CHINA AND COREA.
The Agreement Concerning Ministers
of the Latter.


SAN Francisco, Jan. THE steamer
Rio de Janeiro arrived from China and
Japan to-day. The Japan mail states that
it appears that the convention on the sub
iect of the appointment by Corea of Minis
ters to foreign countries has been concluded
between her and China, and it is provided
in the terms of the agreement that the
Corean Minister of State shall consult the
Chinese Minister in Corea before
sending Ministers abroad; that the Corean
Minister abroad shall consult with the
Chinese Minister in that country should he
have occasion to communicate with the
representative of any foreign power in the
same country, and that the Corean Minister
of State shall not allow their ministers
abr ad to take precedence over Chinese
representatives in the same countries. This
settlement of the question Is understood TO
be entirely owing to the support lent by
foreign representatives at Seoul to the
Corean government.

THE CROWN PRINCE.
The Crown Prince has recovered from the
catarrh. Dr. Schmidt. who is visiting him,
is not the Frankfort specialist of that name,
but a Swiss doctor who claims to have dis
covered a new and successful mode of treat
meut. Dr. Virchow's paper on the diagnosis
and prognosiS of cancer does not encourage
the view that the Crown Princes malady is
not cancerous. II ratherproves that all his
symptoms are consistent with cancer, and
that the cicatrizing of the tumors on which
Dr. Mackenzie rests hope occurs frequently
in cancers and does not denote that the
tumors are healing.

swITzERLAND's SOCIALISTS.
The stories in the French press associat-
ing the Zurich Anarchist, Haupt, with the
Berlin secret police are declared to be sheer
fiction. The Zurich Social Denlokrot pub
fishes a list of the names of men who are
alleged to be in the pay of the Berlin police
giving details as to their salaries and the
sphere of their work. The list is partly au-
thentic. The Swiss government advised the
Berlin authorities that Haupt would be
tried publicly, and got a response that
Haupt was no agent of the Berlin police,
and that his trial did not concern any Ger
man authority

AN ANNIVERSARY BANQUET.
The Battle of New Orleans Recalled by
the Manhattan Club


NEW YORK, Jan. THE anniversary of
the battle of New Orleans was celebrated
tonight by banquet by the Manhattan
Club at the Hoffman House. President
Cleveland sent letter of fregret in which he
said: The anniversary of the battle
which illustrates the courage and military
skill of Andrew jackson should be
httlngly celebrated by an association
whose name indicates belief in
the political principles which he steadfastly
maintained. The lesson of his rugged hon
esty and his vigorous insistance upon the
peoples rights cannot in these days be too
often studied and enforced. 1t is especially
encouraging to find business men associated
together for the purpose OF contemplating
these things and advancing such political
interests as seem to their practical judgments
necessary TO the prosperity of the country.
No political theory is valuable unless it
benefits III its application the business Of the
people, and when our business men engage
more generally in political affairs we shall
have safer and better politics.

tlemen were also read: Hon. S. S. Cox,

tary of the Navy Whitney, Hon. A. H.
