The Oriental Governments Trying to
Settle the COrean Matter Unaided.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-Advices to
the Associated Press from Yokohama,
state that negotiations between China
and Japan in reference to the COrean
trouble, will shortly be begun at Peking.
Japan will send special ambassador.
She will insist upon a disclaimer of the
attack by Chinese troops, and will pro-
pose joint withdrawal of soldiers from
Corea. A Corean embassy had arrived at
Toxic with a letter of apology from the
1t is said that the French regard the pros
pect Of a disagreement between Japan
and China as an opportunity for an alli-
ance with the former against the
latter. Japan, however, is disposed
to settle its difficulty with China separ-
ately. 1t has been definitely determined
that treaty revision conference will
meet in March. 1t is thought that the
conference will occupy not more than
three weeks.
Gen. F0Ote, United States Minister to
Corea, had an audience with the Emperor
on Feb. II by special desire Of his Majes-
ty, who cordially thanked the General for
his humane and courageous conduct in
protecting a number of Japanese during
the COrean riots. The Empress presented
Mrs. Foote with handsome tea set.

AFGHANIsTAN's BORDER.
The Result of the Anglo Russian I'm.
brOgliO Still in Doubt.

LONDON, March "a st. Peters
burg dispatch TO the Times says that
the Russian Government has sent an
official offer to England to with
draw from the hills bordering on Herat,
but states that it will not retire the troops
from the positions occupied at Heri Rud,
or Penjeh, which Russia claims are es-
sential to an effectual hold on the Turko-
mans. An active seating of the troops
which have been concentrated in Central
Asia is taking place. 1t is reported that
the troops are moving from the Caucasus.
RUSSIA MAssING TROOPS.
Late advices show that there can be no
doubt that Russia is rapidly concentrating
troops IN Central Asia. An active dis
location or breaking I'D of the smaller
scattered and unimportant military posts
is progressing. Additional guns and men
are being sent TO the Central Asian bat
terles, ard troops are moving in from the
Caucasus.
NJ. Lessar has been instructed to re-
main in London another week. Sir Peter
Lumsden has been instructed to withdraw
the Afghan forces from Penieh. III, de
Giers. the Russian Minister of Foreign
Affairs, has offered to withdraw the
Russian troops from Zulficar and Akro-
bat during the deliberations of the frontier
commission, provided Earl Granville ac-
cepts the principles of delimitation pro-
posed through NJ. Lessar, which will
virtually be a concession of the Russian
requirements, as detailed in the recent
St. Petersburg dispatch to the Times. 1t
is probable that these proposals will be
accepted.
1t is reported that Sir Peter Lumeden's
latest dispatches indicate that matters
are in very critical position. The Rus
slams are determined upon a forward pol
icy, and collision is feared.
HOPING FOR PEACE.
PARIS, March 9.-The Russian Artistic
Club gave a concert last evening which
was largely attended by the Russian
residents of Paris. The relations between
Great Britain and Russia were the sub
ject of animated discussion. A majority
of those present expressed delight ut the
diminished tension between the two
countries. The trouble, in their opinion,
was due to the Russian military party.
The general hope was that war might be
averted.
CALCUTTA's OPINION.
CALCUTTA, March 9.-The Afghan from
tier question is the principal topic of dis
cussion here, but no anxiety is expressed
as to the result. All classes are satisfied
with the determined attitude of the Eng
lish Cabinet. There is a remarkable and
reassuring display Of loyalty throughout
the country.
SIR LUMSDEN AT ZURABAD.
TEHERAN, March 9.-Sir Peter Lums-
den, the British Commissioner on the AT
CHAN question, and his surveying party,
have encamped at Zurabad, on Per-
sian territory. Sir Peter sent to Meshad,

amount of supplies. Several members of
his commission have taken quarters in
Meshad.
THE ARMY FROM BAKU.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 9.-The re-
ported project to send au army from Baku
to the Afghan frontier was grossly eXag-
gerated as to the size of the army. The
number proposed is not 30, 900 men, but
$500.

AN AMICABLE ARRANGEMENT.
AN ORANGE COUNTY MANIAC.

Inauguration.

Made Insane by the Excitement of the
Inauguration.
PHILADELPHIA, March AFTER the
passengers on the Washington express
left the train at the Broad street station
were surprised to see a tall, well-dressed
young man of prepossessing appearance
walk TO one Of the doors, step upon the
platform, and then return to his seat in
the car and remain in it. A brakeman
informed him that he was in Phila-
delphia, and that he could go no
further in that train. The man made no
answer, and, upon being accosted
rather sharply, jumped up and threat
ened to throw the brakeman out of
the window. Other station employees ar
rived and tried to put the man off forcibly,
bus he resisted all their efforts and re-
tanned his seat. The train was backed to
siding at Twenty-frst street, where q
police officer, who was summoned, saw
that the man was insane, and sent for two
other officers. The three tried to induce
him to leave the car, but he refused, and
they were compelled to remove him by
force. He struggled fiercelY until he was
locked up in the Twentieth District sta
ton house, where he quieted down.
When asked where he lived and where he
came from he replied: "Orange county,
New York. My name is NJ. |. Winnie:
that's all you need to know" He was
kent in the station house during the
night.
Yesterday morning he appeared ration
al, and said he wanted to 90 home. He
stated that he had been travelling through
the South, and that, after witnessing the
Inauguration Of President Cleveland, he
was on his way home. When taken from
the train he had a small gripsack filled
with sea shells and $56 in money in his
pocket. They were returned to him by
Lieut.. Myers. Winnie walked to the
Broad street station, wien he became
suddenly violent and shouted wildly. He
was again arrested by an officer whom
he tried to knock down. His frantic ef-
forts to escape were only overcome
when SIX policemen carried him back to
the station house. Here two doctors
examined bim and pronounced him in
sane. He was then taken to the Norris
town asylum. Winnie talked about the
inaugural display at Washington with
much enthusiasm. 1t is thought that the
excitement of the occasion so seriously
aggravated previous mental troubles 90
to cause him to become a maniac. Le5-
ters and a diary were found upon him
which indicated that he has a brother
living in Orange county, y. <, ana other
relatives in Florida. The entries 10 nIa
diary show that he had been travelling Tor
several months in the South. HIS reIa-
tiYes have been informed Of bis where
abOuts and condition.

NEW YORK, March 81 re- has been
a remarkable decline IN the value oi tfauc
dollars. This ''eX-coin," for it has no
real value in this country now, except as
so much bullion, has been an object of
widespread speculation for the past two
years. The expectation has been that
Congress would redeem the trade dollar
at par, and a bill for this purpose was
before the last Congress, but the
session ceased with no action taken
upon it. In the belief that the govern
ment would redeem the dollar at par
bullion spectators have been for two
years buying up the coins and boarding
them till Congress should act. At least
TWO well-known Wall street firms have
each held 100000 Of the trade dollars
purchased all the way from 90 to 90 cents.
Before Congress adjourned the market
price of the dollars was 80 cents. Yes
terday Zimmerman e. Forshy purchased

profit can be made by exporting them to
China. The two firms alluded to above

tion.
