THE WAR IN THE EAST. Later Report* from the Two Great Rerent Knira^enieiit*. 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. The 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 Japanese 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. Ho says he has seen some of the Chinese officers who took part in the battle, and from what he gleaned from them it is apparent they did not believe their fleet had been victorious. Shanghai, Sept. 22.—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 and a fierce conflict is expected when the opposing forces meet. The advance of the Japs bears 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 $3,000,000. London. Sept. 22.—Dispatches received here from Shanghai say that the total number of the Chinese fleet engaged in the battle fought off the mouth of the Yalu river was [ twelve warships and four torpedoboats. The Japanese fleet, it is added, j was composed of seventeen ships, some of which were small war vessels. The Chinese claim to have sunk the Japanese warships Abushima and Yossina and a Japanese transport which had been converted into a cruis- | er and named the Saiko. A private re- | port received here from Shanghai de- i dares that these vessels were not sunk, as the Chinese claim, but that they retired from the action in a disabled condition. it is reported that the Chinese transport Toonan was sunk after she had landed her troops, but i this is thought to be probably incorrect. The report that Admiral J Ting and Col. Von Hannekin were | severely wounded seems to be incor- j reel, for they have both returned to ]

duty.

The officials of the Japanese lega- j tion here have received a private cable | message from Yokohama saying that I on September 16 twelve Chinese war- | ships encountered nine Japanese ships, with the result that after severe fighting the Chinese lost four vessels and

the Japanese none.

London, Sept. 24.—The Berlin correspondent of the Standard says that negotiations are in progress between Germany, England and Russia relative to the war between China and Japan, and that identical instructions will probably lie sent to their respect-

ive ministers at Pekin.

London. Sept. 24.—A dispatch to the Central News from Shanghai dated 6 p. in.. September 21, says: “The commanding officers of four of the Chinese warships were killed in the engagement off the mouth of the Yalu river. Admiral Ting was wounded in tiie cheek and leg, but 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 are preparing for another at-

tack.”

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, as chief patroness of the Red Cross society' in that country', is personally engaged daily 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 has 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 a new treaty of trade and commerce, which will contain no assertion of the right of extra-territorial jurisdiction by the United Mates in Japan. I <«mI a JHrk. Lexington, Ky., Sopt. 24.—In a sensational altercation with James Livingston, an Owens man, in the Phoenix hotel, Desha Rreckinridge attempted to stab Livingston. Livingston, in a moment of desperation, reached for the glittering blade, which llreckiuridge had aimed at ins heart. The knife went between the second and third fingers of Livingston’s right hand, cutting the third finger to the bone. Desha seemed to desire no more blood and gave Livingston two hard

kicks.

The hotel clerk and several bystanders rushed in and seized Breckinridge, and at the same instant Matt Lane, a strong Breckinridge man, ran up and said lie would take a hand iu j helping Desha. Two witnesses say 1 that Lane also flourished a big knife, but Lane denies this. Livingston was hurried into the wash-room, where his wounds were bathed, and he was then taken to the office of a physician, where his hand was dressed. * The Anna Weise murder case, on trial at Marshalltown, la., ended in the acquittal of Mrs. Bennett.

FIREMEN AND THE STRIKE.

llroi hcrliootl Denounuca Thoa* Who Went

Out ItecauH© of Sympathy.

Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 22.—The Brotherhood of Firemen at its session on Thursday adopted a series of resolutions denouncing the action of those members who struck through sympathy with Pullman strikers; pledging the brotherhood hereafter to abide by all its agreements and to await the action of the grand lodge officers before going out on a strike; protesting against tiie other labor organizations on strike attempting to induce the members of the brotherhood to join them through sympathy, declaring against the position of Vice Grand Master Hannahan in the Pullman strike in advising members not to work with the non-union men, and approving that of Grand Master Sargent and other grand lodge officers. The convention gave Hannahan another slap by reducing his salary from $4,850 yearly to $2,500 and leaving those of other grand lodge officers undisturbed. 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 and 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,

Boston, Sept. 22.—Acting upon the instructions of the Clothing Trades council No. 2, the garmentmakers of tins city to the number of 2,000 struck Thursday morning. Promptly at 7 o’clock the committee having charge of the strike started on their rounds and called the men out systematically, not a contractor being overlooked. This action is the result* of the refusal of a number of contractors to concede to the demands of the union for the abolishment of the “lumping” and “sweating” systems and the introduction of the weekly wage system. The operatives are also desirous of establishing a working day of nine hours with fixed wages. Every man, woman and child responded to the call to stop work.

year.

The Ohio Democracy. Columbus, O., Sept. 21.—The democratic state convention met Wednesday.

THE HIGHEST AWARD, Boy*l Bakin? Powder In Strength nn<t Value 20 Per Cent. Above Its Nearest Com petltor. The Royal Baking Powder has the enviable record of having received tho highest award for articles of its classgreatest strength, purest ingredients, most perfectly combined—wherever exhibited in competition with others. In the exhibitions of former years, at the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at tho various State and industrial fairs, where it has been exhibited, judges have invariably awarded the Royal Baking Powder the highest honors. At the recent World's Fair the examinations for the baking powder awards were made by the experts of tiie chemical division of the Agricultural Department of Washington. The oflieial report of the tests of the baking powders which were made by this department for the specific purpose of ascertaining which was tiie best, and which has been made public, shows tho leavening strength of the Royal to l>e 160 cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce of powder. Of the cream of tartar baking powders exhibited at the Fair, the next highest in strength thus tested contained but 133 cubic inchespf leavening gas. The other powders gave an average of 111. The 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 he 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 Baking Powder, as shown by statistics, to exceed the sales of all other baking powders combined.
