THE COREA MASSACRE.
Details OF the Popular Rising and Murder OF the
ROyaI Family-SIaughter Of Japanese.

Details OF the Popular Rising and Murder Of the
ROyal Family-SIaughter Of Japanese.
Late advices from Yokohama, Japan, give
additional details Of the recent popular rising
in Corea and the massacre of the royal family
and others. 1t appears that about five o'clock
in the evening of July % an organized body
of insurgents took possession of the main thor
oughfares in Seoul, the capital of Corea, and
attacked the royal residence and the head
quarters of the japanese Legation. The jap
anese Envoy and Consul escaped, with about
twenty followers, and made their way to the
palace for protection, but they found it already
in possession of the rioters. They then retreated
to Jinsen Port fifteen miles distant, being re-
peatedly assailed on the way. -Four of the
party were killed, three were wounded, and
several are missing The survivors, among
whom were the Envoy and Consul, reached the
British surveying ship in the neighborhood
and sailed for Nagasalli. A japanese man-of-
war was ordered to proceed to Corea to rescue
the imperilled japanese and obtain information
as to the cause of the outbreak, but to avoid
discussion OF dispute. The vessel returned on
August and announced that all the japanese
at Seoul had probably been slaughtered, and
that the capital ,.as in state Of anarchy.
OF the royal inmates of the palace tho King
alone was spared. The Queen was murdered.
His heir and the latter's betrothed, both chill
dren, were killed by poison forcibly admins
tered. Thirteen Ministers of State and other
high dignitaries were slain. The proceedings
are said to have been directed by the ex-
Regent, Tai-ni-Kun, by some pronounced the
Fat lxyp nj Il
He has always been violent opponent of
foreign intercourse. Whether he has assumed
the control of the government is not yet
known At the ports of Fersan and Geusan
there has been no disturbance.
Japan acted with promptness and prudence.
naval and military rendezvous has been
established at Shimonoselli, the nearest port to
COrca. A feet has been despatched to the
scene of disorder and troops have been gathered
to await the development of affairs Repara-
tion must be absolute and unconditional or
war will ensue.
telegram from the Navy Department at
Washington has been received by Admiral
Clitz, commanding the United naval forces in
Asia, announcing that Commodore Shufeldts
treaty with Corea has been rejected, requesting
that ship Of war be sent to Corea, and stating
that Mr.. Young, the United States Envoy to
China, would assume diplomatic control of the
question.
The German treaty with COrea has been
signed, but the attempt to negotiate French
treaty has failed, owing to the French agents
insisting that the missionaries be allowed to
pursue their calling in the Kingdom.

CAPITAL TOPICS.

Warrants for the payment of $10OOOOO0 of
pensions were issued from the Treasury on
Thursday last.
Secretary Folger has returned from his trip
on the revenue cutter Grant and has resumed
his duties at the Treasury Department.
The Census Bureau is now established in
new quarters on Seventh street. Supcrintend-
ent Seaton says the work yet to be done will
keep his present force employed nearly all Of
the current fiscal year The statistics respect
ing manufactures, which the Office is now en-
gagged upon, are nearly completed. The work
on population" with few minor details, is
all finished.
The star-rOute jurors were in at the City Hall
wedding a few days ago. The marshal loaned
the upper iury-TOom to w. H. Jennings and
Annie E. Trembly, Of Fairfax, Va, and pro-
cured the Rev. b. Peyton Brown to make
them man and wife. The room has been
used SO often for marriages of late that it has
come to be styled the Bower Of Bliss" More
than one happy couple have been made still hap
pier on learning that they have been married
Just on the spot where Guiteau took his lunch
during his trial.
A deficiency in the receipt OF ice at the
Treasury Department as compared with the
vouchers of the ice company has been dis
covered. The shortage amounts to 10000
pounds per month and extends through two
years. Official bonds cover the amount over
paid and there viii be no loss TO the Govern
ment.
Congress at its last session very materially
curtailed the perquisites OF the door-kecper of
the House Of Representatives Heretofore it
has been the practice Of the dOorkeeper to sell
the tons of accumulated waste paper and apply
the proceeds to his own benefit. The law now
directs the sale Of such waste material, and
directs that the amounts received thcrelTom
shall be covered into the Treasury, with re-
port to Congress of the amount.

