I Tie Human Electrical Forces 1 How They Control the Organs of the Body. The electrical force ot the human body, as the nerve fluid may be termed, 1 > an especially attractive department of science, as it exerts so marked an influence on the health of the organs of the body. Nerve force is produced by the brain and conveyed by means of the nerves to the various organs of the body, thus supplying the latter with the •r 11 ci 1 i w ntr tn i » _

vitality necessary to insure their health. The pneumngastric nerve, as shown here, may bo said to be the most important. of the entire nerve system, as it supplies the heart lungs, stomach, i bowels, etc., wi.th the nerve force necessary to keep them active and healthy. As will bo seen by the cut the long nerve descending from the base of the brain and terminating In the bowels is the pneumogastric, f while the numerous lit-1 tie branches supply the® heart, lungs ana stom-S fflrh with necessary vl-1 tality. When the brain j becomes in any way dis- 1 ordered by irritability! or exhaustion, the nerve 1 force which it supplies * Is lessened, and the organs receiving the diminished supply are con- I

WULFffITSOFW. Two Thousand Lives Lost In Japan’s Attack on Chinese Transports. TROOPS ASHORE IN BATTLE Late.t Detail* of a Conflict From Which But Few of the Attacked Escaped Alive. Japan Preparing For an AggreMive Warfare —Movement* of Chlneae Troop*. ExUtlng Condition* In Corea. Shanghai, Joly 80.—Chinese official reports of the recent engagement between Chinese and Japanese warships state that the latter captured a dispatch boat and sank one transport. The ironclad Chen-Yuen and six transports escaped. On the same day Jap troops ashore attacked the Chinese at Asan, but details have not been received. Principal division of Chinese reinforcements from Tacu reached its destination safely. The British cruiser Porpoise has sailed for Che-Foo to protect its people on the Shan Toong promontory, a health resort. Further details of the naval engagement say the fighting, though of short duration, was very severe. One of the Japanese warships got within a comparatively short distance of the transport Kow Shing and discharged a torpedo at her. The missile was well directed and struck the transport fairly. A terrific explosion followed and the Kow Shing began to fill. Great Lohn of Life. Prior to the discharge of the torpedo the crew of the transport, which was armed, and the military force on board made a hard fight. Many of those on board were shot dead on her /leek. When the vessel began to sink there was great excitement on board. In the dire confusion that prevailed no attempt was made to lower the small boats. But even had such an attempt been made they could have carried only a small percentage of those on board. Every foreigner on board the transport, which had been chartered by the Chinese government from an English company, was either killed in the fighting ur went down with the vessel when she foundered. The loss of life was very great. Os nearly 2,000 Chinese troops on board only 40 were saved. They Were picked up by the gunboat Lion, that was cruising in the vicinity. The Tsao Kian, which was captured by the Japanese, was an old man-of-war that had been pressed into use as a transport. Many men were killed on board of her before she fell into the hands of the Japanese. CHARACTER OF COREANS. King Possesses No Authority and Has to Contend Against Anarchy. London, July 80.-—An a resnl t. inquiries made of experts in eastern politics and persons who have resided in Corea, the Associated Press learns that widespread discontent exists because of the corruption and misgovernment that everywhere prevail. One of the most powerful revolutionary factors in the country is a quasi-religious sect called Tong-Hak, which ascribes the precarious condition of Corean trade and commerce to the presence of foreigners in the country. This sect has Sfflyjpr itself the task of ridding Corea of tlie'hated foreigners and has threatened the Japanese and other foreign residents. Among the charges brought against the foreigners is one that they have caused an enormous increase in the prices of food stuffs without any benefit accruing to the Coreans. The king of Corea possesses no real authority and he is in constant terror of a revolution that will sweep him from his throne. He is heavily in debt and the whole country is in a state of anarchy. To this condition of affairs is due the revolt that recently started in one of the provinces. Last year 80,000 Coreans, armed and unarmed, threatened to march on the capitol and expel the foreigners. This rebellion was suppressed, but the country has been disturbed ever since. Reformers in the administration are regarded as absolutely necessary, not only to save the commerce of the country but for the safety of foreigners.

