It advices from Corea are true there seems no doubt that the Japanes ; forces operating against the Chinese are lively to bo hemmed In. Dis patches received hero from Taoan bring ad ditional confirmations of the reports thnt the wliol > cf southern Corea has risen against the Japanese. It also seems to be confirmed that the Japanese force of 2,000 men , who attempted to inarch from Fusan lo Seoul , have met with disaster serious enough to compel them to return to the former place with 1,200 of their number missing. From this It Is judged that serious fighting must have taken place , ua It Is not believed that the 1,200 mUsIng soldiers will reach Fusan , A force of 200 fresh troops has arrived at Fusau In order to protect the Japanese set- tlem nt at that place against un anticipated attack upon the part of armed bands of Tog- liaka gathering in the neighborhood. Opu.jral Leu-Vung-Fu , the prominent black flag chief of Annan , has received orders from the throne to d-part us soon as possible for the Is.and of Formosa , where ho Is to act as assistant Imperial high war commissioner. Genera ! LcuYunFu at the end of August attempted to transport GOO soldiers from Bwatow to Formosa. Itut , hearing rumors that the Japaiufce squadron wai cruising In the vicinity of Formosa , the captain of the Hteainer engaged * * to transport the Chinese troops would not put to sea tn splto of the entreaties and threats ot the black flag gen eral. Nothing daunted. General Leu-Yung- Fu succeeded In smuggling his men across to the island In Fiuall parties , In any boats lie could obtain possession of , and whenever there was a , chanc * of so doing. In this connection It Is icported that the transport steamer referred to was afterward overhauled by three Japanese cruisers , who sent boats of tinned men to board her. The Japanese officers demanded the ship's papers , carefully examined th m , and then searched the bleanjer , evidently having received Informa tion to the effect that General Leu-Yung-Fu was likely to be or. board of her. A disastrous fire , attended with considera ble loss of lf ? , Is reported to have occurred at 'Chung-King- the evening of August 25. The conflagration Is said to have raged all night , nnd before midnight the whole of the southeastern portion of the city was In flames. About .thirty persons are known to have perished during the Ure , and U Is prob able that this number is far less than that which will eventually be shown to represent the actual loss of llfo. It Is roughly esti mated that the losa by the fire will amount to fully 10,000,000 taels. About 2,000 buildings were destroyed , including part ot the Taotal's Yamon ( city hall ) and throj Chinese temples , No foreign houses vero burned. The -Tao- tal's wife , who van In feeble health , suc cumbed to the shock , Chinese authorities now admit tlulr belter that the Japanese Intend to attempt an invasion of China. Chlniso rein forcements nrc being hurried to the front as rapidly as possible. Fifteen thousand troops have arrived at Tlen-Tsln. Further advices say that the loss by the flro will amount to 15,000,000 taels. Chung- King Is situated on the upper portion of the Yang-Tse-Kiang. Further details received trom Corea say that the Japanese force ot 2,000 men was sent to attempt to open up a line of communica tion ' ( "twcen Fusan and Seoul , Ihe advance wan opposed by the Coreans In force , who c-ventuiilly compelled the Japanese to return > o Fusan with a loss of 1,200 men. The 2.COO men sent to reinforce the Japan ese are now guarding Sorlo , which Is expected to be attacked by the Longnaks. niUIIINa BRITISH SOLDIERS , HONO KONO , Sept. II.

The Lucanla , Captain McKay , which sailed from New York September 8 , has broken the Campania's cast- ward record. Slip passed Browhead at 1:05 : o'clock this morning. She reached Daunt's rock at 3:17 a. tn. , thus beating the Campania's time by over two hours. Her time from New York was Jlvo days , eight hours and thirty-eight minutes. It was only two weeks ago that the Campania arrived with a recnl , then one hour and twenty minutes better than the previous best , Her tlmo la now reducid , however , by two hours and nine minutes. The remarkable performance- the Lu- ranln. has created considerable excitement In chipping circles hero and In London and la a matter of public comment. The Lu- canl.Va days runs were 447 , M2 , 401 , C14 , COtJ and S37 , making a total of 2,810 knots , ' her average speed being 21.4 knots. A singular feature ot the trip Is the fact that the Lucanla's ' records for both the cast- word and westwml voyages are Identically tl o same , viz , f > days , 8 nous and 3 $ min utes , but on the prcicnt eastward trip she covered a dlstinco of twenty-three miles m re than elio did on her record breaking tr p last month.

