PEKIVS PERIL.

Danger to the Chinese Capital Daily Grows Greater.

JAPS CAPTURE AN IMPORTANT POST.

The City of Clie« Foo Bald to Have Fallen Into Their Hands—Thn Miu ltlvcr I« Cloned to Shipping—

Italy Una a ri«n.

LONDON, Oct. 10.—It is believed that decisive battle has been fought between tno Chinese and Japanese armies on the plains north of the Yalu river, about 50 miles south of Moukcien, one of the objective points of the Jnpanese invaders. When the last authentic advices were received the northern winy of tho Japanese army had just crossed the Yalu and a battle was momentarily expected.

Chee Poo Captured.

At tho same time news comes that the southern wing, operating* on the western shore of the Yellow sea, had surrounded and captured Chee Foo, a targe town on tho bay of PI Chi LI. In tliis successful attack the army was aided by the Japanese fleet, which had been cruising in Pi Chi Li buy for several days. Chee Foo is a treaty port of China, on the Shan-Toong promontory. It lias a population of over 80,000 and a good harbor.

A third division oi the Japanese army is reported to have effected a landing on the shores of Lcaotong gulf, which is to the north of Chee Foo and between it and Moukden.

Thus Pekin is being encircled with a net of armed men without, while rebellion against the Tartar emperor and his dynasty rages within. If, as reported, tho battle at the Yalu river resulted in favor of the Japanese, it is almost certain that Pekla will be captured within a week.

Chinese Demoralized.

LONDON*, Oct. 10.—A dispatch received Here from Shanghai Bays that a second Japanese army is reported to have crossed the Yalu river and to be advancing upon Moukden, which, it is believed, will soon fall, as the Chinese are reported to be in a state of demoralization.

Closed for Shipping.

HONG KONG, Oct. 10.—A dispatch from Foo Choo says that the Miu river has been closed for shippiug. Foo Choo. one of the treaty ports of China, and capital of the province ofFoKien, is .situated about 25 miles from the mouth of the Miu river. Foo Choo has a naval arsenal, shipyards and school of navigation. Near it are extensive lead mines,and the black tea district is within 70 miles of that place. Consequently Foo Chow carries nn a large trade with the maritime provinces of China, both by land and water, as well as with the Loo Choo islands and Japan. Its population is estimated at 500,000. •hipuncKr Kcinforceinenls »t Chemulpo.

SIIANOIIAL Oct. 10.—A dispatch from Chemulpo, dated October 8. says that there are fourteen Japanese, transports in the harbor at that town, and that since September 27 the Japanese have landed 7,800 troops and 750 coolies that the defenses of Seoul are being strengthened and the garrison has been reinforced by 4,000 Japanese troops in anticipation of a hostile demonstration by the Corean insurgents.

The dispatch also says that the Chinese recently crucified two Japanese prisoners who fell into their hands, and they are also said to have beiieaded two wounded Japanese soldiers who were found in an outpost hospital which had been hurriedly abandoned.

Italy Trying to Knd the War. PAULS, Oct. 10.—A dispatch received here from Rome says that the Italian minister at Peking has addressed a uote to China at the request of his government iuviting pourparlers with Japan in an endeavor to bring about an end of the war and offering his own ofliees in order to effect such an arrangement. It is also stated that the general of tho Jesuits has seut a memorial to the pope, asking the latter to use Is is inlluence with the European powers in order to terminate the war between China and Japan.

Hessian Troops on tho Frontier. Under date of October 10 the correspondent at Tien Tsin cables that ft,000 Russian troops are posted on the Corean frontier facing the Japanese force at Hu.i Chun, miles north of tho boundary. Assaults on foreigners at Peitin and its environs, which have constantly occurred during the last ten years, are increasing in frequency and gravity, as has always been predicted must happen owing to the toleration of the foreign representatives, who are really the responsible parties. Each minister thinking to conciliate the government leaves his colleagues to make protests, the result being plenary indulgence to rowdies. For the same reason commercial rights are invaded with impunit3 Serious troubles must eventually follow unless the foreign agents deal firmly with the government.

TWELVE REPORTED KILLED.

Result, of a Terlflle Windstorm in New York City. XKW YOKK, Oct. 10., 4 p. m.—Two houses have just been blown down at 00 and OS Monroe street. It is reported that twelve persons are killed Ambulances have been ordered from all down-town hospitals. A heavy rainstorm and high winds prevail.

TOLD OF HIS FATE.

The Emperor of Russia the Raoipient of Sad News.

