SHANGHAI , Nov. 9. The Chinese army
ot the north has retreated to the mountains ,
where the soldiers are reported to be starv
ing and Buffering severely from cold and ex
posure.
* * The Japanese army Is reported to be en
camped nt Feng Wang Cheng. The Japanese
are pursuing como 15,000 Chinese , mostly
now recruits.
Port Arthur Is not expected to make a de
termined stand against the Japanese.
Admiral Sir E. R. Fremantle , In command
of the British fleet , considers that Port Ar
thur will probably bo the scene of the last
engagement of any Importance between the
Chinese and Japanese.
LONDON , Nov. 9. A dispatch from Shang
hai says the panto In Nleu Chwang and
throughout Manchuria continues. Numerous
iountry people are arriving at Nleu Chwang ,
And two-thirds of the stores have been closed.
Chang Chi Tung arrived In Nanking last
evening with the remains of the viceroy of
Klang Chang. A war levy of $3 a head has
been Imposed In Hang Kovv. The people
probably will resist It.
The Pall Mall Gn/eUe prints a Yokahama
dispatch , saying that the Japanese are laying
torpedoes at Port Arthur , and are In other
ways completing the trap which they have
been preparing for the Chinese.
Mr. Uschlda , Japanese charge d'affaires In
London , said : "Japan could not accept , as
an answer to her proposals for reform In
Corca , the maintenance of a Chinese army
In the"peninsula. The presence of Chinese
troops in Corca meant merely a series of horrors
rors such as are now being perpstrate J In Man
churia. Japan never menaced Chinese Integ
rity. She did not Intend to break up the
empire , and certainly does not wish others
to do BO. The height of Japan's ambition Is
to sco China consolidated , freed from corrup
tion , prosperous , and open to commerce and
civilization. "
A dispatch from Shanghai says that all
s , the missionaries of the Presbyterian church
of Ireland who have been working In Man
churia have left the Interior and have arrived
In safety at Nleu Chwang.
Another dispatch from Shanghai says the
Japanese have undoubtedly captured Tallen
Wan , a short distance north of Port Arthur.
The Chinese fleet Is reported to have arrived
at Wei Hal Wei.

LONDON , Nov. 9. There are many Indi
cations that the glories of Lord Mayor's day
ore departing and the. Interest In the election
of the now lord mayor of London Is dying
out. The crowds which witnessed the pro
cession today , which , as usual , formed part
of the Installation of the new lord mayor ,
Alderman Sir Joseph ttsnals , vvero far smaller
than usual. In addition the decorations wore
tawdry , and the procession It.sclf was far
from comparing with those of some years
back. The day was mild and showery.
In accordance with custom , the now lord
mayor of London , Sir Joseph Ilcnals , gave a
banquet at the Guild hall tonight. The
principal speaker was Lord Rosebcry. Ho !
uald :
"We are determined to maintain a strict
neutrality , but , on the other hand , wo cannct
forget wo have shown a striking and tangible
proof of friendship with Japan by our recent
treaty , while wo have shown friendship for
China , In attempting to secure peace. We
acted thoroughly In accord with Russia. We
would still bo glad to join In any pacific
means to secure ai peace honorable to Japan
and not disastrous to China. The newspapers
have been advising the government to se-
l euro the opportunity now offered to enter
* Into a cordial entente with Russia. That
advice the government has already antici
pated , ( Cheers. ) Ever since the govern
ment's relations with Russia have been more
cordial than I over remember. The frontier
difficulties In Asia , which I hope
are almost the last of a danger
ous question between us , are now >
nearly terminated. The removal of this cause
of Anglo-Russian distrust will be a great
step toward universal peace There were
at present three elements endangering the
world's peace enormous atmaments , the
prods and armed explorations. " Ho did not
believe that the newspapers In their fierce
competition sufficiently weighed the eftecl 'ceof
their Intelligence. It hod been twice an
nounced In the. newspapers that New Zea
land desired or Intended to administer the
government of Samoi. The British govrrn-
mcnt did not think It necessaiy to contra
dict such absurd rumors , though they could
not fall to prejudicially affect the powers ,
with which drcat Britain was cg-opcratlng In
Samoa ,
"Our foreign policy , " he concluded , "Is dis
tinctly conservative. Wo covet nothing
abroid , and only want to maintain the status

