A Desperate Naval Battle Fought Be
tween the War Fleets of Japan
and China.
THE BATTLE HOTLY CONTESTED
One Chinese War Vessel unnk, An
other Captured, and a large
Number of Men Killed.
SnannuAl, July 31.-News has just
reached here of a desperate battle be.
tween the fleets of the Chinese and the
Japanese, in which the Chinese were de
teated and the Chen Yuen, the largest
battle ship but one in the Chinese serv
ice was sunk, and two other large Chi
nese vessels, said to be firstclass cruisers,
captured or destroyed. The battle was
hotly contested, but the Japanese ap
pear to have handled their guns, ship,
and torpedoes with more skill than the
Chinese. The Chinese fleet engaged
carried nearly 1,000 men and a large
number are reported killed or drowned.
Later dispatches say few, if any, of the
Chinese engaged in the battle escaped.
Two German officers in command of the
Chen Yuen are reported to have met
death with the crew.
TIEN TsaIn, July 31.-A naval battle
was fought yesterday between the Chi
nese and Japanese fleeti. The Jap.
anese sunk the Chinese war ship Chen
Yuen. Two large cruisers, supposed to
be vessels built for China, were captured
or destroyed. The Chen Yuen was a
battle ship of 7,400 tons displacement,
carrying 141$ inch and compound armor
at the water line. Her battery inmluded
four 12 inch guns protected by armores
breast works and two small Krupp's
eleven Hotchkles cannon sad tubes for
Whitehean torpedoes, two 814 inch and
six inch Krupp's and a secondary bat
tery of Ilotchkies revolving cannon. The
Chen Yuen was built for China at the
Stettin works. She was a sister ship of
the Ling Lue and was the most power
ful ship in the Chinese navy with the ex.
ception of the Chen Yuen.
YoonosMA, July 31.-The following
official statement of the difficulties be
tween China and Japan has been issued
by the Japanese government today:
Japan and China were approaching a
settlement of the difficulties when China
suddenly suggested that Japan with
draw her fleet from Cores, and give
formal compliance with the Chinese
demands by the 20th; otherwise the
whole Chinese forces were to advance
upon Corea. The Japanese regarded
this as the ultimatum but acting under
the advice of the friendly powers agreed
to the proposals in an amendea form at
the same time declaring that if the
threatened Chinese advance was made
on the 20th it would be regarded as an
overt act. It is conjectured that the
Japanese commanders were instructed
to be on the watch for the Chinese war
ships and seeing the latter advancing on
July 27th opened lire. The Chinese
k the Kow Shung, the Chinese
transport sunk by the Japanese cruiser,
was flying the British flag as a ruse.
The Japanese indignantly deny the the
charge of brutality brought against the
officers and crew which sunk the Chi
nese transport.
Nv.w YORK July 31.-The Central
cable office of the Western. Union tele
raph company has received advices
from Honkong and Shanghai that the
Chinese telegraph companies will not
accept any telegraphic messages respect
ing the war between China and Japan.
The Chinese land lines north of Shan
ghai are interrupted, cutting off Tien
'rieon and Pekin.
CIIICAOO G(AMRLING I)JES.
Doors Wide Open and "Cappers" Plying
Their Vocation.
OCrIAno, July 31.-The grand jury
has fled its report saying: 'We find that
gambling is being carried on to its full
set extent in Chicago with doors wide
open and "cappers" and stool pigeons
plying their vocation to catch the un
wary for the purpose of fleecing any vic
tim who happens to fall into their hands,
and that the heads of the police depart
ment are giving some of the places men
tioned below ample protection from
arrest and persecution." A list of places
at which it is alleged gambling is carried
on is appended. The jury gives as a
reason for not returning indictments
agaions the proprietors of these places
that the assistant state attoroey Inform
ed them that it would be impossible to
secure conviction. The assistant state
attorney denies having made this state
ment. He says he merely told the jury
that it was difficult to get testimony
which would result in conviction.

get together at 1 o'clock. Friends of
the Wi son bill seemed hopeful. They as
sured the chairman and other house
conferees that the house demolrats
could be depended upon to stand by the
house bill to the end. Wilson and friends
are likely to take a conspicuous part in
the caucus.
8 p. m.--The tariff deadlock is now
breakinl up after being together two
hours this afternoon. The house con
ferees said positively that there will be
an agreement this week. One of the con
ferees added that subetantial coucee
sonus will be made to the houses. The
senate conferees say it stands very much
as it has stood all along. The house
conferees insist that it the bill is re
ported back on the lines they propose it
will be found that there are votes
enough in the senate to pass it and urge
the senate conferees to give the bill a
trial on these lines.

