SulJcct: "Communion of Saints."
Text: "T -n sail tlioy unto !iim, Say

Do yon notice tt-pdifTcrenfe of pronnncln
tion Ijrtwfcn shibboleth, an l fstid oh-tli? A
very small an l unimportant difTcrener, voti
say. Ami yet that t.!ff.TT.ci Wits tho li!Ter
pneo between lifo nri'l'leath for a crroat many
peoplo. Tho Lord's yioople, Ciiloal an l
Ephraim. cot into a trre-it fl-j;ht, nn Eph
raim was worsted, an I on the retreat came
to tho fords of th; river Jordan to cross. Or
lfr was criven that all Ephraimites eominjr
there be slain. I'.ut how eoitld it bo found
out who were Epliraimites? They wr-re de
teetcd by their pronunciation. ShibLoleth
was a word that stoo 1 for river.
The Ephrairnites had a brogue of their
own, and when they trid to say "shib
ooleth" nlways left 'out the sound of the
"h. " When it was asked that they say shib
boleth, they said sibbo'.-th tin! were slain.
"Then said they un!o him. say now shib
boleth, and he said sibl oleth, for ho eonld
not frame to pronounce it riht. T:ien they
took him and slew S.im at the p-jesaos of
Jordan." A very small difference, you say,
between fiile.'id and Ep'traim, and yt how
much intolerance about that small differ
ence! The Lord's tribes In our time by
which I mean tho different denominations
of Christians sometimes matrniliy a very
small difference, and th only difference be
tween scores of denominations to-.btyistho
difference between shibboleth and sibboleth.
The church of God is divided into t freut
number of denominations. Time would tail
mo to tell ol the Calvinists. and the Armeni
ans, and the Sabbatarians, an I the Iiaxteri
ans, and the Hunkers, and the Shakers, and
the Quakers, and tho Methodists, and tho
JJaptists, find tho Episcopalians, and t!ie
Lutherans, ami tho Con.'rep;ationalists, and
tho Presbyterians, and the Spiritualists, and
a score of other denominations of religion
ists, sor t of them founded by very poo 1
men, some of them Sounded by vry ego
tistic men, some of them founded by very bad
men. Eut as I demand for myself liberty of
conscience I must pivothat same liberty to
every other in."n, remembering that lie no
more differs from me than I differ from him.
I advocate the largest liberty in ail reiiious
belief and form of worship. In art, in poli
tics, in morals arl in religion let there be
no y.T law, no moving of the previous ques
tion, no persecution, no intolerance.
You know that tho air and the wafer keep
pure by constant circulation, and I thinlc
there is a tendency in religious discussion
to purification and moral health, lietween
tho fourth and the sixteenth centuries th-i
church proposed to make people think
nri'lit by prohibiting discussion, an I by
strong censorship of tho press and r ick and
pibbet and hot h-ad down the throat tried to
make people orthodox, but it was discovered
that you cannot chanpo a man's belief by
twistinpoff his head nor make a man see
differently by puttinp an 'awl through his
eyes. There is something in a man's con
eeienco which will hurl off tho mountain
that you threw upon it. and, unsinped of tho
lire, out of the fl tmo will make rod wings
on which tho martyr will mount to glory.
In that timo of which I speak, between the
fourth and sixteenth centuries, people went
from the houso of God into the most ap
palling iniquity, and right along by con
secrate 1 alters thre were tides of drunken
ness and licentiousness such r.s tho world
never heard of, and tho very sowers of per
dition broko loose and flooded tho church.
After awhile tho printing press was freed,
and it broko the shackles of tho human
mind. Then the.-e came a largo number of
bad books, and where there was ono man
hostile to tho Christian religion there were
twenty men ready to advocate it, so I
have not pny nervousness in regard to this
battlo going on between truth and error.
Tho truth will conquer just as certainly as
that God is stronper than tho devil. Lot
error run if you only let truth run along with
it. Urged on by skeptic's shout and tran
Bccndentaiist's spur, let it run. God's angels
of wratli are in hot pursuit, and quicktrthan
eaple's beak clu.ches out a hawk's heart
Go i's vengeance will tear it to pieces.
