Field Marshal Yamagata, commanding the Japanese forces in Corea, is marching with troops against Moukden from the southeast. The object of attack is one of the strategic points and 6hould it fall into Japanese hands the progress of the invaders of Chinese soil would be made much less difficult.

The Chinese will make a desperate effort to hold their ground and a fierce conflict is expected when the opposing- forces meet. The advance of the Japs bears oat the idea of their determination to force their way to the interior and take "possession of Pekln. The value of the stores and ammunition captured by the Japanese at Ping; Yang- is reported to be 83,000,000. Yokohama, Sept. 21.

The particulars received here in legard to the battle of Ping- Yang- show that the Chinese loss is only about eleven officers wounded and 260 soldiers killed. Yala Naval Battle. London. Sept. 21.

Dispatches received here from Shanghai say that the total number of the Chinese fleet engaged in the battle fought oft the mouth of the Yalu river was twelve warships and four torpedo-boats. The Japanese fleet, it is added, was' composed of seventeen ships, some of which were small war vessels. The Chinese claim to have sunk the Japanese warships Abushima and Yossina and a Japanese transport which had been converted into a cruiser and named the Saiko. A private report received here from Shanghai declares that these vessels were not sunk, as the Chinese claim, but that they retired from the action in a' disabled condition. It is reported that the Chinese transport Toonan was sunk after she had landed her troops, but this is thought to be probably incorrect.

The report that Admiral Ting and Col. Von Hannekin were severely wounded seems to be incorrect, for they have both returned to duty. The officials of the Japanese legation here have received a private cable message from Yokohama saying that on oeptemoer 10 tweiTiriibM-uv ships encountered nine Japanese ships, with the result that after severe fighting- the Chinese lost four vessels and the Japanese none.

Acting- upon tbe instructions of the Clothing- Trades council No. 2, the g-armentmakers of this city to the number of 2,000 struck Thursday morning. Promptly at 7 o'clock the committee having- charge of the strike started on their rounds and called the men out systematically, not a contractor being-overlooked.

The operatives are also desirous of establishing- a working- day of nine hours with fixed wages.

Every man, woman and child responded to the call to stop work.

WAsmiroToir, Sept. SLrr-Senor Mur-naga, the Spanish minister, authorizes the following- statement as to recent cable reports that Spain had instructed him to open negotiations for anew commercial arrangement or treaty; "Since the reciprocity arrangements a brisk trade has been carried on between the United States and Cuba and Porto Klco, composed principally of farm products. which runs up Into the millions, say an average of $22,000,000 yearly for American ports.

It Is as much in tbe Interest of the United States as of Spain that the exchange of commodities should not collapse. The American sugar producers do not raise the tenth part of the home consumption, and struggle, besides, under disadvantages of climate, soil and prioe of labor. Americans, therefore, need our sugar, and their refining industries are largely benefited by It as Well as the farming products, whloh find a ready market for their surplus in Cuba and Porto Rico. Everything points, therefore, to the necessity of a fair and equitable understanding, even if it should not assume the formalities of a treaty." Senor Muruaga would not discuss the negotiations further. It is understood, however, that considerable has already been done toward effecting a tariff arrangement between the two countries.

Spain already freed from duty all g-oods which left prior to August 27 last, the date the new tariff act took effect. Secretary Carlisle has declined a like concession toward Cuban sugar and other products shipped prior to August 27, but landing- in the country after that date, holding- that the law would not permit it. This has created quite an agitation in Cuba and larg-e commercial meetings have been held. MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY. Manager of a Oaorgla Woolen Mill Killed by Companions.

Cnder Bammerlnar br Hears, Drops to 58 3-4. New York. Sent. 21. The feature of the wheat market Thursday was 1 the breaking of the December option to a new lowTecord, 58 cents.

4 The previous lowest price for this month was 59 cents, made late in July, and it was believed then that this figure would not be broken, at lesst this year. Local traders- were nearly all bears. When corn was booming at the rate of 6 and 7 cents a day some time -ago '-on crop scares wheat followed along leisurely with advances of 1 or possibly 2 cents, but now that corn is going down wheat is a close second, and while corn isa good way from the bottom, wheat has broken tii-ough. A singular feature of the situation is that Enrope has been a steady buyer of American wheat all the week, her purchases aggregating probably 1,500,000 bushels f- gobbled up in New York since Monday by milling concerns. This ought to have sent wheat sky-rocketing, and yet the market has ignored it completely and is groveling at record prices.

Lots of wheat bought by local parties and outsiders for investment on the recent advance has' been coming out on the break and the bears hammer the market vigorously to bring out mofe long stuff, claiming that wheat feeding to cattle and hogs will not absorb more than 25,000,000 bushels, and that the corn crop will be much larger than the government estimate.

Schmous acted distractedly, claiming knew nothing of the awful deed, and from the time of his arrest strenuously denied any knowledge of the crime.

His trial before Judge Slaglo last September resulted in a verdict of first degree murder, wholly upon circumstantial evidence. Attorney Gosser for the defense applied for a new trial and arrest of judgment on the plea of insanity, holding that Schmous dearly loved his little daughters, and that the $58 Insurance on their lives could not possibly have been a determining Influence in their murder.
