China and Japan Rapidly Prepar ing for the Conflict' The Impression Prevails That Compro mise U Impossible The Loss of Life In the Recent Engagement waa Much Wane than at First Reported. Washington, July 80. There were no developments yesterday in the situ ation between China and Japan at this end of the line. The efforts of Eu ropean governments to secure the con sent of the belligerent powers to ac cept mediation by the United States, bo far as can be learned have not been attended with success. Neither the Chinese nor the Japanese legation in this city has received any information with respect to the matter and the im pression prevails : here, as in Europe, that a compromise is no longer possi ble. While it is understood that the good ofllces of the United States would be most gladly exercised, no advices have been received by the authorities here to indicate that China or Japan will invoke them. London, July 80. The Central News has this dispatch from Shanghai: "The Chinese warehip Tsao-Khan,. I which was captured by a Japanese war ship off the coast of Round island, is a vessel of an obsolete model. Although completely outmatched by the Japan ese cruiser, the troopship offered some resistance and lost fully 100 men, killed and wounded, before she yielded. She was entirely disabled when the Japanese bop rded her. "The troopship Kew-Shung tried to get away as soon as the Japanese war ship began its attack, and made only a weak running fight. The Japanese gun's swept her decks and carried off the Chinese soldiers by the score. The latest estimate of the number aboard her is 1,700. Only forty survived the foundering of the ship. They say that all her officers were killed before she went down. "The anouncement that the rest of the Chinese transports arrived safely at Corea and landed' their men is con firmed. On the 37th the Japanese fusiladed heavily those who had landed on the 26th at Yachan. The Japanese officers hoped thus to prevent the junc tion of' the Chinese with the Coreans near Seoul. Whether they accom plished their object is not known. "No news of the hostilities can be ob tained from Tekin. Code messages are refused at the telegraph offices, and no other messages referring to current af fairs are accepted. The outlying bat talions of the northern army are con centrating rapidly at Takua, the ren dezvous from which the regiments are embarked for Corea. "The work of preparing harbor de fences here advances rapidly. Tor pedoes are betoiglaid in the north chan nel at the entrance of the Yang-Tse-Kiang, Great .quantities of ammuni tion have been purchased by the gov ernment and ara being collected at the ports for shipment. The exportation of rice and grain has been prohibited. Trade is paralyzed. The coasting steamers and small craft are afraid to leave the harbors. While everything looks and .sounds like war, the Chinese officials continue to maintain that war has not been declared." ; Yokohama, July 80. The army and navy reserves have been summoned in to service. The Chinese residents of Japan are fleeing in large numbers. Reliable news has reaced Tokio that the main body of Chinese troops crossed the northwestern frontier of Corea on July 25. In official circles everybody is oonvinced that China's recent negotia tions were a mere subterfuge to gain time and concentrate her forces with a view to combining with the Coreans for an attack. It is rumored that the Japanese ships have been fired on again from the shore. Berlin, July 80. The Vossische Zei tung maintains that Japan will win in the war and blames China for refusing to adhere faithfully to the spirit of her treaties and for trying to keep Corea in barbarism. China, it says, is endeavor ing to stop the progress of civilization in east Asia. The majority of Berlin dailies take this view of the conflict and express the hope that the war will crush the ignorant self-conceit of the Pekin government. The victory of Japan, they say. would mean the re form of the barbarous abuses of Corea's internal affairs, the introduction of proper schools and of telegraphs and railroads and the opening of rich mines. Mr. Debs' Programme. Ticrre Haute, Ind., July 80. Eugene V. Debs, president of the A. R. U., was greeted by one of the largest audiences, at the Opera house last night that ever assembled in this eity. His address on the recent Btrike was a conservative one, and consisted of a plain statement of the causes and results of the confer ence which led to the Pullman boycott., In conclusion Mr. Debs plainly stated, that the fight would be continued in a reform political movement, and he de clared that the present strike would be the last in which he would overtake part. Death of James VuUlgan. Matnabd, Mass., July 80. The man of "Mulligan letter" fame, James Mulli gan, died here Saturday, aged 63. lie was a native of the north of Ireland and came to this country when he was IS years old. Re lived in Boston for a cumber of years, but lately came to re side here. ' ! ' ' Royalists Qnlet at Honsrnjo. - ' San Francisco, J uly 80. The- United Press correspondent at Honolulu, writ ing under date of July 21, per steam ship Australia, which arrived hen Sat