At Reat.
CARc'AEF, Mont, July 24.-Once more
a sad cortege has wended its way from
our village bearing with it the remains
of one of our most estimable young men
and laying it at rest on the "Green Hill
side,' beside his good old mother, who
preceeded him about five years, that of
John Noah Burch, who had just passed
from youth into the plain of manhood,
with the glow of a prosperous life before
him. but unexpectedly to all who knew
him, he has gone to appear before the
Great Tribunal where unnatural trans.
pirations are unknown and where
naught but ceaslem joy and tranquillity
pred. minate.
Mr. Burch was just twenty-two years
six months and twenty-seven days old
on 'the 23 inst., on the eve of which day
at about 9:40 o'clock by the discharge of
a rifle in his own hands he passed that
transition which is unrevertable. He
sustained a reputation that was un
questionably beyond crlticium. To be
come acquainted with him would in
evitably enlist the most aspiring re
gard of anyone. He was a conseastnt
member of the Christian church at this
place and was an enthusiastic worker In
the I. O. G. T.'s as long as it was in
exietance here. He was a member of the
I. 0. F. who cared for him and con
veyed him to his last resting place. His
casket was profusely decorated with
flowers as was also his grave after
burial.
The deceased has been in the employ
of Mr. C. LH Austin for nearly roar
years, and as a result of his labors has
to his credit several hundred dollars,
which was prospective of a useful life.
He leaves five brothers and three sisters
to mourn his lose and who have the
sympathy of the whole community.
At a special meeting of the Chestnut
Valley Lodg No.a , I2O. 0. O ., at Cas
cade, Mont., the following resolut.n.s
were adopted:
Whereas, We have been deprived of
the association of our worthy brother,
John N. Burch by the hand of dnath,
therefore
Resolved, That while we mourn the

our heartlt sympathy to his brothers
and sisters, and further, be it

EARTH TO QUAKE
New York City To Be Destroyed by
An Earthquake and Tidal Wave
Friday, August 17.
WHOLE COUNTRY TO SUFFER
California To Be Made An Inland
Prediction Made by a Professor
Who Never Fails.
BEI..nRAnr, July 31.- Earthquake
shocks have been felt at Macedonia, Old
S rvia and Eastern Bulgaria. Many
houses in Varna, Bulgaria, were dam
aged and a number of people killed.
Recent earthquakes in European and
Asiatic Turkey, followed by the seismic
disturbance in Tennessee, Missouri and
Wisconsin, as reported in the telegraphic
columns of the TlunUNE, gives new in
terest to the prophesies of danger and
disaster which have been made during
recent years.
The matter, however, would not at.
tract any special attention in this coun
try but for the recent circulation of an
alleged prophecy by Prof. Rudolph Falb,
of Vienna and Berlin, to the effect that
the city of Now York is to be destroyed
by an earthquake the 17th of Angust.
There has recently been published in
some of the New York papers a state
ment to the effect that there will be a
great submarine earthquake in July or
August, 1894, which will overthrow the
city of New York by a tidal wave, while
Florida and California will be converted
into islands.
These publications appear to have
created some alarm since it is announced
that in view of the terrible dispeasations
so lavishly to be dealt out a mass prayer
meeting, with room for 20,000 people, is
advertised to be held every Wednesday
afternoon at Guttenburg, New Jersey,
at 3 o'clock.
The New York Herald takes up the
matter and devotes a column to explain.
ing Prof. Falb's methot of prediction.
He holds, in brief, that the interior of
the globe is a mass of melted matter in
a fluid state. It is inclosed in a sotid
crust from twenty to forty miles thick.
This oceanotf ire, nearly 8,000 miles in
diameter, or, measured from its surface
to the center of the earth. 4,000 miles
deep and 24,000 miles in circumference,
is vastly greater than all the watery seas
combined, but, like them, it is subject to
the attractions of the sun and moon,
which are supposed to make the sea
tida.
When the sun and moon are in con
junction, or are close together, their
attracting or pulling power on the tides
Is greatest. Hut this pull operates not
only on the oceans of water on the sur
face of the globe, but upon the ocean of
lire in its interior. Thus, at the time of
one of these conjunctions. and particu
larly when the great luminaries are
nearest to the earth, this attraction is
greater than at any other time, and
from it result the specially high tides
that are known on all coasts.
It is claimed for Prof. Falb that his
predictions always come true, many in
stances having been cited. The Herald
writer, after a lengthy discussion of the
matter and stating the locations of the
sun and moon and the planetary posi
tions for Aug. 16, declares that under
the rules observed by Prof. Falb there is
no doubt but there will be physical dis
turbances of some importance following
this opposition.
It may also be supposed that the
countries liable to be affected will be
that part of southern Europe lying be
tween 0 degrees and 60 degrees east lon.
gitude--eastern Asia, Japan, the East
indies and Australia, eastern South
America, and the Atlantic ocean east of
Newfoundland. There will probably be
a sharp heated term passing across this
couutry from west to easst, accompanied
by fierce electrical disturbances.
It would be utterly Impossible on any
known theory to predict a tidal wave
which should destroy New York. This
could only occur after a great looal
earthquake, or one under the ocean or
on the west coast of Europe, and it Is
not possible to predict the force neces
.ary to accomplish this result.
Directly contrary to Professor Falb's
theory of earthquakes is that generally
received by modern geologists. They do
not believe in an Interior sea of fire.
They deny the possibility of upheavals
from the generation of gases in the
crust of the earth or from the formation
of steam by the sea of water being
brought into contract with the sea of
ire. Their notion is that the globe may
once have been hot, but that it is
steadily cooling, and as it cools its
shrinks and becomes smaller.
In the shrinking process some trifling
displacement occurs and shakes down a
ew houses and that is all there is of
earthquakes, which do not amount to
much anyway. People can take their
choice and as they commonly believe
just what they want to believe it is fair
to suppose that a big majority will ac
cept the latter theory and pay no atten
tion to the earthquake prophets. That
has generally been the treatment accord
ed to prophets in every age, and as a
monsequence very few are prepared for
the calamities that overtake them.

