GRAPHIC STORY OF A IJATTLC.
LONDON , Oct. 2. A Hrltish naval officer
nttarhcd to the Chinese naval squadron ,
which was engaged In the light , off thp mouth
of the Ynlu rlvor , has written a letter to
the Graphic In which he gives additional
details of the lighting , and says :
"On board the warship Chen Yuen the
fighting was awful. The decks and the
co around the guns were fctrenrn with
human fragments. Three of five men
working on a four-ton gun were blown up
by a. shell from the Japanese warship Nan-
Iwa. The fourth gunner was shot while
trying to escape from the turiet nnd the
fifth stuck to his post.
"This man fired three rounds at the
Nunlvui , one elicit entering the engine room
of the Japanese ship nnd another smashing
her fcrebrldee. The N.inlwa then hauled
off The Chinese admiral rewarded the
surviving gunner with a present of 1,000
tnels.
"A shell glanced from the steel deck of the
Chen Yuen and went through her tower ,
shattering everything there. A lieutenant ,
who was In the act of speaking through the
tube leading to the engine room was blown
Into ntomi nnd his head was left hanging
to the Ep ° aklnE pipes.
"HURC fragments of armor and the teak
backlriR thereof were- carried on board by
the shot , crushing n largo number of sailors
Into it shapeless mass.
"An European engineer , who was In the
net of croplng about In an endeavor to re
pair a steam pipe , was drenched from head
to foot with the blood of an assistant who
v > as disemboweled by his side with a shot
ft am the enemy's ship.
"The Chen Yuen arrived at Wei Hal Wei
the day after the fight In the same condi
tion In which she left the battle. No at
tempt had been made to wash the blood
from her or to remove the corpses which
till invert her decks. "
Thp wrllcr expresses the opinion that If ( lie
I2uropan rulers could have seen the decks
of the Chen Yuen they would have fore-
Bvvorn siar henceforth and forever.

\VASHINGTON , Oct. 2. Prince Kuntc. who
has been recalled to Imperial favor In China
find placed at the head of the privy council ,
" " Is said by diplomats who have known him
personally to be one of the ablest and most
adroit states-men In the Chinese empire. He
lias behind Urn n long record ot distinguished
eerilco , beginning in l&f > 0 and running till
April , 1HM. v.-hen he fell Into disgrace. He
was the founder of the Tsuiigll-Yumen ( privy
council ) , has n broad knowledge ot
foreign affairs , having himself acted
ni minister of state for thirty
yearn , and to his courage and energy
In remaining In Pekln In IS61 , when the
Urltlsh occupied the place und the Imperial
M family flrd , was duo the very existence of the
reigning dynasty.
In April , 1831 , h cTprtSi ngcnt d si I sed

iioulth lie hud become cureless and hafi\rieK-

anil while he Is now In the CDs he Is said to
bo u vigorous , alert man.
During Ida retirement from omc ho has al
ways ) opposed LI Huns Chung , the viceroy ,
nnd his restoration Is taken here to mean the
ascendancy cf his parly over LI Hung Chang ,
and It Is also bel eve.l that he stands com
mitted to a vigorous war policy and will en
deavor to force the fighting with the Jap.ui-
cso Instead of following the : Fabhn policy of
LI Hung Chang , who m st give iliO to Kung
In the illiictlon of affairs. So far us known
Iiere Prince Kung1 had but , one son. a youth
of evil luiblts , who died In a fit of dissipation
many years ago. Should he have a second
son , It Is , not believed here that ho would en
deavor to place him on the throne and dis
place the reigning emperor , as the empress
would sea crly pit him In a po It'on vvbe-o he
could destroy her own BOH unless she felt
confident of his lo > alty.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 2 The officials here
who have been closely watching the progreis
of the war In the east arc puzzled to ac
count for the landing of 5,01)0 ) Japanese
Irojpa nt Posselt bay , as announced officially
Irom T'cn-Tsln. This bay lies directly on
the eastern boundary between Corea nnd the
Russia * maritime provinces. It Is not he-
llpv'cd ' any Chinese troopi are In the neigh
borhood. The country Is too rugged and
barren to warrant the plan of marching tha
troops overland , clear Reruns Corea to Join
the army advancing on Moukdcn , and It Is
considered Inconceivable that the Japanese-
are preparing to resist a posslhU advance
by the Russian troops from the north
into Corea. The purpose cf the other move
ment reported from Tien-Tain , the rccon-
noUerlnR by the Japanese fleet off the Chin
ese coast near Shan-Hal-Kwan , Is much more
leascnablo and apparent. Shan-HoI-Kwan
lies ou the boundary between the Chinese
provinces of Manchoorta and Chl-Ll , at the
rastern end ot the great wall which tra-
\ersen China , It Is directly on the rail-
j-oad building from Tlen-Tiln to Moukden ,
and , AS the line U already In operation be
tween It and Ticn-Tsin , the town Is a place
of great strategic Importance. Should the
Japanese effect Its capture and land art
* rmy , there would bo nothing In the way
of a rapid advance on Peking , the capita ] ,
ami unless the Chlnesa resistance Is more
formidable than It has been so far. the march
could be made In a week or ten days.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 2. A prominent diplo

