WAR OF THE FAR EAST-
Japanese Troops in Korea Defeat the
Rebels in a Hard Fipht.
London. Jan. 18.—A dispatch from Kusan.
Korea, to the Central News says a detach
ment of Japanese from Kafaxku-Tons: at
tacked a lar*e body of Longhak rebels in
Ho-Hon province on the night of Jan. 12.
On the morning of the 13th the attack was
renewed. The rebels, after desperate light
ing. were defeated and dispersed. The
Longhaks made their way northward.
Hundreds were killed in the tight and
many of their cattle, horses and arms
were captured by the Japanese.
A Central News dispatch from Hai-
Chung. under date of Jan. 17. says: *‘Gen.
Nodseu reports thirty-four battalions
of Chinese, under Gens. Chang, Sho and
Ko in the vicinity of Ying-Kow. A Chinese
force of *>,ooo men has been observed ad
vancing southwest from To-Lung-Sai and
other forces of the enemy of 2.000 and 1.000
respectively near Hiyo-Chang. The first
and second Japanese armies are working
under a mutual arrangement, regarding
operations against New-Chung and King-
Kow."
A Central News dispatches from New
Chwang says it is not safe lor the foreign
residents of that place to leave, nor are
they in perfect safety in remaining. A
force of Chinese troops recently attempt
ed to enter the city, presumably for the
purpose of attacking the foreigners, but
the Tao Tai ordered the gates closed and
resisted the efforts of the soldiers to get
in. In the ensuing light twenty-live sol
diers were killed. The Tao Tai subse
quently tried to get away himself, but he
was stopped by his uncle, who threatened
to shoot him.
EERLIN S IDLE TOILERS.
Eight Mass Meetings Held and An
archial Ideas Cheered.
Berlin, Jan. 18.— Eight mass meetings of
unemployed working men. the largest com
posed of 2.000 locked out brewers, were
held in Friedrlchrain to-day. A strong
force of police was on hand to preserve
order. Herr Foerster, socialist member of
the Reichstag, delivered c rpeech at one
of the principal meetings and proposed
that the unemployed working men ap
point a deputation to wait upon the mu
nicipal authorities of Berlin and demand
employment. An amendment to this pro
posal was offered by an anarchist leader,
Pitsel, suggesting the organization of an
immense procession of unemployed work
ers, which should parade the principal
streets. These people, he declared, ought
not to be left to starve and should take
possession of anything to relieve their
wants they could lay their hands upon.
This suggestion of violence and plunder
was received with cheers.
A cry was set up that a spy was present
and great disorder ensued, many shouting
•'kill him! kill him I" but the spy was not
found. When quiet had been restored
the resolution proposed was adopted, de
claring that only the action of socialism
can relieve the present distress among the
people.
When the meetings were over the people
present dispersed quietly.

The Butte Delegation in the Legislature
Denounced.
Helena, Mont., Jan. 18.—The climax of
the effort of the American Protective As
sociation people to set their member to
holt the nomination of Thomas H. Carter
for senator, came to light yesterday.
Howard Paschal of Butte, a member of
the legislature and supposed to be a mem
ber of the American Protective Associa
tion, received the following letter:
Butte. Mont.. Jan. 16.—T0 the Silver
Bows delegation in the legislature, Hel
ena, Mont.:
You traitors—understand we. an oath
bound band of thirteen, will with pleasure
await your arrival in Butte, either during
or after your legislative duties have ex
pired. You despised bribe-takers, traitors
to your eenstituehts. traitors to your
; country, and traitors to your religion.
, Rome-bought, dare you call yourselves
Americans or confront those to whom you
| owe your offices?
Sincerely then we await your arrival in
i the greatest mining camp on earth. Y'ou
will find upon investigation that there arc
no traitors in our mystic number.
James Mellan, Chairman Committee.
To C. Blank and other traitors.
When the members learned of the letter
received by Mr. Paschal a committee was
appointed to investigate the matter.

