To Throw a Hundred Thousand More Troops into Corea and Crash the Chinese Forces The Emperor of China to be Dethroned The Anti-Foreign Sen timent Increasing On the Russian ' Frontier. ; Hew York, Oct.' 2. A special cable to the.HeraW from Shanghai says: The Emperor of China will very likely be de throned in favor of Prince Kung's son, who will treat with the Japanese. , Li Hung .Chang has been superseded in the command by Gen. Sang Tsing, of the province of Nunan. - Li Hung Chang retires disgusted to Pao TiDg Foo, capital of the province of Chi Li.

Li Hung Chang's army is distrusted. London, I Oct. 2. The correspondent in Tokio of the Central News agency telegraphs that the Japanese are moving north from Ping Yang. They repoit that they have not sighted the enemy, but have found a large quantity of arms and ammunition which had been aban doned by the Chinese, many of whom had been killed by the Coreans, All the villages and farm buildings from Lusac, on the route of the troops have been burned and the cultivated land has been laid waste. , Washington, Oct. 2. Officials of the Chinese Legation were very incredulous to-day of the reports from Shanghai that the Chinese Emperor was about to be deposed and his place occupied by a son of Prince Kung. If any uch coup cV etdt is contemplated no intimation of it has come here. On the contrary, all official communications show that the viceroy is still conducting affairs. Tin 1SEIN, Oct. 2. it is officially an nounced that 5,000 Japanese troops have arrived close to Passiet bay, near the Russian frontier. Previous to this announcement it was reported here that a Japanese fleet had bt en sighted on September aatn, ten miles from Shan Hai Kwan, 200 miles frem Pekin. LONDONi Oct. '2. A Central News dis patch from - Shanghai saysr Many in fluential Chinese have given expression toaseeliug of certainty that the Japa nese ; will succeed in capturing Pekin. The fright over the anti-foreign feeling 13 increasing in the Chinese capital. Many of the Chinese residents of Mouk- den are removing their treasure from that city as rapidly as possible. London, Oct. 2. The Times publishe8 letters from Yokohama bearing, date of August 24th, stating that Japan is pre paring to increase her army in" Oorea to 100,000 men. The intentions of the Gov ernment, ; as proclaimed by the native press, are to crush the Chinese army jn Corea and march on Pekin, where a claim for a large indemnity will be made nd the cession of the island of Formosa demanded. A letter dated September 1st. says that the despatch of troops continues, but their destination is unknown, except that i 100,000 men have left to fight the Chinese somewhere. The Japanese be lieve' that they will be in a position to dictate terms to China before the end of the year and also that they? will possess the horded millions at Moukden belong- in sr to the jnine3e imperial- iamiiy. Japan is calling out the gecond reserve to supplement the denuded garrisons. Disgraceful Record . of New York j Policemen. New York, Oct. 2. The Lexow com mittee was called .to; order at 11 o'clock to-day and Mr. Goff said that he pro posed to introduce evidence to-day which was of great importance both to the com; mittee and the citizens of New York city. The testimony will be considered in three lights, said Mr. Goff. First, with regard to the policemen as a distur ber of the peace, and a danger to the safety of the citizens of this city. Second, that the police force is above the ordinarjtJaw3 of the State, and it Will be shown that a policeman who commits a felonious offence may get off with a few days' fine and rep rimand from a police court. A policeman can brain a citizen with hia club and all the punishment he receives will be a small fine, whereas an ordinary citizen if he committed the same offence, would be sent to Sing Sing; and third,:that the perjury which has been committed by policemen during the recent trials at headquarters- is unmeasurable and ut naralleled. and in fact, as one of the commissioners put it, the air of the court room at police headquarters was blue witi! cerjury. ' ' . Lawyer Moss, ot the rarKnursi s , so ciety, here produced a Dig volume 01 records 01 ponce iriais as which he eaid he himself had prepared. "it annPAiR " said he. "that a majority of the officers on the force have had con victions recorded against tnem, ana tnat in cases for which, if tried in criminal courts, the penalty would be heavy, the policeman is let off with a small fine. There has oeen 410 tmtiuua puuiiwuicuu by captains previous to tne appointment of this commission. There are now op the force ninety policemen who have been convicted since January, 1891, of assaulting citizens in a brutal manner. For the past three years there haye been 11.000 trials of policemen and I now offer this vnlumA rh evidence.' Mr. Moss' report shows that from Janr uary 1, 1891, to May 1894, there having Kaon 1 fiainntwictions of police officers and that ninety-two of these officers are still on the force and sixteen jjiave retired. The offences charged were oppression, iQf nf Hntv. indecent exposure, bur- glary. attempt . aP8 and Bimuar charges. , ' In addition to the 109 cases thre were twenty-two cases of not 6uch serious nature. For instance, an officer was fined ten days' pay for careiessiy nanu ling his pjstol and killing a citizen.