LONDON , Sept. 14. Hon. W. L. Wilson , congressman from West Virginia , has arrived here , and was today Interviewed at the Hotel Sivoy. He ssld he was perfectly well , hla he-tilth having been Improved greatly on the voyage over. He was here , he said , merely on a pleasure trip , and would sail for New Ycrk on September 20. In regard to Iho t.trlft bill , he said he considered the bill which the house of rep resentatives passed a far better measure than the bill pscsed by the senate , though even with this he believed that Americans would be able to hold their own with the trading world better than they were for merly able to do. Mr. AVIls n d d not giro a direct answer to the question as to how the bill would affect llrltlili trade. He said the bill was purely American and was framed fcr Americans. The democrats , he ssld , were a low tariff party. He would not venture lo say whether the party Intended to make any further move In that direction. Ileferrlng to the recent election In the state of Maine , the gentleman from West Virginia said that he did not consider the tepubllran victory as a pronounced crltl- c'tm of the tariff legislation of congress. According to Mr. Wllscn some of the demo crats of Maine are thoroughly angered nt ccrUIn tariff reductions , especially at the reduction of the duty on lumber. But , he added , Maine's situation prevents that state from being an Index of the political cur rent of the United States. Alt. Wilson decidedly stated that President Cleveland had no thought ot again being a candidate for the presidency. Messrs. Iteed and McKlnley were , In his opinion , candi dates for the republican nomination , but he thought the republican party would probably select a tariff conservative , like Allison. The United States , Mr. Wilson also said , would never revert to "McKlnleylsm" or tea a blind , greedy selfish protection. The tariff will not be attacked , and when congress meets Its errors , which are of detail only , will be corrected. i.i'.o iiv A no * lEovolt 111 the I'lJI fglntuM llrnilcn by n Lnd of Sixteen.

Ono ot the condemned wus u boy of about 1C , who was responsible for the entire tragedy , he having proclaimed himself devil priest and urged h'a fellow tribesmen to return to an ancient custom of nuperstltlous worship. When the troops look tha field against the mountaineers It was tills boy who declared that the fortifi cations in the hill top were strong places , and prepared with scientific skill to res'st 'Tlio charge and meet the volleys of the sharpshooters , In consideration of his youth the executive council commuted his sentence to ten years Imprisonment , at the same time remitting the capital penalty In thp cases of two othcrr , who -will serve In ctm'ns for twenty yearn. The two eldest and fiercest of the rebels were told the law must take Its course- , and they were executed on the 10th of August. There is still a certain amount of dis quiet throughout the Islands among the fol lowers of the boy priest , who are only par tially satisfied with the commutation of his sentence and still threaten to make trouble- .

The best politicians are behind Brecldnrldge. and all of the known methods for vote making are being employed by them. They are working as though It were a matter of life and dentil and concede that the friendship of the ladles Is their greatest danger. CLOSED THE CAMPAIGN.

