The boats then re— turned to the cruiser, and the transport was sunk with one well directed shot. In the meantime the 'l'alzachiho and Akitsushima engaged the 'l‘si-Yuen and Ko-Otsu. The Chinese on the Ko-Otsu fought stubbornly for over an hour, dis- played the flag of surrender, and the J ap- anese men-of-war were approaching her when she suddenly discharged a torpedo, which, however, the. Japanese were able to avoid. The engagement was renewed more hotly than ever, till finally the Tsi- Yuen turned and made oil at full speed toward Jinsen, being pursued for 100 miles by the Japanese, but not overtaken. The Ko-Otsu got aground in shallow wa- ter;while seeking sheltered anchorage and thus fell an easy captive to the Japanese. The Chinese fired their guns more.rapidly than their opponents and had they not been so greatly outnumbered would un- doubtedly have achieved a victory. As it was it is testimony to the skill of tho Tsi- Yuen’s commander that he foughtftwo of Japan’s best ships for a full hour and_then escaped. Since the naval fight off Gasan, the run- ning of Japanese steamers between J insen and Fusan has been suspended. General travel on the smaller oriental liners is very much broken, and neWs of an authen- tic nature is difilcult to obtain. In Yoko- . hama it is believed that China’s plan will be to march troops into Korea by the way of Wiju, and the Japanese government is said to be taking measures accordingly. The queen of Korea is reported as missing, but she is under medical treatment, hav- ing been attacked withzmalarial fever. At the time Of sailing of the Tacoma from Yokohama four Chinese transports Were reported missing and were supposed to have been lost in a. typhoon or captured by the Japanese.

THAT nowhsnuso rIGnr. Firot Reliable Details of the Sinking of the Transport Ship. -B. 0., Aug. VICTORIA, 17. —- ’l‘he . steamer Tacoma from Hongkong brings the following accounts of the naval battle in the neighborhood of Gasan: Three Japanese mon-of-war, the Akit- sushima, Takachiho and Naniwa, met at sea‘the Chinese cruiser Tsi-Yuen with a small dispatch boat, the Ko-Otsu, and the transport liow-Shung. and'after an en- gagement lasting one hour and 730 min- utes, captured the dispatch boat and sunk the transport, while the cruiser escaped. To fully appreciate this action, the rela- tive strength of the combatants must be considered. On the Japanese side were the Akitsu- shima with a tonnage of 3,150 and speed of 19 knots; the Takachiho, of 3,700 tons with a speed of 18 knots, and the Naniwa, fully as large, powerful and swift as either of her companions. The armament of the three included one 42 ton gun, four 28 ton guns, :0 quickfiring and 32 machine guns ' On the other side was the Tsi-Yuen, with a tonnage of 2,355 and 2, 300 horse- power, with a speed of but 15 knots and carrying two 81/. inch guns. one 51neh and nine machine guns. The dispatch boat was unarmed, and beingawooden ship, not steaming more than eight knots, her power of resistance to capture was as small as her capacity to evade it. The Japanese warships were proceeding toward J insen, when the Chinese vessels were met. The Chinese warship, seeing the Japanese flagship, immediately opened her ports instead of observing the usual courtesics and began the fighting, appa- rently to cover the retreat of the transport steamer, which left, promptly pursued by the N aniwa. At this juncture the trans- port was flying the white flag as well as the English colors. DESPICABLE CHINESE TREACHERY.