I propose to speak to 3-011 of sectarianism
its c npin, its evils and its cures. There
are "lose who woul 1 niako us think that
this monster, with horns and hoo.:s, is re
ligion. I shall ciiaso it to its hiding p'aco
and drag it out of tho caverns of darkness
and rip off its hide. But I want to make a
distinction between bigotry and tho lawful
fondness for peculiar relipious beliets nnd
forms of worship. 1 have no admiration lor
a nothingarian.
In a world of such tremendous vicissitude
nn I temptation, and with a soul that must
after awhile stand beiore ,1 throne of in
EUlferablo brightness, in a day when tho
rocking of the mountains and the flaming of
tho heavens and tho upheaval of the s"as
eha.il be among tho least of the excitements,
to give account for every thought, word,
netion, preference nnd dislike, that man is
mad who has no religious preference. Iiut
our early education, our physical tempera
ment, our mental constitution, will very
much decide our form of worship.
A stylo of p:--..lmody that may please mo
may displease you. Some would like to have
a minister in gown and bands and surplice,
and others prefer to have a minister in plain
citizen's apparel. Some are most impressed
When a little child is presented at the altar
nnd sprinkled of the waters of a holy bene
diction "in the name of tho Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," and others
are more impressed when tho penitent comes
up out of tho river, his garments dripping
with the waters of a baptism which signifies
the washing away of sin. Let either have
his own way. Ono man likes no noise in
prayer, not a word, not a whisper. Another
man, just as pood, prefers by gesticulation
nnd exclamation to express his devotional
aspirations. Ono is just as good as the other.
"Every man iutlv persuaded in his own
mind."
George Whiteflold was going over a
Quaker rather roughly for some of his re
ligious sentiments, and the Quaker said
"George, I am as thou art. Iam for bring
ing all men to the hope of the gospel. There
fore, if thou will not quarrel with me about
my broad brim, I will not quarrel with thee
about thy black gown. George, give me thy
hand.
Iu tracing out tho religion of sectarianism
or bigotry I find that a great deal of it comes
from wrong education in the home circle.
There tire parents who do not think it wrong
to caricature and jeer the peculiar forms of
religion in tho world and denounce other
sects and other denominations. It is very
often tho ease that that kind of education
acts just opposite to what was expected, and
the children grow up, and after awhile go
and see for themselves, and looking in those
churches and finding that the people are
good there, and they lovo God and keep Jlis
commandments, by natural reaction they go
and ioin those very churches. I could men
tion the names of prominent ministers of the
gospol who spent their whole life bombard
ing other denominations, nnd who live.i to
see their children preach the gospel in those
very denominations. But it is often the case
that bigotry starts in a household, and that
the subject of it never recovers. There are
tens of thouspnds of bigots ten years old.
I think sectarianism and bigotry also
rise from too great prominence of nny one
denomination in a community. All the other
denominations are wrong, and his denomj
nation is right because his denomination is
the most wealthv, or tho most popular, or
the most influential, and it is "our" church,
and "our" religious organization, and "our"
choir, and "our" minister, and the man
tosses his head nnd wants other denomina
tions to know their places.
It is a great deal better in any community
when the great denominations of Christians
are about equal in power, marching side by
side for the world's conquest. Mere outside
prosperity, mere worldly power, is no evi
dence that the church is acceptable to God.
Better a barn with Christ in the manger
than a cathedral with magnificent harmo
nies roiling through the long drawn aisle
and an angel from heaven in tho pulpit if
there be no Christ in tho chancel .ind no
Christ in the robes.
Bigotry is often the child of ignorance.
fox seldom find a man with large intellect
who is a bigot. It is the man wlio thinks ho
knows a great deal, but does not. That man
is almost always a bigot. The whola ten
dency or education and civilization 13 to
bring a man out of that kind of state of min i
and heart. There was in the far east a great
obelisk, and ono sido of tho obelisk was
white, another side of the obelisk was green,
nnothr sldo of the obelisk was blue, and
travelers went and looked at that obelisk,
but they did not walk around it. One man
looked at one side, another at another side,
and they came home each one looking at
only one side, and they happened to meet,
the story says, and they got into a rank
quarrel about the color of that obelisk. One
man said it was white, another mm sai l it
was green, another man said it was blue,
and when they wen? in the very heat of the
controversy a more intelligent traveler came
and said : "Gentleman, I have seen that
obelisk, and you are all right, and you aro
all wrong. Why didn't you walk all around
the obelisk?"
