THE HUSTLER OF HOME. CSIENTAL SENSATIONS The Emperor of Cnina may be De posed LI HUNG CHANG OUT General Yeh was Slain in the Battle of Ping-Yang. Jap aneese Civilization is Sweeping The Hea then Land London, October 8. —The Times publishes letters from Yokohama bearing date of August 24th, stat ing that Japan is preparing to in crease her army in Corea to 100,- 000 men. The intentions of the government as proclaimed by the native press are to crush the Chi nese army in Corea and march on Pekin, whore a claim for a large indemnity will be made and the cession of the island of Formosa demanded, A letter dated September Ist. says that the dispatch of troops continues, buttheir destination is unknown except that 100,000 men have Jest to fight the Chinese somewhere. The Japanese believe that they will be in a position to dictate terms to China before the end of the year, and also that they wi’j possess the horded millions at Moukden belonging to the Chinese imperial family. Japan is calling out the second reserve to supplement the denuded garrisons. The call has not been responded to with enthusiasm. Many of the men were never before called out. They are ignorant and dull, and are angry because of having to leave their occupationsand fami lies. They are afraid that they will be called into active service. The people therefore, are less en thusiastic about the war.

China ship building establish ments an , therefore, reduced to the Foo-Chow and Shanghai ar senals, which are quite inadequate to compete with the Japanese fa cilities and establishments. China is trying to get warships in Europe, but the neutrality laws block the way. A large quantity of arms and ammunition is being shipped from the Whampoa arse nal to Formosa, where an attack is expected. Some employes of the souther stations of the Chinese customs have resigned to go north, None but gunners have gone yet, and it is supposed they will be detailed for duty in forts. CHANGES IN CHINA. New York, October B.—A special cable to the Herald from Shanghai says that the emperor of China will very likely be dethroned in favor of Prince Kung’s son, who will treat with the Japanese. Li Hung Chang has been super seded in supreme command by General Sang Tsing, of the prov ince of Hunan, who has received full powers. Li Hung Chang re tires disgusted to Pao-Tin-Foo, the capital of the province of Chi Li. Ilis alleged defection to the Japa nese is only canvassed subsequent to the recall of Prince Kung. Twenty thousand Hunan soldiers are gathered around ShanHai- Kwan, the terminus of the great wall where it forms the boundary between the provinces of Chi Li and Shing-King. Li Hung Chang’s army is distrusted. GENERAL YEH :WAB KILLED New York, October 2 —The Cen tr&l News Tokio correspondent states that after the battle of Piug- Yang, while the Japanese soldiers were engaged in burying those who bad fallen in the fight they found surrounded by a heap of dead bod les, the remains of an officer very richly clad. On the body was found a letter from the Chinese government ad dressed to General Yeh, commaud iu chief of the Chinese forces in Corea. This letter together with others from the wife of General Yeh, and various documents, which were al so found on the body, fixed beyond doubt the i 4 utity of the remains as those of General Yeh, who was supposed to have succeeded in making his escape after the com plete rout of his forces by the Ja panese. The body was interred with th" honors due the rank of the deceas ed offices. The Chinese prisoners who are being shipped to Japan are owing to their very .arge number distrib uted upon their arrival among the various millitary districts. WIND SWEPT. A Cyclone Visits Little Rock and Leaves Death Behind. Little Rogk, Ark. October 2—A kerriable cyclone struck this city at 7 :80 o’clock tonight and almost devasted thejbusiness portions <f the citv. Several people are known to have been killed and injured, The main portion of the business center, bounded on the south by Third street, on the by the river front, the west by Center street, is practically ruined and the damage is incalculable.

The Pops will Capture Cave Spring. Irregularities at Bar kers. The quietest state election ever held in Rome for many years is being held today. At three oclock this afternoon only 600 votes have been deposit ed in the Rome box and the pros pects are that more than 250 more will be received. A conservative estimate places Mr. Atkinsons majority at the Rome box at 400 votes while tLe democrats claim th-4 the full county returns will add 300 more to this figure Cui. Eubanks came in from Barkers district at 3 o‘clock aud stated that the polls of tbat pre cinct were not opened until 1:11 thisp.m and of the ’b.rty men present but 17 were voters and had given Mr. Hines a majority of about 7 For three hours prior to his departure no voter had arrived to swell the crowd. Last year, it will be remembered. Barker’s district went to the third party 7 by 138 majority. However, some of Barker’s have been cut in to Cave Spring district and the re port from there is that the pops will likely carry the day. Flatwoods was heard from about 2 o’clock and Hines had an appar ent majority of It) out of a vote of 68, which was about as light, accordingly, as the vote at Rome. Van’s Valley heard from at 8 o’clock, was said to be fully 5 to 1 for Atkinson. Mr. W. G. Donahoo, the clever gentleman, one of the Third par ty’s nominees for representative said at three o’clock that he be lieves he was defeated. Every one concedes that Mr. Donahoo has made a good race— leading his ticket by perhaps a hundred votes. Just why the vote is so light re mains to be explained though it is believed that the pops, who for weeks have ' been perfecting their organization, are polling their full strength. At 4 o’clock this afternoon only 700 votes had been polled at the Rome box, “which,” said Judge Lumpkin, “is the lightest vote I have ever known tor any general election, and 1 have held and help hold nearly all of them for many years. ’’ A relegram from Capt. Corput, at Cave Spring, says that precinct ha a gone to Hmes by about 40, votes. Reports from North Carolina Livingston, Texas Valley and How ells show large majorities for At kinson. The prospects at 4 o’clock point to an Atkinson majority of 600 or 700 for the county and the straight ticket along with him. SANDIFER-SEAY. A Happy Marriags Tonight of two Popular Young People.

HE WAS A HAMFATTER. And What he did few other men Would have ths cheek to do The sidewalks were tilled with people, and the news boys, witn the last edition of the News, were hurrying through the crowds, anx ious to make as many sales as pos sible iu the first few moments the ' * I the papers were out. A nicely dressed gentleman, standing ou the edge of the walk, whistled, and in an instant a h«lf dtzen little fellows darted toward him- He selected a paper from one of them and tho rest scattered. He ran his eyes carefully over the first page while the little fellow patiently waited. Not finding what he wanted, he turned to the second and leisurely scanned its colums. The boy was getting impatient, and shifted from one foot to the other while he looked inquiringly up into the face of his prospective customer. He had by this time opened the paper, glanced over the wants and editorial page, and apparently finding the article he was in search of, leisurely began to read it" The crowds were growing larger and all around the busy news boys were doing a rushing business — all except this one little fellow who was patiently waiting for his money. Once the man placed his hand in his vest pocket, as though iu search of a coin, but in stead brought out a toothpick, and the boys face fell as he saw him place it between his teeth and continue ro reading. The impatient look on the young ster's face changed to one of dis guut aud utter contempt as the man finished the article, carelessly folded the paper, handed it back and with out even thanking the boy walked down the street. He was au actor and wanted to read the notice of his show. —In dianapolis News, S. M, STARK.