The reception which the Paltimojre base ball club, champions of the United Stat3, received on its return home to night surpassed anything of the kind ever attempted in this city. And not alone to the city of Baltimore was the enthusiasm confined, but adjoining cities and States were largely represented in the throng. The trip from early morning, when the train entered Maryland until it arrived at Camden station this evening, was one triumphal march. It closed in a blaze of glory, v -- . BLOWN TO ATOMS. , i A Burglar Proof Safe Wrecked by Crooks The Paper Money Torn to Pieces The Vault: of the . Bank a Wreck. Burlington, la., Oct. 2. A guar anteed burglar proof safe in'thefire proof vaults of the State bank at Mediapolis, this county, was blown almost to atoms yesterday morning by a charge of nitro glycerine. I tremendous The cracks- men forced the vault locks without dif ficulty. The safe contained $5,000 in gold coin, 800 in paper currency, $400 in silver coin, and $3, 6 CO in school dis trict bands, payable to bearer. The paper money was torn into bits and the coin was battered and bent and scattered to the four winds. Nineteen of the bonds have been recovered intact, the rest be ing destroyed or stolen. Fifteen hundred dollars in the battered Coin was re covered. It U presumed the burglars got the rest. The interior of the vault looks as though it had passed through a bombardment. A ton of scrap metal lies upon the floor and Jis imbedded. in th walls and ceiling.tThe boxe3 were riddled by flying pieces of metal ; and $131,000 worth oLmortgage deeda are almost de-v stroyed. The bank estimated its lost at $4,000. At a meeting of the directors it was voted to make this good out of the surplus. Three hours after the discovery of the robbery the bank was transacting regular business. j The robbers made their' escape on a stolen handcar, which was abandoned in the ditch, two miles north of Burlington. The robbed bank is chartered by the State and has a capital of $35,C00. It is the impression that local I desperadoes under the leadership of some more ex perienced person had the job in hand. Part of a band of amateur crooks are in ail for store breaking and it is believed "those at liberty assisted in the safe wrecking. ? - - AN ELECT EON TANGLE. Threats of Fraud in the Florida Election No Votes Cast in Some of the Wards of Jacksonville. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 2. The State and county election! held in this city to-day resulted in a tangle which it will probably take the . courts to straighten out The fight was between two factions of the Democratic party and bid fair to be a close one Early this morning, in consequence of fraud having been threatened by the faction holding the inspector appointing power ,three deputy sheriffs walked into each polling place and signified their intention of re maining The inspectors all over the city thereupon closed the voting booths, awaiting instructions from the leaders. A compromise was effected in several of the outlying wards in a short time and voting was resumed, but in the rourth, Fifth and Sixth, three of the most popu lar wards in the city, not! a vote was cast, owing to a failure- to agree upon any arrangements. In consequence, of this tangle, out of a qualified vote of 5,000 in Duval county only a small pro portion was polled. , j Governor Mitchell yesterday ordered Adjt. Gen. Houston to this; city and all day the State troops were held under arms at their- quarters, but were not needed. The main issues ; of the fac tional fight were a railroad commission and the alleged attempt of j railroad cor porations to capture trie Legislature, and and nowhere has the bitterness grown to such intensity as in Duval county. Throughout the State Liddon, for Su preme court justice, has met with prac tically no opposition. The Populists cast a very small vote for their ticket. CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS.

Dr. Glennan is a surgeon of the marine hospital service. Tares years ago he 'sued Jus wife for divorce. AccordiugTb Mrs. Glennan, she defeated the suit i j two court3 and the cise was finally- set tied by a decision that Dr. Glennan should pay his wife $75 a month alimony and that she should i etain possession of their two 'boys. The kidnapping occurred at a boarding house, No. 810 Twelfth street, where Mrs. Glennan resides. She was awakened at 1 o'clock this mnrniri hv hearlnc a dnnr burst open.

The cq ton review says: Cotton declined 2 to 4 points on near mqnths, but recovered thi3 and advanced 6 to 18 points,closing very steady with sales of 180.700 balep. Liverpool declined l-32d on the spot anj 1 3 to 3i points for further delivery, but . ralaed, and futures closed only 1 tou 1 points lower than yesterday and steady. Private Liverpool cables were more bul- j lisb. Manchester was quiet and yarns were irregular. New Orleans declined : 3 points.but recovered this and advanced 17 to 1.8 points, t Spot cotton here was quiet and unchanged, with middling up- lands 61c.

American Sugar was the overshadowing feature 'of the railway and miscellaneous share specu lation to-day, the stock having ' been traded in to the extent of 106,209 shares in a total of 199,059 for the entire list. The stock was heavy almost from start to finish, there having been only a. light rally of f per cent, late in the day, which was subsequently lost. The price opened ati86 to 86f and gradually settled "down to 831, clcsing at the lowest point. Con siderable investment stcck came out and the bears assisted the downward ing to see the stock sell lower; certainly, they are doing nothing to stem the de cline. The old reports that the refining business is poor and that the companies cannot live under the present tariff were again circulated. In direct con trast with the heaviness of Sugar, the general list displayed a little more firm ness and at times showed a disposition toi advance. This is the result of the heavy oversold condition of the market. juany 01 .tne leading issues command premiums ranging from 1-256-per cent, ia the case of Rhode Island to 116 per cent, in the case of New York Central. These shares are not relished by the small bears and some of them took ad vantage of the break in Sugar to cover. Besidts, the" company on the short side is j becoming unwieldy, and there is a fear that a bold movement by the bull leaaers mignt lead to disastrous results, in; the ranks of the smaller shorts at least, if it did roX spread further. . Jnj Louisville and Nashville was rather weak on rumors that the report to; be presented at the annual meet ing in Louisville to-morrow will be unfavorable. ! The stock fell from 55f to 55 to 55.