In Japan, the dispatch says, the war fever is intense and universal, the press and popular orators preaching to .the ex- cited peoplc of vastly ambitious schemes, including the conquests of China, or at least the conquest of the Chinese province of Manchuria. The Japanese populace and press are under complete ofiicial control. Perfect order prevails among the town populations. , ' The Japanese government enforces com- plete secrecy in respect to all military movements, and a rigorous censorship is observed over press and other dispatches. Japan to Abrogato Foreigners‘ Rights. YOKOHAMA, Aug.-17.—A notice has been issued to the effect that the revision of the treaties between Japan and the foreign powers will be taken in hand forthwith. The essential features of the revision will be that foreigners will not have the right of trial in their own consular courts, the government will confer upon foreigners certain privileges in regard to the tenure of land, the right of settlement, and for- eigners will also have certain privileges in regard to taxation. The foreigners here are greatly concerned at the proposed re- vision of the treaties with foreign nations and are strongly of the opinion that the time has not arrived when their interests can be left to the Japanese.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—President Cleve- land is sick, and his physician has advised him to go to Buzzard’s Bay for a few days’ rest. This morning at an early hour the president left the White House, accompanied by his ever faithful secre- tary, Thurber, and proceeded to the Penn- sylvania railroad depot in time to catch the 7:30 o’clock train for New York. At the station the president was joined by Dr. O’Reilly of the army, who has been detailed during the present administra- tion as White House physician. Captain Bob Evans (Fighting Bob) of the navy was also a member of the party. The lat— ter only accompanied the president to New York, Where he takes command of his ship. ’ _ While the president is not seriously ill, it is given out at the White House that he has been under a severe strain during the past week owing to the tariff bill. On Saturday and Sunday he labored with all his energy to stem the tide which set in against a. further delay in passing the sen- ate bill. For 48 hours the president pulled every wire on the political switchboard to try to head off the passage of the senate bill through the house. Will Return Next “’eek. V'hen the result was announced and his efforts proved futile, he was completely exhausted, and at the advice of Dr. O’Reilly he finally consented to run down to Buzzard’s Bay for a few days. He is expected to return to Washington the middle of next Week. ‘ No information can be 0 taincd from Mr. Thurber, who is left behind to preside over the executive mansion, as to the probable action of the president on the tariff bill. He may announce his approval or disapproval of the measure from Buz- zard’s Bay. Nothing can be learned as to his intended action on the river and bar bar bill or any of the other measures pending before him.- Several senators went to the White House this morning to consult the presi- dent as to their course in dealing with the fight on the sugar bill now pending in the senate. They were surprised and disap- pointed to learn that he left the Capitol Bity without notifying them or even indi- cating to them how he would like to have them act. Secretary Thurber's Statement. Private Secretary Thurber made the following authorized statement: “The president left this morning for a few days’ absence, under the advice of his physician, inthe hope of shakingtoif an- attack of malaria, from which he has been suffering for several days. Yesterday the attack culminated in fever, but which was under control this morning. Dr. O’Reilly, his physician, expresses no doubt that a few days of salt air and rest will recuperate the president sufficiently to re- new his ofi‘icial duties, and hewill return to Washington by the middle of next week. He has gone to Gray Gables and is accom- panied by Dr. O’Reilly. ” The president has never fully recovered from the attack of malaria which caused him to make the two trips in the lighthouse tender Violet down Chesapeake bay and outside Capes Henry and Charles. Anxiety over the tariff situation is sup- posed to have aggravated the indisposition, and when the matter was settled by the action of the house in passing the tariff bill the relaxation came and made a change of air necessary. Before leaving the city he sent the tariff bill over to the secretary of the treasury for a report, as is customary with revenue bills. Off on the Lighthouse Tender. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—President Cleve- land, accompanied by Dr. O’Reilly and Captain Robley D. Evans, arrived at the Pennsylvania railroad depot in Jersey City at 1:02 p. In. He was escorted to the lighthouse tender John Rogers, Which Was lying at a nearby pier and which at once started for Gray Gables. Dr. O’Reilly accompanied the president on the Rogers.