urday, says politics is very quiet. All parties appear to accept the rrpoblic nag an established, government and to ac quiesce in the fact that the qxteeralt la a lost cause. Neither of the Englhh. royalist dailies .here have lately ex pressed any desire or hope for her rs toration. Bush and Nawahi in their little native papers still expect natives to cling to hope until the commission to Washington is heard from. BELIEVED TO BE LOST. The Wellnian Arctlo Expedition Reported Lost Experienced Skippers Think Their Veiwel Bui Been Crushed In tbo lee. London, July 23. Carl Sie wers writes to the Standard that he is in receipt of advices from Norway that leave little doubt that the Wellman Arctic expedl- tion is lost. Experienced skippers just returned from the Spitzbergen seas express the same opinion, and Col. Fielding, who accompanied Capt. Nare's expedition in 1875, shares this belief. The Pall Mall Gazette is in receipt of similar advices from Tromso, all confirming the gen-, eral belief in the fate of the expedition. Arctic skippers report that the floe of pack ice and its density this summer would prove irresistible to any vessel however strong. They believe that the Ragnvald-Jan has been crushed in the ice and express the belief that there is a remote chance that the members of the Wellman ex pedition have been saved by managing to get upon an ice floe. In which case, they believe, that the explorers ore in a most dangerous position. ! The Wellman expedition was planned and organized by Walter Wellman, at one time Washington correspondent of the Chicago Herald, which paper fur nishes the financial backing. The idea was to go to the northern coast of Eu rope and there to make their way across the ice to the north. To facilitate their progress they had built in Baltimore two aluminum boats, which they took with them, thinking that their light ness combined with their great strength would be a great advantage. The party, which consisted of Well man, a reporter of the Chicago Herald, and three scientists, sailed for London on the regular steamer and there char tered a vessel to take them north. They stopped at Denmark and Sweden to get dogs, and when they left Tromsoe, the last European port, they had every prospect of. being successful. ANARCHISTS TALK. Titer Propose to Do Away With the Cupl tulist by Maklnc Him Work for a Llv In. , New York, July 25.The two an archists. Charles Wilfred Mowbray and John Most, addressed a public meeting Monday night in Clarendon hall. There was a big contingent of police present under Captain Cross. They had noth ing to do. The audience comprised 650 i persons, of whom, 100 were women. All were working people, and 99 out of a hundred were of foreign birth or ex traction. All were enthusiastic, but vnell behaved. The chairman intro duced Mowbray, who had , entered un known and seated himself on the edge of the platform. lie was received warmly. lie said: - ' "It has been said that we want to do away with capital. That's ridiculously false. Capital is the result of labor. It does not grow in a garden; it is not rained from heaven as it is said was the manna to the children of Israel. I don't believe that happened. I take the other side of the story with Bob Inger solL What we want is not to do away with capital, but to do away with the capitalist. I hope there is nothing in cendiary about that remark. In En gland, under a monarchy, we can say what we choose. Here, under the stars and stripes, we must say what we are' told to say. I mean by doing away with the capitalists, putting them to the hardest punishment they could en dure, making them work for an honest living. War In Corea. Washington, July 25. Mr. Tateno, Japanese minister here, yesterday re ceived a cablegram from his govern ment saying that Corean troops had made an uncalled for attack upon the Japanese soldiers stationed at Seoul, the capital, and that their fire had been returned by the Japanese troops, with what result on either side the dispatch does not say. Nagasaki, July 25. Advices from Seoul state that a battle has been fought there between Corean and Japanese troops, in which .the Coreans were re pulsed with considerable loss. The Corean troops, together with some Chinese soldiers, made an attack upon the Japanese garrison at the Corean capital and attempted to take the Japa nese position by storm. A sharp fight ensued, but the Japanese fire was more than the attacking party could stand and they were compelled to retire. The assault upon the Japanese garrison was made at the instance of the Chinese minister at Seoul. The Debs Trial. Chicago, July 25. The arguments on the admission of testimony in the con tempt case against Messrs. Debs, How ard, Keliher and Rogers, of the A. R. U., were concluded , yesterday and Judges Grosscup and Woods decided that the sworn answer of the defend ants was not conclusive and that testi mony was admissible. Attorney Erwin, for the defense, made a long argument during the morning, claiming that the defendants' answer to the bill of complaint was final and that no testimony " should be ad mitted. Mr. Erwin further pleaded that the information in the bill - was vague, incomplete