ncMovixc TiuiAsi nns. Chinese Fenr the Capture of Mukden Anti-Foreign Feeling. LONDON. Oct. 2. A dispatch to the Dally News from Vienna says It has been harned that China Is transferrins' all the Imperial treasures from Mukden to Jehol, beyond the great wall, whither Emperor Hlen Jons fled from the Anglo-French armies In 1S60. A dispatch from Shanghai says the antlforeisn feeling at Pekin is Increasing hourly, and the authorities find It difficult to repress outbreaks upon the part of the Chinese population. Thj leading Chinese represent lives at Fekin fear that If the Japanese march upon Pekin the capital will be captured, as the Chinese soldiers gathered there to defend it are dissatisfied and unreliable. A dipatch from Toklo says: Advices from I'inff Yang give a circumstantial account of the finding of .General Yen's body among the killed after the battle at that place. It 1 also stated that the Japanese are shipping their prisoners in transports from C;iemu)io and that the Japanese commissioners are making rapid progress in the work of pacifying Corea. The correspondent of the Times at Paris, noting that Corea contains GOO.000 Catholic and 70rt,M Protestants and Greek Christians, making altogether over a quarter of the population, says that the war has a character in the eyes of the European powers of which account has not hitherto been taken. I A PAX KS K PA II LI A M EXT. It Will filve the Emperor Fnll Support In Prosecuting the Wnr. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. The Japanese legation has received late advices as to the political complexion of the Japanese Parliament, which was recently elected and is about to convene. It shows that the Emperor will have solid support in prosecuting the war. The parties differ somewhat on Internal matters, but all of them share In the popular feeling. As yet no "peace party" has made its appearance. The Radicals Jhave elected 110 members, ten short of their strength in the last Parliament. It is the party most relied on by the government On a split in the Radical ranks thirty have been re-elected under a new name and on a new issue. The war is expected to unite the divided factions, giving the government 110 Radical votes. The Progressionists have elected fifty, the Conservatives thirty and the Independents forty. The latter are claiming the balance of power among the factions. In any event, the elections have shown that there would be no division on the war issues, and the forthcoming Parliament will give heavy appropriations for the army and navy. A feature of the elections was the defeat of Oi Kentara and Mr. Abbe, the most violent leaders to the opposition to the government The Japanese officials here say that late advices show the feeling in Japan is not of the boisterous "on to Pekin" sort, but is a conservative sentiment that China has injured Japan, and that the time for a final settlement has arrived. The purpose of Japan is declared to be not one of conquest, and one of her foremost public men has stated that Japan's purpose was to place the two empires side by side, so that they might hereafter proceed hand in hand ia the progress of the East. STREWX AVITII DEAD. Decks of the War Ship Chen-Yuen After he Ynln riKht. LONDON. Oct 2.-A fcmisa naval officer attached "to the Chinese naval squadron which was engaged in the fight oft the mouth, of the ralu river, has written a latter to the Graphic in which he gives additional details of the fighting and says: "On board the war ship Chen-Yuen the flghting was . awful. The decks and the space around the guns were strewn with human fragments. Three of five men workIns a four-ton gun were blown to pieces by a shell from the Japanese war ship Naniwa. The fourth gunner was shot while trying to escape from the turret and the fifth stuck to his post. This man fired three rounds at the Naniwa, one shell entering the engine room of the Japanese ihip and another smashing her fore bridge. Th Naniwa then hauled ofT. The Chinese admiral rewarded the surviving gunner with a present of 1.000 taels. A lieutenant whi was in the act of speaking through the tube leading to the engine room was blown into fragments and his head left hanging to the speaking pipes. A European ngineer who was in the act of groping about in an endeavor to repair a steam f ipe was drenched from head to foot with the blood of an assistant, who was disembowled by his side by a shot from the enemy's ship. The Chen-Yuen arrived at Wti-IIai-Wei the day after ihe fight in the same condition in which she left the battle. No attempt had been made to rash the blood from her or to remove the corpses which strewed her decks." The writer expresses the opinion that if the European rulers could have seen the decks f the Chen-Yuen they would have, foresworn war henceforth and forever.

