TING'S TRAGIC DEATH Inside History of tho Ori ental Crisis. How the Chinese Admiral Ignored a Plausible Temptation To Desert Ills Country and Became a Victim of Its Brutal Customs - Story ot Friendship and Patriotism. Victoria, B. C„ March 18.—The Ca nadian Pacifio steamship Empress of India arrived hero with the following advices from Toklo, Japan; Tho sur render of the Chinese Ileet and of tho remaining foresee of Wel-Hal-Wei con stituted tho most striking scene In the drama of tho war. Several days before the evont Vice-Admiral Ito, commander-in-chief of tho Japanese naval squadron, had addressed a lot tor to Admiral Ting, who held u cor responding position on the Chinese Bide. Tho two men wero Intimate friends, as they had often comu to gether before the breaking out of tho war, and each had been attached to the other by mutually similar quali ties of good-fellowship and profession al zeal. Admiral Ito, thereforo, In ad dressing Admiral Ting by letter while tho fleets commanded by the two ad cnlrals wero waiting to destroy each Other, divested himself entirely of his public capacity and spoke simply as a friend. The gist of tho letter was to advise Admiral Ting to abandon the domed cause and to take rofuge In Japan until tho termination of the war. Naturally, the question of Ad miral Ting's personal safety was kept out of sight. Admiral Ito based his advice solely on patriotic motives. China's disasters, he said, wore duo to Inherent weakness. Thoy were tho outcome of defective systems, corrupt government and blind conservatism. He continued: "It has long boon fated that you Bhould witness results such as aro now before you. Can It bo tho duty of the faithful subjects of the empire, men really solicitous for its welfare, to swim Idly with the tide now sweep ing over the country by tho decree of an ancient fate, and muKing no effort to stem It? A single pillar can not prevent the fall of a great edi fice. By whatever reputation for hon orable dealing tho Japanese soldiers possess In tho eyes of tho world, I vow that I believe that your wisest course Is to como to Japan and wait there till tho fortunes of your country are again in tho ascendant." lteiiiarkablc Circumstances. Admiral Ito did not add to his repu tation by this letter. The ethics It advocates have never boen thoso adopted by bravo und loyal men In any age. Admiral Ting's duty wus In tho real present, not In the hypotheti cal future. He had to serve his coun try, such as It was, and not to wait to serve It such as It might be; to save tho Aeet actually entrusted to his com mand, not to save himself In vague hope of commanding a better Aeet hereafter. He adopted the only digni fied course under tho circumstances he left the letter unnoticed. Strange to Bay, little comment has boen evoked in tho east by this letter. It has, however, a history which is still con cealed from tho general public. Ad miral Ito did not writo It. Ho was, of course, a consenting party and elnco the letter bore hTs signature, ho must bear the responsibility. But tho work of composition and inditing was actually done by one of the foreign military attaches. The language used was English. It Is a curious and sug gestive fact that in this war the Chin ese and Japanese find tho English lan guage the most convenient und acces sible medium of communication. Tho Chinoso admiral, when ho received the letter, had a fine Aeet under his command—a powerful ironclad, seven cruisers, seven gunboats and elevon torpedo boats. The land defences at Wel-Hat-Wel were also Intact. Garri soned by a strong body of troops and excellently planned, they appeared Im pregnable. Tho humiliating defeat of tho Chinese, however, is well known to the world. TliigV Dlgniiiol Surrender. Admiral Ting's case was now des perate. On tho 12th of February he dispatched to Admiral Ito the follow ing letter; "I have received a letter of sugges tion addressed to mo by the officer commanding the united Japanese squadrons but I did not reply because our countries were at war. Now, however, having fought rosolutely, having had my ships sunk and my men doclmuted, I am ready to give up the contest and ask for a cessation of hostilities In order to save the lives Of my people. I will surrender to the Japaneso ships of war now in Wei- Ilal-Wel harbor together with Liu Kung Island forte and armament pro vided my request Is oomplled with, namely, that tho lives of all persons connected with the army and navy, Chinese and foreign, bo uninjured and that they be allowed to return to their homes. If this is acceded to the com mander-in-chief of the British naval squadron will become guarantor." Admiral Ito accepted tho proposed terms. lie dispensed, however, with the foreign guarantoo offered by Ad miral Ting. In acknowledging tho dis patch of surrender Ito sent to his old friend a fow cases of champagne, claret, etc. But Ting would accept noth ing. His mind was set on other things. Tragi o Deaths. Immediately after this the stout old sailor retired to his cabin and poisoned himself with opium. His example was followed by tho second officer in com mand, Commodore Liu, and by tho officer commanding tho Liu Kung gar rison, General Chang. These three men had done their duty bravely, but know that nothing excuses failure where Chinese Judges are on tho bench. To have returned homo would have been to court certain disgrace and decapitation and to Involve their families in their fate. By dying as thoy did. they saved their wives and children and their own honor. Ad miral Ito restored one of the captured men-of-war In order that the bodies of the three officers might be carried home In due state and as tho vessel 6teamed out of Wel-Hal-Wel every Japanese ship manned Its yards and fired u salute to the memory of China's Wavpcl eoldlerai tmtsviTi&s. fihelbyvillo, Terni..

