Attack.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA telegram
has been received at the Japanese lega-
ton giving the substance of the formal
representation made by the Japanese
government to the foreign ministers at
Toxic defining its attitude on the COrean
question. The telegram is as follows:
"The King of Corea has appointed his
father, Tai-In-Kun, to have control of
the administration of the government
and to direct the reforms which have
BEEN determined upon. Several days
ago the king summoned the
japanese minister at Seoul to

informed that the reforms in the admin

DIPL0MATEs WITHDRAWN.
Official Relations Between the
Two Hostile Countries
Formally Broken.
JAPS ARE SLAUGHTERED
Battle on Land in Which
Chinese Are the
Victops.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "A telegram
received at the Japanese legation says
that the Chinese government has mott .
fed Japan that the Chinese minister at
Toxic and the consulS throughout
Japan would be Withdrawn on Aug. 3.
In consequence of this action the Japan
csc government has notified the charge
d'atfaireS at Pekin and its consulS
throughout China to withdraw.
The Japanese charge d'affaires here
has asked this government to exercise
its good offices to afford through its
representatives in China all the protec-
ton they can render consistently to
japanese residents during the present
trouble.
No formal statement that state of
war exists between China and Japan
has as yet been communicated TO the
Japanese legation here. 1t is surmised
that if such communication is made to
this government it will come from the
United States minister at Toxic.
The Corean legation officials at this
capital have been trying TO communi-
cate with their government, but with
out avail. The last attempt was via
the Chinese land lines, but the tele-
graph company returned the message
with the statement that it was unde-
livered, for the reason that it was
refused by the Chinese administration,
Oh the ground that it was in code.
AT the request of the Chinese and
Japanese governments. made through
their representatives here, the state
department has instructed United
States Minister Dunn. at Toxic. and
MIR. DENLY, at Pekin, to take under the
protection of the United States the cit-
Zens of China in Japan. and of Japan in
China. This is diStinctiveIy war meas
gre, and although it cannot be learned
at the state department that it has been
regularly notified Of the existence of
war between China and Japan, this
movement on the part of Secretary
Gresham indicates that he has been so
advised, and is proceeding upon that
information.
This is not the first time that the flag
lection to foreign citizens in hostile
countries, for during the Franco rus-
sian war the United States minister at
Paris took under his care the German
residents in that city. The selection of
the United States in this case by both
parties is regarded as belief in our
absolute imDartiality.

Rumored That the Great

Some further changes were announced
by circulars at the Great Northern gen
eral offices yesterday, which were gem
orally but Notifications of generally cir
culated reports on the day previous.
Although there had been 10 rumor as
TO any further extension OF General
Passenger Agent Whitney's powers, ii
was not matter of much surprise
when the following circular Was put
forth:

general passenger and ticket agent, ef-
fective this date. w. w. FINLEY,

circular yesterday, as follows:

c. Ii. Cannon is hereby appointed

Mr.. Cannon's jurisdiction will cover

WATERFOWL Il Pacific. He will have
charge of the distribution OF cars be-
tween divisions and assist the general
superintendent in all matters pertain
ing TO The prompt movement Of equip
menI, live STOCK, perishable and time
freight, etc. By the terms of the crcu-
lar defining Mr.. Canhon'S duties, it
would appear that nearly all the duties
heretofore performed by Z. b. Wake
man, general superintendent or trans
portalion. are transferred TO Mr.. Can
non. There are many who believe that
this does not mean the retirement of
Mir. Wakeman necessarily, but that he
may be assigned other duties. 1t is uG-
derstood that no mere changes of Spe-
cial Importance will be made for NUM-
Der of days.
Among minor matters in connection
with the changes among officials are the
following: ". c. Watrous, who was
chief clerk under Mir. Wakeman, has
been transferred, and will act as chief
clerk under Mir. Cannon. the new super
lntendent OF car service. j. w. Hamil-

THE AWFUL FOREST FIRES
As They Appeared TO Those Who
Saw Them


General Superintendent Scott, of the
Omaha, WHO has been away overseeing
the rebuilding Of bridges on the North
ern division of that line burned out by
recent forest fires, has returned. He
said yesterday that the bridge at Mason
over the White river. which. with the
approaches. is structure about 700 feet
long, would be completed by noon to-
day so that trains could pass over it in
safety. The bridge four miles south of
Washbnrn was completed Yesterday
afternoon so that passenger trains were
enabled to pass over it. This structure,
including approaches, has length of
40 feet. In the fire which de-
str0yed this bridge there was a
freight train and engine demolished by
the flames. Mr.. Scott estimates that the
company lost by these fires and the con-
Sequent diversion OF traffic from $50,
Coo 10 $4,000. He said the forest fires
were an awful spectacle, but believed
all danger was now over. as the wind
had changed i'll its course, and blown
the flames and blazing cinders back
upon the burned district There being
DO further fuel to feed the flames, Mr..
Scott said, the fires must necessarily die
out.

day. Gel. Trumbo is Interested in the
success of the Salt Lake d Les Angeles

Presidents James j. and Samuel Hill,
al the Great Northern. Col. Trumbo is
president of the road. and he already
has the terminals built, though there is
lacking a link of about 100 miles before
the line can be completed. 1t is sur
missed that his conference with the two
railroad presidents here had special
Object in view. California fruit growers
feel that they are unjustly discriminat-
ed against in the matter OF rates. Such
line Us the Salt Lake & Los Angeles
would afford them the relief sought.
This line will connect Los Angeles with
Salt Lake City. Now.the scheme which
is said to be under way, whether prob
able Or Improbable, is simply this: TO
build connecting lines between the
Great Northern and the Salt Lake &
Los Angeles, so that the Great Northern
may gain entrance into the City of the
Latter Day Saints.