Whose name would carry weight because of
hla acquaintance with oriental affairs. If
diplomatic usage -Mould permit Iti use , be-
UeveH tlmt Ihe division of China Into three
powers IB the end Japan almi to achieve

"That plan was known to be cherished
by Juiwn eight or nine years Ago , " ho
jili ! . "Certainly ( he war can no longer bo
conildered one to establish the Independence
of Corfu. Ulrica that haa been gained , It has
apparently become a war of conquest , and It
look * ai though China would vaoii bo driven
lo appeal to other nations to Intercede In her
behalf.
"The Impression ( lint the Chinese ore
lacking in j > er oiuU courage U 'Incorrect , "
he continued. "Chinese Gordon said that
he never knew better soldiers than were
the Chinamen v.hcri properly equipped and
led. It Is n question mainly of leadership
nnil organisation , although one factor to betaken
taken Into amount Is the low esteem In
which the military profession Is held In
Clilnn The romantic and chivalrous side as
geneinlly associated with men of arms arc
wanting here , poldlprs merely follow- their
calling to ( ill their stomachs. While the Ics-
ran uf war may lead China to adopt western
Ideas BO far as they concern the organization
and equipment nf her army and navy , there
Is little probability that It will have any
effect In changing her complicated civiliza
tion which has endured the test of many
centuries satisfactorily to her. "

CliliKMc Story of Their Defc.it nt
LONDON , Oct. 2. The Times publishes a
letter from Sir Halllday McCartney , coun
selor of the Chinese embassy here , risking
whether It Is not strange the startling tele
grams received In London respecting the
Chinese disaster nt Plng-YIng are still with
out confirmation. He says the. reason Is not
far to seek. The news agency which re
ceived tliu dispatches referred to have no
correspondent at Seoul , unit has been Im
posed upon. The Chinese at Ping-Yang
suffered defeat , not disaster. The Chinese
"orcc , being nhort of provisions , contemplated
retreat when the city waa Invested , Their
: llled und wounded numbered only 3,000.
'he remaining D.OOO commanded by a gen-
ral , falxely stated to have been captured by
lite Japanese , effected a retreat. Sir Ilalll-
day conctude.4 with the statement that his pur
pose In writing the letter Is to reduce the
apaneselctory at Ping-Yang to Its Just
proportions.

vard , headed the poll today In the voting for
tuccessor to- the present Lord Mayor of
London , Rt. I Ion , George Robert Tujlor. The
loll was an unusual proceeding , and made
icccs ury by the opposition which developed
n Saturday last against the senior alderman ,
ivho , according to rotation , should have been
Iccted without opposition to be the next lord
im > or. The opposition to Sir Joshua Rey-
nals grew out of the fact that during the past
' years he has been a promoter of a num-
lier of companies which have not paid a
illvtdend , and as some recent lord mayors
have also figured In a not very flattering
manner tn company promotion , the opposition
o Sir Joshua Reynals grew so strong that
he contest of Saturday was postponed until
odiy In order that a poll might be taken.