Fiendish Sohorao To Broed Disease Among Prisoners and Let Thom Die from Neglect and Starvation. Charges of Soditlou Fabricated as ICxcu.se for Persecution. New York, March 13.—The Independ ent speaks as follows of the atrocities of the Turks toward the Armenians: "From all reports It appears that tbo investigating Commission In eastern Turkey are discovering that tho situa tion Is and has been much worse than the government has been disposed to acknowledge. Meanwhile reports con tinue to coma in from other sections of the country of most brutal treatment by Turkish oAlcers. In the north where the Derslm Kurds dominate tho whole region, there seems to have been spec ial zeal In searching for proofs of sedi tion among the Armenians. In two vil- . lages papers were found stating that a certain order for arms had been Ailed and the arms forwarded. But thoro were no weapons of any kind to bo found among the Christians, surround ed by armed Kurds and soldiers. Sub sequently a man confessed that he himself had forgud tho papers. Not withstanding this, lifty people, thirty from one village, were Imprisoned, of whom nlnteen were subsequently re leased, Ave dlod and 27, at the last ac count, were still under arrest. Four teen of these had been at work in a re mote part of the country, but had boen brought back there because their forged names wero upon one of the letters. Tho prison was a stable which had been used by the cavalry. A quantity of wet sand was brought in and put upon the ground already wet and covered with boards. There were only two small windows and soon typhus fever broke out among tho men. A physician was sent for whose Arst effort was to Iso late tho sick. In this ho fallod, al though there was a room that could easily have been securod. Sick and well wero all kept together. Three of the prisoners had government rations, con sisting of a small loaf of broad dally. The rest had to caro for themselves. When lime was desired, to be used as a disinfectant, it was refused on tho ground that there was no money to pay for it It would coat 20 cents a day. Not a mill could bo had to secure suitable food for sick, and, In some cases, tho doctor gavo monoy from his own pocket for tho purpose. To many It looked as If the government wished these people to die as the easiest way to dispose of thom. Everywhere throughout Asia Minor the Christiana are in constant fear of the Turks, who are being stirred up by their priests to provide themselves with arms In ! ardor to be prepared for any emergency, j Everywhere the prisons are crowded with political prisoners, most, If not , all, absolutely Innocent of any seditious ' intentions. In Constantinople itself wo are glad to learn that matters are more quiet. The note frum the foreign am bassadors demanding better police su pervision seems to huvo had some ef fect." Cut In Wages. Pittsburg, March 13.—Employes of tho Pennsylvania railroad shops and the transfer oAlcers have received notice of a reduction in wages, to go Into effect Monday next. It la also assorted that after that date all employes must pay faro while going to aud from work, all passes having been recalled. The re duction has caused somo excitement among tho Ave hundred men affected and there Is some talk of a strike. Tho reason for the reduction and the taking away of free transportation has not yet boen ascertained. It Is reported that In some Instances the wago re duction amounts to a forty per cent cut. Fatal Purities. Indianapolis, Ind., March 13.—As a ro sult of the row which disgraced tho closing session of tho legislature last midnight, Myron D.

