London, July 30.—The Central News has this dispatch from Shanghai': "The Chinese warship Tsao Khan, which was captured by a Japanese warship afl the coast of Round island, is a vessel of an obsolete model and was equipped poorly for lighting. Although completely outmatched by the Japanese cruiser, the troopship offered some resistance and lost fully a hundred men, killed and wounded, before she yielded. She was entirely disabled when the Japanese boarded her. "The troopship Kow-Shung tried to get away as soon as the Japanese warships began their attack, and made only a weak running fight. The Japanese guns swept, her decks and carried off the Chinese boK diers by the score. "The latest estimate of the number aboard her is 1,70<J. Only 40 survived the foundering of the ship. They say that all her oflBceri were killed before she went down. "The announcement that the rest of th Chinese transports arrived safely at Kom and landed their men is confirmed. "On the 27th the Japanese ffisilade heavily thoseWho had lauded on the 20t at Yachan. The Japanese officers hope thus t© prevent the junction of the Chines with the Koreans near Seoul. "Whether they accomplished their object is not known. "No news of the hostilities can be obtained from Pekin. Code messages are refused at thej telegraph offices and no other messages referring to current affairs are accepted. "The outlying battalions of the northern army are concentrating rapidly at Taku, tbo rendezvous from which the regiments are embarked for Korea. "The work of preparing harbor defenses here are progressing rapidly. Torpedoes are being laid in the north channel at the entrance of the Yang-tse-Kiang. "Great quantities of ammunition have been purchase:! by the government and are being collected at the ports for shipmen fc. "The exportation of rice and grain has been prohibited. Trade is paralyzed. The coasting steamers and small craft are afraid to leave the harbors. "While everything looks and sounds like war, the Chinese officials continue to maintain that war has not been declared." The Central News says that in official circles hero there is a strong feeling in favor of mediation on the part of the United States, although few believe that Japan and China would accept arbitration unless under considerable pressure. NOTHING NEW AT WASHINGTON. you lismihq ? mmce^ Killed His Brother. ami was recovering, and Mrs. Dilko MlLLVILLK, X.

Hartfobd, Conn., July 20.—The three Suinan children, who strayed away from their home, in this city, last Thursday afternoon, hare been found and all three are dead. The whole affair is so sad a one, aud fop a while it was so mysterious, that; whole city became interested in the search for the missing little ones. Chief of Police Bill gave orders that all cars about the depot aud the freight yards be thoroughly searched. Polioemen Gray and Manti, who had been searching cars in the yard of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad for about two hours, came to a caboose from which sickening oders came. They burst open the door and the stencil, which had been strong enough before, became almost overwhelming. Keeping at their worit of investigation, the officers traced the smell to the cloeet which the trainmen use as a clothespress, and breaking open the door they found the three little bodies, naked and prejred upon by vermin. 1? reddie, the 4-year-old boy, lay on the hot torn. On him was Raymond, 9 years •Id, and on top of both was Leroy, 7 years old. Under the bodies were the few garments the boys wore when they left home. It was a sickening sight and a sad sequel to the story of their disappearance. There are no suspicions of murder or of foul play. At the autopsy, which was performed by. Dr. H. 8. Fuller, the medical examiner, assisted by Dr. Beach, nothing was found to indicate violence. The condition t>f the lungs indicatad death by suffocation, and the absenc3 of effusion and other marks about the neck precluded the suspicion of strangulation. The theory is that the little fellows ran into the car to hide from a passing policeman Thursday afternoon and that the door of the closet swung to and caught them in with the spring lock. The closet is five feet high and its floor space is 28x15 inches. It is impossible that the little boys could have lived long in such a conlined space, and the doctors think they became unconscious in about 15 minutes and that they did not live more than 50 minutes after the door was locked on them. The day they left, home an older brother had just started for the public bath house to go in swimming. Raymond, the oldest of the three boys who disappeared, asked his mother if he might go too. She gave him permission and told him to run along and overtake his older brother. Instead of doing this ho took his two younger brothers, unknown to his mother, and left the house. Tho elder brother saw nothing of them and did not know that Raymond had been given permission to go with him. It is supposed that tho three boys had taken off their clothes to play going in swimming, as that idea was in their minds when they left home. The car in which they were found stood near the Park river, but, as the banks are walled, it is not thought they intended going into the water. They were found within a stone's throw of tho house of their parents. James Guinan, father of the boys, is a conductor on the New York, New Haven & Hartford road. ANTS TO ECONOMIZE. IS DIRECTED TO THE MAN WHO / There Is Sonic Doubt. Boston, July 30.—Hoarding the state* ment of Mr. Frank Buckley, in New York, to the effect that there was little doubt but that the Jaekson-Corbett light, if arranged, could be pliiled off in Boston, Chairman Itallstram, of th3 board of aldermen, said that such was most decidedly not the case. Cyclone in Massachusetts. PlTTSFiELD, Mass., July 30.—A Cyclone swept through Lauesboro yesterday, cutting a swath twenty rods wide. It damaged fields and orchards and tore up trees by the roots.

