JAPS REPULSED AT PING YANG.
They Made an Attempt to Surprise tin
Chinese at Night hut Were Driven
Off With a Heavy I.oa*—Enllst
ment of Furopeane by China
Stopped — Two Hundred
Chinese Drowned.
London, Sept. 17.—A dispatch re
ceived here from Seoul, Corea, dated
September 10, says that the Japanese
force moving1 from Uensaa has com
pletely routed the Chinese at Sing
Chuen. Hoth sides are reported to have
lost heavily.
The vigorous press censorship which
has been in force in Japan since
the war with China was declared
has been relaxed but local news
papers are still prohibited from
publishing any news regarding the
progress of the war or about the
movements of the army or fleets. The
mikado, accompanied by the members
of the court, left Tokio September 13
for Hiroschina, the point of embarka
tion of the Japanese troops sent to
Corta.
A shanghai dispatch received here
to-day announces that six survivors of
the .persons aboard the Chinese trans
port Chan, which stranded in the Che
Tung pass recently with 1,400 troops
on board while on her way to the
island of Formosa, have arrived there.
It was at first announced that, in
spite of the panic which prevailed on
board the transport after she went
ashore, all the troops and crew were
saved in the ship’s boats,,but the six
estimate that about 200 soldiers were
drowned.
News has reached the Tien-Tsin
from Ping-Yang that the Japanese on
the night of September 13 made an
attempt to surprise the Chinese camp,
but were repulsed with heavy loss.
The movements of the Japanese
troops were impeded by the standing
crops, which also hid the enemy from
them.
A dispatch from Hong Kong says
that the enlistment of Europeans for
the Chinese service has been stopped.
Seven men belonging to the Southern
department of the customs service
have returned to their former duties.
The whole Southern squadron has
been ordered to the South.
PLUNGED ON WHEAT.
An Unknown California Magnate Stand*
to Lose a Full Million Dollar*.
San FkancjscO, Sept 17.—-Somebody
stands to lose a million dollars on
wheat, and San Francisco grain men
are wondering who it is. For months
L. F. McGlaughlin bought wheat for
some unknown speculator until he had
accumulated between 175,000 and 200,
000 tons for which he paid an average
price of $1.20 per cental. At present
prices he cannot realize within thirty
live cents of as much as he paid
per cental for this immense quantity
of wheat It is said by gral:i dealers
here that ex-Senator James G. Fair is
the only man on the coast who has
enough ready mo.'.ey to back Mc
Glaughlin in such a big deal and it
now looks as if he had made an error
in his calculations that will involve
the loss of $1,000,000. When McGlaugh
lin began to buy last winter wheat
was never before so low. Under the
stimulus of big purchases the price
went up but it soon fell and wheat is
now lower than ever. It is calculated
that there are at present between 800,
000 and 900,000 tons of wheat in the
state that a market must be found for.
All this wheat must be shipped out
of the country and ship owners are
holding back for high charters.

UNCLE SAM’S FINANCES.
Internal Revenue Receipt* Very Small
and Custom* Returns Only Moderate.
Washington, Sept. 17.—The reve
nues of the government have fallen
almost 813,000,001 during the first
fourteen days of this month as com
pared with the last half of August.
The receipts from customs for the
first fourteen days of this month
amounted to 80,307,000 (in round num
bers) against 80,730,000 for the last
half of August, while the receipts
from internal revenue were but
82,303,000, compared with $30,034,000
for the latter half of August. The
loss is due to the enormous sums paid
on whisky withdrawn for consumption
just before the new tariff act increas
ing the tax from ninety cents
to $1.10 per gallon went into effect.
The receipts from internal revenue
for the first fourteen days of the
month dwindled to 82,937,000—about
$450,000 below the normal and were
not counterbalanced by an increase
in the receipts from customs due to
heavy importations under the reduc
ed rates immediately following the
enactment of the new law, the custom
receipts increasing only about $3,000,
000. The receipts from internal rev
enue are now confined almost en
tirely to the ta'x paid on beer, cigars,
cigarettes and tobacco, and average
about $250,030 per day, while for July
and August, when so much whisky
was being withdrawn, they' averaged
over 81.000.000 daily.
