A decisive engagement. London, Sept. 18.—Japuq is in practical possession of Corea. It has routed ( the Chinese army in the first big land engagement that lias taken place, and routed it so thoroughly that China will be powerless urAil she can send another army to Corea. The Chinese losses, according to a dispatch received from Seoul, are placed at 10.000 killed, while the Japanese only lost thirty killed and 270 wounded. The en- ! tire 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 Corean soil. On Thursday a Japanese column from Pong San made a reeonnoisance s in force, drawing the tire of the Chinese forts, and thus ascer- : tained their positions. Tlie column I then fell back in good order, with 1 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 tlie Chinese, tlie Pong San column threatening the Cliiuesc center, while the llwang-Ju column operated against tlie right, which had been reenforced tlie day before by a detachment of marines from the licet at the mouth of the Taitong river. The Chinese had utilized the old defenses at Ping-Yang and had thrown up new works, making tlie position an exceptionally strong one. 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 by tlie Japanese and maintained a rille tire upon the enemy until dusk. Throughout the day only the Pong San column was engaged. Tlie | Chinese defenses suffered greatly, I but tlie losses on either side j were small, botli the Chinese I and Japanese having taken advan- , tage of all the shelter available. At 3 o'clock Sunday morning an at- ! tack was made by tlie Japanese coli limns simultaneously and with adI nflrable precision. The Chinese lines, which were so strong in front, ! were found to be weak in the rear, and here tlie attack was a perfect I success. The Chinese were com- ' pletely taken by surprise and were I thrown into a panic. Hundreds were | cut down, and those who escaped | death, finding themselves surrounded at every point, broke and fled. Some 1 of Viceroy Li Hung Chang's Euro- ! pean-drilled troops stood their ground , to the eastward and were cut down to

l a man.

The Pong San column, swarming over the defenses in front, completed tlie rout. Half an hour after the attack was opened the positions at Ping Yang were in possession of the Japanese. It is estimated that 20,000 Chinese sol- ! diers were engaged in the battle. The ] Japanese captured immense stores of I provisions, munitions of war and hun1 dred.s of colors. The Chinese loss is estimated at 10,- ; 000 killed, wounded, and taken prisoners. Among those captured by tlie Japanese are several of the Chinese commanding officers, including TsoFung, commander in chief of tlie Manchurian army, who was severely wounded. The Japanese loss is only thirty killed and 270 wounded, including eleven officers. Most of the casualties among the Japanese occurred during the first day's fighting, and very few were tlie result of the night attack. The Japanese forces are in active pursuit of the fugitives, who have thrown away their arms and readily yield themselves prisoners. So far ns the active operations of tlie Chinese in Corea are concerned the war is practically at an end for a long time to come, and tlie mainland of Corea may be said to be completely in the hands of the Japanese. The CoYeans have shown sympathy with the Chinese and a few detached hands of Chinese troops may continue a guerrilla warfare for some time to come; I but until China succeeds in getting j another army into Corea that country will remain in tlie undisturbed | possession of Japan. And, in 1 view of previous reports received

j as to the terrible condition of the roads in the north and the utter impossibility of moving guns and supplies southward, it is not likely that there will lie any more fighting of importance in Corea during the present year. The Japanese ure naturally highly elated over their victory, and it is hoped that it may serve as the basis for peace negotiations. Washington, Sept. 18.—Otlieial confirmation has been received at the Japanese legation of a general engagement between the Chinese and Japanese forces at King Yang, near the northern frontier of Corea, on the 15th inst., resulting in a decisive victory for the Japanese forces. No official information lias yet been received at the legation of the progress of the fighting in the vicinity of

Pekin.

at a Fire In Washington.

Washington, Sept, la—Five persons known to have lost their lives, four missing and three injured and taken to the hospital is the record of a fire Monday in Stumph .fcros.' mattress factory. The dead are Willie Ashe, W. H. Tennyson, James F. Vaughan and two unknown men. The injured are A. J. llaske, both legs broken, will die; A. C. Bevins, wrist broken and internally injured; Harry Bacon, internally injured. Those missing are Philip Aekman, Henry Fowler, Robert Reitzel

and an unknown man.

The factory stood at the intersection of Seventh and K streets and Massachusetts avenue, a five-story structure with thin brick walls, windows only at back and front, and no fire escape. It was stored with feathers, shavings and other inflammable materials and twenty-five persons were at work in it. six of whom were young women. The fire started in the picking room at the front of the second floor. Almost before the alarm could be given to tlie workmen it had spread through the second story and burst up

the elevator shaft.

The escape of those on tlie upper floors was cut off. They stood in tlie windows shouting for help, while hundreds on tlie streets, unable to give them assistance, yelled for them to wait for tlie hook and ladder. Three men were soon on the roof, two of them gesticulating frantically, while the other leaned calmly against a chimney waiting. Policeman Phil Brown found a ladder and with tlie help of two stalwart men dragged a mattress to the roof of a blacksmith shop beneath tlie eaves of the factory. W hile these preparations were under way llaske jumped from the roof, whirling over and over in the air and striking on liis side. Bevins jumped from tlie roof and was caught on the mattress held by Policeman Brown and others. Vaughn leaped headlong, so that in the force of his fall lie tore through tlie mattress if it hud been a blanket. Bacon

The Amateur FUherman. It wai a stalwart fisherman, who bought a hundred flies. And vowed that other fishermen he straightway would surprise B; catching trout by thousands—though he’d never fished before; He'd thought the task was easy as he'd watched it from the shore. He got a boat and anchored In the middle of the pond. And had his family watching from n hillock Just beyond. But when he swooped hU rod about. It mad« him feel quite flat To have the hook catch In the brim of his broad fishing hat. ••Well, accidents will happen; we'll do better now," he said. And gave his rod a triple swoop around about his head. His childrop gheered to note his grace, but It did chance, alack! This time the hook, by some odd freak, caught squarely in his back. ••Once more I'll try,” be proudly cried; “In numbers odd there's luck." And then he had a chance to show if he wat like a duck, For, as the fly went hurtling through the air, amid the peals Of happy laughter from his friends, he went la head o er heels. • And that Is why that very expert flshlnginan, they say. Hath never tried to fish again since that Illfated day: And that is also why It is folks say he know* not beans Because his favorite fish is not the trout, but canned sardines. —Harper's Bazar. •• Without Tore All Is Night.” There is no blue upon the sides, Upon the hills no i low, Above a sea of darkness rolls, A cloud of gloom below. The stars from hen . i n are blotted out, The hills are sunk from sight; The living glow of earth and sky is robed in darkest night. But darker than the starless sides, Or clouds of night cun be, The absence of thy cheerful face, And pleasant smile from me.