Washington*, July 30.-There have been no new developments in tho situation botween China and Japan in this city. The efforts of European governments to secure the consent of tlio belligerent powers to accept mediation by tho United States, so far as can bo learned, have not been attended with success. Neither the Chinese nor tho Japanese legation in this city has received any information with respect tb tho matter, and the impression prevails here, as in Europe, that a compromise is no longer possible. While it is understood that tho good offices of tho United States would be most gladly exercised, no advices have beeu received by tho authorities hero to indicate that China or Japan will invoke them. At the Japanese legation Minister Tateuo said tho only advices ho liad received from his government notified -him of tho fact that communication, between Korea and Japan had been interrupted, and that there was no news to.r jmmunlcato to him. The minister said ho had hoped the difficulties between his country and China might be arbitrated without resort to hostilities, but tho condition of affairs was such that he did not feel ablo to exprees an opinion as to the outcome. A gentleman who is familiar with tho condition of thhigs, as viewed from tho Chi H'se standpoint, said that there was nothing to a:"d to tje reports already publisued, as cjtniug from the Chinese legation.it is impossible to-day to learn any thing direct from the officers of the legation themselves. Secretary Herbert stated last night that the navy department was in receipt of no additional information from tho officers on duty at the Chinese station. The last news that had been received at the department was tlij dispatch from tho commander of the Baltimore announcing the capture of the king of Korea by tho Japanese troops,Y The secretary said the fact that nothing further had been received, was probably due to the disturbed condition of the ordinary channels of communication, the telegraph and cable lines being more or less seriously interrupted. Tlie Evidence Insufficient. SAX AJfTCNio, Tex., Jul^OO.—United States Marshal Ware has received a letter from Secretary of State Gresham stating that the state department had decided that the evidence in the case of Manuel Villareal, committed for extradition on warrants sworn out by the Mexican government charging him with murder, robbery, arson and kidnapping at San Ignacio, Mexico, does not justify the issuance of a warrant of surrender, and the (release of the prisoner from custody is ordered.

IFrice, $1.50, Shoes, Washington, July 30.—Senator Jones, who has had the laboring oar on the tariff bill on the senate side ever since it left the house, is reported as saying this morning that he is confident that an agreement of some sort o:i that,measure will be reached this week. Whether the debate which will then follow will bo brief or indefinitely protracted will depend entirely upon the nature of the report presented by the conferees.Omitting the tariff bill from the calculations as to what may take place, there is every indication that the end of the week will see all of the appropriation bills safely out of the way. Mr. Cockrell, chairman of the sonata committee on appropriations, expects to get the sundry civil bill—that vehicle which carries everything not otherwise provided for—out of the committee room by to-night and have it reported to-morrow morning. lie will call it up at once for consideration. He expects to have the general deficiency bill in such sh'ape that he can follow the sundry civil with it when needed. This will complete the appropriation bills and leave the senate freo to discuss tariff or threaten adjournment if delays are interposed. It may be that the Chinese treaty will get its day- in court, but there does not appear to bo much interest in treaties just now, and this particular treaty seems to j have more active enemies than friends. j House of Representatives. Drifting is the only word that will now accurately describe the condition of affairs in the houso of representatives. All the business which the managers feel it is anywise essential for record purposes to pass at this pession of congress has already bjen disposed of, and they are now simply waiting on the conference committees to give them an opportunity to settle the differences "between the two branches over those measures upon which the house has already passed once. No programme has been arranged for the rest of this week further than that Wednesday will bo devoted to the Mooro- Funston contested election case from Kansas. Moore is a democrat seeking to get Funston's seat, and the majority of the committee has reported in favor of the former. A meeting of the committee ou rules will be held during the day to decide what committees shall have tlio sessions ot today aud to-morrow for tie consideration of business. The Indian and naval committees will in all probability be tho ones favored. The other days in tho weok will be appropriated later if tt shall then be found desirable to continue the policy of parceling out the time. The programme is always subject to interruptions by couferenco reports, and there are six appropriation' bills, besides tho tariff bill, which are likely at any time to come, in and vary the proceedings. \ Can't Afford to Miss These Genuine Bargains.