It is not expected the receipts from
the tax on alcoholic spirits will reach
normal again before January 1, 1893.
This will have the effect, it is be
lieved, of keeping the receipls of the
treasury down to about two-thirds of
the normal, or in other words to
about $22,000,000 per month until Jan
uary 1. This estimate leaves out of
account any large increase in the im
portations arising from the operations
of the new tariff law. The expendi
tures have averaged about$34,000,000,
but without the sugar bounty, which
is now a thing of the past, they will
be reduced to about $31,000,000. For
the next four months it is estimated
that the receipts will be about $88,
000,000 and the expenditures about
$124,000,000.

COUNTY FAIR.
Ten Thousand People Listen to nie Utter
ances—He Tell* Them That the New
Fancied Political Heresies Are Bad—
Declare* That the Income Tax I* the
Greatest Dancer in Oar Government—
Impartial Tariff Laws Hast Be Fasted.
Somervii.uk, N. J., Sept. 15.—Ten
thousand people from all parts of the
state attended the Somerville fair
yesterday—the great majority drawn
to see and hear Senator David Ii. Hill
and other notables. Mr. Hill made
an address in which he said:
‘To-day I plead for general legis
lation, which, rejecting the claims of
the classes, recognizes no distinction
of class, which embraces all occupa
tions, harmonizes conflicting de
mands, condemns political and busi
ness selfishness, and exalts the use of
pure, genuine and (unadulterated
patriotism. It is true good laws may
aid us and bad laws retard us in the
great struggle of life. Still the fact
should be impressed on every one
that good, bad or indifferent laws do
not of themselves alone ordinarily
make men rich or poor, good or bad,
vicious or virtuous, but that much, if
not almost everything essential, de
pends on individual efforts and ten
dencies, tastes and inclinations.
“New fangled political heresies
teach the government should own and
control everything used by man. The
railroads, the banks, the telegraphs
and many other of the manifold in
dustries and enterprises now conduc
ted by individual effort and capital
should all come under this plan. I
shall concede that it is wise and best
the government should regulate all
serai-public enterprises and institu
tions, but it should not own nor con
trol them in the sense in which the
teachers of these fallacies claim.
Such a condition would be fatal to
our government To bring about
these things would be the most fatal
of mistakes. It would be unwise to
add to the official patronage of a na
tional administration, especially as
that patronage is not always wisely
dispensed, nor would it be wise to in.
crease the channels of expense.
“If real estate is to be taxed all
such property should be taxed alike.
If incomes were to be taxed there
should be no distinctions as to the
amount. Small incomes should pay
in proportion as well as the large
ones. There should be no discrimina
tion. Such things are dangerous.
They engender classes. This is the
greatest danger of the government.
If the rich had to pay the taxes you
may rest assured it would not be long
before they would want to control
the government. When that time
comes, as I hope it never will, the
mistakes of the past will be seen.
Tariff laws must be passed which
will show no favoritism to any one.
There must be no favored few. The
laws should be made for all.”
CENSUS WORK ABOUT DONE.
Only One Division Not Yet Op—Years of
frlntlng to Come.
Washington, Sept. 15.—The work
of the eleventh census is about com
pleted, the work on population and
vital statistics being all that remains
to be done. The portion of the work
on population remaining uncompleted
Is that on occupations. The vital
statistics are made up largely from
the figures on population and have
been held back largely on account cf
the work in the population division.
Chief Clerk Down thinks that
in less than five months the work j
of the census will be completely
closed and the present force of 400
employes reduced to forty or fifty at
the outside. These will be experts ■
who will have charge of the proofs
from the printing office. An addition
al supplement to the compendium of
the census is yet to be issued.
But while the census work proper
will thus be finished in a few months,
it may be several years before the
work of printing is all done and the
completed work published. The com
pletion of the work at so early a
period is unusual, and to Superin
tendent Wright’s skill and experience
m handling1 statistics this is larsrelv
attributed. 6 J