COPENHAGEN , Nov. 9. Copenhagen was
declared a free port this morning and the
tonnage dues of 60 marks per ton were abolished
ished at all ports. The elaborate program
prepared for the opening of the port was
abandoned owing to the death of the czir.
The port dues have been reduced half and
have been converted Into an Impart upon mer
chandise which Is not applicable to goods In
transit.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 9 The opening of
the port of Copenhagen as a free port of enboi
try marks the Inauguration of an aggressive
commercial policy for Denmark by which
the government expects to greatly Increase
Its commercial Importance. Count de IlevcntI I I
low , the Danish minister , says all tonnage [
dues upon vessels entering the harbor , which
liavo amounted to a considerable tax upon
them , arc removed and a nominal pierage
charge Imposed as a substitute. Extensive
warehouse accommodations arc provided ,
which \vtll enable shippers to store goods at
small cost ( or reshlpment and distribution
among the other ports of the IJaltlo without
paying duty. The system Is relied upon to
make Copenhagen the. commercial center of
the Baltic and to Increase Its Incidental b-isl-
ness by making It the central depot for the
commerce of Russia , Germany , England , the
United States and other powers which pass
through the Baltic , and the station Tor transAtlantic -
Atlantic shippers to leave their cargoes for
distribution to other points. Improved ma
chinery for loading and unloadlng'cargoes Is
provided , and the works of the harbor , which
Is oneof the finest In the \\orld , because of
the absence ! of tides , have been extensively Im
proved. The systenr Is designed to offset
In a measure the advantages that Germany
expects to realise from the ship canal now
building across the peninsula from the Baltic
to the North sea , and to give to Denmark a
share of the business from the canal. The
United States minister at Copenhagen has
declared In two Interviews given to the press
of Denmark that the new arrangement will
Increase the commerce between that country
and America.

ship yaitl for the launching of the American
lljiu Bteamer St Louis on Monday next
This event has attrncteU more attention
than nny similar affair In recent years ,
because the St. Louis Is the llrst modern

larger scale than usual Mis. Cleveland Is

companied from Washington by a distin

cabinet and their wives The ship is 555
feet long , and when her stern Is In the
middle of the channel about 100 feet oC
her bow will still be on the ways , nnd If
there Is any title at all there Is danger of
the gieat hull being twisted. The launching

point of Ilia steel bow as it glides past her
Is built to accommodate 4W people On this

Hank of Commerce of this city against the

Jcfferey had this to say tonight In regard to
the suit : "The National llanlc of Commerce
Is an unsecured creditor of the Klo Grande

ate other unsecured creditors amounting lo
about $ JW,000 ) , and secured cieditors amountIng -
Ing to neatly $100.000 , making the Moating :

at this time to say what order the court

at the county jail and a prisoner Indicted
for embezzlement was mauled to a fair

The prisoner Is James N. Hray , the 21-

high rank. He on mo to Oils country several
years ago , locating for a time In Texas.
Some time ago he came to Cleveland and

on the Instrument he told It and was ur-

WASHINGTON , Nov. 9. A point that has
been overlooked In computing the political
complexion of the next senate Is the admission
.
sion of Utah with two senators. The act of
the last session of congress admitting Utah
provides that In March , 1S95 , the constitu
tional convention shall be held. On the first
Tuesday after the" first Monday In November
of that year the constitution Is to be sub
mitted to the people , and If ratified and found
by the president to be In accordance with
the act , ho will Issue a proclamation admit
ting It as a state. The act also provides that
a representative to the Fifty-fourth congress
Ehall bo elected at the same time the vote
Is taken upon the constitution ; also tint
state otllcers and a legislature shall be chosen
and that If the constitution Is ratified the
legislature shall Immediately meet and elect
two United States senators. As there Is
about a month from the time the election
Is held until the congrc 9 meets there will
be ample time to have all the formalities
completed and Utah proclaimed a state In
tlino for Its senators and representatives to
participate In the organization of the next
congress This would make In all ninety
senators and as the next senate now stands
the politics of Utah senators nould cut
an Important figure. Another probability
which arises Is the admission of both Now
Mexico and Aarlzona , which may be- accom
plished In tlmo so that four more senators
would participate In the organization of the
next senate. Bills have already passed the
house for the admission of both these
territories. The senate committee on terri
tories has reported them favorably to the
senate and they are now on the calendar.
Senators of both parties have been urging
their passage. It Is , therefore , milte likely
that the battle for the control ot the senate
will yet bo fought out In Utah , New Mexico
and Arizona next year. The admission of
these two states will tnako a total of ninety-
four senators. With the vice president the
democrats could control the senate with
forty-seven senators.

