Later all the color-bearing troops from Na goya were sent out. Recently an additional 20,000 First Division reserves have been landed at Shan-Hai- Kwan.

The total number of Japanese troops advancing on Pekin from different quarters is, at the lowest estimate, 150,000. The sentiment of the Liberal party fn Japan, now largely -in the ascendant indicates that there will be no peace tlations until Japanese troops have pi I the walls of the "Forbidden City." WAR TO THE DEAL Heavy Price Cutting Begun bt Plate Glass Makers. PITTSBURG, Jan. 1. With the new year will commence the war to the death between the plate glass manufacturers of this country.

A cut of 20 per cent from existing prices will be made by the Diamonc Plate Glass Co. of Kokomo, and th. Pittsburg Plate Glass Co. The cut is causec by the recent conference in Pittsburg plate Elas manufacturers. At this meedn- an attempt was made to form a combinatlr or the plate glass interests, but it nnr fell through.

C. B. McLean of the Plttsb Plate Glass in speaking of this meetlr said: We are to Increase our stock to HO.000,000 and buy the other plants. An agreement was rinaaly reached and these were the valuations: The Pittsburg Plate Glass Co. plant, $5,31,000: the Diamond Plate Glass Works, the Howard Works, JSuO.000, and tne cnarleroi and crystal late plants.

$1,000,000 each. 'Another meeting was held later in Cleve land, at which the Howard Plate Glass Co. refused to sell, although the President had -agreed to take (600,000 for the plant at the conference. Consequently, the combination was declared off. We have been notified that the Diamond Company will cut the price of plate glass 20 per cent to-morrow.

We will make the same cut and the Dia mond Company canot get under us." "The effect of this cut is that all the small plants will have to shut down. The only two that can afford to run are the Diamond and our own. We can tell wnere tkli will end. The price of plate-glasa has been coming down right along. Two years ago it was worth $2.40 a square foot.

P.y the new cut it will be but 29 cents per ii are foot. I cannot predict what compH-'-. cations will follow this reduction." i Ty riTjt QTDTIZI? hi A It UH A 01 iiilxlllt Ctmeffia 6Si CO. at BraddOCk Sak" Irtm ITI ITS MftflTl PITTSBURG, Jan. 1.

Abe Slupsky Accompanies the Delegation The Governor's Reception The Pro posed Investigating- Committee. The waiting-room of the Union Station presented in a great measure the appear ance of a convention hall this morning, when the large delegation of local and State politicians assembled there preparatory to boarding the train that was to take them to.

Jefferson City to attend the formal open ing of the State Legislature. Those that arrived early gathered about in little groups, airing their ideas and opinions on the various bills, that were to come before the House. Quite a number did not reach the station until a few moments be fore the departure of the train, and there BENJAMIN S. RUSSELL. was a wild scramble on the part of the tardy ones to escape being left behind.

All managed to get on board, however, and when the train rolled out of the station it bore as good natured and as jovial a set of politicians as ever headed their way for the capital of the State. Some of the most conspicuous of the dele gation were: Col. Richard Dalton, Foun tain H. Ketcham, John Gernez, Nick Bell, Harry Guinzberg, Charles D. Comfort, Theodore Ashcroft, the candidate for En grossing Clerk of the Legislature, Harry Pocock, R.

According to ex-Senator Ketchum. the opening exercises of the Legislature will be exceedingly lively, as in his opinion war is to be made on the Filleyites. GOVERNOR'S RECEPTION.

It had been supposed all along, that ow ing to the Governor's reception, which takes place this evening, the Republican caucus for Speakership would not be held until the next evening, after the temporary organi zation of the House. The rumor was current during the morning, however FI1-ley had signified his intention of adhering to the old maxim of attending to business before pleasure, and that the caucus would be held this evening.

Saunders, who was active in tne entertainment ot his chief callers. Mayor Walbridge, when asked by a Post-Dispatch reporter for an expression of his views on St. Louis' prospects for 1895, at il clocK, said that he did not care to go into the subject at length. OUTLOOK FOR '95. "I regard," said he, "the outlook for in creased business in St.

Louis during 1835 from an optimistic view. I do not antici pate a boom, but there will, I am sure. be a continuance of the conditions which make St. Louis prominent in the commer cial and financial world. Conservatism tends to success, and the methods of St.

Louis business men have been such that our citv suffered less from hard times than other, communities.

The First Eepublican to Take the Chair in Twentj-two Years. HE WILL PUSH BEFOSMS SUGGESTED BY THE LEXOW COMMITTEE. Enlargement of the Powers of the Mayor Proposed-Special Legislation Needed to Correct Abuses Revealed by the Recent Investigation Gov.

