for an Effort—Victorious Ene-

Shanghai Sept. 13. — Rumors
reach here of a battle fought be-
tween the Chinese and Japanese
near Kai Chiange Corea Sept. 2.
The native newspapers of Sept. 10
say the fight lasted two days and
was still undecided when this
news was forwarded to the native
press. The Chinese papers of Sept.
12 announced that Yeh the Chi-
nese commander reports a victory
over the Japanese. It Is supposed
here however that the Chinese
met with a reverse at Pei Yang.
A private dispatch confirms the
news and says more fighting oc-
curred with undecided results.
Floods in Corea still prevent the
Chinese troops from crossing the
Imchin river to attack the Japan-
ese. It is reported that the Kirino
division of the Chinese army has
crossed the Kulin river and now
hold Suhinning awaiting the ad-
vance of the main body of the ar-
my before attacking the Japanese
right Hank.
No reliable news however is ob-
tainable here in regard to the pro-
gress of the war. The Hopao re-
ports that the Chinese admiralty
has determined to order to Pei
Yang from the Yang Tse coast all
war ships of certain tonnage and
Armament. The Hupao adds that
a number of torpedo boats from
the squadrons at Foo Choo Can-
ton and Nankin will also be or-
dered to Pei Yang. Intriguing ene-
mies of Li Hung Chang have re-
ported to the throne the presence
at Tien Tsin of Chang Pei Lunthe
Viceroy’s son-in-law who was
banished in 1884. The throne has
ordered his return to exile.
LOST SISTER FOUND
After Fourteen Years—Foul Play
Suspected.
New York Sept. 13.—The World
today publishes a story of the meet-
ing between a brother and sister
after a separation of fourteen years.
The sister 1s Annie Marshall alias
Florence Edwards who was shot
the other night at Shicks hotel.
The brother is a member of the
firm of Matheson A- Marshall con-
tractors and builders Boston. The
Marshall woman entered the hotel
with Wallace Ladue. Ladueclaims
that she tried to commit suicide
and that sho now places the blame
upon him because she is afraid she
will be punished. Marshall was
made acquainted with the fact that
his sister had been shot through an
anonymous letter. The writer of
the letter enclosed a clipping from
a paper describing the tragedy.
“I think the woman is your sis-
ter?” said the unknown writer who
signed himself “Whitney.”
Marshall alarmed hurried from
Boston to this city only to discover
that tho report was true. The
woman recognized him placed her
arms around his neck kissed him
and then sank back unconscious.
“If she recovers” said Marshall
“I will take her home with me.”
Ladue will be arraigned in the
Jefferson Market court today on
the charge of attempting to murder
the woman.

A Reporter Describes a Railway
Chicago Sept. 13.—The govern-

porter and also a delegate from
the Lasalle union who was
present at the railway un-
ion convention told of scenes
during the consideration of the
Pullman strike. The witness said
Debs made a fiery speech urging
a boycott and declaring he would
rather see the union wrecked in so
righteous a cause than to drag
along uselessly. Howard Rice said
much more in a conservative way
being opposed to a boycott.
COREAN WAR NEWS.

THE DEBS CASE.
Union Meeting.
San Antonio Texas Thursday September 131894.
New York Sept. 13.—An exhi-
bition has been given in the gov-
ernment slip off the battery of the
model of a fin propelled boat de-
signed by Mr. Frank Taff of
White Stone L. L who proposes
to submit it to the naval authori-
ties. The model Is fitted with a
small vertical engine of three-
quarters inch stroke worked by
steam w ith gasoline for fuel.
There are two fish tail shaped
tins on either side of the hull just
aft the midship section a few
inches apart and midway between
the water line and the keel. The
thick or head ends of the fins are
fixed in the ends or thrust shafts
the web ends extending aft. There
are two thrust shafts extending
across the hull each shaft havl n g
a fin at either end.
The shafts work alternatelycoun-
terbalancing each other and keep-
ing the boat steady. The main
surface of the tin which is called
the web is thinned toward the
edge. The thurst of the shafts
drives the fins in and out from the
sides of the vessel and forces it
ahead. About two minutes after the
gasoline lamp was put under the
boiler 20 pounds of steam was gen-
erated. The model was launched
and glided out toward midstream
followed by row boats which sub-
sequently picked it up. Engineers
of river craft who witnessed the
work of the fins were both amazed
and pleased with the performance.
The action of the fin is such that
there is no dead water and there
is also no drag. The water is held
tight. There is no wave or foamy
wake produced. It is claimed that
a steamer provided with fins hav-
ing the same surface as its propell-
ers have will make better time un-
der the same expenditure of power
applied to tho propeller and that
that power would be secured from
a greatly reduced initial pressure to
the extent that one ton of coal
would do the work of four tons or
more now used.