Blzar., Ind., July 31.--E. V. Debs ar

IOWA DEMOCRATS
Ex-Governor Boles. Chairman of the
State Convention. Makes a Masm

DEMANDS TARIFF REFORM
The Teachings of the Republican
Party Have Brought Ruin to
the Country.
Dies Monmo, Ia., Aug. 1.-The demo
cratic state convention assembled at 10
o'clock. About 400 delegates were pres
ent. J. M. Parson, the temporary chair
man, delivered an address, saying Corey
ism and McKinleyism was carried to its
logical conclusion. After his speech
committees were chosen and the conven
tion adjourned for dinner. On recon
vening Ex-Gov. Boles was chosen perma
nent chairman, and in his address said:
"The democracy must fulfill all its prom
lees on which its victory wan won." lie
pictured the results of three decades of
the most intense protective policy as seen
in trusts, strikes, lockouts, general dis
content and armies of bomeless men, and
demanded that a tariff reform measure
be adopted at once. The silver plank of
the last platform, he said, required atilr
mautive action. Boles discussed the la
bor troubles at length, declaring that a
strike, as often conducted, is "revolution,
anarchy and an incipient stage of civil
war." Sympathetic strikes, he said,
must go, or the unions would be de
stroyed.
NO FUISION.
The NSt. I'ul Globe Strikes Marit for a

ST. PAUL, Aug. 1.-The St. Paul Globe,
the leading democratic organ of the
northwest, publiahes the following dou.
ble-leaded editorial as voicing the senti
ment of the Minnesota democracy, and
it has created wild confusion in the
ranks of the populists:
"The talk of any possibility, or even
serious consideration, of a union of the
democratic and populist parties in Min.
nesota is preposterous and absurd.
"'The democratic party is the party of
the people; the liberty-loving, law.abid.
ing people.
"Its principles demand the greatest
good fi: the greatest number.
"It stands for the rights of the masses
add against monopolies.
"Those who agree with its views are
welcome to its ranks.
"The democratic party has doctrines
and principles of its own as old and well
established as the constitution itself.
"The democratic party does not pro
pose to abandon principle; to demean it
self and disgrace its traditions by rrsh
ing to the arms of mushroom, lawless.
anarchical organizations.
"'The democratic party puts country,
the home, prosperity, law and order, and
the general happiness of the people
ahead of clap-trap combinations designed
to destroy all of these elements.
"Defeat, honorably combatting for the
principles of good government, is not to
be feared.
'Success in such a contest is sure in
due time, and is liable to be so surpris
ingly near as to astonish the skeptical.
"A victory resulting from a union with
the mongrel anarchists would mean the
disintegration of the democratic party,
as well as deserved and ovenwhelming
disgrace."