( Special Tele- gram. ) While standing Iti the business office of the Tribune tills morning , Will M. Maupln was brutally assaulted by L. V. Itlchnrds. Itlchards struck a vicious blow at Maupln's face , while the latter was leaning against the counter. The two men Immediately clinched , and In the ECU ( lie that ensued , Illcliards got'ono of Maupln's fingers between his teeth and chewed ! > . llko a starved dog , Maupln threw Hich arils to the floor , but Richards being much the heavier man man aged to turn upon his aide , but he was unable to get In any blows save the first cowardly ono , The assault wus so sudden that Maupln had uo clianco to strike a blow In his cwn defense. Mr , lllchaids' pugilistic propensities maybe bo accurately measured by a comparison be tween his size and that of the man ho as saulted. Klchnrcls weighs 200 pounds , while Maupln weighs less than 133. The trouble grew out ot a squib Maupln published In tbc North IJetul Republican , relating a conversa tion which took place between a "p-omlnent Dodge county politician" nnd MscC II In the latter's headquarters at the Mlllard hotel. Illcliards , In Ma egotism , assumed that he was the "prominent politician" referred to. Since the assault Itlclmnls lias remained close to Ms ofllc ; .

Sept. 14 , ( Special. ) The distribution yesterday of hand bills announcing that E. Roscwatcr Is to speak hero Saturday evening- has caused considera ble excitement within the ranks ot the rail road manipulators who have succeeded In making the republican party the minority party In Dodge county. There Is no doubt hat there Is a movement on foot to prevent republicans from attending the meeting , but t will have no effect , save among that class * of republicans whose sole ambition Is to hold an annual pass on the Elkliorn. with an oc casional trip pass thrown In for a friend. If .hey dared , the manipulators would endeavor : o get up a counter attraction , but they realize that If they did It would reveal the weakness of their cause. They could only hope to attract those who are already bound to them by railroad ties , but the thinking republicans will attend the meeting. Of 'his there Is no doubt. Tour correspondent lias talked to a great many republicans here during the last three days , and there Is a "esllng ot soreness In republican ranks which presages 111 for the head or the ticket. This reeling of soreness Is not wholly due to the nomlqatlon of Majors , but to the disreputa ble tactics the Majors men assd in this county to secure a disproportionate share of the Dodge county delegation. _ . , .Liut spring JfncCplI cpmo to this city and announced that he would be a candidate for the republican nomination .for . governor. While here ho had n talk with L , D. Hich- ards. At that time Richards said ho was already committed to Majors , but for the sake of harmony he would not make any fight , to Ficure a Majors delegation. Hammond mend , editor of the Tribune , at the same time announced that he was personally for MacColl. But soon after the campaign for the nomination opened up. Hammond came out for Crounse , while Richards began n warm campaign for Majors. The MncColl men at once Instituted nn earn-st fight , and the opposition soon saw that the Dawuon county men had the greatest strength. Then Hammond and Tllchards began talking about dividing the delegation equally between Croilnso , Majors and MacColl , urging that It bo done In the Interests of harmony. This was objected to by the MacColl men. who said they were willing to light It out In th ? convention and abide by the result. But Richards and Hammond used the "harmony" Idea to good advantase , and when the county convention was held they managed to se- cur ; the proposed division of the delegation. A committee ot ono from each ward and precinct was named to select fifteen delegates to the state con vention , the delegation to be equally divided between the three men named. The MacColl men were all from the country precincts and unused to the wiles of the Fremont gang. That committee named the delegation , and as soon as It was named It was seen that Rich ards and Hammond had secured what they sought the greater portion of the delega tion for the gentleman from Nemoha. The 11 rat man named on the delegation was Ross Hammond , who was named as one of the five Crounse delegates. He was made chair man of the delegation. On'the Informal bal lot the vote was announced as "five for Majors , five for MacColl and five for Crounse. " On the first formal ballot Chair man Hamond arose and announced the vote as "five MacColl and ten Majors , " without polling the delegation. The five Crounso delegates were named because they were Majors men. And after the convetlon was j over Richards openly boasted of the way he and his henchmen had fooled the country suckers. The gang realized at the begin ning' of the Dodge county republican con vention that It was In the minority , so Its members lied In order to acomnltsh their ends. Before this outrageous action there was every Indication that Dodge county would give hamUome pluralities to the republican candidates for representatives and senator. The day afterwards there was not a republi can In the county not even a member of the machine who would claim that the republi can legislative ticket had the ghost of a show. Dodge county republicans arc sore , and there Is' no use trying to disguise the fact. They have seen the party vote In the county reduced every year because of the management of the Fremont gang of rail road tools , and the action In the last county convention was the last straw , If the gang denies that there Is this sore feeling. It may be possible to publish I ho names of a largo number of republicans who have openly stated to your correspondent that they In tend to scratch Mojort as a rebuke to the dis reputable methods of the men who foisted him upon the ticket. If there Is any doubt that the railroads managed the Dodge county fiasco , let the doubters look at this fact. All of the dele gates who went to the convention as Majors men traveled on pastes , while four of the MacColl men palij their fare , the other Mac- Cell man BC-curing transportation because he Is a county official. The MacColl men were emphatically denied transportation. Hut the funny part of Dodge county poll- tics Is that Richards Is. housing a senatorial bee In his hat. Unless Hansen and Burns , the republican candidates lor the legislature , come out eoon and declare that they will 1 .not under any circumstances -vote for Hlcli- l ard > , they will not poll 10 per cent of that 'i ] republican vote. As It Is , they will poll lesa ' than two-thirds as many votes as the candi dates for the fame office two years ago. This IH not because the people have anything In particular against Meiers.

