REFORM
Washington. Sept. 21.
' CONGRESSMAN HOOKER, of
u New York, arrived ia the city
II n today to attend a meeting of tue
vs Republioim congressional com
uiitttee. of which he is o member. He
ib fresh from Now York state nod the
convention which nominated Mr. Mor
ton for governor. He has been tbiongh
n number of the districts in northern
New York, and in consultation with
party leaders in that state, which ren
ders his opinion upon the political
situation valuable.
"1 think it is very doubtful if tho
Democrats will be able to oarry a
single congressional district north of
Harlem Bridge," said Mr. Hooker to
dny. "As to the situation in Now
York city and Brooklyn I am not so
well informed, but we will surely
csrry twenty out of the twenty-four
districts north of Harlem river. There
is a possibility that Lockwood may
save bis district for the Democrats,
bat I would not be surprised to see the
Republicans carry it.
"The Republicans of the state are
united. This was demonstrated at the
recent convention in Saratoga, and I
have never seen a more enthusiastic or
harmonious gathering of Republieans.
On the other hand the Democrats are
disorganized, there is a great deal of
dissatisfaction among them, and there
is no concealing the fact that they are
disheartened at the ontloek before
them. Mr. Flower would have liked
very well to have bad a re-election,
bat be felt that idefeat confronts the
Democratic party, and he would not
risk it.
EFFECTS OF THE TARIFF.
'"The effects of the tariff bill are be
ginning to be fait already in northern
New York. Even at this early date the
farmers are feeling the ruinous compe
tition which the new tariff law brings
with Canadian products. The item of
bay alone is a very considerable one in
northern New York. There has been
a very short hay crop this year, and
accordingly tho farmers should get
a good price, but instead they Lave to
meet the Canadian crop right in the
(Buffalo market, which is the market
for all the rest of New York. Cana
dians have been expecting this and they
saved their hay to rush it iu under the
new law. The farmers are feeling the
effects of the law on other products
and Democratic tariff reform ia coming
home to them with a vengeance.
''The workingmen, of course, are
Buffering also by lack of employment
and by very low' wages when they do
get work. The manufacturers aredf ing
their best to keep up and to give work
to their men, but they are having a
hard struggle. The result of all this
will be, therefore, that the Republicans
will not only largely increase their ma
jority at the coming election, but
that they will oarry many Demoeratio
diatrlcts as well."
At present there are five Democratic
congressman from New York, outside
of Kings, Queens and New York coun
ties. UNITED TYPOTIIETAE.

her life by swallowing a quantity of
carbolio acid.
From the appearance of the man's
lips he also had evidently taken some
of the acid, but not enough to dispateh
him. In bis agony, and probably with
a view to putting an end to his suffer

found beside him, the blades covered
with blood.
The wounds made by the scissors
were dangerously near the jugular vein.

