JAPS WIN A BATTLE.

The Chinese Army Suffers a Crushing Defeat. The Decisive Engagement at Ping TangOat of 30.000, 16,000 Are Slain— As a Result the War Is Practically Ended. A COMPLETE BOUT. Londox, Sept. 19. —Japan is in practical possession of Corea. It has routed the Chinese army in the first big land engagement that has taken place, and routed it so thoroughly that China will be powerless nntil she can send another army to Corea. The Chinese losses, according to a dispatch received from Seoul, are placed at 16.000 killed, while the Japanese only lost thirty killed and 270 wounded. The entire Chinese army —at least what was left of it—was put to rout and scattered in every direction, leaving no large organized Chinese force on Core an soil. The Battle Begins On Thursday a Japanese column from Pong San made a reconnoisance In force, drawing the fire of the Chinese forts, and thus ascertained their positions. The column then fell back in good order, with little loss. By Friday night all the Japanese were in position for a combined attack upon the enemy. The Gensam column threatened the left

flank of the Chinese, the Pong San col- I limn threatening the Chinese center, while the Hwang-Ju column operated against the right, which had been reenforced the day before by a detachment of marines from the fleet at the month of the Taitong river. The Chinese bad utilized the old defenses at Ping-Yang and had thrown up new works, making the position an exceptionally strong one. Go-id Work with Heavy Guns. The battle was opened on Saturday at daybreak by a Japanese cannonade of the Chinese works, which was continued without cessation until afternoon, the Chinese responding. The work with the heavy guns showed good practice. At about 2 o'clock a body of infantry was thrown forward toy the Japanese and maintained a rifle fire upon the enemy until dusk. Throughout the day only the Pong San column was engaged. The Chinese defenses suffered greatly, but the losses on either side were small, both the Chinese end Japanese having taken advantage of all the shelter available. The Japanese troops, however, had gained some advance in the positions. The firing continued at intervals during the night and in the meantime two Japanese flanking columns had formed a cordon around the Chinese.

Cut Them Down. At 3 o'clock Sunday morning an at-' tack was made by the Japanese columns simultaneously and with admirable precision. The Chinese lines, which were so strong' in front, were found to be weak in the rear, and here the attack was a perfect success. The Chinese were completely taken by surprise and were thrown into a panic. Hundreds were cut down, and those who escaped death,, finding themselves surrounded at ever3 r point, broke and 'fled. Some of Viceroy Li Hung Chang’s Euro-pean-drilled troops stood their ground to the e astward and were cut down to a man.

GRAND ARMY AT PITTSBURGH.

Twenty-Eighth National Encampment of the Heroee of ’Ol-65. Pittsbubgh, Pa., Sept. 14. —After one of the most heated contests in the h is tory of the order CoL Thomas G. Lawler, of Rockford, 111., has been elected commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, defeating his only opponent. Col. Ivan N. Walker, of Indianapolis, by the narrow majority of 11 in a total vote of 649. The other elections for national board positions were soon settled, as there were but few contests and all were withdrawn before taking the ballot. The successful candidates were: Maj. A. P. Burchfield, senior vice commander in chief, of Pittsburgh; Charles 11. Shute, junior vice commander in chief, of New Orleans; 0. W. Weeks, surgeon general in chief, of Marion, 0.; Rev. T. H. Haggerty, chaplain in chief, of Missouri. The Daughters of Veterans met during the morning and elected officers. Mrs. Ellen M. Walker, of Worcester, Mass., was chosen president.

Gordan, of Kansas, reported that the organization lias over 10,000 members and has expended 535,000 during the year. ■ Mrs. Emma Wallace, of Rockford, 111., was elected president.

As a fitting close to the magnificence and splendor of the event came the last-thing on the official programme, the fireworks and general illumination Thursday night. The entertainment was of a magnificent sort. Every decoration and illumination was displayed to the best advantage by thousands of dazzling lights. The mammoth mottoes “Grand Army of the Republic welcome” placed on the great hills overlooking each city, were lighted. Search lights, operated from points of equal vantage, swept the city with their piercing rays, while the climax was reached by the thousands of private illuminations on all the principal streets. The entire city glowed under the magic influences and dazzling radiances of thousands of lights. The fireworks were £et off from a barge moored in the center of the Monongahela river, near its junction with the Allegheny, set pieces being erected on the opposite bank. This left the entire wharf along the south side of the city open to sightseers, while the hills overlooking both rivers commanded excellent views.