An American Passenger Steamship Chased and Fired on Without Ap parent Justification—Seorotary of State Oreshatn Notified and Intor national Complications May Arise. Now York, March 13.—The American mull steamship Alllanca was fired up on March 8 by a Spanish gunboat off the eastern shore of Cuba. Seoretary Gresham has been formality notified of the circumstances and the affair may lead to serious complications. Tho story told by the Allianca's officers Is that at daylight last Friday morn ing about 0:30 o'clock, while going through the Windward passage from the Caribbean sea to tho Atlantic, a ship was seen coming out from under the land of Cape Maysl, the eastern point of Cuba. The stranger laid her courso with the evident object of in tercepting the Alllanca, and at 7 o'clock she hoisted the orange and crimson colors which, taken with her build and general appearance, left no doubt In the minds of those aboard the Alllanca that she was a Spanish man-of-war. No sooner were the gun boat's colors seen at her mlzzen peak than Captain Crossinan of the Alll anca ordered the stars and stripes to be hoisted on the jack staff ovor the taffrail and dipped three times in sulfite. The marine courtesy was returned In kind by the warship and tho Allianca's ensign was unbent from its halliards and stowed away. Hardly had this been accomplished than tho Spaniard again displayed his colors, and, as a mark of extra politeness Captain Grossman ordered the Alli anca's flag to be run up and dipped again, and then left flying. Again was the salute acknowledged, and then to the utter amazement of those aboard the Amorican steamer, a blank shot was flred from one of tho war vessel's forward port guns. The shot was probably meant as an invitation to the Alllanca to heave to, but Cap tain Crossman had no Intention of obeying tho summons. Ho remarked to Second Officer Itussell, who was on duty on the bridge, "Tho Spaniard seems to bo firing a shot," and thon calmly kept to his courso. Soon another blank shot was flred, which the captain greeted by saying, "All right; let him shoot to h—ll." Shooting In Earnest. A third shot was flred,. but this time It was shot in earnest. It was a solid shot and not a harmless blank cartridge with which tho gunboat next charged her bow port rlflo, and tfie yawed from her course that the gun might be aimed at the Yankee merchantman. Tho course of tho shot could bo seen whore It rlcoohetod along the water boforo Anally going to the bottom, a full quarter of a mile short of its mark. Still Captain Crossman kept his course and waited for tho gunboat to overtake him, if it could. The black smoke began to pour from tho gunboat's funnel and the water around her bow to heap up in away that showed that hor Arcs were being vigorously stoked and steam forced up to its big heat limit. The gunboat flred again, ten mlnutos later, and still again after another equal inter val of tlmo. But observation through tho glass showed that she was grad ually falling astern, and aftor a chase lasting for twenty-five miles she gave it up and laid away on hor courso. Captain Crossman was very Indignant over the occurrence. He Hald: "We wero from six to eight miles off shore when tho occurrence took place, and not. In Spanish Jurisdiction at all. We wore to the southward of Cuba when we first sighted the war ship and far away from Guantanamo, whero I understand they have boon having trouble in that country. In consequence of this I took particular pains to keep off my ordinary course. 1 usually pass within a mile of Cape Mays!, but on this trip I was from four and a half to five miles off shore, and therefore outside the Spanish Jur isdiction, as I knew that a gunboat was patrolling those waters. I could not seo any reason why he could stop mo on the high sea. If It had been one of our men-of-war I might have stopped, as he might have wanted to send some mall, of I would have stopped if he had been in distress— always. But if he wanted to talk with powder and shot, he'd haro to catch us first. "If I had boon within one marino league of shore, I would have stopped my ship; but I wasn't, and he had no right to stop mo. Wo wore going at our usual speed of thirteen knots, when we met the warship, and we kept it up. Although he flred up, he couldn't make more than about eleven and a half knots, and we slowly dropped him astern. I suppose he wanted to show the authority and prestige of a warship, but, time is valuable, in this business, and I have none to waste on gunboats. Besides, anyone with half the eye of a seaman, could see that this was an ordinary passenger steamer with awnings spread fore and aft, just going about her business. He set no signals till we were so far away we couldn't read them. It may be that the ship was a new one on that station. One thing that makes it look that way was that the ship was painted black, and her bottom seemed very clean. They al ways paint their ships on that station white. But he could easily have seen that this was not the kind of ship for a filibusterer." Captain Crossman Is the senior com mander of tho Columbian line, and commodore of the fleet. Elbe Rescuers Rewarded. London, March 13.—The mayor of Lowestoft has publicly presented to the crew of tho fißhing boat WUdfiower which picked up the survivors of the steamer Elbe, tho sum of £7ss.

Tho crew were also presented with a pho tograph of tho surviving officers or the Elbe, which was sent with a letter expressing the gratitude of the North German Lloyd company. One hundred pounds will bo privately presented to the crew. MtAIIS NEUBURGER'S BARGAINS 13argai 11 Emporium. ALL WINTER GOODS MUST GO REGARDLESS OF COST.
