GAIN TWO VICTORIES. JAPS WIN THE FIRST BATTLE FOUGHT ON CHINESE SOIL. Mikado’s Forces Prepare to Make a Telling Advance Before Cold Weather—Crop Conditions Reported from Twelve States —Death of Honore Mercier. One S*<»rt Arthur Fort Falls. Two important and significant Japanese victories are recorded by United States Minister Denby in a ca de to the State Department at Washington. He says that the Chinese forces have been defeated at Chin Lien Cheng, and have retreated to Moukden. and that the Japanese have taken one of the Chinese forts at Port -Arthur. The scene of the first engagement is just across the Yalu river in Manchuria, and it marks the first real aggres-

sive movement by the Ja] anese on Chinese s >il. for it is believed that the pre- < eding iimvementson the. west side of ti e Yalu ri\er by the Japanese have been in the nature of skirmishes to develop the real strength of the Chinese forces. J This lia ing been done, the Japanese are supposed to have formally entered up-

on the cam: aign with Moukden. the Manchurian capital, as the objective point. Unless they are fully prepared to'matte this a winter campaign, s mething heretofore unknown in Eastern warfare, they will be obliged to force the fighting and move with great speed, as but fifteen days remain before cold weather comes. In the neighborhood of Port Arthur, where the second ..apanese success is rej orted, the winter climate is not so severe and operation- may be maintained until much later in the season, particularly in view of the excellent base of supplies afforded for the Japanese troops in the presence of their own war vessels in the neighborhood, which will keep open free lines of communication with Corea and Japanese supply ports. It is believed that notwithstanding the taking of a Chinese fort by the Japanese at Port Arthur the place will be able to nol i out for a long time. It is st ongly fortified byland and sea the plans b ing drawn byexperienced European engineer o : cers and can offer a most formidable resistance. The experts in Washington believe that it cannot be reduced by the Japanese without the use of heavysiege artillery and so far a- reported the Japanese are not supplied with this. Inasmuch as the capture of Port Arthur would result in giving Japan control of the Gulf of Pe Chi Li and cut off the Chinese capital from communication with the sea, it is belie, e 1 that the Japanese will make a most determined effort to capture the fortress. The belief that they arc pr< pared to do this, even if it involves a long siege and a winter campaign, is borne out by the fact that the agents of the Japanese government in this country have quietly bought up a vast store of goat skins, and have practically cornered the market. As the-e skins are commonly used in China and Japan as a necessary part of the soldier s winter raiment, it is fair to presume that the Japanese are making ready for a winter campaign. Great interest is shown in the news at both Japane.-e and Chinese legations in Washington. MERCIER IS NO MORE. Ex-Premier of Quebec Yields After a Long: Struggle for Life. Ex-Premier Mercier died at Montreal Tuesday morning. He had been sick for many weeks, during which his

- f • HONORE MEBCIER.

death had been almost momentarily expected. Hope of recovery! had been given up weeks ago. In fact, from the moment that he first felt seriously ill on the 14th of August last it had been felt that he lay on his deaih lied. Mr. Mercier had been suffering from a complication of diseases for

years past, diabetes predominating. After his defeat at the general elections of March, 1892, his friends expressed the opinion that he had only six months to live, b t by dint of adopting abstemious habits ot living he managed to prolong his life. Honore Mercier was born at St. Athancose. Que., in 1840. He was educated at the Jesuit College in Montreal and began the study of law. He was for a time edito of the Courier de St. Hyacinthe and was admitted to the bar in 18(ir. In 1883 Mercier was elected leader of the Quebec Liberals. The feeling arou-ed by the execution of -Kiel. the leader of the half-breed rebellion in the Northwest, gave him a great opportunity-, and when the election of 1-8 ’ came on he organized a brilliant campaign, which led to the defeat of the 1 onset-vative Government. Mr. Mercier was summoned to form a Cabinet on Jan. _7, 18'7. His administration wu- full of exciting incidents. As Premier he wa- a stanch champion of f rene.h-Canadians and their rights. One of the most important acts of his administration was The settlement of the Jesuit estate question, by which the Jesuits were yaid a large sum of money, and which provoked a storm of indignation in the other provinces. He attracted considerable attention on account of his advocacy of Canadian independence. CROP CONDITIONS. Correspond© its in Twelve States Give Information for Farmers. The Farmers' Review has received reports from its correspondents in twelve States on the relative area of wheat being sown, on the condition of the corn crop at harvest, on condition of horses, with supply and prices, and the condition of pastures. Wheat deeding—tn spite of the low prices of wheat the area seeded this fall will be about the same as last in most of the States reported, except, perhaps, Kansas and Nebraska. In all the States there are counties uherele<s wheat will be sown than last year, but these counties are not numerous, They are offset by the counties that will sow more than the usual AmouDt In Western Nebraska and Kanias ;