and insufficient and was such as shouia not be even recog nized by the court. Mr. Bancroft, attorney for the Santa Fe railroad, spoke in behalf of the gov ernment at the close of Mr. Erwin's re marks. ' His aim was to show that tes timony was admissible and he oited many decisions to uphold his position. Accident to an Arctic Expedition. St. Johns, N. F., July 25. The steam er Myranda, carrying to Greenland the Cook Arctlo expedition, consisting of fifty-four persons, professors, scientists, university students and others, for the purpose of exploring west Greenland, which left here Sunday, July 15, re turned yesterday morning disabled, having collided with an ioeberg at the entrance ot Belle Isle. The accident occurred at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning last, when the ship was about' eight miles north of Belle island during a thick fog. Some of the passengers con template abandoning the trip and will return to New York. - , ; WAR IN THE ORIENT. China and 'Japan Let Loose tha Dotf&of War. First Blood for the Japanese On of Their Cruisers Sinks a Chinese Transport - with a Thousand Hen on Board 1 The King of Corea Taken ' Prisoner by the Japs. Shanghai, July 28. The statement that war has been declared between Japan and China is generally accepted here as correct. The Japanese victory, wherein a number of Chinese trans ports were sunk, was gained on Wed nesday. The Chinese loss of, life was very great The Japanese have seized the king of Corea and hold him pris oner. Eleven Chinese steamers ara on their way to Corea. Most of the troops aboard them are coolies, armed with bows and arrows. Some Chinese steam ers which have arrived at Corea have been prevented by the Japanese from landing troops. It is reported that the Japanese artillery sank several of them. The first overt act of war occurred on Tuesday last. The Japanese fired on and sunk the steamship Kow Shung, belonging to Hugh Mathieson & Co., of London, which had been chartered by the Chinese government to convey troops to Corea. Full details of this engagement are not yet obtainable, as the facts are carefully withheld from the public, and will be so withheld un til there is no longer the slightest chance of averting a bloody war be tween China and Japan. But, accord ing to advices received, a Japanese cruiser sighted the Kow Shung and ran Within easy range of her. She then signalled the transport to put back. The transport continued steaming ahead until the cruiser fired a shot across her bows. No attention being paid to this, according to the story, the Japanese cruiser opened fire upon the transport in earnest, put a number of shots into her, and the transport event ually Bunk with all hands. The num ber of people drowned is not known, but it is believed that there must have been about a thousand Chinese soldiers on board. The Chinese officials seem to look upon the war with Japan as likely to be of very short duration. They claim that China can pour troops into Corea in such numbers that the result of the war can never be in doubt. So far as the two navies are concerned China has about thirty warships, large and small, of which five are fairly good armored ships armed with Krupp guns. In ad dition, she has chartered a number of transports and these are being armed as rapidly as possible and with the best guns China is able to procure On the other hand, tne Japanese navy consists of about thirty war vessels, including five armored ships carrying Krupp guns. So far as warships are concerned, it will therefore be seen that in numbers they are about evenly matched. London, 'July 28. Hugh Mathieson & Co., the Chinese government agents in England, at 1 o'clock yesterday af ternoon received a cable message which also confirms the announcement that war has been declared between China an Japan. Hugh Mathieson, when questioned, sai4 that he expected that the war, at the outset, would be favorable to Japan, as that country had long been preparing for this contest by drilling armies .and manning and equipping warships. The Japanese, he said, were also a quicker moving nation, and con sequently it would be but natural that the first engagement between them and the slower moving Chinese would result in victory for the soldiers and sailors of the Mikado. "Hut," Mr. Mathieson declared, "eventually China must and, will crush Japan," adding, "Japan is absolutely unable to pour out such a torrent of men and material as China, which country can carry on the war for many years, if necessary, and always with fresh troops.' China of recent years has purchased large quantities of munitions of war and is not so far behind in this respect as is generally believed." The 'war between Japan and China over Corea, makes the rulers of these countries of more than usimiI interest. Mutsu Hito, emper or of Japan, is about 42 years of age. He succeeded his father at the age of 18 years, and was restored to full power a year later. The emperor is a gentleman of court ly mien, educated in the sciences and arts. lie knows the minutest details of kmpkkob or japan. his kingdom's needs, opens parliament and delivers his own addresses. His court is the center of culture and tal ent, the men who surround him being men of brilliant minds knowing well how to assist in guiding the govern ment. ; Washington, July 28. The extent to which war is now flagrant between China and Japan is not clearly stated by any dispatches tha,t have thus far been received either at the state or navy department or by any of the for eign diplomats, although much interest is manifested in the situation. One f difficulty in the way of .obtaining ac curate information is found in the en tire interruption of cable communica tion with Corea. 