Look out for the man who only sees one
side of a religious truth. Look out for the
man who never walks around about these
great theories of God and eternity and tho
dead. lie will be a bigot Inevitably tho
man who only sees one side. There is no
man more to be pitied than he who has in
his head just one idea no more, no less.
More light, less sectarianism. There is noth
ing that will so soon kill bigotry as sunshine
God's sunshine.
So I have set before you what I consider
to be the cause of bigotry. I have set before
you the origin of this great evil. What are
some of the baleful effects? First of all, it
cripples investigation. Yu are wrong and
I am right, and that settles it. No taste for
exploration, no spirit of investigation. From
tho glorious realm of Go l's truth, over
which an archangel might fly from eternity
to eternity and not reach tho limit, the man
shuts himself out and dies, a blind mole un
der a cornshock. It stop3 all investigation.
Another great damage done by the sectar
ianism nnd bigotry of the church is that it
iHseaists neonle from the Christian religion.
Now, my friends, the church of God was
never intended for a war barrack. People
aro afraid of a riot. You go down the street
and you see an excitement and missiles fly
ing through the air and you hear the shock
of flrearms. Do you, the peaceful and in
dustrious citizen, go through that street'
"Oh, no," ycu will say ; "I'll go around tho
block." Now, men corne and look upon this
narrow path to heaven, and sometimes see
tho ecclesiastical brickbat flying every
whither, and they say: "Well, I guess I'll
take the broad road. There is so much
sharpshooting on the narrow road I guess
I'll try tho broad road !"
Francis I so hated tho Lutheran3 that he
said that if he thought there was ono drop
of Lutheran blood in his veins he wowld
puncture them and let that dropout. Just
as long as thero is so much hostility between
denomination and denomination, or between
one professed Christian and another, or be
tween ono church and another, so long men
will be disgusted with the Christian religion
nnd say, "If that is raligion, I want nono of
it."
Again, bigotry and sectarianism do great
damage in tho fact that they hinder tho
triumph ot the gospel. Oh, how much
waste. I ammunition, how many men of
splendid intellect have given their whole life
to controversial disputes when, if tbey had
given their life to something practical, they
might have been vastly useful! Suppose,
while I speak, there were a common enemy
coming up tho bay, and all the forts around
tho harbor began to lire into each other, you
would cry out: "National suicide! Why
don't those iorts blaze away in one direction,
and that against the common enemy?" And
yet I sometimes see in the church of the
Lord Jesus Christ a strange thing going on
church against church, minister against
minister, denomination against denomina
tion, tiring away into their own fort, or the
fort which ougnt to be on the same side, in
stead of concentrating their energy and giv
ing ono mighty and everlasting volloy against
tho navies of darkness riding up througntho
bay !
What did intolerance accomplish against
the Baptist Church? If laughing scorn and
tirade could have destroyed the church, it
would not have to-day a disciple left. Tho
Baptists wero hurled out of Boston in olden
times. Those who sympathized with them
were imprisoned, and when a petition was
offered asking leniency in their behalf all
tho men who signed it were indicted. Has
intolerance stopped the Baptist Church?
Tho last statistics in regard to it showod
25.000 churches an 1 3,000.000 communicants.
Intolerance never put down anything.
In England a law was made against the
Jew. England thrust back the Jew and
thrust down tho Jew and declared that no
Jew should hold official position. What
eamo of it? Wero the Jews destroyed? Was
their religion overthrown? No! Who be
came prime minister of England? Who was
next t the throne? Who was higher than
the t"rono because he was counselor and
adviser? Disraeli, a Jew. Vhat were wo
celebrating in all our churches as well as
synagogues only a few years ago? The ono
hundred in birthday anniversary of Monte
flore, the great Jewish philanthropist. In
tolerance never yet put down anything.