THE BEFUBLIGANS’ PLANS. Their Most Probable Course With Refor- ence to "Free" Tariff Bills—Senator Kyle “'ould Prohibit Liquor Selling In the Capitol. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 7. —-'l‘hc Republican steering committee met previous to the convening of the senate today and decided to support the motion to refer the four supplemental tariff bills to the finance committee, and to seek to amend them in various ways, the principal amendment to be ofiered being for the repeal of the tariff hill just passed.- . The discussion which occurred in the committee indicated a preponderance of opinion in favor of the reference of the bills as contemplated by Senator Harris’ motion, the feeling being that there was no reason in the present instance for de- parting from the usual course in such matters. The idea was also advanced that if there is reason for amending the tariff bill in so many essential particulars as is contem- plated in the supplemental bills there is doubt as to its general worth, and the Re- publican senators will take the position that it should be repealed outright. Enough, they claim, was developed before the senate bill was accepted by the house to indicate first if the bill could have been brought back to the senate in any way'it would have been defeated, and they assert a belief that the same votes on the Dem~ ocratlc side which Would then have been cast against the bill would now be cast for its repeal. They count upon the votes of Senators Hill,Cafiery, Blanchard, Allen and Kyle. If they should fail on the re- peal amendment. they will seek to sub- stitute the bounty provision for the pond- ing bill for free sugar and would expect to secure the votes of the' five senators mentioned above, except Senator Hill. They will also offer numerous other amendments in certain contingencies, in- cluding one for a duty on wool. They admit that if the sugar bills should pa’ss with an amendment providing either for a bounty or for the repeal of the main bill the house probably would refuse to accept it, and it most likely would fail in conference. ‘ In the Senate. The contest over the disposition of the free sugar bill was resumed in the senate today. At the opening of the session Mr. Hill (Dem., N. Y. ), by unanimous con- sent, secured the consideration of his bill to provide for the exclusion and deporta‘ tion of alien anarchists. Mr. Hill ex- plained that the bill was virtually a re- port from the conference committee. The house had passed a bill for consular in- spection abroad, and the senate had amended it. In conference it was decided that a new bill could be formed more eas- ily than the differences between the two houses could be adjusted. Mr. Hill remarked rather bitingly that the bill was, like another bill over which there had been some controversy, a step in the right direction. Mr. Chandler (Rep, N. H.) gave the bill his full indorsement. Mr. Palmer (Dem.. Ills. ), however, an-. nounced his opposition to the principle in— volved. The bill was passed without divi- sion. Mr. Gorman (Dem., Md.) reported the resolution for the publication of the report of the civil servicecommission. In doing so he explained that the delay in reporting it had been due to the pressure of matters in connection with the tariff bill, but that members of the commission had used the delay to circulate false, ma- licious and slanderous reports about sen- ators. He warned the commission in the future to be more respectful when they sought to have their reports printed. The resolution was adopted. ’ . Mr. Dolph (Rep, Or.) gave notice of? an amendment he should offer to the free _ sugar bill to reStore the McKinley duties on wool. Kyle’s Antiliquor Resolution. Mr. Kyle (Pop. , S. D.) called up his reso- lution to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors in the senate wing of the capitol during the recess. . . “Why prohibit the sale onl-r during the recess?” asked Mr. Platt (Rep, Conn. ). “Is there any rule that authorizes the sale of spirituous liquors in the senate wing of the capitol?" asked Mr. Sherman (Rep., 0.). “The rule prohibits the sale of intoxi- cating liquors at any time,” replied Mr. Kyle, answering both questions at once. “And I should like to see it enforced 385 days in the year.” Mr. Kyla denied that he posed as a re- former. He did not want to prohibit the drinking of whisky, but he did think its sale should be prevented in the capitol. If man wanted to drink, there were plenty of saloons in this vicinity. He had never left the capitol at 7 o’clock in the evening without staggering against a drunken man within the two blocks. “You mean without having a drunken man stagger against you," suggested Mr.- . Gray,correcting Mr. Kyle’slanguage. The resolution was sent to the committee. Later.—The fro: coal, iron, sugar and barbed wire bills were roferrod to the financial committee, which heldameeting at once and will probably report the bills tomorrow. _ Work of the Hon”. There was a mere handful of members present today when the speaker called the house to order. ‘ The deficiency appropriation bill was taken up for further consideration.