What the People are Saying.
[By |Jas. P.Newcomb.l
The Noonan club organized on Govern-
ment hill composed of young vigorous
men should And a hundred duplicates
over the city. „
Every day adds to the volume of the
Noonan support. No local combines can
stay the flood of public sentiment that is
rising hourly all over the district.
The San Antonio Express Houston's
organ is dumb—a snarl or a snapsuch as
might be expected from a caged coyote is
all that comes from the Express.
The better judgment of Mr. Houston’s
organ Is in revolt with Its mercenary
course. Its editor Mr. Frank Griceknows
that he is striking at the best interests of
the people and prays that the people will
not be foolish enough to follow his ad-
vice.
» • »
The Express copies without comment
the article from the Texas Stockman
showing up the injury the tariff law will
inflict upon our horse raising industry; in
this Indirect way the Express hopes to
administer the antidote for the Houston
poison.
The Express should send one of its en-
terprising reporters after its candidate
and secure an interview from him as to
exactly his position upon the sheep and
stock interests and find out just how Gus
stands and what remedy he proposes.
But this might be dangerous to the Ex-
press and leave our great morning dally
without a leg to stand on.
* * *
But having had the temerity to ad-
vocate the election of one of the most un-
popular men in the district they should
be bold enough to get an interview out of
him.
* * *
The Express helped Joe Sayers out
with an interview the last time he ran
in this district why not help Gus out?
of course he can go back on it but he
will never have a chance to.
SHORT SNAPPERS.
The Big Three now have a good twist on
the tail if they will only hold on.
The latest rumor is that Col. Cuney &
Co. have secured the Express as their
organ.
There will be a very few colored men
who can be bought away from voting for
J edge Noonan
There will be a little lively competition
for several of the city offices at the next
election
Our neighbor the Express is very gen-
erous in parceling out offices to its
friends which it is unable to elect.
When you hear a man boasting of hi«
nolitical Influence you can bet his hand
is open behind.
If Col. Grice wants to run for constable
let him come out like a man and say so.
The Light will whoop for you.
Col. Grice has discovered that he does
not live in the city therefore Is not eligi-
ble to the office of constable.
Mavor Elmendorf will carry out the
late Mayor Paschal’s policy; he is all
right.
If T. B. Johnson is to be elected justice
of the peace he wants a good constable
and asks the nomination of Col. Frank
Grice.
“Some men you can buy part of the
time; some men you can buy all the
time; but there are some men you can-
not buy any time.”
The Noonan ball was started rolling
from the apex of Government hill last
night. It will gather circumference at
every turn and sweep the valley.
Aiderman Hice will accept thanks of
his constituents for the water mains
ordered. Some day we hope to get a
macadamized road out to the new St.
Louis college.
Dr. Geo. Clifford will no doubt make us
a good aiderman. As he travels over the
city a great deal In his practice be can
assure the Council of the very bad condi-
tion of our streets.
The Express has been deceiving its
readers for years about the politics of
this city This Houston organ has dis-
covered that the city government Is Re-
publican. Why the Express has been do-
ing its best to make it Republican.
Bank Dividend Decreases.
London. Sept. 13.—The Governor’s
Bank of England at the half yearly
meeting > today declared a dividend of 4
per cent; the reason for this reduction is
a decrease in profile due to tho unprece-
dented increase in the reserve and the
•low value of money. The progress of the
Baring liquidation has been so favor-
able that it is believed no loss will fal
upon the guarantees.
May Resign.
Cincinnati Ohio September 13.
—A special from Columbus Ohio
says friends of Senator Rrice