But now, my friends, having shown you
tho origin of bizotrv or sectarianism, nnd
having shown j-ou the damage it does, I
want briefly to show you how wo are to war
against" this terrible evil, and I think we
ought to began our war by realizing our own
weakness and our imperfections. If we
make so many mistakes in the common af
fairs of life, is it not possible that we may
make mistakes in regard to our religious
affairs? Shall we take a man by the throat
or by the collar because he cannot see re
ligious truths just as we do? In the light of
eternity it will bo found out, I think, there
was something wrong in all our creeds and
something right in all oar creeds. But since
we may make mistakes in regard to things
of tho world do not let us be so egotistic and
0 puffed up as to have an idea that we can
not make any mistake in regard to religious
theories. And then, I think, wo will do a
great deal to overthrow the sectarian from
our heart and the sectarianism from the
world by chiefly enlarging in tbo things in
which we agrea rather than tosa la whloh
wo differ.
Perhaps I might forcefully illustrate this
truth by calling your attention to an inci
dent which took place about twenty years
ago. One Monday morning at about 2
o'clock, while her 900 passengers were sound
asleep in her berths dreaming of home, tho
steamer Atlantic crashed into Mars Head.
Five hundred souls in ten minutes landed in
eternity ! Oh, what a scene ! Agonized men
and women running up and down the gang
way nnd clutching for the rigging, and the
plunge of the helpless steamer and the clap
ping of the hands of the merciless sea over
the drowning and the dead threw two conti
nents into terror.
But see the brave quartermaster pushing
out with the lifeline until he gets tothe rock,
and see these fishermen gathering up the
shipwrecked and taking them into the cab
ins 'and wrapping them in the flannels snug
and warm, and see that minister of the gos
pel, with three other men, gettine into a
lifeboat and pushing out for the wreck, pull
ing away across the surf and pulling away
until they saved one more man. nnd then
petting back with him to the shore. Can
those men ever forget that night, and can
they ever forget their companionship in
peril, companionship in struggle, compan
ionship in awful catastrophe and rescue?
Never ! Never ! In whatever part of the earth
they meet they will bo friends when they
mention the story of that night when the At
lantic struck Mars Head. Well, my friends,
our world has gone into a worse shipwreck.
Sin drove it on the rocks. The old ship has
lurched and tossed in the tempest of 6000
years. Out with the lifeline ! I do not care
what denomination carries ir. Out with the
lifeboat ! I do not care what denomination
rows it. Side by side, in the memory cf
common hardships, and common trials, and
common prayers, and common tears, let us
be brothers forever. We must be.
And I expect to see the day when all de
nominations of Christians shall join nands
around the cross of Christ and recite the
creed : "I believe in God, the Father Al
mighty. Maker of heaven ana eartn, ana
Jesus Christ, ana in me cumuiuu.uu.

Heavy Decline Iu the Corn Aver
age. The report of the statistician of the De
partment of Agriculture for the month of
September shows a decline in tho condition
of corn to 63.4 from 63.1 in the month of
August and 95 in the month of July. This
is a decline of 5.7 from the Auga3t and 31.6
from the July condition. The chanpe Is
marked in nearly all of the great cor a
States. The present condition is 75 In Ken
tucky, 70 in Ohio, 55 in Michigan, 83 in In
diana, 78 in Illinois, 51 in Wisconsin, CO in
Minnesota, 40 in Iowa. 70 in Missouri, 45 in
Kansas. 15 in Nebraska, and 16 in 80 jth D 1
kota. In most of tho Southern 6taes tho
condition has ri33n an I a good crop is cer
tain. In addition to tho unfavorable prospects
arising from the low condition of the grow
ing crop, reports from eight States, viz., In
diana. Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota, in re
sponse to a special Inquiry, show that out of
an aggregate of 40,873, 93i acre3 planto I iu
these States thero have been cut up for fol
der or abandoned 15,500,000 acres, or 33 per
cent., which is a little over 20 percent, of
the entire area planted in the country. The
percentage of that cut up or abandoned by
States reporting is as follows : Indiana, .00 ;
Illinci3, 10: Wisconsin. 21 ; Iowa. 33 ; Mis
souri, 16 ; Kansas, 53 ; Nebraska, 81 South
Dakota, 81.