Grubb of Camden , N , J. , past national treasurer 'of the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Repub lic , Is charged with misappropriating the funds of that organization. This statement created a sensation. The proceedings were secret. One of the ladles who la In standing makes tile statement that Mrs. Grubb de faulted to the amount ot $500 , and suits have been brought against her bondsmen. Mra. Grubb , shfi says , was re-elected to the office several times , and had the confidence of the ladles to such an extent that the aud itors In going over her boohs considered It necessary only to make a cursory examina tion. How long the shortage has existed Is not Mated , but at the Washington encamp ment the books were thought to be correct and Bho was re-elected. At Indianapolis. In 1S33 , when a treasurer was re-elected , Mrs. Grubb failed to turn over feme of the bcoka , and an Investigation disclosed the discrep ancy. When Mrs. Carrie V. Sheriff , who was president In 1S92. learned ol the facts , she , together with Attorney John Vamlersllco of Philadelphia , conferred with Mrs. Grubb , nnd suit was filed through Voorhees & Co. . of Camden. The case will come to trial next month. It appears that nothing of this was known to the members of the order until to day. In the very warm dlscutslon which fol lowed the announcement , Mrs. M. A. SUvcns of Camden , a member of the council of ad ministration , and Mrs. Laura McNear , the first national president , made urgent appeals In behalf of Mrs. Grubb and suggested tl < at the ladles donate enough to make up the deficiency , hoping to keep the scandal from the public. Others , however , bltlvly de nounced the ex-treasurer and Insisted that the law take Its course. The majority voted In favor of prosecution and the end Is not yet. The excuse made for her by her friends Is that when she used the money It was to help her husband out of financial straits and she cou'.d not rUurn It when called upon. o Helen CotigHr I.OHCS JlurSult , BOSTON.

BARRETT SCOTT CONVICTED Ei-TiCQsnror Fount !

