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.
Another letter dated Hong
Kong, August 80th. says that all
that is now left to the Whampoa
arsenal at Canton is the naval

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.

A Cyclone Visits Little Rock and

Little Rogk, Ark. October 2—A
kerriable cyclone struck this city
at 7 :80 o’clock tonight and almost
devasted thejbusiness portions <f

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 to.al
property loss will probably approxi
mate a half million dollars.

VERY QUIET
GOES THE FIGHT.
The Lightest vote Foiled in Any
State Election
IK FLOYD FOR YEARS.
Only 600 votes Polled in Rorr e
at 3 o’clock. 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.

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