BALTIMORE , Nov. 9. Senator Arthur P.
Gorman was seen at his home near Laurel
yesterday by a representative of the Amer
ican ' ' Union. The senator Is Improved In
health and seemed In good spirits. Ho said
when asked as to the causes of the demo
cratic defeat that ho had not been paying
any attention to politics since the adjourn
ment of the senate , but that he had been
devoting the time to getting well and was in
much better condition than he had been for
some time. Ho said that the causes of the
defeat were serious , but It was hard to tell
what particular thing was most Influential
He said that In political battles as well as
In war men run for no particular cause. The
causes which existed In 1892 , when the re
publicans were defeated , continued now ,
whatever they were , and the democratic
party was suffering from the action of the
people just as the republicans had done at
that election. He did not think that the
defeat ct the- democratic party would be
lasting , but that everything would be right
after a while. The senator does not seem
to bo very much depressed with the re
sult , believing It to be only temporary.
Senator Charles Gibson called at the cus
tom house yesterday to pay his respects to
Subtreasurer Hammond Like the other
democratic leaders , Mr. Gibson was greatly
surprised at the result of the elections , but
would not express his views as to Its cause.

runs 10,000 to 15,000 behind the balance of

In the Thirteenth Glllllland , populist. Is
probably elected He Is leading by nearly
1,000 votes and the democratic strongholds
have been mostly heard from. In the Sixth

to determine between Abbott , democrat , and

"The defeat of the people's party In Kansas
Is due largely to the disgraceful compro

to the treachery perpetrated upon the people

lleve Governor Lewelllng would have been

Martin's letter and the bulldozing methods
and treachery of State Cbnlrman Brclden-

rificed the head of the ticket by endeavo
Ing to fuse In legislative and congressional

feat this year was assured when some crazy ,
Irresponsible , seeklng-for-notorlety woman
accepted republican pay to foist her pe

Lomnx of the Union Pacific , In his state

He assumes that the divisions prior to the

of fact they ivere wholly unsatisfactory , not
even being a mileage pro rota. He also
seems to forget that since the lease not only
the mileage of thlH road but Its bonded
debt has been neaily doubled. I have an
dea that Mi Lotn.ix. had been so used to
nake divisions foi ether roads that he has
'orgottcn there Is another way but he '

The Oiegon Railway & Navigation wants

the receiver's application concerning the
Olcott-Earle plan of reorganization of the
Reading railroad The motion won prac
tically for a rehearing In the reargtinlzatlon
matter , but Judge Dallas refused to grant
It. The grounds on which Mr llljur nked
for a lehearlng were that the plan changes
the rights of the parties who are before the
court , that an oversight was made In the
advertisement of the plan which would
mean the extinguishment of tome of the
bonds of the company Mr BIJur had not
proceeded far In Ins address "when It seemed
to Impress all concerned that his leal desire
was to place himself In a position to take

COFFEYVILLE , Kan. . Nov 9.-Two of
the Cook gang pludered the town of Luia-
pah , I. T , and left a bloody trail behind
them this afternoon. They entered the
town In their character of bold bandits ,
without any attempt at concealment , and
terioiled the citizens until they had car-
iled out their plan of robbery. E. E. Mel
ton , a biavc voting man who attempted to
stop them with his gun when they were
riding away , was shot ami instantly killed
Another man , whose name cannot be
icnrned tonight , Is reported to have been
beiluusly wounded lioth of the victims
were with a small force of citizens who
hastily armed themselves and attempted to
ptevent the escape of the bandits. The
tobbeis were mounted on fast horses and
weie heavily armed. Some of the citizens
claim to have lecoenlised them as ChciolCL-i
Bill and Jim French , well known as lien
tenants of Bill CcoK , the lender of the
gang. The robbcis held up the proptletors
of two Htotes and looted both places They
also robbed the postolflcc. John ShufoMt ,
the piopiletor of one store , lost $100 In
money nnd a gold watch Mr. Shufcldt
proclaimed his loss to the town before the
lubbers had finished their work , and the
band of citizens were almost between them
and their horses when the robbers weit
leadsto mount. An effort was mude to
stop them , Imt they uvvere pn horseback
vvllli drawn pistols , and were flying uway
before their would-be capture could make
a concentrated mov c. A repot t suys the
bandits are headed for Cofteyvlllf , which
Is only fifteen miles from Lenapah. This
place is the scene of many tragic rob
beries. and the police department , with
volunteeis , me piepared to meet them In
the same way they met the Daltons twt
yeais ago , when almost the entire band was
wiped out.