ment it was reporled here that a Japanese
fleet had been sighted on September 29 , ten

Peking. Large bodies ot Chinese troops have
been drafted to thut district during the last

L1TTLB HOCK , Ark. , Oct. 2. A terrible
cyclone struck this city at 7:30 : o'clock this
J
evening and almost devastated the- business ;
portion of the city. Several people arc known
to have been killed nnd many are Injured ,
The main portion of the business center ,
bounded on the south by Third street , on
he north by the river front , on the nest
iy Center street and on the cast by Com-
ne'clal street , Is practically In ruins , and
ho amount of damage Is Incalculable. The
otal property loss will probably approp
riate $500,000. The cyclone was accompanied
jy a terrific rain storm , and the stocks of
ijoods In those business houses which were
unroofed aie destroyed by water. The storm
truck the state penitentiary , which stands
on a hill In the western part ot the city ,
\ltli feat fill force , destroying the dining
room , tearing down the stable and shops ,
inroolliig the main cell building and demol-
shlng the warden's ofllce. Several convicts
vere seriously Injured , one of whom died an
tour afterwards. Down town the lightning
struck the Martin block , corner of
Spring nnd Second streets , totally
\rccklng the third floor. A man
by the name of naton was fatally
njured there. The Tlllcs building , corner
Center and Markham , was unroofed and a
part ot the fourth floor ot Oleason's hotel was
down away. At Main and Second the tops of
several adjacent buildings Ho piled up In' an
ndcscrlt ) blo heap. The worst damage , how
ever , vris done to property on Markham and
Commerce streets. Nearly every building In
that district Is unroofed , and many are to
tally wrpcked. The largo three-story Im Idlng
at Markham nnd Cumberland , occilplsd by the
U. H. McCarthy company. Is a total wreck ,
as Is also the two-story building on the oppa-
slto corner , occupied by Max Elkans as n sa
loon. The third story of the old Demlng
house was blown off , and the several stores
under It were flooded by water and filled
with debris.
The streets are filled with tin roofs , electric
wires and other wreckage , and It will bo
several days before- the extent of the damage
can be accurately known. The large cotton
warehouse situated at Second and Scott ,
owned by J. H , Uacum , was wrecked. It foil
on the Western Union telegraph office next
door and wrecked It , thus cutting off all tele-
grnph communication with outside points.
the city Is In the densest darkness. RCK-
culng parties are busy searching for the
wounded , but a list of the casualties Is unob
tainable. Among- those known to have been
seriously and -probably fatally Injured are :
? , I" . Mornoe , member of the Arkansas leglc-
lature , nnd Eaton. Sam Smith , a prom
inent cotton buyer , Is also baJly wcunded ,
Others are known to have been more or less
Injured , but names are not obtainable , All
kinds of rumors are afloat , one to the effect
tlmt the Insane asylum. In which some COO
patients ate confined , ha * been blown down
itut many patients Injured. But the asylum
Is situated a mile from the city , and the
rumor cannot be confirmed. A number of
apoJ lunatics have been captured near
the union depot , and this fact t ; ves colir to
the rumor ,
Through the heroic services of Major Hall
and Chief of Police Frank Malion the In-
Jurtd and helpless are receiving the best of

estimated at midnight , will reach $1,000,000.
Ths damage to the insane asylum wilt reach
J100.000. That at the penitentiary will reach
$60,009. The Capitol and llicliellcu hotels
were badly damaged.
The Mrects are covered with poles , wires
und debris from the wrecked buildings. Six
electric street car motors arc pinioned on
the track on Main street wJth lienvy raftings
ami poles , nn.l are a total loss ,
The Associated press correspondent visited
the penitentiary nt midnight. The offices
of the main buildings were torn away and
completely demolished. A stampede took
place among the convicts , but Superintendent
McConiicll and Ills assistants soon succeeded
In ( piletlng them. Fortunately 4oO of the
convicts had been taken to SuiinyslJc plan
tation some days ago.
At the [ iibtina asylum was found the great
est \\ri-ck. The roof of the main building
was completely demolished and several wards
caved In , destroying everything Inside. Sev
ern ! Insane patients inn do their escape , but
were captured. It Is not known how many
Inmates were killed or Injured , as many are
supposed to be burled In the ruins. Con
fusion Is too great there to learn anything
tonight. Or. Jacob T. Ingatc. who came here