1 Motive for the Recent Strike. St. Louis, July 28. A morning paper quotes Albert Smith, one of the local leaders in the late railroad strike, and a friend of Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Railway union, as say ing: "At the beginning of the recent strike Debs told me that he did not ex pect to win the Btrike. He had a pur pose in having the strike ordered,"6aid Mr. Smith. "He believed that a strike at the time that of the A. R. U. was called was the only way by which the laboring classes could be brought to see that they could do nothing for themselves as long as they were not po litically organized." THREE BRAVE FIREMEN Lose Their Lives In a Disastrous Fire at the Nation's Capital Two Hundred Heavy Draft Morses Perish In the Flames Loss, a2.5O,0OO. Washington, July 26. The ware house and stables of the George W. Knox Express . Company, occupying over a quarter of a block at Second and B. streets, northwest, were destroyed by fire early yesterday morning. Thiee firemen lost their lives. , Over 200 heavy draft horses, nearly all of the. company's express . wagons and the contents of. the large storage building were burned. The Adams Ex press Company's stable, adjoining the Knox building to the north, was also almost entirely consumed. About 150 horses were in the Adams Express Com pany's stable, but all were taken out by the hardest kind , of work on the part pf citizens and policemen. Eight two-6tory houses on the alley north of the Knox building and two small frame houses back of the Adams stables were destroyed. Six or eight other residence houses were more or less damaged. The total loss wUl exceed a quarter of a million dollars. The bodies of the following firemen have been recovered: Samuel E. Mastin, fireman, No. 1; Michael Fenton, fireman, No. 1; Dennis Dono hue, fireman, No,, 1. Four firemen were badly injured and had to be taken to the Emergency hos pital. One of the Knox stable employes was burned and may die. Fully a dozen firemen and policemen were overcome by heat and had to be carried to places ot safety. Shortly before 3 o'clock inthe morn ing the most terrible incident of the fire occurred. The firemen had carried their hose into the burning warehouse through one of the large rear doors. This door was held up by weighted ropes, and the men had just entered the building when the ropes burned through and the heavy wooden door fell, penning them in. The work of cutting through the door was immedi ately beirun and was all but finished when the floors above fell with a crash. The immense weight burst out the door and crushed two of the firemen to death. Three others were with difficulty dragged out of the debris alive. In about five minutes the por tion of the outside wall immediately over the door cave wav. filling the wide alley, but injuring no one. AT LIBERTY UNDER BAIL. Debs. Howard. Keliher and Rogers Re leased on 1138,000 Ball The Cases Con tinued Until September 0. Chicago, July 26. Messrs. Debs, Howard, Keliher and Rogers, of the American Railway union, are at liberty under bail, pending the hearing of the various cases aeainst them. Ihey were yesterday afternoon, required to give $7,000 bonds each, covering five new in dictments, in addition to the contempt cases broueht bv the government and the Santa Fe railroad. The hearing of the contemnt cases was continued until September 5, and it is the purpose of the defendants' attorneys to lorce a hearing on the indictments before the contemnt cases are acrain called. At the mornine's .session of the United States circuit court the judge entered a formal ruling denying the defend ants' motion to quash. He held that the Railway union was committing unlaw ful acts in interfering with inter-state commerce, and he proposed to find out what connections the defendants had with it. " The case was postponed on account of the illness of Government Attorney Edward Walker. The attorney for the Santa Fe road attempted to force a hearing on his complaint, but the judge thought he ought not to be forced into taking two doses of the same medicine and put over both cases together. While court adjourned at 11 o'clock, it was 4 oclock in the afternoon before bonds were furnished. Messrs. William Fitz gerald and William Skakel, the two gentlemen who were already on the bonds of the defendants for $3,500 each, signed the additional twenty-eight bonds and the aggregate amount of their guarantee on the four men is $18,000. On account of the large number of bonds to be furnished Judge Gross- cup reduced the bonds on contempt to $1,000 in each case. The defendants left the federal build ing about 