Morton's Inauguration at Albany. NEW YORK, Jan. For the first time in twenty-two years a Mayor not of the Democratic faith is at the head of the city governments Wm. L. Strong, who was today inducted into the office, represents very much the same conditions and social elements that asserted themselves in 1872 in the elevation of Wm.

F. Havemeyer to the Mayoralty. In both instances there was a revolt) against municipal corruption. Upon both occasions public sentiment was crys talized through the medium of a committee of seventy, the main purpose in 1872 being to overthrow the. Tweed regime, and in 1894 to correct abuses, known or sus pected, in the police and other departments of the city government.

The exposure of the practice of levying blackmail by the police, particularly upon the criminal classes of society, who in con sideration of the payments of money, were granted immunity from arrest, was primarily the work of the Society for the Prevention of Vice, which procured the appointment of the State Senate committee which has become famous under the name of its Chairman, Mr. Lexow. The unearthing of the corruption in municipal affairs is only a beginning of the work of reform which is in contemplation, and which, before recurrences of such abuses can be prevented, it is claimed, calls for -radical changes Jn the State laws relat ing to th government of cities. Without an enlargement) of the powers of the Mayor, it is argued. Mr.

Strong, whatever may be his disposition, is-as helpless combat corruption in the- departments as his predecessor in office has been. It is proposed to enact a law giving the Mayor the power of removal over heads of bureaus, and an absolute control of the Police Department. Under the present system, while the Mayor appoints members of the Police Board and other department chiefs, he may not re move them except though processes that practically amount to a deprivation of the power. The framing of new laws touching these points promises to be as important work as any that is likely to come before the State Legislature and to bring out as many conflicting theories. GOV.

LEVI P. MOBTOIT. Simple Ceremonies Attending the In auguration at Albany. ALBANY, N. Levi P.

Morton was Inaugurated as Governor of New York at noon to-day. The ceremonies were simple. The new Governor and his full military staff, in carriages, were escorted to the Capitol by four companies of the National Guard. In the Executive Chamber the Governor-elect was greeted by the retiring Governor, who was surrounded by his military staff, after which all proceeded to the assembly chamber. After prayer by Bishop Doane, Gov.

Flower extended a formal welcome to his successor in office. In a brief reply. Gov. Morton corrmlimented his predecessor, both as a man and as an official. There was nothing of a partisan nature in either address.

The oath of office was administered by Secretary of State Palmer. In the executive chamber Gov. Morton received for an hour the congratulations of a great number of people, including members of the Legislature and representatives of Republican organizations throughout the State.

He pretended to be asleep for a few minutes, but finally became talkative and described the duel graphically, showing as well aa he could the position they were in when Kelly received what may prove to be mortal wounds. At first he said that the shooting was a piece of skylarking, but he afterwards admitted that it was about a woman.

Casey is a fairly intelligent mulatto. I "Yes, mister, there was. woman in the case," said he. "It was a''ut Emma Bee. She is a sort of sporting woman that lives near where I do.

712 North Twelfth street, "Lee Shelton, John Kelly and I were at Emma Bee house an hour before the shooting occurred. Emma was not there. Kelly was feeling frisky and to frighten the girls he shot off his pistol. We stayed about an hour and went back to the sa- loon at 1201 Gay street. Emma went back home and heard about Kelly shooting off his pistol in her house.

She was mad. She came running back to the saloon and began chewing the rag with Kelly about the mat ter. Kelly sassed her back. They had it up and down, each one cursing at the other for ten or fifteen minutes. When she was gone I and Lee Shelton got to asking Kelly what he shot off his pistol in the house for.

He was half drunk and so was I. Kelly got mad, but I did not believe he meant any harm. LIFE AND DEATH STRUGGLE. was off at one corner of the bar talk ing to Lee Shelton when he came behind me and caught my right hand. I looked around and saw that he was drawing his pistol.

Then I got scared. We tusseied for two or three minutes, but I couldn't get my hand loose. I tried to keep him from getting out his gun, but was no good with my left hand. He finally put the pistol to my back and fired, still holding my right hand with his right. "In the row we raced up and down the whole saloon.

Everybody else cleared out of the way. I broke loose as soon as Kelly shot me. He then got scared and Jumped over the bar. As he did so, I firedat him twice. Then somebody came andtook my gun and the police arrested us." Casey refused to tell what had occurred at Emma Bee's house before Kelly fired i his pistol.

He denied that Kelly shot at anybody there. Casey admitted that he was on very Intimate' terms, at Emma Bee's place, but tie was asked if it were not true that as jealous of Kelly's frequent visits he maintained a stubborn silence. DEAD IN THE WOODS. very of the Decomposing Body of W. A.
