Kiys a great battle Ims been fought
at Ping Yang, between the Chinese
and Japanese troops, in which the
former were utterly routed.
Tiie battle was opened Saturday
at daybreak by a Japanese canno
nade of the Chinese works, which
was continued without cessation
until the afternoon, the Chinese
responding. Their work with the
L heavy guns showed good pratice.
At about 5 o’clock a body of in.
fantry was thrown forward by the
Japanese and maintained a rille
fire upon, the enemy'until dusk.
Throughout the day only the Pong
San column was engaged. The
bChine.se defenses had suffered
greatly, but the losses on either
side were small, both th* Chinese
and Japanese having taken advan
tage of all shelter available.
At 3 o’clock in the morning an ,
attack was made by the. Japanese
columns simul laneously and with
admirable precision- The t.hinese
line which were so strong in front,
were found to bo weak in the rear,
and here the attack was a perfect
success.
The Chinese *were completely
taken b/ surprise and were thrown
into a panic. Hundreds were cut
down and those who escaped dealh
finding themselves suri >uuded at
i every point, brojee and lied.
Some of Viceroy Li Hupg
Chang’s European drilled troops
stood their ground to the eastward
and were cut down to a man. The
Pong San column, swarming over
the defense in front, completed
the rout.
Half an lh»ur after the attack
opened the positions of Ping Yang
were in poseesion of the Japanese.
It is estimated that 220,00 P Chi
nese soldiers were.engaged in the
battle.
JAVANESE LOSS SLIGHT.

stores of provisions, ri.mmii ns of
waraud\ hundreds of stands of
colors. The Chinese loss is estimat
es at. Ifi.OOO killed, wonnde I and
taken prisoners. Among those cap
tured by the Japanese are several

Victoria, B. C., Sept 18. —The
trial of the principals in the recent
devil worship by recel tribes of Fi
ji, according to advices just re
ceived, ended in six prisenors liv
ing sentenced to death. One of
tiie condemned, a boy of About
sixteen, is said to be responsible
for the entire affair, having pro
claimed himself a devil priest and
urged his follow-tribesmen to re
turn to an anemnt custom of life
and superslit itious worship. But.,
in consideration of his youth the
Executive Council commuted his
sentence to ten years’ imprison
ment, They remitted the death
penalty in the cases of two others,
who will serve in chains for twen

So far the “ax” has fallen mofil
heavily upon the women employees
and many high-priced female
clerks have been discharged. The
scene today and Saturday when
the dreaded y 1 low envelopes con
taining the discharge was handed
to the victims, were iu many cases
pathetic.
It was not unusual to have a
dozen groups ol pretty crying
clerks in one bureau. Many of the
female clerks discharged had been
i long iu the service, and one case
is mentioned of a woman who was
among the first ever appointed to
government office by United Stab's
Treasurer Spinner, over thirty-five
years ago. Twelve clerks were dis
charged today.
Tiie gold reserve increased today
nearly $400,000, standing at tiie
