from the Orient.
A COrean Island Seized by the

Farmers and Merchants Elected to

Forty-Nine People Drowned at the
Launching of a Vessel at
Osaka.
Associated Press Dispatches. |

SAN Francisco, July 9.-The steam
ship Gaelic arrived this morning, twenty
five days from Hong Kong and fourteen
days from Yokohama. The Japan Mail
states that rumor was prevalent that
Russia had seized an island off the coast
OF Corea, and that II. M. ships Leander
and Severn were under orders to keep
up steam and be ready to proceed to sea
at a moments notice if required.
The steamship Taising, from Hong
Kong for Shanghai, which went
ashore at Swatow June 9th, was gotten
off and repaired, and was expected at
Hong Kong June 18th.
The first election for the house of
peers under the new Japanese constitu-
ton took place June 23d, some forty
four members being returned. Twenty
two OF these are farmers by occupation !;
fifteen are merchants, and only one a
noble.
At Osaka, Japan, fifty-nine people
were drowned June 18th, during the
launching of a new sailing vessel. The
occasion excited considerable interest,
and about two hundred and fifty people
crowded on board the boat. The owner,
Mr.. Kino, however, became apprehen-
sive, and ordered one hundred Of them
ashore. When the launch commenced
it was ebb tide, and as the ropes used in
securing were too short, the vessel
keeled over. The people on board i'm
mediately rushed to the other side,
which had the effect of turning the ves-
sci completely over, and those on board
were precipitated into the water. A ter
rible scene ensued. Those on shore rem
dered every assistance possible, but their
efforts were generally unavailing. Fifty
five bodies have been recovered. Four
persons are still missing. About twenty
persons were more or less injured. The
vessel was found to have had her bottom
badly damaged.
The Japan Gazette states that the
United States ship Palos left Nagasaki
suddenly June 18th for Ninsen, Corea,
and that it was probable that the United
States ship Omaha would go on to Corea
from Kobe,

Another Veto.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The president
today returned to the house without ap-
proval the bill extending payment to
purchasers of land of the Omaha tribe
of Indians, in Nebraska. The president
in his veto says: "There is no objection
that know Of, either on the part of the
United States or the Indians, to the ex-
tension of unpaid installments due from
purchasers. This relief is probably due
to the purchasers" The president,
however, objects to the provision ''that
all the lands, payment for which is ex-
tended, shall be subject to taxation by
the state of Nebraska, as if fully paid for
and patents issued" The president is
of the opinion that the title of the
United States and the interest of the
Indians in the lands should not be sub
jected to sale for the delinquency of
purchasers in paying tax assessments.

sUNDRY APPROPRIATIONS.
What the Bill Reported to the Senate
Provides for.


WASHINGTON, July 9.-The sundry
civil bill as reported to the senate today
byche appropriation committee, carries
an appropriation of S31, ,241 $50, an in
crease of So, ,181 ,O60 over the original
bill reported; $6,552,172 less than the
estimates, and 1914 1888 more than the
bill of last year. The most important fea-
ture of the work OF the senate committee
on this bill is the elimination of the ap-
preparation OF $777, 800 for irrigation
surveys. This provision was vigorously
attacked by number Of western sena-
tors, and they succeeded in defending it
in the committee. Their opposition was
based largely upon the ground that its
effect would be to reserve from the pub
lie domain vast amount OF public land
which should be open to settlement.

People Think.

A stupsndous Piece Of Folly, Most Of the
People Think.
LONDON, Sept 1.-THE arrest Of the Irish
leaders yesterday fills . conspicuous place
in the newspapers throughout the United
Kingdom this morning. Various explana-
tons are surmised to account for Balfour's
sudden stroke. The commonest on the
part of the Liberal press is that his object
was to prevent Dillon and o Brien going to
America to arouse sympathy and solicit
aid The Conservatives, however, scout
the idea that Ralfour could have acted from
such motive. and they see in his present
policy laudable effort to prevent the re-
currence of disorder in Ireland. On the
whole, one gets an impression that the
predominant public opinion IL so far ex.
tremely doubtful of the wisdom or ex-
pediency of the governments course. The
NeWs says:
Balfour has met IreIand's famine appeal
after his fashion. and has committed an act of
stupendous folly We are slow to believe him
stupid enough to desire 10 prevent the mission
OF Dillon and O'Brien TO America. because
Others are going in their stead. and will meet
with . splendid reception. 1t 10 difficult, in
deed. to assign any rational motive.
The ChsonicIs says:
The Parnellite faunts regarding Balfour's in
oiuefeuco nave NJ last ureWu THIS badger. He
probably intended to avert disorder in Ireland,
for IL 10 unlikely that he wanted to prevent
Dillon and OBrien from going and so send
Paruell and others to America
The Times says:
Tho resolutc action OF the government will be
eagerly welcomed BY all clear headed friends of
civi1 order.
The SANFORD says:
The coupe was admirably managed ana pre-
vented the arrestees from exercising their we'll
known skin at opportune disappearances.
DUBLIN. Sept. Ia.-Tne Fyeeman's Jour.
aal, Nationalist says:
II the governments object was to stay the
visit of Dillon aud O'Brien to America, the ar
rcsts are . shameful confession OF weakness and
discomnture.
Further on, Balfour's policy is character
ised as "a piece of imbeciiity" which will
give to the plan OF campaign moet invig-
Grating and celebrating stimulus.
The Dublin Express. Independent Con-
sentative, says:
1t 10 an imperative necessity to secure relief
from the tyranny now exercised by the tenants.

CHEHALIs, Sept. l9-The political pot
has been simmeriug all the week, but the
kind OF stew it will turn ont will only be
proved when the seventy odd delegates sit
down at the convention table tomorrow.
In the Republic ranks the meat is
minced up pretty fine. Centralia is divided.
n. s. Buckner and Attorney Dysart are
working for representative honors, with
Buckner very much in the lead, while G.
B. Reynolds is spoken of as dark horse.
In the south end OF the county four or five
candidates are entered for the race T.. P.
Mcclure. of Winlock. is warmly contest
ing S. G. Herren's possible chances, while
Ed Carpenter, of Toledo, and L. A. Davis,
of Big Bottom, are by no means unworthy
opponents.

clerk vet heard from, D. w. Cameron. the
present incumbent. Her candidate for
sheriff, F. A. Degeler. who seeks reappoint-
ment has but one opponent. J. A. Taylor,
from Union precinct. The present as
SCISSOR, 4. B. Moore is also up for renom-
ination. He has given such general salts
faction that he will probably get there. He
has but one opponent, Thomas Buchanan,
OF Boisport, rs yet mentioned. Charles
Gilchrist, ex-representative, is talked of in
Centralia for treasurer, and it is under
stood that they also have candidate for
surveyor.
The only offices Chehalis expects are the
prosecuting attorney and the mayor. w.
7. Reynolds will probably be re-nominated
for attorney and F. Melvy for surveyor.
Both have proved themselves fully equal to
the ofhce during the past term. d. B. Rees,
OF Centralia. is possible candidate for au.
ditor, although Probate Judge Ashmore,
