London, Sept., 24. —A dispatch
to the Standard from Berlin says
that advices have been received
there from Seoul as follows: The
news of the great victory of the
Japanese over the Chinese at Ping
Yang was received at the Corean
capitol with every manifestation
of joy.
The Japanese flag was carried
through the streets to the King’s
palace.
The King at once te’egraphed
his congratulations to General
Count Yamangata and also sent
an expression of homage to the
mikado, designating the Japanese
as the liberators of Corea. The
mikado replied, addressing the
King as his friend and ally, ex
pressing hope that Corea would
prosper now that she had shaken
off the Chinese yoke.
It is st ated in those advices that
the Japanese army which is to
march to Pekin will be accompa
nied by a naval squadron to the
mouth of the Pe-Horiver, in the
province of Pe-Chi-Li
The Times will publish a dis
patch tomorrow from Shanghai
saying that the hulls and batteries
of the Chinese war ships Ting Yuen
and Chen Yuen, which were en
gaged in the Yalu river fight, are
uninjured.
The Chinese operations at Yalu
were directed by Maj. von Hanne
kea, who with eight foreign volun
teer officers served splendidly and
greatly inspired the Chinese by
their example. Messrs. McGiffen
and Heyman, engineers, were
wounded.
Messrs. Albrecht and Hoffman,
also engineers, alone escaped inju
ry. The wounded are all doing well
and will soon be able to resume
duty.
The disaster to the Chinese at
Ping Yang was chiefly due to lack
of co-operation between ths com
manding officers, which is a com
mon fault in the Chinese army.
It is reported that a Russian
fleet has assembled at Vladivostock
prepared for immediate action.
The transports volunteer fleet as
they arrive, are being detained at
Vladivostok.
The Times tomorrow will pub
lish a dispatch from Berlin stat
ing that in an interview today a
member of the Chinese legation in
Berlin declared that China cannot,
dare not and will not give up Co
rea thought the war should las
thirty years.
Viecourt Aoki, the Japanese 1
minister, with whom the’ Times
correspondent also had an inter

Japanese cannot go backwards
It is useless to talk about aces- 1

! A HUNDRED DEAD
And a Cool Million Destroyed by
The Storm.
TOWNS WIPED OUT
In Many Places After Death
had Ridden in on the Storm
the Fire Fiend Leaoed
in Fury and Licked
up the Debris.
Minneapolis, Minn. Sqd. 23. —
R ports of the destruction.wrought
by Friday night’s cyclone indicate
that the loss of life will be some
whsrn in th.» ue.ghbs rhood of sev
enty-five, while the injured will
number several times as many.
Some of those hurt are expected to
d e and it is not unlikely that ful
ly one hundred persons will be
numbered in the lisc of the cy
clone’s fury.
As indicated in last nights dis
patches, the storm originated near
Emmettsburg, la. and passed east
and north to northen lowa, and
southern Minnesota, finally pass
ed into Wisconsin.
Ar Leroy, lying southwest four
are dead and several fatally in
jured. The destruction of property
amounts to about $5,000. It was a
heavy blow to the vdliage, for its
chief business houses are in ruins
Five miles north of Oswego, la.,
six persons were killed and a large
number were hurt. The distraction
of farm property is quite heavy,
but no estimates have been made.
East, at Lowther , a town of
about 100 souls on the Chicago
Gr-at Western, three persons were
fatally hurt and the whole country
for miles around laid in ruins.
The loss in this vicinity will prob
ably be not far from SIOO,OOO,
Fifteen miles north of Mason
City, la., four persons were killed
outright and as many were proab
ly 4 fatally hurt, while all the build
ings struck - are total wrecks’ the
loss being in the neighborhood of
SSO 000.
West of Mason City, near Brett
two persons were killed outright,
while north of this town some six
lost their lives.
Three miles north of Wesley,
Kossuth county, J. Bingham’s
house was overturned and caught
fire. The inmates had a narrow es
cape.
North of Algona seems to have
been the scene of the greatest har
vest of death, more persons being
killed in Kossuth coumy than in
any other one country through
which the tornado passed. Nine
te n funerals were held at Algona
today.
North of Emmettsburg, which
seems to have been the point where
the cyclone first assumed danger
ous proportions, two lives were
crushed out.
From here the deadly storm
went tearing across the, country
demolishing everything in its path.
For the most part of its course it
traveled through a farming district
Leroy and Spring Valley, Minn.,
being the only two towns of any
consequence that were damaged
but even here the deaths were
comparatively few.
The fact that the storm went tear
ing through a portion of Soring
Valley and the greater portion of the
residences were not aware of its-’(work
of destruction until ttie fire bells were
rung, shows what a narrow str p of
country was swept.
As the storm traveled through the
country and avoided villages and
towns, the ty loss is lagely
confined to farm buildings and these
being badly scattered, render even
an approximation of the loss impossi
ble, but conservative estimates place
the damage not less than sl,-
000,000.
CRISP COMING.
