese at l'ing Vang is reported to be $3,000,000.
YOKOHAMA, Sept. 21.—The particulars received here in legard to the battle of ring Yan^ show that tHe Chinese loss is only about eleven oflieers wounded and 200 soldiers killed.

Dispatches re
ceived here from Shanghai say that the total number of the Chinese fleet engaged in the battle fought off the mouth of the Yalu river was twelve warships and four torpedoboats. The Japanese fleet, it is added, was composed of seventeen ships, some of which were small war vessels. The Chinese claim to have sunk theJMpane.se warships Abushima and Yossina and a Japanese transport which had been converted into a cruiser and named the Saiko. A private report received here from Shanghai declares tluitthese vessels were not sunk, as the Chinese claim, but that they retired from the action in a disabled condition. It is reported that the Chinese transport Tuonan was sunk after she had landed her troops, but this is thought to be probably Incorrect. The report that Admiral Ting and Col. Von Hannekin were severely wounded seems to be incorrect, for thejr have both returned to uty.
The ollicials of the Japanese legation here have received a private cable message from Yokohama saying that on September 10 twelve Chinese warships encountered nine Japanese ships, with the result that after sever** fighting the Chinese lost four vessels and the Japanese none.

UOSTON, Sept. 21.—Acting upon the instructions of the Clothing Trades council No. 2, the garmentmakers of this city to the number of 2,000 struck Thursday morning. Promptlj* at 7 o'clock the committee having charge of the strike started on their rounds and called tlie men out systematically, not a contractor being overlooked. This action is the result of the refusal of a number of contractors to concede to the demands of the union for the abolishment of the "lumping" und "sweating" systems and the introduction of the weekly wage system. The operatives are also desirous of establishing a working day of nine hours with fixed wages. Every man, woman and child responded to the call to stop work. Many of the contractors have a large amount of work half finished and heavy orders ahead, and a number have already made application to sign the new Agreement. Hy the close of.the day fully 5,500 clothing workers had joined tlie strike.

SPAIN READY TO ACT.
It Willing to Make a Now Reciprocity Treaty with Uncle Sam. WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—Senor Mur-
uag*a,
on lloth Sides
the Spanish minister, authorizes the following- statement as to recent cable reports that Spain had instructed him to open negotiations for a new commercial arrangement or treaty "Since the reciprocity nrrimiremcnts a brisk trado has boon carrlcd on between the United States and Cuba and Porto Rleo, composed principally of farm products, wlitch runs up Into the millions, say an nveruge of 122.1)00,000 yearly for American ports, ft Is as much la the Interest of the United Statos ns of Spi.ln that tho exchange of mutual commodities should not collapse. The American hugar producers do not raise the tenth part of the homo consumption, and struggle, besides, under disadvantages of climate, soil and price of labor. Americans, therefore, need our sugar, and tholr refining Industries are largely benefited by It as well as the farming products, which tlnd a ready market for tholr surplus In Cuba and Porto Rico. Everything points, therefore, to the necessity of a fair and equttablo understanding, oven if It should not assume the formalities of a treaty."
Senor Muruagn would not discuss the negotiations further. It Is understood, however, that considerable has already been done toward effecting- a tariff arrangement between the two countries. Spain already has freed from duty all tfoods which left prior to August 27 last, the date the new tariff act took effect. Secretary Carlisle has declined alike concession toward Cuban sugar and other products shipped prior to August 27, but landing in the country after that date, holding that the law would not permit it. This has created quite an agitation in Cuba and large commercial meetings have been held.

FAST TIME AT OAI.ESIU UG. Oai.f.siu-ko, 111., Sept. 21.—Hut one record was broken Thursday, and that was by Monroe Salisbury's wonderful 2-year-old pt cor Directly, who sent the B-year-old .ecord down from to 2:07%, and at the same time reduced his own record two and a quarter seconds. This performance was witnessed by 20,000 people and created the most intense enthusiasm.
Directly was drive? by McDowell, who sped Alix Wednesday and beat the world's trottinpr record. In the preliminary warming up Directly showed great form and was in the pink of condition, lie got away on the tlrst score, and moved along- with great speed, needing no other urging than an occasional word from McDowell. .lust behind him was the running mate. The gait proved remarkable, showing a steady improvement after tne half. The first quarter was made in :82, the half in 1.04V.,. the three-quarters in l:M'.i and the mile in 2:07%. The gait was perfect from start to finish. The reduction of seconds at one clip whs deemed an event worthy of cheers.
Ovation to McDowell.
hen Mr. Williams made the announcement there w«.rj loud cries for McDowell. The famous driver was obliged to go up into the grand stand and acknowledge the ovation. In announcing him Williams said: "I Introduce to you Andy McDowell, who drove Alix Wednesday in 2:08% and has just driven Directly in 2.07%, beating two records in as many days, a feat no driver on earth lias heretofore accomplished."
Itubert J. In 11 in hln ted ly the Crowd. It was 5:10 o'clock when Robert J. was sent off on a second scoring. In a warming heat he had made tho circuit in 2:11. and there was a general feeling that tie would pace a great mile, even if he failed to beat his own record. Ed Geers was the driver. In tho judges' stand was C. J. Ilamliu, the owner of Robert near by him was John H. Losh, of Uoshen, Ind., the owner of Online, the fast 4-year-old pacer. Chandler drove the running mate. Robert J. made the first quarter in :80 and expectation was high. The half was made in 1:00K, but in the third quarter the great stallion slowed up. making the pole in 1:81^: the mile was made in 2:0'.2?i. Uy quarters the time was :30, :80^, :81M and :8l. Driver Oeers assigned two reasons for the failure of tho pneer, namely: Track was a trifle loo hh.rd for Robert J.'s feet, and Robert J. was fearful of the crowd that filled tho entire track save a few feet next the pole.
Online was next sent to beat his record of 2:074'. He went a strong, steady mile, equalizing his mile without apparent effort. Chandler drove the pacer. The quarters were made In °r 2:07V for the mile. Other events of the afternoon were unusually good.