The condition of wheat, considering both
winter and spring varieties, when harvested,
was 83.7 against 74.0 last year and 85.3 iu
1892. The reported conditions from the cor
respondents for the principal wheat-growing
States are as follows : Ohio, 102 ; Michigan, 91 ,
Indiana, 103 ; Illinois, 101 ; Wisconsin. 92 ;
Minnesota, 84 ; Iowa, 92 ; Missouri, 91 ; Kan

sylvania, 91 ; Maryland, 98. Virginia reports
73 ; Tennessee, 78 ; West Virginia, 93 ; Ken-tuck-,
92 ; Texas, 92. In the principal wheat
States there has been considerable improve
ment in condition since July report. In
part3 of the wheat region the crop is fully up
to expectations, and in other parts 11 j yield
has exceeded anticipation.
The average condition of oats is reported
at 77.8, against 76.5 on August 1, 77.7 on July
1, and 87 on June 1.
The returns for rye show an avorago of
86.9, against 82 a year ago.
The condition of barley has risen nearly
two points during tho month, the September
average standing at 71.5 against 69.8 in Au
gust. There is a decline in September condition
of buckwheat of 123 points f Jbm that of
August, tho general avorago being 69.2,
aginst 77.5 last year.
The area under clover seed is reported as
71.9 of that for 1893. The condition is given
at 69.2, which is much below tho average,
thus indicating a very snort crop.
The general average of condition for rico
is 89.4.
The average condition of apples has fallen
during last month from 44.0 to 40.8.
The condition of peaches is 21.1 ; potatoes,
62.4, a decline of twelve points sinco last

HELMS0LTZ IS DEAD.
The Kmlnent Physicist Succumbs to
a Stroke of Paralysis.
Professor nermau Loui3 Ferdinand Helm
holt?!, the celebrated physiologist and physi
cian, died at Berlin, Germany, at the ago of
seventy-three years. Death resulted from a
second stroke of paralvsis.
Herman Ludwig Ferdinand von Helm
holtz, tho celebrated German physiologist
and natural philosopher, tho most distin
guished man of his d.ty in his special field
of research, was born in Potsdam, Prussia,
on August 31, 1821. His father was an in
structor in the local gymnasium, and his
mother, whose maiden was Caroline Penn,
came from a branch of that family which
settled in Germany at tho time oT the relig
ious troubles in England. Ho, from his
youth, was a dovoted student of thepb3sical
sciences. After his graduation from a Ber
lin medical school he became attached
to one of tho hospitals of that
city. Ho then enlisted as an army
surgeon. Hj was appointed to the chair
or anatomy in Iho Academy of Fine
Arts at Brlin in 1818, and remained there
until 1855, when he removed to Konigsberg
and practice I as a professor of physiology.
From there the professor went to Heidel
berg, lecturing on the subject of physiology.
He was tho author of many standard
works on tho physiological condi
tions of tho impressions of tho senses.
In 1873 the Copley medal of the Royal
Society of London was awarded to him in
recognition of his eminent services to science.
He had already been admitted to foreign
membership at tho French Academy. In
1883 Emperor William I issued a decree by
which he was raised to "the status of
nobility." Finally, in 1891, ho was made
President and Director of the Imperial Tech
nical Institute of Physics at Charlotton
berg, a foundation under the control of
the Department of the Interior for the ex
perimental lurthering of extct natural in
quiry and the technics ot precision. The
Government, in a professional way could
confer upon him no higher honor. Helm
holtz was aristocratic in tastes and in ap
pearance. Physically he was tall, with
unusually broad shoulders, and a well
built figure. His face was cleanly shaven,
save for tho iron gray moustaohe, and
he had a fin, straight nose, and a
pair of penetrating steel-gray eyes. He
was always recognized on the streets, even
in a crowJ, by his fine carriage and figure.