The bull crowd that attracted attention dur ing the latter end of last week had sold out yesterday, bpyond a doubt, andwith the8upport taken away there was noth ing to sustain prices except the buying by shorts, who covered when and, how they wished. The weakest portion of the session was during the last hour. The close was at tbe inside. December rest ing at 52c with the loss above stated. The opening was at 53 jc and these two prices marked the range. Cash wheat was weak sales averaging c under those of yesterday. r A prominent trade in the corn market ventured the remark to-day that the local crowd for some time, past have been trying to lift themselves by their own boot straps and were to-day finding out the futility of the experiment. There was nothing but discouragement to be found. The cash demand was still con spicuous by its absence. May corn opened from 50f to '50ic, declined to 49Jc, closing at 491 to 49f , lfc under yesterday. Cash corn was weak and c. tower. With everything else on the floor di rected downward, there was little hope for oats. Elevator people were probably the best sellers, while the demand was of the most indifferent character. Prices were weak, May closing c under yester day. Cash oats sold at steady prices, the nominal close being weak with the fu tures. The product bulls were no. better off than their brethren in grain. Scalpers and packers vied with each other in their efforts to sell out. There was a de crease in stocks of provisions, but it did not count when opposed to tbe large re ceipts of hogs, large estimates for to morrow and a deoline in prices at the yards. The weakness; in corn was also having a legitimate effect in this pit. The close was at the lowest prices of the day j January pork showing a I03S of 45 to 47Jc from yesterday, January lard 32c and January ribs; 25 to S7ic i , ......ill m. ' j The Spinners fcs till Firm. Fall, River, Mass. Oct. 2. -Another large meeting of mule-spinners was held this morning. The union funds are in excellent condition and the statement surprised a great many members. The report of Saturday conference with the manufacturers was received and was not commented on. There are two mills running with a full complement 0? cafd ing and ring spinning help", but the authorities cannot induce the spinners to start on a rrnnhrnmispi Tfdnr-finn. Tlio J decision arrived at by the union was that the Globe yarn mule-spinners are "fight ing the same battle as the other spinners and. consequently they should not go in on a compromise unless the others went in. The spinners have voted to make preparations for calling on the federation of trades for assistance. Thus far the spinners have made no other move to get money from outside sources..

Meade post, Grand Army of the Republic, though not in uniform. Twenty-five years ago Mr. Thomas J. Watts of this city lost a Master Mason's jewel. It has just been found. It had lain all those years in the floor of the city market. It appears that the whiskey distillers do not join the State Liquor Dealers' as sociation. Efforts were made to induce all to join. Maj. William MartiD, formerly chief clerk of the revenue collector's office here, is piade secretary to Chairman Holton of the Republican State Execu tive committee. j R. W.

A very fine crop of corn grown on the Agricultural and Mechanical college farm is now being machine-cut and stored in the big silo. The new barn of the college is one of the largest and best in this sec tion. Chairman Marion Butler, of the Pop ulist party, was asked the direct question by your correspondent, as to what he thought the fusion majority would be. He said: "I think we will put in 30,000 to 40,000 more votes than the Democrats, and I hope to have 5,000 to 10.0C0 ma jority counted." Mr. Butler said he had issued no address to bis party, and did not think ha would issue one. Said he: We have got to a plack where talk counts for but little, but where we" must work." He says he issued a circular in regard to registration of voters, but that this is practically like the one Republican Chairman Ho'.ton issued. He says he and Holton showed each other these cir culars, and that no changes were made in them. Chairman Butler spoke of the troubles in the fusion ranks, Baying they had been settled in Rockingham, and that they would be pretty well settled in Vance and Franklin. .He wes asked what he was doing as to Mecklenburg and Wake and said nothing; that he had not been called on to regulate thing's in these counties. It is plainly alleged by the Democrats that Mr. Butler ia seeking to make capi tal out of the fact that Chairman Pou would notjagree . to a joint canvass of Ransom and Kitchin and Jarvig and Guthrie. Mr. Pou told Mr. . Butler that he would arrange for a joint canvass with him. and would have speakers to meet any man he named, and expressed his desire to arrange a joint canvass on proper terms. It is said quite plainly that Chairman Butler wanted the crowds he knew the Senators would draw. It is further deolared that the Populists have no crowds at their speakings save at con ventions and at court days. Lading Democrats appear to regard the First district as tbe most doubtful. As you were informed, the Populists want to make a big effort to capture the Second district. They think since. White. Republican, was thrown out, that his friends will not vote for Cheatham and so they hope to catch many of these dis contented Republicans. They will try to put up their strongest man in the dis trict. The Southern Railway Mortgage Authorized. Richmond, Va., Oct. 2.