4:30 o'clock and went back to the jail to gather their belongings. They all declare themselves ready for work at once. . Militia Withdrawn. Chicaoo, July 26. The protection of the militia were withdrawn from the railroad properties, Pullman, Kensington, Bumside, the stock yards and other points in Cook county yes terday with the exception of two com panies of the Chicago regiments. One of these will be stationed at Pullman and the other at the stock yards for an indefinite period. The preliminary steps toward the withdrawal of the two brigades of the Illinois national guard from the strike-troubled sec tions of the city were taken Tuesday by Mayor Hopkins, who sent a tele gram to Gov. Altgeld requesting him to order all but two companies relieved from further duty, as their presence was no longer necessary. ; The governor replied that he would order the withdrawal of the forces on the assurance of the mayor, who asked for the militia to be sent here, that all was quiet and likely to remain so as far as the railroads were concerned. This news was joyfully received by the mi litia officers and men, who have done much unpleasant and unprofitable duty during the strike - ; Narrowly Escaped Lynching;. Chicago, July 26.

BUSINESS BAROMETER. B. G. Dnn Cos Weekly Review of Traa Uncertainty Regarding the rnture Tends to Retard Confidence. - - New York, July 28.-R, G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: The heavy outgo of gold, the fall of tha treasury reserve and the price of wneas to the lowest point on record, and thai Increasing uncertainty about the tariff has entirely overshadowed other influ-' ences. Business delayed for monthsby . two great strikes now crowds railroads and swells returns and gives the im pression of revival in bubiness. But it' is not yet clear how far there is an in crease in new. tariff, distinguished from that which has been merely, blockaded or delayed. In some branches there has been more activity, but in others1 less, because events early this week led many to infer that no cbauge of tariff would be made. The internal revenue receipts on whisky suddenly dropped more than half, and sales of wool greatly in creased. But the uncertainty is not removed, and much of the business done seems to be in the nature of in surance against possibilities. All the year it has been argued that gold ex ports have practically ended, out tne outgo this week has been $5,300,000, making the net outgo for the month about $10,000,000. Of all explanations given only one fits the facts. With wheat at the lowest point ever known, and moving from the farms freely, while imports are still restricted by doubts about future duties, gold coma not go out if there were the ordinary confidence in the future of en-, terprises here. But much was done to prevent mat confidence by legislation hostile to lenders in western and southern states and many millions have doubtless been called in by foreign loan companies and taken away. Still more has been done by the strikers, the depression of man ufactures, the loss of railroad earnings and the rapid decrease of treasury bal ances, which are reduced to about nny slx millions, the lowest ever known since preparations for resumption be- n. Internal revenue receipts amount $20,700,000 for the month, $14,200,000 more than in the same part of July last year. Customs receipts this month are less than $8,000,000, .against io,uuu,uw last year. 1 Wheat has found in the lowest deptns a deeper still, and sold below 55, mak ing the monthly average at JSew xorit the lowest ever known. Western re ceipts have been 5,455,874 bushels, against 8,192,295 last year, in part be cause of delayed shipments, but the movement from the farms has been heavy, while Atlantic exports have been only 1,511,604 bushels, against 2,057,050 last year. Corn was stronger,' with accounts of injury to part of crop, and the exports are trifling. . , CAUGHT IN THE ACT. , One of the Host Notorious Counterfeiters In the Country Captured In New Yorb City. -v T , tie . . T IN EW , IOKK, dUiy zo. uuucouuiD Matt," alias Martin Kelly, alias William Martin, one of the most notorious coun terfeiters in the country, was caugnt Thursday by detectives of the United States secret service, who broke in the door of a back room on the top floor of No. 107 East Broadway and, revolvers in hand, surprised the counterfeiter in the act of manufacturing spurious coin. Stripped to his underclothing and sur rounded by the paraphernalia of his business the counterfeiter was stand ing, ladle in hand, before a red-hot kitchen stove. It was all done soquickly that "Lone some Matt," who has earned that sob riquet by working always alone, did not have time to think of escape. He had just poured metal into four plaster of paris molds. One hundred counter feit dollars were found. He pleaded guilty before Commissioner Shields and was held to the grand jury in $5,000 bail. ' MUTINOUS CONVICTS. An Uprising at Tracy City, Trnn. A Dep uty Warden and One Convict Killed Sev eral Wounded. Nashville, Tenn., July 28. Convicts at Tracy City are in a state of mutiny and as a result two men are dead and two others are suffering from slight wounds.