Tennessee commission , with the officers of

were able to establish a great many points

nembers of HIB rational commission report
hat the work of marking and Improving the
battlefield Is progressing with the greatest
vigor , and the road-malting has been nearly
finished under the direction ot General Stew-

The formal dedlcat.on of the park Is ex

with the paik project arc already tn corre
spondence with a view lo fixing dates so that

cation of Chattanooga shall fallow each other
'n such order that veterans Interested may
attend both.
All of the Information received hero Is to
the effect that the veterans ct both armies

largely represented at the dedication.
The New York delegation has been busily
engaged In locating ( lib positions of Now
York troops nt Lookout Mountain , Missionary

they have a large appropriation to draw upon
they expect to miike New York's monuments
the most Imposing ever erected on a battle

uments are nearly all In place and the re
mainder will be completed this month. The
sites for the fitly-one Ohio granite works
were located last week. Tie Pennsylvania

WASHINGTON , Oct. 2. n International
question Involving tha United States and
Germany has been raited by that feature of
( he new tariff which Inspired the most
trouble of any of the sugar schedules. The
German government , through Its ambassador ,
Baron Von Sauerinu JelU < [ h , has made n
strong protest to the- secretary of state
against that clause of the'act which Imposes
an additional duty of one-tenth of a cent per
pound on sugars Imported from those gov-
rnrnents which pay an export bounty on the
article to their producers. It Is held by the
Geimnu government that this featuic of th ;
new tariff act Is more oppressive In Its
action against the sugar producers of that
country than any other , and violates the
spirit of the treaty arrangements between
the two governments , particularly In view of
the concession by which iho embargo against
American pork for u tlfne enforced by
Germany was raised. 'Ttii German ambas
sador raid the protest hud been entered In a

