JAPAN.
Terrific Explosion of n steamer
One Hundred and Twenty Persons
KiIIed-A Touching Incident.

KiIIed-A Touching Incident.
CHICAGO, Sept. % We have the fol
lowing details of the explosion of the
steamer YeddO, in the haTbOr of Geddo,
Japan.
The death of many was fastened, if
not brought on, by the japanese doc
tors. These men have bitter hatred to-
wards foreign physicians, and do not
wish to see their people treated by them.
These native doctors took off the ban
dages tina. had been put on by foreign
doctors, and then commenced thtir
own treatment upon them. Nearly al
who wire thus dealt with died.
1t is reported that almost all the wound
ed Japanese have died; but as they were
scattered, il is doubtful whether the num-
Der of deaths is actually known. Several
Japanese have told me that including
those killed outright and those who have
since died, the number is over a hundred
and twenty. If such is the case the large
number of deaths must have been caused
by the bad treatment of the japanese
doctors, for all the wounded foreigners
and several Japanese who were entirely
under the treatment of foreign doctors
are doing well, and doubtless willrecover,
although some were severely scalded.
The most pitiable object of all was the
Youngest child of Mr.. Games. 1t is only
three months old OF the whole family,
It alone was spared. Its preservation
seems miraculous. All arOun1 it were
killed. Immediately after the explosion
Mr.. Kinner, one Of the wounded for
eigners, heard it crying and went and took
it m his arms, thus saving it from drown
ing bv the water which was fast rushing
into the wreck. the poor little thing
was uninjured except a slight scald on
each fore arm 1t is now well cared for
10 the hospitable family of DR.. Hepburn,
of Yokohama
Mr.. Csrnes was missionary of the
American Presbyterian Church. During
the late American war he served in a
Pennsylvania cavalry regiment. In a
beautiful spot of the cemetery at YokO-
hama, they all, father, mother and lovely
child, sleep side by side in one grave. A
monument will be erected over them by
the citizens of Yokohama.
Next morning after the accident, the
American Consul at Yeddo, held an in
quest over the bodies of Dir. and Mrs.
Carnes and their child. The verdict was
that they came to their deaths by the eX-
plosion of boiler on the steamer City of
Yeddo, which resulted on account # the
ignorance and carelessness of the .engi-

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 2S.-The
President has rendered the appointment
of Minister of the Court of st. James to
Hon. o. P. Morton, of Indiana, who has
singifed his acceptance thereof.
Washburne and the Germans Of
Paris.
There is the best authority for saying
that there is no truth in the published
statement that Fish explicitly instructed
Washburne that he can do nothing what
ever to mitigate the sufferings of expelled
Germans. Washburne under the Instruc-
tons and permission of the State Depart
ment has afforded relief and mitigated the
suffering of many THOUSAND Germans eK-
PEELED from Paris The limit OF bis eff
forts in that direction has been only his
capacity of physical efforts and labor.
The Radicals i'm Trouble.
The dissatisfaction in the Radical party
ia the South is progressing with rapid
ty which bodies 10 good. The Executive
Congressional Committee despair of quiet
ing the fears of all interested ia having
these 6isageements suspended, because
Of the fact, which becomes more palpable
with every mail they receive from the
South, that the bread-sDd- butter Radicals,
who are contending for the mastery of
the colored population, insist upon pre-
scnting themselves in the front ranks, so
far as the distribution of Office is con-
cerDed, while other Republicans, who
really have substantial interests in the
South, among whom Representative Plat,
the Secretary of the Executive Committee,
may be noted as an example, are trem-
bling because of the mischief these ire
prcssibe bidders for political notoriety are
accomplishing. The representatives of the
Republican party now here, as well as the
President, who has given, in answer to
,heir appeals, letter for use in Missouri,
protesting against division in the party,
do not deny that there is real ground for
apprehension, and at the same time nearly
all admit their inability TO stop the i'm
pending ruin to the party in the States

engaged in court he was suddenly pros

an aploplectic attack, bat which we

New York, Sept. 23.-The Tribune
this morning, says editOrially, that Sena-
tor Oliver P. Morton, OF Indiana was
about a week ago appointed Minister to
England. He promptly accepted the ap-
pointment, but requested that the whole
matter should be kept secret until Gov.
Baker shot Id have time for consideration
and untrammelled action in the appoint
ment of his successor. Senator Morton
left ,he city three days ago to confer with
Gov. Baker on the subject. Sufficient

character. Although now broken in con
stitution by the severity of his labors in
those critical times, he is Intellectually as
vigorous as ever.