WATSON IS IN SHELBY

HOLMAVS OPPOXEXT KXOWS HOW TO TALK TO FARMERS. Avoiding Personalities and Fighting the Campaign on a Republican Hnsls Other 3Ieeting;s. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBY VI L.UE, Ind.. Oct 2.-James E. Watson, Republican candidate for Congress in thi3 district against W. S. Ilolman, began his campaign in this county by speaking at London this afternoon. He has been out twenty-four days and has spoken twice a day, and he does not show any of the effects of an arduous campaign. Thousands have listened to his words and he has traveled hundreds of miles. His speech this afternoon was listened to by about one hundred people, a go kI crowd for London, and his welcome was hearty and cordial. He spoke of the tariff as a question of bread and butter which the circumstances of the times thrust to the front in a most practical way. Said he: "Our friends in the Democratic party affirm 'Give us free raw wool and you can get cheaper clothing They assume that wool is a raw material. Wool is as much a finished product when the clip leaves the hands of the farmer as the coat is a finished product when it leaves the hands of the tailor. The farmer's time and labor, added to the cost of the land, compose the cost of the wool. In winter it must be protected and cared for. It takes land on which the sheep may feed. This country raised 300.000,000 pounds last year. Australia took to market 553,000,000 pounds, South America took 300,000,000, and the Cape of Good Hope country 100,000,000. In Australia, the land of perpetual summer, no sheds are needed for protecting the wool. They have practically free land, and natives with rings in their noses and ears can be hired for 5 cents a day to watch the flocks. We can never hope to compete in price with wool raised under those circumstances. Under the McKinley tariff bill In 1892 your wool brought 22 cents a pound. The syndicate price of wool b.x. Liverpool was 11 cents and the tax at our ports was 11 cents. Thus the American farmer reaped the advantage of the American duty. "Let us see if free wool means cheap clothing: In a fifty-dollar suit of clothes there are about four pounds of wool and there is a saving of about 41 cents when the duty of 11 cents a pound is removed. You can't compete with the sheep wool raised on the free land of Australia. The consequence will be you will be sold out of the business and have to quit raising wool in this country. Then when you are out of the business this ryndicate, controlling all the other wool-producing countries of the world, will make you pay whatever price they choose to place on it. You'll then have to buy dear clothing or do without. The protective tariff would increase the number of sheep raised, and the profits of the industry would go to the American farmer. "The American farmer ought to have the American market. The Democrats did not carry out their promise of $1.23 for a bushel of wheat when Cleveland was elected for the reason that as soon as they took their seat3 the'r threats of a tariff for revenue only stopped the wheels of the factories. They destroyed your market and It was wandering up and down the land in Coxey's armies and the like. Every man who left his bench or loom reduced the size of your market just that much. Without a tariff on wheat the wheat of India can be laid down at New York cheaper than yours can. The railroad rate on hay from Rushvllle to Buffalo, the great Eastern market for that article, is $4. In 1S92 the tariff duty on imported hay was the same. Your hay could compete on an equality with the Canadian product With that duty removed you cannot compete, and Canadian hay is sold at Buffalo . $1 cheaper than you can offer it. "In many of the large cities there are whole families working for $1 a day, making clothing and shirts. Of what value to you is a market composed of people like that? We all object to the importation of contract labor, but we might as web' let the man in as admit his product. Millions come here in rags from countries where this cheap clothing the Democrats talk of is plenty. But what, use is cheap clothing to the man who does not have lhft money to buy? So it is after all a question of labor and wages. If we were willing to adopt the scale of foreign wages the country would move forward without any delav." After this Mr. Watson took up the pension