Hushing Criminal.
The recent recapture of Captain Henry
lovvgatc of Die United States weather scrv-
cc , an ofllcer who had defrauded his govern
ment ot nearly half a million dollars , and
after making his escape from the authorl-
.Ics , through an ofllcer's stupidity , succeeded
n eluding the secret service for fifteen years ,
ma been a nine days' topic for newspaper
discussion. Ills discovery In a basement
joolc stall on a crowded thoroughfare of New
York City , his broken down appearance , and
: ils evident despair over his rccacture , have
> eeu told In every city In the country from
New Yoilc to San Francisco , and with the
recital comes the story , now almost forgot
ten , of the brilliant captain's exploits fifteen
years ago , when he was the Idol of Wash
ington society and the trusted ugent of the
government.
Nebraska furnishes an Interesting sequel
to the long story of Captain Howgate's career.
U Is full of romance and equally full of
significance , tor when the story , which Is
now given to the public for the first time. Is
known In ofilclal circles , Investigations may
follow which will Implicate prominent Ne
braska citizens and lead to the recovery of
large pottlons of the money stolen fiom the
government by the daihlng military officer.
The Associated press dispatches which
first brought the news of Captain How gate's
recapture , btated that shottly after his ar
rest ho was , joined by a woman known as
Mrs. Williams. This woman appeared to be
a confidential friend of the captain and when
she appeared he shook hands with her In a
most cordial manner. They conversed in
whispers for some time and before ehc left
she gave him a large sum of money from a
well filled purse.
The sequel to the eventful history of Cap
tain Howgatc Is woven around the peisonality
of this mjthlcal Mrs. Williams. The woman
referred to under so commonplace u name Is
or rather was Miss Nellie Burrell , a young
lady who spent her girlhood days in the
little town of De Witt , In Saline county , this
state. The manner In which Nellie Durrell
first attracted the notice ot u distinguished
army ofllcer , became his mistress , fled from
her home and kindred , became his ardent
and faithful companion through years of
wanderings and adversity , forms the romantic
portion of the history of Howgate's career.
MET HIS MISTRESS IN NEBRASKA.
A region of wonderful lovlinebs lies on
either bank of the Illg Blue river as It
lally sweeps through meadow nnd timberland -
land In Saline county , Nebraska. There
were a short time since but lew Inhabitants
to mar the beauty of nature In this valley
by unsghtly | but practical Improvements , but
among the few there existed a fond parent
with a daughter of marvelous loveliness. .
This wild flower ot the pralres | was Nellie.
Burrell , and she possessed a form as perfect
as a Heba and a bcauty-as jadlant-as u glowIng -
Ing Venus. W hllo slll | a trusted ofljcujr of
the government , Captain Howg.ie ( accom
panied a party of friends to Nebraska on a
hunting expedition. Clir.uce led the party
to Do Witt , and there the captain became
acquainted with Nellie Burrell. To the
simple mind of the village beauty the
dashing captain was a denu-god. He wa *
everything that the heurt of a young girl
could demand. The denouement came quickly
enough. When the captain returned to
"Washington he carried the girl's heart with
him. She had promised to forsake home and
kindred for him and she only waited for hie
summons.
Returning to Washlntgon , Captain How-
Ktte or some of his personal friends enlisted
the influence of Senator Paddock and hud
Nellie Burrell appointed to a place In one
oC the depirtmsnts , The g rl went to Wash
ington , ostensibly as a department clerk , but
In .milky . as ths mistreat , of the man who
had visited hei Nebraska home only to ac
complish her ruin. Once In Washington she
was Installed In u suite of apartments but
a short distance from ths residence f Cap
tain Howgatc. Here she was surrounded bj
every luxury that capr.clous fancy could
dictate or suggest. Here the trusted officer
of the government passed his lime.
Ths rtory of Captain Howgate'a full Is
well known ind has but recently been retold
In every detail. When the crash cume How-
BJtu was a defaulter to his government In
the Bum of almcat ' -.00,000. He left his
place In social circles and became an Inmate
of a prison cell. On the night of Apr I 1- ,
1SS2 , he Induced an officer to accompany him
to his residence , and there , while the young
ladles of the family entertained the unsub-
pcctlng ofllcer of lh& law so charmingly in
the parlor , the Indicted captain escaped
through a rear door. The night twallowed
him completely , and from that date to the
day last vveclc when ho was discovered the
world knew not the whereabouts of Captain
Howgate. It Is not known that his devoted
mistress. Nellie Uurrell , accompanied him
in his flight.
TRANSFERRGD HIS PROPERTY.
From this point the story of Captain How-
gato's western wanderings Is one of Interest ,
for the reason that It was not until after he
made his sensational escape that he began to
Implicate other parties with his plans to se
cure for himself the plunder he had taken
from the government. A short time after
his escape In the cast Captain Howgate mul-
denly appeared ct Sioux City. la. , where lit-
plac d himself under t'i p otect on ot a frlen I
upon whose loyalty he could rely. He told
this friend that ho had some Florida lands
that he "wanted lo cover up , " go that they
could not fall Into the hands of the govern
ment. At this point the conspiracy com
menced. How gate was sent to another frlsnd
at Nebraska City , Tlio Nebraska C.ty man
was taken Into confidence und his advice
asked for. Ho finally stated that there uas
but ono man of lib acquaintance who pos
sessed the necessary qualifications demanded
by the exigency. That man , he said , was a
sharp attorney living at Beatrice , a man who
had already attained some prominence lu
the state , and one who had on several occa
sions proven hla shrewdness ,
Howgate went to the Heatilce Ltto ney He
was recognized by a gentleman who happened
to be at the train when he arrived. At llrst
this man thought to give Howgato up to the
authorities In order to obtain a icwurd. Af
terwards , learning that the reward was email ,
he concluded to siy nothing. Hougata went
from the train to the. residence ot the attor
ney to whom ho had been recommended by
hla Nebratlca City frltnl. The two were BCII
In consultation , an4 then Howgite dlsup-
pcnrcd for several months. Again he wen )
to Beatrice and again he held long , secluded
conferences with the HOJtrice attorney. Upo.i
the occasion of this last visit Nellie Burrell
accompanied him. At this vUit It IK claimed
that the land held by Hougate was deeded to
either Nellie Burrell or the Beatrice attor
ney , or both. At the ramo time No ! IS'H par
ents were called to Beatrice , and when the )
went home they cirrled with them deeds tea
a home In Florida , They emigrated to thai
Eouthern state olmott Imme.llately , and they
still r < ; s ! e thtre.
There Is considerable evidence to corrobo
rate the story that Howgate made the Be-
atrlco attorney his truites for the Florida
land * . In 18SG Hen , N. K. Grlgfcs. at one
time the United mate * consul at Chemnitz
and at present the geneiul solicitor for the
L'ncoln ' & Black Hills Railroad company ,
stated to a mutual friend that Howsale hat
vlalttd the attorney at Beatrice uevcrhl times
during the period that ht wan a fugitive
from Justice Mr. Grlgg * Is a resident of
Beatrice , or rather was until within u
year part , llu elated too , that upon the
occasion of one of the visits made by How-
gate to Beatrice It * attorney , la question
v.is given n trust deed for 40,000 acres of
choice landtf In Florida ,
STATEMENT OF Tlin ATTORNEY.
The Beatrice attorney , ot course , remem *
icrs absolutely nothing about the land trans
action. Ho possesses a lively recollection ot
he woman In the care , however , and to a
representative of The Bee this week has
node the following- statement :
"Hcwgate made- the ncqmlntanco ot Nellie
Jurrell In Washington , where she had received
nn appointment as clerk In one ot the de
triments through the Influence of Senator
'addock ' , Nellie Biirrell's father was a cau-
lldate for state senator from Saline county
n this state In 18SO , and made a contest
it to the election of Dawes , his opponent. "
The attorney nt Beatrice , however , claims
hat there Is no truth In the story that How-
jrate has visited Beatrice since his escape.
" docs admit that Nellie Burrell has been
constantly \vlth How gale during all of his
vnmlerings , and that she was with him up
o the lime of hla capture In New York last
veck.