Ho was very popular among the students
and beloved by the German people of all
classes. On the occasion of Helraholtz's
seventieth birthday anniversary in 1891
he received honors which few raon have
won. Addresses, honorary titles and
presents were showered upon him seem
ingly in endless procession. Every civilized
laud paid its tribute to his genins. Helm
holtz came to this country last, year to se
tho World's Fair, and delivered a lecture on
his discovery of the ophthalmoscope. He
spoke in English, and the many persons who
had gathered to hear him listened with rapt
attention. Professor Helmholtz was
ranked by the scientific world as one of the
greatest men that ever lived. His especial
gift was the application of mathematics to
physics.
A LIVELY TORNADO.
It Turns Over a Car and Kills Two
Persons.
A tornado at 3.10 p. m. struck the rear

No. 47 when it had reached a point about a
quarter of a mile west of the Charles
ton (Mo.) Station, which it had left
but a lew minutes before. The train
was moving about twenty miles an hour.
The whole train, with the xcptton of the
engine, was overturned. Two persons were
killed, one was prooably fatally injured and
several were more or less seriously hurt.
The killed are: Fred McClellan, threa
years old ; Mrs. Parmelie Dempsey, Bert

The following were the injured : A. D.

THE WAR IN THE ORIENT.
CHINA AND JAPAN CONDUCT
ING A DESULTORY FIGHT.
Famine in the Camp of the Heselsed
in Korea Killing Cavalry Horses
for Food A Japanese War Ship
Sunk A Cowardly General Sheds
His Uniform and Flees.
A despatch from Shanghai says the Chi
nese forces In the northern part of Korea
are hemmed in by Japanese and, being with
out supplies, are obliged to kill their cavalry
horses for kod. All of the foreign employes
In the Japanese dockyards aro being dis
missed, presumably to conooal the extent of
the injuries sustained by the Japanese war
ships In recent engagements with tho Chi
nese. A despatch from Shanghai stys that, ac
cording to statements of Chinos officials,
the Japanese war 9hip Hiyel, after an en
gagement with the Chinese cruiser Chen
Yuen, sank while en leavoring to reach Japan
in order to make repairs. The Japaness
cruiser Yayeyama Knn has been docked at
Nagasaki for repairs. Thedock iscare.'ully
guarded and no foreigners are permitted
near it.
Japanese advices say that tho Mikado and
the Japanese Ministers of War and Marino
have gone to Hiroshima to observe the em
barkation of large detachments of troops
which are being sent to the seat of war.
The correspondent of tne Central News at
Shanghai telegraphs that the Chinese trans
port ship Chean, while proceeding for For
mosa, with 1403 troops on board, was
wrecked at Cheturg. The soldiers and crow
wre conveyed to the shore in safety.
A French mail steamer about to sail for
Japan was boarded at her wharf in Shanghai
by officials who insisted on searching tho
ship for Japaneso passengers, it being
claimed that a number of Japanese military
officers who had been trained in Europe
were on their way back to Japan to enter
active service. The French captain refuse I
to allow his ship to be searched and threat
ened to call a French war ship to his assist
ance If the Chinese officials persisted. The
threat was effectual and the Chinese retire 1.
Three of the most powerful vessels Of the
Chinese Southern squadron have been or
dered to proceed to the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Lt
and join the Northern squadron. Cnines
steamers at Shanghai aro being put under
the protection of the British flag.
A daspatch from Shanghai says that Kore
an report3 agreo with those of tho Chines j
concerning the defeat of the Japanese troops
at Tatung River. Wounded Japaneso sol
diors are arriving at Chemulpo dally.
Some Chinese Reverses.
Further intelllgerce is published regard
ing the Chinese war vessel Kwang-Yi. which
tnade pood her escape after the engagement
on July 25. According to tho report of a
Japanese search party, the Kwang-Yi was
tound lying in shallow water in a small bay
just west of Caroline Bay. She was a per
fect wreok. It is thought that the vessel was
struck in several places In the hull, and that
In running away she took tho ground, r.nd
when tho officers realized that they could
hot got her off they fired the magazine and
ran. Near the quick-firing guns on tho
Starboard side a number of bodies wero
found. In the commander's cabin near the
mast were compasses, signal flags, ete., and
three corpses standing erect. One was sup
posed to be the commander. Sjveril shot
holes were noticed just above tho water
line, showing that the Japaneso gunners did
their work well. The wreck bore testimony
of the terrible power of quick-firing and
other modern guns.