legislation and the treatment of the Union veterans by the administration, and demonstrated that the saving In the government running expenses had been at the expense of the pensions which had been given to Union soldiers. At night he spoke to a large crowd at Boggstown. GREENSRURG, Ind.. Oct 2. Yesterday afternoon Hon. James E. Watson spoke to the people of Ripley and Decatur counties at Lock Springs, in the southwest part of Ripley county. He spoke in a grove, and had an audience of farmers, who gave him their undivided attention. He presented the tariff as the real issue of the day, and was warmly congratulated at the conclusion of his speech. M. D. Tackett, of Greensburg, was . present, and was called out from the audience. He urged the people to vote for Watson and elect a man who would fittingly represent the whole people of the Fourth district. At nisht Watson spoke at that historical town. Napoleon. Here he was greeted with an audience of five hundred. His speech occupied two hours In dellverey, and was listened to with earnest attention. THE IIEI1REWS OFFEXDED. They Will Holt the Democratic Ticket in Eleventh District. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., Oct.' 2. A. N. Martin, Democratic candidate for Congress in this district. Is now completing his canvass of Wabash county, and it has from start to finish been a most dismal failure. At Somerset Llncolnvllle, Lafontaine, Lagro, Laketon, Roann'and North Manchester his meetings have attracted scarcely a corporal's guard, and many always left before he had finished speaking. Major Steele has made a careful personal canvass of the county and has been greeted warmly everywhere. He has delivered no speeches, but his work has been effective. This week he Is in the east end of the district, and he says that he sees no reason to revise his prediction of 1,500 plurality, unless it be to raise the figures. There is not a doubt in the minds of Wabash politicians of either party of the election of Major Steele. In this city, on account of his brutal snub of Jerome HeriT, it 1s said Martin will not receive a dozen liebrew votes, mast of which should be reliably Democratic. Ontdrew the Democrats. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . JEFFERSON VI LLE, Ind., Oct 2. The complete success of the Republican meeting in this city last night, taking place under the existing conditions, was a source of great satisfaction to the Republicans of this city, and still continues the subject of conversation. Senators Voorhees and Turpie and Congressman Brown addressed the Democracy at Mozart Hall, while the Republican meeting had for its speaker Warren G. Sayre, and had fully five hundred more people than the Democratic meeting. Hon. It. J. Tracewell. Republican candidate for Congress, happened in the city, and, repairing to the Armory, w'here the meeting was held, was given such an ovation that the many Democrats present were surprised to see such a Republican demonstration in old Clark county. Mr. Tracewell and Colonel McGinness, of New Albany, and Harry Poindexter, candidate for Representative, followed Mr. Sayre, and entertained the fifteen hundred people present. The Republicans have hopes of carrying the county, and from the indications they have ample ground to t'.ilnk that they will be successful. Mnyor Dunlin at Falrtiionttt. Special to the Indianapoiis .lournal. FAIR MOUNT. Ind., Oct. i Mayor Dunlap, of Anderson, spoke to an enthusiastic crowd of Republicans in Parker's Opera House to-ni:ht.

of the Methodist Camp Meeting Association. .The speaker was Worthington R. Robinson, of Detroit Mr. Robinson visited Europe last year on a tour of investigation as to the lot of the wage earners across the waters. He painted a doleful picture of the condition of the people there and said if the people of this country desired c similar state of affairs all they had to do was to keep on voting the Democratic ticket. If they wanted to Improve their condition they should turn the country once more into the conservative, wise hands of General Harrison or some other equally good Republican with fL Republican. Congress. Heard elson After Thirty Years. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GOSPORT, Ind., Oct. 2. Hon. Thomas H. Nelson, of Terre Haute, spoke at this place last night. Downey's Opera Hall was crowded, a number coming in from the country.