dive to declare loyalty. A Mahomedan high
priest held meeting here, at which several
influential natives were present. The priest
adjured them to remain loyal TO Arab Pacha.
The native Governor has ordered their arrest.
Among the things captured on Friday are
tent, said to be that of Arabi Pacha, and two
standards. During the fighting the Bedouins
occasionally showed much courage, several
hand-to-hand encounters occurring. One man
stood his ground alone, wounded a trooper,
seized his sword, and made two thrusts at an
English officer before he was cut down.
ANOTHER BATTLE AND HEAVY LOSS.
A cable from London, dated August %, says
that General Wolseley's advance was attacked
by Arab Pacha at Kassassin on Monday night,
and after severe fight the Egyptians were de-
feated with heavy loss. The British loss was
eight killed and siXty-one wounded. The
enemy fought well and saved their artillery,
but were unable to withstand the charge of the
British cavalry. The way is now open for Gen
eral Wolseley to Tel-el-Kebir. The Egyptians
are strengthening their lines on the west of
Alexandria, and SOME slight skirmishing took
place near Ramleh yesterday.-At COnstanti-
nOple yesterday the Anglo-Turkish military
convention was signed by Lord DufTerin and
the representative of the Sublime Porte, and
it will be officially promulgated within a few
days

ADVANCE OF THE BRITISH.

A Adispatch to the London Telegraph, dated Au-
gust so, from Ismailia, says: We have now
nearly established our line of communication
with Tel-el-Kebir. A railway along the route
is nearly completed, and several trains have
already been sent forward. Gen. Wolseley and
his entire army are marching to the front
A dispatch from Ismailia says it is believed
that Arab Pacha had brought up his infantry
by train from Kafr- El-Dwar for the attack on
the British at Kassassin lock. The British
artillery fire was most effective and prevented
the enemy from advancing in close order, rs
they apparently first intended. The loose form
alton of the enemy gave an opportunity to the
cavalry. The Life Guards caused fearful havoc
among scattered fugitives. A train of wounded
British is now on its way to Ismailia.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK.

PARTICULARS of the murder of farmer
near Mount Pulaski, H., show conclusively
that il was planned with the most deliberate
purpose and executed with the most fendlsh
determination. The house was ransacked,
$4,000 taken, and the household goods broken
up. Suspicion rests upon a tramping farm hand
who worked for the farmer some months ago,
and who had quarrelcd with him. Mcmahon
was the owner of a splendid farm, where he
dwelt in a quiet and retired way. He had ac-
cumulated large fortune. He was a bachelor,
and did his own housekeeping. His two hired
men-JOhn Carlock, aged 18, and Bob Math-
eny-who were also murdered, were the only
men about the place. Both were quiet and in
dustrious, and, like Mcmahon, much esteemed.
They were last seen stacking wheat. Inc
neighbors, Observing their absence, searched
for them, and finally found all three bodies IN
the rank weeds about the house. McMahons
throat was cut from ear to ear and his head
almost severed from his body, the cash extend
ing clear down to the spinal column. There
was no shape to the battered head, about which
a cloth had been tied. The bodies of Carlock
and MatLeny were covered with gore and their
throats cut as their masters had been. Their
limbs were bound securely with twine, which
was taken from the reaping machine. The men
bad been gagged and blindfolded with cloths.
One of the probable murderers has been ar
rested. The governor has offered a reward of
$500 each for the murderers.