A dotailed account Is now available of the
Chinese defeat at Seikwan. Tho Chinese
camp was situated on a hill at Seikwan, an
Important position on the Gazan or Yashan
road, about soventeon milej from Gazan.
In front of tho hill are rice paddies an t
marshes, crossed in the middle by a little
stream which runs into Gazan Bay, an t a
narrow path leads up to tho hill. It was a
position easy to defend and hard to attack.
At midnight tho Japanese army began to
move, the two wings forming two separate
companies. As has already been said, th re
Was only ono path to the hill, and thero was
a bridge over tho stream which had to bo
crossed. The main body crossed the bridge
at 2 o'clock, but when tho last detachment
was on the point of crossing, about throe,
over five hundred Chinese troops iu ambush
near the bank cut off the bridge and opened
lire on tho detatchment at about thirty or
forty metres distance. The Japaneso troops
were at first confused, but finally rallied,
rushed upon the Chinese with a saout and
bore them down. In this skirmish, on tho
Japanese side, six men were killed by tho
enemy, seventeen or eighteen weredrowno 1,
and fifteen or sixteen wero woundod, though
tho light had only lasted fifteen minutes.
The Chinese fled, leaving behind eighteen or
nineteen killed, among whom was an offi
cer, and two prisoners. All was then quiet
for two hours. At 6 o'clock the Japauesa
opened Are, and the two wings attacked tho
Chinese at the samo time. The Chinese be
gan to retreat toward Gazan, and at half
pnst seven that is. after an hour and a half
the battle was over.
The Japanese officers praise highly tho
skill of the Chinese artillery at this light.
The Chinese loss may be computed at over
100 killed and 403 woundod, making a total
of over 500. The Japanese loss in the sec
ond fight was a little over twenty woundel.
The behavior of the Chinese General Chi
utterly belied his reputation, and showe 1
him to be a man of no groat military attain
ments, forwhenthe Japanese troops attacked
his camp he deserted it, threw away hU uni
form as an encumbrance to flight, and left
behind papers which, as a Goneral. he should
never have allowed to leave his side. It is
not known where he fled.
The Japaneso army pursued the Chincso
for twelve miles to Yoran, a little village
about Ave miles from Gazan. As a Chinese
attack was expected that night, a strict out
look was Kept, but the night passed quietly.
At four o'clock the next morning (30th) the
army marohed upon Gazan. It was expected
that the Chinese would mako a desperate
stand nt Gazan, an t there was a general
boding that the storming of Gazan would bo
attended with heavy lossos, but oa arrival
there the army found, to its astonishuwnt,
that the trenches were deserte 1, with many
hundreds of thousands of rounds of powder
and six or seven hundred bags (containing
to to each) of rice. They had all flo 1 to
Koshu, only fifty remaining behind at Gas in.
These had attempted a night attack on tho
Outpost, but had b-m repulsed.
NEW BICYCLE RECORD.
J. P. Bliss Makes It in 1:32 3-3,
Paced, With Flying Start.
J. P. Bliss ro le at Hampden Park, Spring
field, Mass., the fastest mile ever made on a
bicycle, establishing the record lor
tho paced mile, flying start, of 1.52 3-5,
and incidentally lowering tho throe-quarter-mtle
record to 1.23. He was
paced by three tandem teams GIthens and
Lumsien, Cooper and Silvie and Arnold and
Warren. The previous records for the dis
tances were 1.53 4-5 for the mile and 1.24 4-5
for the three-quarters, made at Waltham on
July 28 by H. C. Tyler.
Bliss has become well known to bicyclists
by the records established by him on the
same track on August 22, when he rode the
paced half-mile, with flying start, in 54 3-5
seconds, and made the same distance, with
standing start, in 58 1-5 seconds.