Tlio men who concocted the plot to count
lajors In and count Holcomb out
, come what
iay , are somewhat disconcerted and
con-
ounded by the publicity given to the con-
piracy. But some of the leading trplrlta
till persist In carrying out the program ,
has already been outlined by Tin * \
Dec. It may turn out In the end that this
as a heavy game of bluff to draw out-
funding bets on Majors , but the activity
hewn by the
Hurlington runners and tha
lystcrlous claims of alleged Majors major-
lies among Hurlington heelers would Indl-
ate that the conspiracy has not yet been
ban do ned.
The story which reaches us by way oj
-Incoln of a pretended
discovery of ballot
iox stuffing nt South Omaha In favor ol
lolcomb shows to
what desperate mcani
heso people will resort to cover their own
racks. The truth Is that the friends of
lolcomb In this city and In South Omaha
iavo reason to believe that the most out-
ageous frauds have been perpetrated at
South Omaha against Holcomb The elcc-
Ion boards were like a
jury or-
ranlzed to convict. In nearly every elec-
lon precinct all Holcomb men were dropped
ut after they had been placed upon the
lection board list. South Omaha Is a domo-
lopullst stronghold , and was conceded to be
nero than two to one In favor of Ilolcomb.
The lones't estimate before election placed
lolcomb's majority at 700. Some predicted
as high as 1,000. When the count was
finished Holcomb's majority had dwindled
down to 102. If there was any ballot box
stuffing at South Omaha , and the conspirators
are doubtless well Informed
, the padding was
against Holcomb , and If the threatened con-
est doej take place Holcomb will not suffer
> y the Inquiry. Hut some people In high
places may bo landed In the penitentiary.
YESTERDAY'S DEVELOPMENTS.
A prominent lawyer In this city , whose
name Is withheld for the present , was 1'card
to remark yesterday morning that Iluldrege
had ordered a contest at the meeting of lls :
understrappers Thursday night.
"Hut suppose there la no legal ground for
contest , " ventured a republican committee-
man.
'We ' will make grounds for contest , "
roared the czir , and the Imperial decree wa
Issued then and there.
This decision created a sensation. The
hirelings took the tip and during the night
und throughout the day rumors of a contest
spread over town. At Lincoln thuro v.as
renewed activity. The Majors contingent
had received fresh Inspiration It was evi
dent there that a now turn had been taken
and that Majors' chances haJ In some way
been revived. One story ran to the effect
that a slump had occurred In the Holcomb
column which gave Majors a clear COO plural
ity. Later It
was ascertained that a mem
ber of the state central committee wired that
statement to a number of points In the In
terior of the stite. The revival of drooping
spirits shown by the Majors gang at Lincoln
caused Holcomb's frlemh to Investigate , and
the Omaha office ot The Hen was deluged
with Inquiries as to the actual B'nto ol tha
vote on governor. Ono man telephoned Hat
It was reported In Lincoln that The Dee
would say that the Holcomb column had lost
1,700 votes , and would predict the possible
election of Majors.
DESPERATE SEARCH FOR EVIDENCE.
When It became known among the faithful
that the central committee was about to re
move Its headquarters tq Lincoln , \ilicro the
contest could better bo directed by the B < &
M. lawyers , there was renewed rejoicing. It
developed later that runners arc being sent
out Into the Sixth congressional district ,
where the czar Intends that grounds for a
contest of Holcomb's scat shall bo manufac
tured at any cost. Matt Daughcrty has also
announced that he proposes to contest tha
election of Kcm , and the boast 1& made tl'flt
Ilolcomb and Kcm must fall together.
While The Bee's Incontestable figures show
a safe plurality for Holcomb , the railroad
crowd continue to circulate reports of tht
