No Prospects of a Cessa tion of the Hostili ties. 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 view's quoted as saying: “The Japanese cannot go backwards It is useless to talk about aces- 1 Bation of hostilities.” IN. ( SPOKE IN DALLAS. Judge Maddox Wakes Things up 1 in Paulding. Judge John W. Maddox went ( down to Dallas over the Southern this morning at 11:15, a id spoke there this afternoon. The Judge is doing some splen did work for democracy now, and is speaking at different points every day He is a fine debater and Is thoroughly posted on political matters, ! 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.
