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.

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.

Preparing to .Alakn Coponlingcn tlio Great I'ort of tlm llnltlr. 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.

Nov 9 Today on altar was erected In Sheriff Ryan's private otllco at the county jail and a prisoner Indicted for embezzlement was mauled to a fair young girl from Houston , Tex. The prisoner Is James N. Hray , the 21- j ear-old son of an English army oflleer of 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 lltted up luxurious bachelor apartments , purchasing an elegant piano on the Install ment plan.

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. GOIUIAN NOT UOKKIii > .

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.

DALLAS , Tex. , Nov. 9 Not more than one-third ot the vote of the state has been reported officially , but enough Is known to predict the success of Culberson , democrat , for governor by about 40,000 plurality.

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.

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.

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.