THE CZAR'S DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

lf» la Informed by rrof. Zaccharln That Uti Malady is 1 nourabl*—Couv. sternatlon Exists In tlie lioyal Family,

LONDON, Oct. 10.—The correspondent of the Standard at St. Petersburg telegraphs that ho has learned from an eye-witness that Prof. Zaccharin, while in attendance upon the czar, said to him: "Your majesty's malady

is

incur­

able with caro and attention your valuable life may be prolonged for some months, but it is useless to conceal the fact that no remedies will avail beyond a certain period."

The emperor after the interview entered a room in which a number of his relatives were assembled and said:

THE CZAR.

"Prof. Zaccliarin has Just told me there is no hope." "1 he emperor was visibly affected, ana mose present were thrown into a state of consternation by the change in his face and bearing-. They greatly blamed the professor for his frankness. The correspondent adds: "1 cannot doubt the authenticity of the foregoing."

Frof. Leyden More Hopeful. BEFLIN, Oct. 10.—Prof. Leyden, the specialist, who was recently in attendance upon the czar of Russia, at Spala, said Tuesday: "The czar, with favorable climutic influence as at Corfu or tho Inland of Madeira, and without unforseen complications, may recover. His principal trouble is a granulated contraction of the kindeys, in which the kldueys become hard and change tissue, besides being subject to atrophy. This Is accompauied by hypertrophy of the heart, resulting in enlargement of its muscular tissue. This latter leads to breathing difficulty and is often very painful, the spasms? being complicated by fits of unconsclousneas. Diabetls. in the preliminary stage, has declared itself, but it Is merely symptomatic and an accompaniment of the main trouble. Under the most favorable circumstances the disease is of lengthy duration, possibly years, and the results are most uncertain. The question of the appointment of a regency was discussed at Spala in my hearing, but no decision was reached. A regency will become necessary, however, if a cure Is to be effected."

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—Dr. George Shrady, shown Prof. Leyden's interview, »aidi "The disease as described is Incurable. The cardiac complications lead to grave apprehensions for the near future."

Czar's Wife Will Govern.

ST. PETEKSBIHG, Oct. 10.—It is understood here that if the czar decides, as it is fully expected that he will, upon a form of regency during his absence from Uussia, the ezarewitch will not be appointed regent, but she will be intrusted, by a special declaration of the czar, with the direction of state affairs. The title of regent will be carefully avoided in this appointment.

Disasters. 1

J'JLDON, la., Oct. 10.—Four persons were killed Monday evening in a Rock Island wreck near Harvard. At that point there is a very steep grade, and down this hill west bound freight No. 95 was running very rapidly, when suddenly the engine left the track and in a moment there was a confused mass of debris. Four persons, all trainmen, were killed. They were: Conductor S. N. Yanhook, Engineer Gerald Nolan, Fireman Marshall Lower, Head Brakeman C. E. Deinpsev. They all resided at Trenton, Mo., where their bodies were taken.

The race mare, Beulah C., who was entered in the Ottumwa races a short time ago, was on the train in charge of an attendant. The mare was killed and the attendant received injuries, the nature of which have not yet been learned. As yet it is impossible to determine the cause of the disaster, though it is supposed the rails spread. Conductor Vanhook was one of the oldest men on tho line and his death is greatly regretted. A wreck occurred in the same place two years ago.

Disaster In a Mine.

SHAMOKIN, Pa., Oct. 10.—While carpenters were at work repairing the timber in the Luke Fidler shaft Monday night a miner's lamp on the head of Irvin Buftlnton ignited the wood and

a

fierce fire

ensued. The carpenters gave an alarm and seventy miners commenced

a

race for life, as the mine was filling with smoke. Through a shaft now in course of construction they were hoisted to the surface in an iron bucket, a great crowd cheering as the men reached the mouth of the pit. During the rescue the flames came up the air course and burned the fanhouse, and the rfire department was called into service. .Superintendent Morris Williams and Mine Inspector Edward Brewster heroically entered the burning mine to seek for lost or exhausted men.

At 6 o'clock a. m. Irvin Buftiuton was found dead. It is known for a certainty that George Brown, a wellknown politician John Uierze, a laborer Anthony Bobert, a driver boy. and Michael Bnzofskie, a laborer, are still in the mine. Heroic efforts are being made to reach them, without, however, much hope of success.

The four missing men have undoubtedly been smothered before this, as all parts of the mine are certainty filled with smoke and the deadly after-damp, lilown to Piece*.
