is the latest Chinese version of the
sinking of tho troop ship Kow Shung
chnrtcred by China from the China
Merchants' Trading and Steamship
company: When the Kow Shung was
overhauled by the Japanese cruiser
the Utter sent n boat alongside the
transport with aprite crew to convey
hor to Japan. The Japanese boarded
her nnd ordered her commander
Captain Galsworthy an Kngltshinan
to proceed to Japan. The captain re-
fused to oboy this order and tho
Japanese withdrew to report to the
commander of tholr cruiser. Tho lat-
ter then opened fire ou the transport
using tho machine guns mounted In
tho top of tho Japan eke ship. This
lire was so well directed that It soou
cleared tho Kow Sitting's decks. Tho
cruiser then discharged two torpedoes
at the transport sinking her and
drowning nearly all of the 2000 souls
on board.
Colonel von Haunekcn a (Serman
formerly tho viceroy's aldo de camp
and a number of other foreigu oflicers
were among those killed by tho Wro
from tho tops of tho cruiser before
the torpedoes were discharged.
The effect of tho explosion of the
torpedoes is said to have been terrific

At Toklo the conviction Is grow-

The chief i m !u t. Irafilu of the

which stock n.ie.T.s aro hurrying to

Tho scarcity of corn nnd tho destruc-

reasons why the stock-raisers' aro