JAPANESE EDICT. Army and Navy Reserve Ordered Out. c China’s Trick. Yokohama, July 30. —An imperial edict has been issued calling out the army and navy reserve and ordering them to report forthwith at their respective headquarters. The Chinese residents of Japan are greatly alarmed at the threatening outlook and are fleeing from the country in large numbers. At Tokio the conviction is growing in official circles that the Chinese negotiations are simply a pretext to gain time in order to allow China to concentrate her forces for the purpose of making a combined attack on the Japs. Reliable information has been received at Tokio that the main body of the Chinese army crossed the northwestern frontier of Corea on July 25. Further firingibn Japanese ships on the Corean coast is fepqrted. s CliiiiH 'Buying War Materiala. London, July 80.—Advices indicate that the Japanese attacked the Chinese troops who landed at Asan from the transports that escaped from the Japanese warships. China has prohibited the exportation of rice or grain. Torpedoes have been laid in the north channel and the entrance of the Yang-Tse-Kiang river. The Chinese government is buying war material freely. Russia Interested. / St. Petersburg/July 80.—As far as Russia’s interests are. concerned it would be better if there should be no war between China and Japagi, inasmtreh as the victory of neither would be of advantage to her. Russia cannot on any account perinit Corea to lie robbed of hw independence by either China or Japan, and would not willingly suffer any single Eurojiean power tp interfere in Corean affairs, especially England.

“FLAT REFUSAL Senate Informed That House Conferrees Will Stand Firm. TARIFF BREACH WIDENED. Upper Branch Ultimatum Given a Negative Answer. MEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEE. Last Week*a Exciting Incidents Having No Apparent Effect Toward a Settlement—Attitude of the House Representatives on the Committee Expected to lie Sustained In Caucus—Senate Conferrees Still Contending For Their Sugar Schedule—lron Ore and Coal Not Much Talked About— Antilottery Sentiment at Work—Prospects of Legislation This Week— General Capital News. Washington, July 30. — The house Democratic conferrees have not weakened. Those members from the senate were so informed this morning and the tariff contention is in no better shape than a week ago. A flat refusal to yield to th>- senate demands on sugar, coal and iron ore was given when the committee met today. It had been decided upon by the house conferrees after they had talked the matter over between themselves and found that each of the four members had not changed his views I in any way since the last conference. ! They were therefore a unit in declining to accede to the demand of the four senate conferrees and the solid front of opposition was made known to the senators. Looks Like a Deadlock. It had been expected that the intense feeling of the last week would clear the i atmosphere and lead to some common ground of agreement, but the house con- ' ferree- were met by a demand to yield in tote on sugar, cofll and iron, and they have assumed an equally aggressive and determined stand. It looks very much like a deadlock unless the house conferrees yield, as there is no indication of any purpose on the part of the senators to do so. The senate conferrees talk frankly about the situation and plant themselves firmly upon the preposition that the sentiment in the senate is such that it must be the senate bill or no bill. From Saturday morning until today there had been no meeting of the Democratic conferrees. Having at the Saturday meeting made plain to the house members of the conference why the senate bili should be accepted, the senators seemed to dismiss the sulijSsi and. left the house representatives to ponder over it.