RIOTOUS MOBS IN BROOKLYN.
The Strikers Stone Cars and Fire Sev
eral Pistol Shots.
Mavor Sehieren Calls for QOO Militia
men to Aid the Police in Enforcing
Order and Enable the Companies to
Run Their Cars—The Railroad Men to
Attempt Put All the Lines in Opera
tion Simultaneously.
Brooklyn. Jan i.—The disorderly crowds
that made trouble yesterday at the Hal
sey street s*ahles of the Brooklyn L ghtst ;
Railroad Company were on hand again j
this morning, and at 7 30 o'clock made
their first assault on the street cars
Cars were stoned at several points in
the city, and several collisions occurred
between police and strikers, but no seri- j
ous damage was done. In some cases j
pistol shots were fired by strikers and
many of the new men became frightened
and deserted the oars. The strikers on the
Court street line became unruly, attacked
the police and men who had taken their
places. Some of the strikers were armed,
and a number of shots were fired.
The men began making tiouble at the
Bush street stables at 10 o’clock this morn
ing and intercepted the first car that was
started out at that time. Eight police who
were on duty at the stables got on the
car. and, drawing their clubs and pistols,
ordered the niotormen to turn on the full
current and run through the mob. This
was clone and the car started out, going
eighteen miles per hour. The men threw
stones at it as it left them, and some
body fired a shot from a pistol.
Mayor Sehieren said this morning that
the police force was not adequate to pro
tect property and life and hold the strikers
in check. At 11 o’clock he sent for Police
Commissioner Welles, Corporation Coun
sel McDonald and Public Works Commis
sioner White. They then held a consulta
tion as to the advisability of calling on
Gov. Morton for aid. The conference- was
brought about by a letter from President
Morton of the Atlantic avenue line. In it
h * said that h** had practically both Fifth
avenue lines in operation and could begin
to operate all his lines to-morrow, if he
got proper protection. He asked that if
the polic e could not give it. the militia be
called out. Commissioner Welles wrote a
letter in reply, asying that he wanted to
know the exact condition of the lines and
that one line would be fully going before
another was started. He said he would
confer with the mayor if he concluded
the police force was too small. Mayor
Scheiren decided that the force was inade
quate. A committee, appointed by the cit
izens in a mass meeting, called on Mayor
Sehieren this morning and demanded pro
tection from thieves. They wanted the
police protection taken from the railroad
companies.
Mayor Sehieren to-night called for the
services of 600 militia to aid the police
to-morrow in protecting the street rail
roads in their endeavor to resume busi
ness. The mayor and t hief of police have
been at odds with the railroad compa
nies upon the proper method for the lat
ter to pursue. The railroad nn n wish to
start the cars upon all of th** tied-up
roads at once. The mayor and chief of
police had the opinion that the better
way would be to concentrate the effort
upon the roads singly and put them in
operation one by one. The railroad men
to-day showed a disposition to go over
the head of the city authorities, and call
upon the sheriff of Kings county, who
could bring the militia into service with
out the intervention of the mayor. To
day has been an exceedingly turbulent 4
and riotous one upon all the roads where
any attempt was made to do business,
excepting the two where a compromise
was reached yesterday. The condition
of affairs to-night was such that the
mayor seems to have waived his opin
ions, and acted in compliance with the
request of the companies.
COLVIN’S FIGHT ON THE BONDS.
A Special Tax Levy Mai' Be Necessary
at Jacksonville.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 18.—On account
of the pendency of the Colvin suit in the
United States supreme court against the
validity of the recent issue o-f $1,000,000
in bonds by the city of Jacksonville, the
municipality is unable to dispose of these
securities, and the various departments
are badly in need of funds. Unless this
suit is withdrawn it will probably be nec
essary for the council to pass a supple
mentary budget and raise the money by
a direct tax on the property of the citi
zens. This will probably raise a howl of
dissatisfaction, and will have some effect
on the May election, through which politi
cal faction, it would injure, the more it Is
difficult to predict at present. The case
in the supreme court may not be argued
for a whole year yet.

