A letter from Yokohama, published on an
other page of this paper, gives an interesting
account of the material, social and intellectual
condition of the people of Corea, as observed
by an eminent native japanese man of letters
who visited that country in September last on
a special mission. The picture drawn is not an
attractive one. Faithful views of half-civilized
nations seldom are. But it affords rich ground
for chronological speculation and research, and
suggests to the practical American mind that
this invaded national hermitage may be a
promising work field for missionaries of civili-
zation and commerce.

The Conservatives in London are trying to
make great capital out of alleged dissensiOns Ill
the Liberal Cabinet. What Lord Harrington
personally desires is one thing, and what Mr.
Chamberlain favors, especially in regard to the
extension of the Franchise, is another and yet
II is easy enough to understand that these lead
ers might agree upon bill for the CABINET 10
nresent to Parliament which would be honest
and efficient, although it did not come up to
their ideal of what such measure ought to be.
Leading Liberals in England do not expect to
pass the kind of franchise bill they would best
like. They will be content with fair compro-
mise. Members of the Cabinet, therefore, might
disagree, and yet there might be no divisions or
dissensions in the Cabinet.
When John Koop, a dissipated German, ac-
cused himself few days ago of having killed
the woman whose body was found recently near
Perth Amboy, n. j., it seemed as II 1t was an
unusual case of remOrse forcing murderer to
confess his guilt Put the more his story is ex-
amined the less probable it appears. No one
can positively identify KOop as laborer who
had been seen in the neighborhood OF the al
legged murder, and it is not even certain that
the woman whose body was found was Amanda
Flucb, as the man said. Moreover, when kOop
made his confession he had been on pro-
longed debauch, and hardly seemed to know
what he was about. Now he declares that he
was raving. AS he keeps his mouth tightly
closed and will say nothing except that he
never killed anybody, it is hard to see how he
can be convicted of the crime.
The Congressman who called on the Presi-
dent, yesterday, to urge his interference to save
O'Donnell, the slayer of Carey the informer,
made out poor case in that unfortunate mans
behalf. They asserted that he killed Carey in
self defence, and that he was not the agent of
any secret organization. Now their first propo-
sition was the very issue of the trial and was
contradicted by unimpeachable evidence; and
O'Donnells own conduct after his sentence
went far to disprove their second assertion. 1t
ia possible that the President will see fit to In
terfere In this case, as he did in the case of DR..
hanson; and the result will be the same.
His request, even if he seeks nothing but delay,
win be listened to courteously, and then be
lust as politely and positively refused. 1t

The Lost Cabin Mine Found,

Jack Meyer has discovered the Lost
Cabin mine in Montana which is so i'm.
mensely rich. 1t is located near the head.
waters of the Big Horn river. This is the
mine which three old timers discovered in
early Territorial times. Two of them were
murdered by Indians and the survivor be-
came insane. No one has ever been able
to trace the trail since then and the discov-
cry had passed into Territorial tradition.
At the point where the discovery was made
surface indications show that the lode has
a width Of $50 feet and height Of 60 feet.
Meyer claims to have traced the lode for
twenty five miles, and in places found it
GOO feet wide. 1t is free-milling gold quartz
and every pan shows prospects. Meyer
and his father and uncle from Minnesota
have gone to their claim to develop it.

BURNED LIKE BLAzEs.
Peter G. Miller's Paint and Paper
Establishment Furnishes Food
For Flames.

Between 10 and IL o'clock Saturday
night the alarm of fire was sounded,
caused by the. great volume of smoke dis
covered pouring out from P. G. Miller's
paint, shop and wall paper establishment
on north Main street. The fire boys
were soon on the ground, and though the
fire burned very briskly, owing t. the in
lamable nature of the food given it, sue
ceeded in stopping its progress, and pre-
venting what threatened to be n very Sc
rious spread of the flames.
The building was saved in pretty good
condition, and the greatest damage to
stock was from water, the wall paper be-
ing almost ruined by the soaking it re-
ceived. The fire originated in the real
of the building, and is supposed to have
been caused by spontaneous combustion
of rags soaked with oil. The loss will
reach about $500, it being mostly caused
by water.

PIGMIES AND GIANTS.

Hugh Hastings, of the New York Com
mercidl advertiser, has been interviewed
by The New York Herald on the mex
Presidency. He was dressed in nankeen
and said:
"Look at that ridiculous list of little
pigmies published in the Times. Why,
it's positively humiliating. There isn't a

and boy these fifty years. Bless my heart,
l remember him when he peddled grated
turnips for horse -radish.'
"What!'
"'Yes, sir, exactly that. It's Just 80
years ago, when ! was a lad in an Albany
store. Tilden's father had a kind of
patent herb store in Lebanon. On
Broadway, just below State street JOB

mess ever since. To men who have
known him through life-in the legi-.

the purest bosh.'

he could get it'll"
"'Certainly. He take a red hot-stove.