NIIMGH , Neb. . Sept , H. ( Special Telo gram. ) This morning tln > jury before which Barrett Scott , the def.uilthiK ex-treasures uf ilolt county , was tried brought lit a ver dict of pullty and flxcd the amount of the embezzlement at { 32,252. Ilarrctt Scott's career Is one ot tlm most plcturespuo In the annals of defalcations , Much has been printed , but the half lus prob- nbly never been told. Scott's troubles dale from the nuccndency of the populists In Holt county. He was personally icry popular , and was elected treasurer by a handsome ma jority on the- republican ticket - , while- the populists secured nearly every other olllco in the county. Before his term was closed ugly ) stories were sot afloat concerning hU admin * Islrallon , and the Hoard of Supervisors of Holt county concluded to make an Investiga tion. Before this was concluded Scott hail been rcnomlnatcd. He was re-elected by a , slightly reduced majority , his friends refus ing to believe that he had been criminally ; negligent and accepting his assertions that everything In his administration could ba Bhown up perfectly straight. Shortly after * his second term was commenced the * Holt County bank failed hud took with It a largo eutn of county money. At this time Scott was keeping the money belonging to tha county In banks , nnd the supervisors de manded that he withdraw It nnd place It In the county vaults. As thtse were unsafe , Scott refused to comply with the order. Impeachment proceedings were com menced , To prove that ho could products Ihe cash at any time Scott had carried lr and counted out to the board the $7G.OOO he was supposed to have belonging to the county. Next the Biifllclrncy of Scott's of ficial bond was questioned , and he was or dered to secure additional sureties. He tools his bond , had two names added to It , anil returned It. It was still declared Insuf ficient. and the ofllee of treasurer of Holt county was declared vacant , Scott being ousted for cause by the Board ot Super visors. All this tlmo Mr. Scott hnd posed as a republican victim of populist persecution , and his friends stood staunchly by him. Soon , however , even tholr faith was shaken , for Scott nil of a sudden disappeared , and , It was announcad he had taken a wlnton trip to Texas , Pursuit proved he hail gene to Mexico. Extradition was undertaken , and a long chain' of legal complications fol lowed. " Scott was arrested In Chihuahua , south of Juarez , and finally returned 1o | O'Neill and sent to jail. Legal machinery , was set In motion to effect his release. Habeas corpus failed , and several lull bonds were prepared and rejected. HU ball wag originally fixed at flS.OOO , but was Ifttop raised by Judge Klncaid to | 75,000. , Thla amount was claimed to bo excessive , but the court refused to lower U , Recourse d the supreme court gave no relief , an-d finally , after Scott had b&en nominally In jail for , several months , he was liberated on ball' ' . His case was taken , 'to Antelope county on A change of venue , and the trial com menced there last weeli , resulting In a con viction today. About a year ago The Bee printed a page of matter concerning Scott'a career. It waif a most startling recital of misconduct In the handling of public funds' , and the charges made In that have been practically sub stantiated in the trial here. Kfforts to recover the money misappro priated have been all but flat failures. Suit was brought against Scott's ' bonds men In the name * of Ilolt county to recover $30,000. Judge Chapman , who had gone to try the case , decided that tha action of adding two additional names to ) the list of sureties on the bond had released the bondsmen and that Scott alano waa liable. This leaves the county almost hope- > less. At the- same tlmo the court declared worthless fS.OOO In tax receipts disposed ot by Scott to a Sioux City bank while on his way to Mexico. f > MT uur insi Hurried n Strip til I'nrcst MUy "MIL'S In \Vldtli. MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 14 , Klrby Barnum , wlro owns a farm near the boundary of tha lied Lake Indian reservation , has returned from a perilous trip down Thief river , which ! skirts the reservation on the west. The trip ; was made In a small passenger steamer tha.fi piles between the agency and Thief nlven Falls , a distance- 120 miles , Nearly half of this trip was made between walls of flame , Mr. Barnum says- that the flames have Jumped Thief rjver and cut a swath through , the dcnso forest sixty miles wide. The whole country Is aflame , but owing to the fact that communication is slow little has been heard about It further south. The steamer wag forced to go three and tour miles at a time' , and then everybody would get off and standl In the water until the fierce heat had abated somewhat. Several times the boat was afire- , and It wan only with the utmost difficulty that It was saved. The water In HID river has been raised to sucli a temperature by the fire that Its surface was covered wltlt millions of dead fish. Bear , deer and othce largo game were Hoeing from the flames In. great confusion. Many small canoe parties of Indians were encountered making thcU way down stream as best they coulJ. There } has probably been losa of life among them , Mr. Barnum said that the fire originated In a blaze set by a man who tried to get con trol of some hay land from the government ) H was given to another mini , and , out o ( spite , he hired two men to fire it. The flames soon spread to the forest and have bscn burning ever slnco.
