Shanghai, October 10.—Various
rumors are in circulation, the
moat prominent being that 40 000
Japanese troops have landed near
Shan-Hai Kwan, on the boundary
between the Chinese provinces of
Manchuria and Chi-Li,at tneeast -
eru end of the great wall which
traverses China. The telegraph
wires have been cut, thus hinder
ing communication with that dis
trict.

as unreliable, says that the Japa
nese have effected a landing near
New Chwang, gulf of Loao-Ton,
According to a letter received
here from Tien-Tsin during the
progress of a large fire there, on
Friday last, the Chinese merchants
volunteered and protected the set
tlement and are now patrolling the
steets from sunset to sunrise.
It is reported here from Tien-
Tsin that the British and Russian
ministers have arrived there, and
that they will proceed at once to
Peking.
Another report which reaches
the «ty is that as era skirmish,
which took place north of tbeYalu
river yesterday, the Japanese out
posts were driven back across the
river.
Advices received here from Port
4l thur say that the repairs to the
Chinese fleet which was engagee in
the battle off the Yalu river have
been completed and that the keet
will proceed to sea today.

GUNS SCARCE IN CHINA
And Troops Are sent to the front
With Bows and Arrows.
London, October 10. —A dis
patch from Shanghia to the Cen
tral News says that, although the
Chinese government has plenty of
men at its disposal, there is a to
tal lack of modern arms for their
use.
This deficiency, the dispatch as
serts, the Germans are endeaver
ing to supply. Many of the Chi
nese soldiers recently sent to the
front have been armed only with
jingals and bows and arrows.
The families of the customs of
ficials at Pekin are arriving at
Shanghia by every steamer.
A higLi official in the service of the

MET TODAY.
Executsve Committee of the
Seventh Congressional District.
The members of the executive
committee of the seventh congress
ional committee met in the city
court room of the court house
this morning.
All of the counties were repre
sented but four and the meeting
was harmonious, and resulted in
a clear insight into the state of
affair in this district, and how to
meet all the oppositions.
The question of registration in
the state election was left to the
state executive committee which
meets next Saturday,
It is the general opinion of those
conversant with the political situ
ation in the seventh that John W.
Maddox will carry the district by
5,000 or 6,000.
Every body should go to work
now, and make his majority a
great big one. Floyd’s going to
give him over 1,000.

MUNICIPAL CORRUPTION
Even Darkerthan Creamed of
by honest Citizens of
"Greater New York"
"Silver Dollar
Smth" is in it.
New York, October 11.—For
the third time since the Lexow in
vestigation commenced, Chief
Consul Goff today procured evi
dence to show that threats have
been made to put an end to the
witnesses who have appeared be
fore the senators conducting the
examination.
Samuel Kaufman, a tailor sales
man, was the first witness called
during the day. He gave the sub
stance of a conversation which he
claimed took place on an elevated
railroad train just after Police
man Corcoran left the witness
stand Monday.
Corcoran was alleged to have
asserted that he would “make
those witnesses as dead as a door
nail,” and that he would “lay for
them some dark night.” The wit
nesses supposed to be referred to
were Quinn and a friend.
By those persons Corcoran was
accused of being a “clubber.’’ The
policeman with Corcoran had ad
vised him not to talk so loud, and
told him to wait until the Lexow
committee had finished its inves
tigations before making the at
tempt.
Patrick Kelly, an iron worker,
related a story of going through
his pockets. The name of the offi
cer he thought was Thorow. H 0
accused the policeman of abstract
ing 50 cents, but the officer only
laughed at him and pushed him
along, telling him to “move on.”
He reported the matter to police
station and he asserts that a day
or two after this he was assaulted
by the policeman who finnally ar
rested him. He was fined $5 on the
I testimony of th“ policeman.
Since the Lexow investigation
had commenced the captain of the
Eighty-eighth Street station had
sent for him, he alleged, and told
him that therejwas a job waiting
for him at the station. He did not
go to the captain about the mat
ter.
Venron H. Brown, the general
agent of the Cunard Line, admit
ted that he had paid $lO weekly
to the officers in charge of the
Cunard wharf, but he claimed
that he had never paid additional
sums of money to the police
FIXBD THE PATROLS.!;.
John H.Lemon, a young man who
attended the French ball, testifie
that Superentendeut Byrnna, and a
number of police officials were pres
ent at the ball. They did not make
any protest against the lewd conduct
of the pen ous assembled there.
William H. Jamuuueu, president
of the Alvin manufacturing Company
testified t< |paying Detective ’OCon
nor SIOO for the recovery of stolen
goods from the pawn brokers
Vincent Majewski, who conducten
a policy shop, tesc fled to the tribute
exacted by the police. Majewski
explained that there were seventeen
or eighteen backers in the city, and
that they arranged with the police
jor the territory they should work
All the backers except Cornelius B
Parker, where in the combine at the
present time.
He was working alone, but wrs not
allowed to have many shops on the
West side. Asked who had that ter
ritory Majewski replied “Al Adms.
‘The King.’”
DID NOT FOOL BYRNES
Letters were read which are al-
leged to have passed between Ma
jewski and the police captain,
Westervelt. In th et-e letters there
were constant references to the
dangeA of exposures by the news
papers .
Majewski was troubled by oppo
sition policy shops, which did net
pay tribute and fake letters of com
plainedwe of re still running.
The investigation closed for the
day with an examination of Lie
ber Freeman, who claimed that he
visited “Silver Dollar” Smith to
secure immunity from arrest for
his brother-in-law, Joseph Frakel,
a Hester street saloon keeper.
A man named Solomon claimed
to represent Smith and S2OO was
finally paid to secure the release
of Frankel from prison. The ar
rangement was that Smith should
find bail, but he secured a dis.
charge for Frankel.
The money was raised by Max
Rosenschweig, and as Smith did
not procure the bail as arranged
upon at fist, Rosenschweig has
brought suit in the city court to
recover S2OO.