CONDITION OF TRADE.

R. G. Don A Co.'s Review for the Week of an*Eneour:ising Nature. Ts New lobk. Sept. 17.- R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review ol trade says: “Business has met no setback this week, and continues larger than earlier In August and larger than a year ago. direcly after the panic. The country has now passed nearly three weeks under the new tariff, and all admit that changes have been of less Importance as yet than was expected. If in some branches business has materially increased. It has gained a little or has fallen off in others. Loss in some directions is explained by crop reports, for the most favorable estimates of experts put the loss of corn as about 40j.0u0.009 bushels. whereas the government report is by some interpreted as meaning a loss of 1.000.000.000 bushels. The opinion of the trade does not favor the official estimate, and the price has not risen at all during the week; though receipts have been very small, exports have practically ceased, and all realize that the shrinkage of 400.000,000 bushels is serious, if it proves to be no greater, since it must affect prices of meats for a year or more. Pork is unchanged, but lard has risen 30 cents per 100 pounds. Nor are official reports encouraging as to wheat. Western receipts in two weeks have been 11.184.087 bushels, against 10.67 1,7f1l last year, and Atlantic exports only 2, 074.790, against 5.100.382 ast year, and the price Is onehalf cent lower. Considerable injury Is officially reported to cotton, but few expect less than 8.50U.000 bales, which is more than enough, and the price Is a sixteenth lower. The great increase in iron production, which was noted as following the removal of coke difficulties, is measured by the capacity of furnaces in blast September 1 namely: 151.113 tons, against 1 15.336 August 1, and the unsold stocks also decreased 53.0£4 tans during the month. Le-s activity is seen in dry goods, the rush of postponed business having abated, and there is more disposition to defer purchases because of somewhat general advances in cotton goods and because London wool sales are expected to make theoutlook clearer. Strikes in cotton mills have not ceased and stocks of print cloths shrink rapidly, but some question whether recent advances in price can be maintained with important additions to the present force. "Failures in the first week of September as yet reported show liabilities cf oniy 81.4:X>.0<0, of which H 13.120 was of manufacturing and 1937.450 of trading concerns. The aggregate of liabilities reported for August is *10.607.513 This week the failures have been 207 in the I United States, against 314 last year, and 44 in Canada, against 27 lust year."

FOUGHT AT SEA.

Dopcnte fingVTßtat Bstw-cn ' 1 lnra« and Japanese Warships. Shanghai, Sept 19.—A naval engagement has taken place off Yalu, where a Chinese squadron was coverering the landing of a large force. The landing was effected with success, but in the meantime a Japanese fleet made an attack. In the fighting that followed the Chinese warship Chip Yuen was sunk by the fire of the attacking fleet. The Yang W ei, also belonging to' the Chinese squadron, in attempting to get out of the range of fire or in maneuvering for a position was run aground, where she remained. One other Chinese ship is reported to have been sunk. The Japanese are also reported to have sustained a heavy loss, three of their vessels having been sunk by the fire from the Chinese. Admiral Ting ant 1 Maj. Ilannikin are reported having been killed during the attack. No estimates are made of the losses by either side. The latest reports of the number of Chinese killed during the battle of Ping Yang places the total at 0,600. The Chinese prisoners who were not wounded were paraded Monday morning in a circle of Japanese troops, and they numbered 14,500. It is probable, however, that this number will be increased during the next few days by the prisoners who are being constantly brought in by the Japanese cavalry. Many of the Chinese captured were found hiding in the quiet portions of the city. Besides Gen. Tso Fonu-Wai, commander n chief of the Monchurian army, who fought desperately to the last and only surrendered when he was badly wounded, the Japanese captured four other important commanders of the Chinese forces —namely, Gen. Tso Paok IVoi, Gen. AVei Ink Wei. Gen. Nayu Kow Eng and Gen. Sei Kin Lin, practically all the effective Chinese staff. Shanghai, Sept. 19. —An imperial edict has been issued depriving Viceroy Li Hung Chang of his tliree-eyed peacock feather because of his mismanagement of the Corean campaign.
