a
Loudon, August 4.—A dispatch
to The Times from Tien-Tsiu. dat
ed August 2d, 11:40 a. m., says:
The preamble of an imperia'
edict just issued recites China’s
claims in Corea its hundreds oi
years suzerainty of that country
and the constant assistance it has
rendered the vassal king to subdue
rebellious.
China it continues, recently
sent forces to Corea with (this ob
ject in view. Japan wnhuut the
.igLt also seat troops and refused
to withdrew them. She has fur
ther, sunk a transport carrying
Chinese soldiers and her action
has been condemned by other
powers.
The emperior places all the
military authorities under Viceroy
Li Hung Chaug who will protect
the rights of the empire. He also
orders the capture and destruction
of Ji* H «nußo snips ’where ever

THE EMPEROR AND LI HUN, j CHANG.
Shanghai,August. 4, —Dispatches
h<ve been received confirming the
report that the emperor has divest
ed Viceroy Li Hung Chang of the
order of the Yellow Riding Coat,
which is the highest order in Chi
na, allowing the wearer privileges
next to those of royalty.
The emperor has freely express
ed his auger at the viceroy's hav
ing allowed Japan to get ahead of
China in preparing for war. The
act of the emperor in divesting the
viceroy of this order does not nec
essarily imply his deposition from
office,but it has fallen like a thun
derbolt here, as it is feared that
the incident will lead to Li Hungs
complete overthrow.
He is regarded here as the only
leader capable of coping with Ja
pan in the inevitably long war. A
crisis is regarded as iminent.
The emperor has been influenced
in his action by members of his
Limily hostile to the viceroy's pro
European policy,
It is expected that Sir Robert
Hart, the British representative, will
assert his authority and support Li
Hung Chang.

The soldiers beheaded at Tien-Tsin
for desertion pleaded in extenuation
of their offense hunger and exhaus
tion. Before they were executed they
were stripped of their uniforms and
their pigtails were cut off. The exam
pie has terrified the army.
An edict has gone forth that the
army will recieve double pay hence
forth, during the war with Japan
and a large bonus has been offered to
officers competent to navigate the
Chinese vessels and transports.
At 3a. m., on the 29th. of July
the Japanese advanced on the Chi
nese entrenchments at Shen \eng
and after several hours of severe
fighting won a decisive victory,
The Chinese entrenchments were
captured and the whole force of
about 3,000 men put to rout, with
a loss of about 500 killed and
wounded. The total Japanese loss
is five officers and seventy men
killed and wonued,

Chinese and a good quantity of
arms and munitions of war, in
cluding four cannons and many
flags were captured

the Fire Escape was
Guarded.
At high iMwm yesteiday a squad
from the detective force under the
leadership of Chief Wiight. raided
one of the rooms in the old |capitol
building and interrupted a quiet but
long continued game of poker.
Five young men, well known and
prominant, were pulled from their
lofty retreat and summerily marched
to police headquarters. Here charged
of gaming were entered against them
and in addition two will have to an
swer to the charge of keeping a gam
nig house.
For some days the officers have
had the game spotted and have made
several attempts to make their way
in. Tiie men cmght on to the move

fronqthe usual uauuts. From a com
sortable position on tho fourth flco*

alert aud as soon as this door was
openeu broke for the fire escape.

OLD HICKORY’S GRAVE
Attempt Made to Disturb the Re.
mains WePnesd ß y Night.
Nashville, Tenn , Aug. 4. —lnfor
mation was received here today from
the Hermitage where Gen. Andrew
Jackson’s remains are buried, that
his grave was disturbed last night by
an unknown person or persons. A hole
eighteen inches in depth and three
feet in length was dug at the head of
the grave, but the parties were fright
ened away before they accomplished
their object. The Hermitage is
twelve miles from this city.
The desecration of Gen Jackson’s
grave was discovered at an early hour
and the fact immediately reported to
the Ladies’ Hermitage Association. A
long plankjwas left lying beside the
grave. Suspicion rests upon a welt
dressed negro for whom the authori
ties are now looking. He went to
the residence of a white man living
half a mile from the Hermitage yes
terday afternoon and borrowed a
shovel, which he returned this morn
ing. While near the Hermitage he
made inquiries about Gen. Jackson’s
tomb.

Bey. A, A. McCarthy Pastor,
WHO WILLRUN?
Doctor Wm. H. Felton Spoken of
as an independent.
WRIGHT AND MC’GARRITY.
Are Mentioned in Conection
With the Opposition to
Congressman John W.
Maddox. Other
Rumors.
Who will oppose Hon. John W .
Maddox for re-election to congress?
The above question is oftener
asked and more unsatisfactorily
answered than anv other half doz
en asked of Romans,
Until Hon. Seaborn Wright de
nied most emphatically to the
Hustler of Rome that he oot was
in the race and stated most positive
ly that he would not be, his name
was often suggested as an answer
to the said question—and even yet
a few of his admirers insist that
Scab will receive the endorsement
of the third party convention on
the 15th aud that he will yet make
the race against “Our John,’’
On the other hand, are men
who are honest believers in Popu
lism who say that cheir party will
not endorse an. “independent” now
any more than it did two years ago
when Mr. Wright declined a nomi
nation. and offered to dictate a
platform to them.
And then there is a rumor afloat
that proposes the name of Dr. Wm
H. Felton, better known as “Eto-
wah Bill,” of “Hallelujah Lick”
Jeffersonian Democracy fame.
This rumor after floating around
the seventh for some weeks has got
ten into the cold type of the Atlan
ta Journal as follows:
“The rumor is current in the
seventh district that Dr. Felton
has about consented to make the
race for congress as an independ
ent candidate. In that event he
will have the support of the popu
lists. The doctor has lost but lit
tle of his old time fire, and, when
he takes the stump, will revive the
“hallelujah licks” that made him
so famous in former campaigns,
“But,” said one of his neighbors
this morning, “the doctor is not
as popular as he was a few years
ago, while John Maddox has in
creased his strength and popular
ity’’ since he has been in congress,
A race between the doctor and
Colonel Maddox would be highly*
interesting, but the result would
be that Colonel Maddox would con
tinue to serve the people in the
district in congress.”
Outside of the above rumors the
Hustler of Rome finds many pop
ulists who say that they have good
and strong men in their own party
ranks and from them they will
choose a leader who will bear their
standard to victory—or defeat,
They say that the report that
Rankin, of Gordon, will support
Seab Wright and stump the dis
trict for him if Seab will run as an
independent is but a covert blow at
populism and will prove abortive,
Os course Judge Maddox will be
nominated by the democrats to
succeed himself and of course he
will defeat all comers be they pop
ulists, independent or flopperistic,
Maddox is the stuff and the wool
hat boys know it, Mark the pre
diction and watch the results,
