Whit* man eatee duckee ami chiclcet, but not hockaway." (Scripps News Association.) LONDON, July M.?The Evening News' Tien Tsin correspondent savi the fight at Ta Tacbe Kiao last week wag one of tlie biggest and most hotly fought battles of the war. It lasted 14 hours and the losses on both sides were heavy. The Russians were com- pletely beaten. Their position, which appeared to be one of immense strength, is now untenable. Such was the testimony of Al Mar- tini, a negro who appeared before Judge Hinkle charged with assaulting Hong Qu, a Chinese restaunintcur. Martini said that the trouble between himself and the chink commenced whan he invited a white woman to eat noodles with him. The Chinaman, with chivalry not usually found in his race, objected to the white woman eating with the black. From that time on Martini's trou- bles commenced. His noodles were uncooked, the meat tough and unsav- ory. The service of the think was poor indeed. When he objected he was informed that whatever Hong chose to set before him was good enough for a "hockaway"?which in Chinese is a negro. The result of it all was angry words, a dare, a blow, and ¥5 and costs. Ed general counsel and law officer of the Panama canal commission, left Washington today en route for the Isthmus.

There will be ques- tions concerning the transfer of sov- ereignty over the canal zone; others will arise from the division of gov- ernmental authority by which the United States Is given absolute au- thority over the middle of the Isth- mus yet which provides for divided jurisdiction at each terminus of the great Inter-oceanic highway; and still other complications ate expected to develop from the operation of the Panrma railroad.

There Is high feeling among the Fall River cotton mill operatives over the general cut In wages which went Into effect today, but the general im- pression is that there will not be a strike at this time. The reduction averages 12 H per cent and affects more than 25,000 operatives employed by nearly 40 corporations. The reduction Is the second made In Fall River within a year, the last having been a cut of 10 per cent., which eventually extended to all the cotton mills of. southern New Eng- land. The reason given by the man- ufacturers for the wage reduction Is that the cotton manufacturing In- dustry Is still In poor shape, and the margin of profit Is exceedingly small on most goods. For nearly four months, In spite of the 10 per cent cut made some tlge ago, the mills have been running on short time. With tho second revision of wages, the mill owners hope to keep their machinery In motion more regularly.

CHINAMAN ANDNEGRO FIGHT DIQOrST MM Of Nl 5 NUT

"Hockaway no eatee diukee. Whit*man eatee duckee ami chiclcet, but not

hockaway." (Scripps News Association.)

LONDON, July M.?The EveningNews' Tien Tsin correspondent savi

the fight at Ta Tacbe Kiao last weekwag one of tlie biggest and most hotlyfought battles of the war. It lasted14 hours and the losses on both sideswere heavy. The Russians were com-pletely beaten. Their position, whichappeared to be one of immensestrength, is now untenable.

Such was the testimony of Al Mar-tini, a negro who appeared beforeJudge Hinkle charged with assaulting

Hong Qu, a Chinese restaunintcur.Martini said that the trouble betweenhimself and the chink commencedwhan he invited a white woman to eat

noodles with him. The Chinaman,

with chivalry not usually found in hisrace, objected to the white womaneating with the black.

From that time on Martini's trou-bles commenced. His noodles were

uncooked, the meat tough and unsav-ory. The service of the think waspoor indeed. When he objected hewas informed that whatever Hongchose to set before him was goodenough for a "hockaway"?which inChinese is a negro. The result of itall was angry words, a dare, a blow,and ¥5 and costs.

OTHER KILLS RABYAND THEN SUICIDESCOTTON MILL

WACE REDUCTIONFALL RIVER, Mass., July 25.?

There Is high feeling among the Fall

River cotton mill operatives over thegeneral cut In wages which went Into

effect today, but the general im-

pression is that there will not be a

strike at this time. The reductionaverages 12 H per cent and affects

more than 25,000 operatives employedby nearly 40 corporations.

The reduction Is the second madeIn Fall River within a year, the lasthaving been a cut of 10 per cent.,

which eventually extended to all the

cotton mills of. southern New Eng-

land. The reason given by the man-ufacturers for the wage reduction Is

that the cotton manufacturing In-dustry Is still In poor shape, and themargin of profit Is exceedingly small

on most goods. For nearly fourmonths, In spite of the 10 per cent

cut made some tlge ago, the mills

have been running on short time.With tho second revision of wages,

the mill owners hope to keep theirmachinery In motion more regularly.