BY GOOD MAJORITIES MANY TOWXS IX CONNECTICUT CAPTURED BY HEPUBLICAXS. Unprecedented Gain Throughout the State Deraoerntle Strongholds Won for the Flmt Time In Years. . NEW HAVEN. Conn., Oct 2. Returns from one hundred towns In Connecticut show unprecedented gains for the Republicans in the elections yesterday. Towns that have not elected Republican officers In years went Republican by good majorities. In Waterbury the A. P. A. movement aroused the Catholics, who succeeded in electing an entire School Board of their own faith. In New Britain the no-license vote of one year ago was reversed. The liquor question has been under constant discussion during the year. In almost all towns where the A. P. A. made a fight they met with defeat Meriden, Norwich, Mlddletown and New Mllford, which have been Democratic for years, were captured by the Republicans, but New London elected a Democratic Mayor, displacing a Republican. The Republicans, however, captured all the other officers. FLORIDA'S KLECTIOX. Democratic How Prevent the Polling: of 3Inny Votes. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 2. The State and county election held in this city to-day resulted in a tangle which the courts will probably be needed to straighten. The fight was between two factions of the Democratic party, and bid fair to be a close one. Early this morning, in consequence of fraud having been threatened by the faction holding the appointing power. of inspectors, three deputy sheriffs walked into each polling place and signified their intention of remaining. The Inspectors all over the city thereupon closed the voting Dooms, awaiting instructions trom the leaders. A compromise was effected in several of the outlying wards in a short time and voting was resumed, but in the Fourth. Fifth and Sixth, three of the most populous wards in the city, not a vote was cast, owing to a failure to agree upon any arrangement, and in consequence of this tangle out of a qualified vote of 5,000 In Duval county only a small proportion was polled. Governor Mitchell yesterday ordered Adjutant-general Houston to this city, and all day the State troops were held under arms at their quarters, but were not needed, as not one drop of bloodshed was due to the political struggle. The main issues of the factional fight were a railroad commission and alleged attempt of a railroad corporation to capture the next Legislature, and nowhere has the bitterness grown tq such Intensity as In Duval county. Throughout the State LIddon. for' Supreme Court justice, has met with practically no opposition. The Populists cast a very small vote for their ticket. A Detent for Senator Call.

NEGLECT OF A CORPSE. Hrs. Harriet ISoyilen Found Dead in a MCrriil-Street House Coroner Heck was yesterday called to No. 319 West Merrill street to investigate a singular death. Harriet Hoyden, a woman fifty years of age, had died some time during the night, but the coroner was unable to find a member of ner family who could give an intelligent account of the demise. Mrs. Boyden lived with her son, who is grown up, and a little grandchild. Neither were at home when the coroner called at the house yesterday morning. The place seemed to be desolate and there was no response to his rap on the front door. After waiting some time he pushed open the door and walked Into the front room. The stench that came from a bedroom led him there, and he found the body. The dead woman had been prepared for burial by an undertaker, but there was no one in the house to attend the corpse. A swarm of flies had settled on the body, which lay in the center of the room. The only person who appeared to lenow anything about tne woman's death was Mrs. Van Pelt, of No. 41 Valley street. She said Mrs. Boyden had been taking medicine for heart trouble. She had also been receiving treatment at the City Dispensary. Monday. Mrs. Van Pelt cgdled at the house and cooked an egg for Mrs. Boyden, but she was too ill to eat. Mrs. Van Pell thoughtlhe sick woman was under the influence of bl drug. Ttie coroner found another neighbor who had visited the housi Monday afternoon. Mrs. Boyden's son and grandchild lay upon the bed, and wer aroused with difficulty. The son had said there was nothing wrong. Dr. Beck found in the room where the dead woman lay a bottle of medicine which bore the City Dispensary label. Dr. Eastman, of that institution, remembered that Mrs. Boyden had been receiving treatment for a ?erlous heart affection. He had a few days ago given her a tonic with instructions to come to the dispensary so that her case could be examined. The undertaker who was called to prepare the body for burial sMd it was. about 2 o'clock yesterday morning when he was summoned. Mrs. Hoyden's son was in the house at that hour, but left on the arrival of the undertaker. At .8 o'clock yesterday morning, several hours after the woman's death, a man called at the City Dispensary and asked that a physician be sent to her. Coroner Beck thinks death was due to valvular disease of the heart. Tribulations for "Joyful Oil."