ot Importance to Omaha and Council Bluffs
was decided. Its title Is Stuto of Iowa
ev rel J. W. Crossland against the Omaha
& Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge conj-

Jluffs Railway and Bridge company of Ne-
jrnska , appellants ; from the superior
court of Council Bluffs ; J. 12. F. McGee ,
ludge. Reversed In part and modified and
affirmed In part ; opln'on by Justice Given ,
The two defendant companies were or
ganized simultaneously , and arc composed
) f the Fame men , tor the purpose of build-
ng a bridge and operating a line of street
railway between the two cities. The city
cf Council Bluffs voted n 12 mill tax to aid
the Iowa corporation and granted It a
franchise upon certain conditions , among
them bslng that the tracks shall be laid to
conform to the established grade of the
Btrccts. Otherwise it must conform to the
surface of the ttreets. It was also required
that the company should pave between Its
rails nnd one foot outside ; that where tracks
are laid upon a street already paved the
company should pay the abutttlriK propeIy
owners the cost of the paving between the
ra'ln and one foot outside. The Iowa
company agblgned all Us rights to
the Nebraska corporation and received
half the stock of that corporation , which has
operated the bridge and railway. This was
done to nvoM complications of two corpora
tions and to make sure that the congres
sional charter was compiled with. It Is now
sought to compel the forfeiture of the charter
of the two corporations because they have
failed to comply with the- conditions of the
ordinance quoted , and that the Nebraska cor
poration has fa led to comply with chapter
70 , ac's ' of the Twenty-first general assem
bly , requiring foreign corporations to receive
permits to transact business In the slate.
The lower court granted the prnjer of the
refjtor for the forfe'ture ot the charters of
both corporations on the grounds stated , The
Biinreme court rpverses the JtHttmont as tn
ie I \ a coiportl3n. holding that the gronuls
are Insulliclent lor a forfeiture cf charter , be
cause the complainants have u remedy In the
courts In an action against the compiny If
they have suffered damage.
The Nebraska corporation Is given sixty