THE BEST EXPONENT OF THE G. a. RI
South Haven tAfich) Messenger.
The NATIONAL TRIBUNE, published at
Washington is certainly the best exponent OF
the interests of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie published in the United States. 1t is an
eight-page weekly paper, well printed, and be-
sides the general news of the day, it contains
invaluable literature for ex-soldiers. 1t is the
recognized organ of the G. A. r., and it is alive
to the interests of that organization, ofwhich 1t
is an able and fearless advocate. Every ex-
soldier should support THE ENAToNALTRIBUNE,
which is only $1.00 year.

ing the 81 per cent. bonds for the new per
cents. The largest single application so far
received is from Philadelphia national bank.
1t is for about s., 100000 of the new bonds. 1t
has been decided to award the priority num-
bers to the applicants whose offers were con-
sidered Saturday before taking up the eases
of packages forwarded after ten o'clock on the
1st instant. 1t will take about week to per-
form this duty, and no more drawings for al
lotment will be made until this is done.
AT Summit, Miss, few days ago, F. Wich-
man was shot and badly wounded by the sons
of DIR. Booth, of the same place. No arrests
were made. The shooting was tho result of
family quarrel.
THE record of the court-martial in the case
of Col. Joseph II. Taylor, assistant adjutant-
general, stationed at Newport, KY, has been
received at the War Department. The case
will go to Judge Advocate General Swain for
review, and will then be submitted to the
President for his action. It is understood that
the court found Colonel Taylor guilty of the
charge Of invoking political influence to secure
the revocation of an order transferring him to
duty on the frontier, and sentenced him to be
reprimanded in general orders. The specific
allegation on which Col Taylor was tried was
that he wrote letter in which he impugned
the motives of the authority which gave the
order for his transfer by. alleging that the
change was made to please an officer junior to
himself Col Corbin), thereby subjecting him
Col. Taylor to inconvenience and expense;
also in giving formal notice that he intended
to use political influence to have the order re-
voked thereby intimating that he would go
over the head of the Secretary of War. 1t is
explained at the War Department that while
officers of the army often ask political influence
to secure favors such as promotion, leave of
absence, and what are known as indulgences,
it is always considered military otfense for an
officer to use such outside influence to secure
the revocation of an order as it is generally
supposed that if there are reasonable grounds
for it they will be duly considefed by the proper
superior officer, to whom such application should
always be addressed.

GARLAND, who shot and killed Addison in
recent duel in Virginia, has been declared mot
guilty" by the jury before whom the case was
tried. Garland had been paying attention to
Miss Hatchett with whom he had a differ
ence, and Addison, who undertook to champion
the lady's quarrel, wrote an insulting letter to
Garland which led to the fatal meeting. The
trial, which took place at Lunenberg c. H., oc-
cupied several days, and attracted more than
ordinary attention. 1t is evident that the days
of the duello in the South have not yet passed
away.

ONE of the most interesting gatherings that
has taken place in this section Of the State for
a long time, says Philadelphia exchange, was
the reunion of the Sharpless family, near
Wallingford Station, Delaware county, few
days ago. Nearly 5000 of the descendants of
John Sharpless, who two hundred years ago
landed within few miles OF the spot where the
reunion was held, were present, and enjoyed
the day in recounting among themselves
"reminiscences of the family. The old man.
sion, which was built by Joseph Sharpless, the
son of John, was thrown open, and throngs
passed through it viewing the halls of their
ancestors. For miles around everything wore
a holiday aspect, and groups of people in the
early morning were seen making their way to
the old homestead At the entrance to the
grounds was an arch of evergreens with the
word Welcome" and on each side were
shields bearing the following: -. S. j., Our
Parents" and 1882, Our Brothers" A num-
Der of heirloOms and relies of the family were
displayed. The merrymakers repaired to the
old rock after the mansion and grounds had
been visited. Here the formal exercises were
held, Nathan Sharpless, of Granville, Chester

A RECENT dispatch from Ottawa, Ont, re-
ports that recent heavy rains have seriously
damaged the crops in that section. Some hay
is still uncut, and considerable quantity of it
was spoiled. good deal was damaged after it
was cut before it could be saved. Many fine
fields of wheat and oats have been completely
ruined Reports from Belleviile say the pros
poets of the hop crop in the neighborhood of
Sophiasburg which is probably the largest hop
growing district in Ontario, are unsatisfactory
The growers seem to be Of the opinion that the
yield, while excellent in quality, will not be
more than half, or even a quarter of what it
was last year.