JUDGE RICKS’ IMPEACHMENT.
Text of the House Committee Resolu
tion on the Subject.
Washington, Jan. 18.—Representative
Bailey of Texas, who was authorized by
the House judiciary committee on Tues
day last to prepare a resolution of im
peachment against Judge Ricks of Ohio,
laid before th* committee to-day the
following resolution, accompanied by a
report written by himself, embodying
the views of th‘* majority, as expressed at
Tuesday’s meeting. The resolution is as
follows
Resolved, That Augustus J. Ricks, judge
of the United States court for the Nor
thern district of Ohio, should be impeached
for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Resolved, That the committee on ju
diciary is hereby instructed to prepare
without unnecessary delay and report to
this House suitable articles of imp ach
ment against said Augustus J. Ricks,
judge of the United States court for the
Northern district of Ohio.
Representative Broderick of Kansas,
the republican member of the sub-comnilt
tee who investigated the charges agjinst
Judge Ricks, has written a report ex
pressing the views of the minority as
represented at the last meeting. Th-* re
port concludes as follows: “In view of
all the facts in the case it is our conclu
sion that Judge Ricks Is not guilty of any
offense, that there was no intention o f
wrong doing, and that no moral turpi
tude attaches. We, therefore, recornmend
that the resolution reported to the House
for impeachment be not adopted."
The judiciary committee remained in
session three hours and a half, and at
the end of that time a motion was nrarle
by Representative Harrison of Alabama
that Judge Ricks be permitted to come be
fore the committee and be heard in his
own defense if he ■ o desired, and that he
might have the privilege of bringing in
any witnesses be chose. The motion in
cluded a similar privilege for the oppon
ents of the judge. The motion was carried
by a vote of sever* to live.
DEBS’ FATE.
The Decision of the Supreme Court Not
to Be Announced Immediately.
Washington, Jan. 18.—When the su
preme court of the United States met to
day Assistant Attorney General Whitney
stated that in the matter of the petition
of Debs et al., the Attorney General and
Attorney Harrow had agreed to the stipu
lation, subject to the approval of the court.
It is that the rule in the case should be
made returnable on March 20, that being
the date suggested by the court as a con
venient one to hear the case. That pend
ing the hearing and decision of the court
the petitioners be admitted to bail in the
sum of $2,000 each.
Chief Justice Fuller stated that the case
was one of such importance that the court
would have to take the stipulation under
advisement before giving its approval to
the stipulation. He inquired of the coun
sel whether or not they had agreed upon
or prepared the form of order to be en
tered. Messrs. Whitney and Harrow an
swered that they had not. Mr. Whitney
said the form under consideration in the
department of justice left the details to
be arranged by the court below. The
chief justice stated that whatever was
done by the lower court would be bas E-d
upon an order issued by the supreme
court of the United States, and it was im
portant, therefore, that the matter should
be carefully determined here.
Mr. Darrow suggested that an order
might be drawn for its inspection, and
this suggestion was accepted by the court.
Messrs. Whitney and Harrow will prepare
the order and after it has been inspected
it will be handed to the judges for their
information.

EVANS OFF ON THE LAW.
No Action Needed by the Consul in the
Case of the Offending Bark.
Washington. Jan. 18.— State department
officials* cannot understand why Gov.
Evans of South Carolina should worry
himself over the fact that the Italian
consul at Charleston declines to mix him
self in purely local affairs beyond his
jurisdiction. An Italian bark in South
Carolina is amenable to the local laws,
and if liquor was sold from the bark in
violation of the laws the remedy Is
wholly in the hands of the local or state
authorities. A warrant for the arrest of
any one on the bark does not need the
consul’s approval; In fact, the consul's
office is confined exclusively to commer
cial matters, and he would have exceeded
his functions had he taken any part in
serving the warrant. Why there should
be any hesitation on the part of consta
bles to arrest violators of the dispensary
law cannot be conceived here. It does
not appear that the consul has protested
against the serving of a warrant on
his countrymen, and until he does he
cannot be considered obnoxious.

“Knowest thou the land where the pale
citron blows,
Where in deep shade the golden orange
glows?”
This beautiful song of Mignon applies
not less appropriately to California, the
land of the vineyard and orange groves,
than the gypsy’s native home of Kouthern
Europe. Travel from the Middle, Western
and Southern States to this “land of corn
and wine” has Increased within the last
decade to a marvelous extent. Whereas
but a very few years back California
seemed so far distant to the average
American that it might as well have been
off the globe, in our day, when descrip
tions of the glories of this “land of sun
shine” have become common household
words, and when railroading has done so
much to annihilate distances, the question
with thousands every year now is, not
shall I make a California trip? but by
what route shall 1 go? and, since the
beauties and luxurious comfort of the
Great Southern Pacific's Sunset Route are
becoming more and more familiar to the
traveling public, even this latter question
is much less frequently asked. And now
that this enterprising road has recently
put on the finest and fastest train to the
<oast, the how to get there will soon no
longer be a matter of much conjecture.
“Sunset Limited” is the name which has
been given this great gulf-to-ooean flyer,
and it is the miracle of all the latter-day
railroading. It consists of a composite
car, with buffet, library, barber shop and
bath, dining-car, parlor-cars, state room,
drawing room, sleeping cars, all solid
vestlbuled throughout, anrl brilliantly
lighted with the Plntsch gas system. It
makes the trip from the Gulf to the Pacific
coast In sixty hours, leaving New Orleans
every Thursday, on and after Nov. 1, at S
a. m., and arriving at Los Angeles In but
21/2 days and at San Francisco in 3*4 days.
This is the line of all lines for the every
day traveler, to the tourist, and pre-emi
nently for the invalid seeking more con
genial climate. R. H. Hill, T. P. A., At
