THE WAR IN THE EAST. lAtsr Reports from the Two Great Roeent Encasements, Shanghai, Sept. 21.—Early reports of the great naval battle in Yalu bay between Japanese and Chinese forces have been confirmed. Both sides are yet claiming the victory. Tha loss was very heavy on both sides, the Japanese having three vessels sunk during the engagement while the Chinese lost two, including the flag ship, Chin Yuen, the pride of the Chinese navy. Early dispatches reported the loss of this boat, but it was supposed it had been confounded with the Chao Yung. The latter was rammed so hard that she was beached in order to avoid capture by the Japanese. The Chinese claim they defeated the Japaneso fleet This claim is not entirely indorsed by the correspondent at Port Arthur, which lies across the Gulf of Corea from the scene of the engagement He says he lias seen some of the Chinese officers who took part in the battle, and from wliat he gleaned from them it is apparent they did not believe their fleet had been victorious. Shanghai,- Sept. 23.—Field Marshal Yamagata, commanding the Japanese forces in Corea, is marching with 45,000 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 difficult. The Chinese will make a desperate effort to hold their ground nnd a fierce conflict is expected when the opposing forces meet. The advance of the Japs hears out the idea of their determination to force their way to the interior and take possession of Pekin. The value of the stores and ammunition captured by the Japanese at Ping Yang is reported to be 83,000,000. London, Sept. 22.—Dispatches received here from Shanghai say that the total number of tiie Chinese fleet engaged in the battle fought off the mouth of the Yalu river was twelve warships and four torpedoboats. Tiie Japanese fleet, it is added, was composed of seventeen ships, some of which were small wur vessels. The Chinese claim to have sunk the Japanese warships Abiishima and Yosslna iin<( a Japanese transport which had been converted into a cruiser and named the Saiko. A private report received here from Shanghai declares that these vessels were not sunk, as the Chinese claim, lmt that they retirecj from the action in a disabled condition. It is reported that the Chinese transport Toonan was sunk nftcr she had landed her troops, but this is thought to be probably incorrect. The report that Admiral Ting and Col. Von Hannckin were severely wounded seems to he incorrect, for they have both returned to duty. . The officials of the Japanese legation here have received a private cable message from Yokohama saying that on September 16 twelve Chinese warships encountered nine Japanese ships, with tiie result that after severe fighting the Chinese lost four vessels and tiie Japanese none. London, Sept. 24.—The Berlin correspondent of (lie Standard say.s that negotiations are in progress between Germany, England and Russia relative to the war between China and Japan, and that identical instructions will probably bo sent to their respective ministers at lick ill, Lon don. Sept. 24.—A dispat ell* to the Central News from Shanghai dated 0 p. in., September 21, says; "The commanding officers of four of the Chinese warships were killed in the engagement off the month of the Yalivrivcri Admiral Ting was wounded in the cheek and leg. hut in neither ease seriously. Five of the transport ships are still missing. Three Chinese transports are reported to have been Captured. All of the Chinese warships that were not sunk are badly damaged. The Japanese ships arc preparing for another attack.V Washington, Sept. 24.—Dispatches received at the Japanese legation here give further confirmation of the sea fight off Yalu and add the Interesting information that the empress of Japan, ns chief patroness of the Red Cross society in that yountry, is personally engaged dally with her court ladies in preparing bandages, lints, etc., for the wounded Chinese as well as Japanese engaged in the recent great battles of Ping Yang and Yalu. The activity of the empress in personally directing the humane work of the Red Cross while the emperor lias gone to the front is a source of pride among the Japanese officials here. Mr. Kurino, the new Japanese minister, was in consultation with. Secretary Gresham for some time in pursuance of the negotiation of anew treaty of trade and commerce, which will contain no assertion of the right of extra-territorial jurisdiction by the United States in Japan. I'hol a lllrlo Lexington, Ky., Sept. 24. —In a sensational altercation with James Livingston, an Owens man, in the l'hcenix hotel, Desha Breckinridge attempted to stab Livingston. Livingston, in a moment of desperation, readied for the glittering blade, which Breckinridge had aimed at his heart. The knife went between the second and third fingers of Livingston's right hand, cutting tiie third finger to the bone. Desha seemed to desire no more blood and gave Livingston two hard kicks. The hotel clerk nnd several bystanders ruslied in and seized Breckinridge, nnd at the same instant Malt Lane, a strong Breckinridge man, ran up and said he would take a hand in helping Deslm. Two witnesses say that Lane also flourished a big knife, but Lane denies this. Livir.gstoa was hurried into the wash-room, where ills wounds were bathed, und he was then taken to the office of a physician, where Ills hand whs dressed. The Anna Weise murder case, on trial at Marshalltown, ia>, ended in the acquittal of Mrs. llennett.

The convention gave Ilannahan another slap by reducing his salary from $4,330 yearly to $2,500 and leaving those of other grand lodge offleersundisturbed. Twelve thousand dollars was voted for the relief of firemen who went out during the Lehigh Valley strikes who are still idle. Grand Master Sargent nnd Grand Secretary and Treasurer Arnold were directed by the convention to remove the headquarters from Terre Haute to a place selected by them. After listening to a speech from Eugene V. Debs the convention adjourned finally, to meet two years hence at Galveston, Tex. - BOSTON~TAILORS STRIKE.

THE HIGHEST AWARD. Bopri Baking Powder In Strength and Paine 20 Per Cent. A bore It* Keareet Competitor. , The Royal Raking Powder has the en viable record of having received the highest award for articles of its classgreatest strength, purest ingredients, most perfectly combined—wherever ex* hibited in competition with others. la the exhibitions of former years, at tha Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at tha various State and Industrial fairs,where it has been exhibited, judges have invariably awarded the Royal Raking Powder the highest honors. At the recent World's Fair the examinations for the baking powder awards were made by the experts ol the chemical division of the Agricultural Department of Washington. Tha official report of the tests of the baking powders which were made by this department for the specific purpose of ascertaining which was the best, and which has been made public, shows the leavening strength of the Royal to be 160 cubic inches of carlxmic gas per ounce of powder. Os the cream of tartar baking powders exhibited at the Fair, the next highest in strength thus tested contained but 133 cubic inches of leavening gas. Tho other powders gave an average of 111. Tho Royal, therefore, was found of 20 per cent, greater leavening strength than its nearest competitor, and 44 per cent, above the average of all the other tests. Its superiority in other respects, however, in the quality of food it makes as to fineness, delicacy and wholesomeness, could not be measured by figures. It is these high qualities, known and appreciated by the women of the country for so many years, that have caused the sales of the Royal linking Powder, as shown by statistics, to exceed the sales of all other baking powders combined.

Two Stepping Stones to consumption are ailments we often deem trivial —a cold and a cough. Consumption thus acquired is rightly termed “Consumption from neglect.” Scott’s Emulsion not only stops a cold but it is remarkably successful where the cough has become deep seated. Scott's Emulsion is the richest of fat-foods yet the easiest fat-food to take. It arrests waste and builds up healthy flesh. Pnptrad by Soott *Bowm,N.Y. All dranliU.