They say now r that they see no reason for a long parley, as under the circumstances they cannot abate their demands without endangering the passage of the bill in the senate. The senate conferraes have said to those of the house that to strike out the differential on sugar probably means the loss of eight votes in the senate, and also that it is equally important that coal and iron ore should remain in the bill as arranged in the senate. It does not appear that any difficulty has arisen over coal and iron ore in the present conference. Sugar is the question of real contention, and the senators are apparently determined to stand firm for the retention of the differential. Furthermore, they do not appear to be holding out for the senate schedule purely on the ground of expediency, but they also contend for the justice of the preposition to give protection tp the refiners. Breach Wider Than Ever. In speaking last night of the preliminary meeting Saturday, one of the house conferrees said that the. breach was wider than ever, and it was accentuated by the intense personal feeling that had been aroused. He added that if a house caucus was held there would be lines of argument presented and influences brought to bear which would result in indorsing the resistance of the house conferrees and thus make the contest more determined that ever. This! view is shared by all the house conferrees, as well as by Speaker Crisp, so that the movement to have the caucus desert the house conferrees promises to be futile. The full conference between members of the two houses, with Republicans as well as Democrats present, will be held this afternoon. Previous to that time the Democratic managers of the two houses met informally. APPROPRIATIONS. They Will Receive Senate Attention Pending a TarilT Report. Washington, July 30.—Proceedings in the seriate this week hinge entirely on the tariff bill. It the conferrees should reach a conclusion during the week, as everyone expects they will, the report will be made to the senate and be taken up as soon as possible. Whatever the nature of the report, there is sure to be more or less debate upon it. Even should the senate bill:be accepted in its entirety by thehouse there"will be some speeches on the part of the tariff leaders, and possibly other senators, though in this event there would be a general disposition to curtail them both in length and number on account es w desire which is felt in all quarters to bring the session to a close at tne earnest possible date. Tins disposition would not be allowed to control m ease the report should indicate any material concessions to the house. In case of reduci iens on either coal, iron ore or sugar there are Democratic senators who would resist the report and another f;U-.Ty quarrel on ci fl >qr w mid be inevitable, 'i: ~.- ;:rv Ihnmcratic senators who would w- > --tenuous opposition to mawi-ial ymmges in the metal. woolen and cm* on schedules, andthe Republicans would in the.latter event be found participating. The first days of the week, will be given up,to the sundry civil appropria-

tton bill. This always arouses more or less debate. The bill this year will probably prove no exception. With this I disposed of, the general deficiency bill ■ will lie the only appropriation remaining unacted upon. It will probably be in shape to be considered by the time the sundry civil bill is out of the way. Four of the appropriation bills are in conference ami reports upon these are expected. antilottery sentiment. Religious Bodie* Urging the Passage of Senator Hoar’* Bill. Washington, July 30.—A strong demand is being made by religious bodies for the house to pass the antilottery bill which Senator Hoar introduced in the senate and which passed that body. The penalties provided are very heavy, the first offense of mailing or carrying a lottery ticket being punishable by imprisonment for not more than two years or by a fine of not more than SI,OOO, or both, and after the first offense by such imprisonment only. Whether the bill receives consideration now depends upon how long the session is protracted. Its friends are confident that it will eventually become a law. . They jKiint ont that publications made I to the effect that it would interfere with i church fairs and similar enterprises are ' unfounded, since congress has no juris-1 diction in the matter except over the ' mails and in the matter of commerce'be- ‘ tween the states or between foreign na- 1 tions and the United States. House Conferrees Up In Arms. Washington, July 30. —A petition circulated by Mr. Springer Saturday for a i Democratic caucus tomorrow afternoon i is likely to cut an important figure in ' the house this week, unless Speaker Crisp and other leaders succeed in hav-1 ing it abandoned. Much feeling has I arisen over the caucus, as it is construed I as a reflection on the house conferrees. i The latter are up in arms and there is I promise of a warm personal controversy if the caucus is held. The house has no plan of proceedure. It is now stated that Representative Springer has been persuaded to withdraw his call fop, a caucus. Starving Coxeyites. Washington, July 30.—The starving and deserted Coxeyites have issued an appeal to the public for aid. It says there are 2.000 men in camp at Roslyn. Ya., where they intend to remain until their demands are granted or they are forcibly removed. House Session. Washington, July 30.—Only a short session of the house was held Saturday. Several private bills were passed. The gost important discussion was on a bill to give federal courts greater powers in dealing with violations of copyright! laws. No action was taken. Telegraphed For Stevenson. Washington. July 30.—The tie votes 1 in the senate Friday are said to have been the cause for a message to Vice President Stevenson, to return to the senate. He reached here this morning. Voorhees Much Better. Washington, July 30.—Senator Voorhees, who has been ill for the last few slays, is much better and expects to resume his labors in the senate today or tomorrow.