the weather and ground are yet too dry to cucour&ge the sower, even if all bad seed to sow, which some have not In fact there seems a -Ood prospect that the semiarid regio-.s will experience a dry fall, like the one last year, and in that case it would be little asetosou. Sime of the counties in these States will put in very large areas c mpared with lasi year. Corn—The corn crop at harvest is quite generally good in hardness and dryness, but in quantity is the same as indicated by former reports. Horses—Horses are in generally good Condition as to flesh and health. Tr.e supply of common and poor horses is very large. In spite of the incessant warnings of the agricultural press, farmers have continued to breed cheap mares to cheap stallions, and no have on their hands myriads of hor-es so poor In quality that no one wants them, and some cannot be given away. In sme localities the prices are the lowest in forty years. Few good driving horses or roadsters are reported, but a great multitude of very ordinary ftirin work horses and scrubs. It seems doubtful if there will be a rise in prices under present c ndltfons. and would indicate that farmers must adopt better methods in breeding. Pastures —Under the influence of the fall rains the pastures have revived in most of the States. In same p aces they are the best ever known. This is proving a gre it blessing to the farmers with short hay and fodder crops. It will give a bountiful supply of food till the frost kills it and w ill send the cattle into winter in better condition than usual. THE FOE OF VICE. Rev. W. G. Clarke, the Parkhurst of the Windy City. As New York looked upon Rev. Dr. Parkhurst two years ago, so the citizens of ( hicago are now regarding

Were c intending with, and at once planned for the suppression of that vice. He organized tho Civic Federation consisting of some of the best people of the v\ indy City. Then he enlisted the aid of constables and detectives and a concerto 1 move was made upon the gambling houses. The effort to raid these establishments resulted in a number of tights, in which club-, and revolvers were usel and several | ersons were injured, but at last the reverend gentleman and his posse succeeded iu landing several scores of gamblers behind the bar . He has since -ecured their indictment While gambling has not been entirely su; pros ed, the majority of the houses have been closed and there has been a large dec>easo in the profits of those which are running. Mr. Clark's next move will be again-t immoral houses. He is at present the most talked-about man in Chicago and a large number are advocating his elevation to tho mayoralty at the next election.

CHINA .MUST SETTLE. REPARATION DEMANDED FOR THE CHUNG KING AFFAIR. Great Brittan Insists that Taotai Sheng Be Degraded and that a Money Indemnity Be Paid for the Seizure of Japanese Passengers.

Tho British officials in Shanghai have s nt an ultimatum to the Chinese V iceroy demanding a settlement of the Chung King affair The Briti-h demands are that Taotai Sheng be dismissed amt degraded, the Chung King is to be saluted with twenty-one guns from the Tuku forts, and a money indemni'y is to be paid to the < vvners of the Chung King If these demands are not complied with within the specified time, reprisals upon the part of the British fleet are threatened.

qi'l-lA VICTORIA S DOLts. Messrs. George Newnes. limited, of London, England, announce that Miss Low's illustrated account of the Queen’s dolls will be ready for publication soon. The interest excited a few months since by the article in the Strand Magazine, which described some of the dolls which her Majesty had dressed and played with in her childhood, has suggest! d the issue in a more complete form of a permanent record of the amusements which brightened the isolation of her high rank even in the days of infancy. The volume is published with the gracious permission and approval of her Majesty. Os the one hundred and thirty-two dolls preserved. the queen herself dres-ed no fewer than thirty-two—sometimes with the assistance of Baroness Lehzen, whose help is scrupulously recorded in the “List of My Dolls, '' but generally alone. Those which are presented in this volume, with all the advantages of color punting, are, for the most part, theatrical personages and court ladies. HONEST WITH HIMSELF. Little Frankie was forbidden to touch the sewing machine, and as he was generally a pretty obedient boy, his mother, auntie, and his auntie’s friend were much surprised one afternoon to find the thread badly tangled and the needle broken. ' Frankie was, without doubt, the culprit, and he was called before the family tribunal of justice. “Frankie, did vou touch the sewing machine?” asked mamma severely. des, mamma, was the tremulous answer.