Wasinqton, Sept. 21.
C7PHE Japanese minister here re
II ceived nn official cable msssago
r today from the Tokio govern
U nient confirming the reports
that the Japanese had lost no ships at
the naval battle of Yalu, and briefly
reoltlng the circumstances of the but
tle as given in the earlier unoffioial re
ports. Tbe dispatch places the Chinese loss
at four vessels sunk and one burned,
and says tbe Japaness fleet was com
paratively uninjured. The enthusiasm
among all classes in Japan is stated to
be vory great. The dispatch adds that
tbe Empress of Japan, as ehief pat
roness of tho Red Cross society in that
country, is psrsonnliy engaged daily
with her court ladies in preparing
bandages, liuts, etc., for the wounded
Chinese as well as Japanese engaged
in the recent great battles of Ping
Yang and the Yulu.
Secretary Grusham todav receive! a
brief cable message from United States
Minister Dunn at Tckio, stating that
the Japanese had gained an important
victory in the engagement at the mouth
of tbe Yula river, but giving no de
tails of tbe losses of ships or men.
Shanghai, Sept. 21 A telegram re
ceived bore from Kobe, Japan, today
states the report, emanating from Chin
ese sources, that the Japanese lest throe
warships at the naval battle fought at
the mouth of tbe Yalu rivar is correct.
The names of the vessels lost, however,
are not given.
MISTAKE OF THE CHINESE.
London. Sept. 21 Captain John
Inglis, late naval adviser of Japan,
commenting npou the naval battle
fought betweon China and Japan off
the month of the Yalu river, in an in
terview today, said:
"The first point which is attracting
naval attention is tho great mistake the
Chinese committed in not i following
Captain Maban's fundamental rnlo not
to bug tbe shore, At once after sight
ing tbe Japanese it was Admiral Ting's
business to bring his ships into action,
knowing that if he engaged in a serious
battle there was no fear that the laud
ing of the troops would be interfered
with. The fatal idea of bugging the
shore chiefly accounts for the Chinese
loss.
"It is noteworthy that the two heavy
suns of the Chen yu?n were disabled.
These guns wore placed in barbettes,
olose together en echelon. Yet a single
shot upset the machinery and reduced
tbe warship to the level of a small
cruiser.
"It is also clear that small crnisers ot
high speed are better than the heavy
armored warships. The float which
had the most battleship lost fonr of
them, while tbe flvet which was all
cruisers is reported not to have lost a
vessel."
JAPAN WELL EQUIPPED.
The Chronicle this morning points
ont that the dook-yards of Japau are
far superior to those of China, aud that
therefore her damaged vessels will be
much quicker repaired. This will give
her a distinct advantage in the future.
It is safe to forecast also that the
Uunanes army landed by the trans
ports on the Korean side of the Yalu
river will surrender in a body after a
short and ferooious defense. The
psper adds that it the war continues
at the present rate China will soon be
compelled to ask terms of peace.
The Times this morning, comment
ing on the Jnp.tuese advance on Wlju
and the probability of their going
thenee to Mukdeu, says that the lattur
place would be accepted throughout
the empire as an omeu that the em
peror is unworthy of divine protection,
and that such omens iu days ot disas
trous war are too often fulfilled with
remarkable celerity. As tbe politicians
about the court are perfectly aware of
the consequences that would fellow the
fall of Mukden, it may be assumed
that tbey would yield to almost any
demands rather than to run any seri
ous risk of suoh a oatastropbe.

Cause for Encouragement and Dis
couragement in Dun's
Report.
New York, Sept. 21. R. G. Dun
&Co's. Weekly Rsview of Trade tomorj!
row, will say: "Plenty of material for
encouragement, and also for discour
agement, an be found by those who
seek that and nothinz else. But
business men who want to see tbe
situation exactly as it is find
accounts so far conflicting that it is
difficult to striko a balance. In
those departments of industry aud
trade in which the deferred
business and the demand tor replenish
ment of stocks have not been exhaust
ed, there is obvious improvement, and
in some the business Is not only larger
than last year, bnt larger than two
years ago. In others the exhaustion of
the temporary demand has brought
disappointment. Iu the aggregate,
bueine.'S is about a tenth larger than
last year, but still falls ab iut 2") per
cent, below a fall volume for the
season.
The iron business, after its great in
crease of output last month shows dis
appointing weakness at all eastern an!
central markets, with consumption not
large enough to keep fairly employed
tbe mills in operation. Boss-mar pig
is lower at $11.23 at Pittsburg and the
businoss in most manufactured pro
ducts there aud at Philadelphia is gen
erally done at concessions, though in
structural work and in sheets the de
mand is exoeilent.
In textile fabrics thsre has been n
distinet decrease in trade, as initial
stocks for the next season have been
ordered, and dealers are now waiting
for the rotail trade to give ensourage
nient for further purohxsjs.
Railroad earnings for the first woak
in September were C 4 per cent, smaller
than last year, aud for "the month as far
na reported 4 9 per cent, less than in
18'Jo. and U 7 per cent, less than in 18'J3.
Compared with laat year the loss is in
passenger earnings, which were then
unusually large, aud in freight earn
ings some inoreese appears.
Tbe volume ot douiestia business re
flected in clearings is for the month
9.0 pr oent. larger tiun for tbe same
webks last year, bnt 25 2 per cent, less
than in 1892
