Senator Platt declares that the Re-
publican minority will not permit any
taritf legislation during the winter
session of Congress but that all OF the
so-called pop-gnn bills viii remain in
the pigeon-holes where they were
placed before adjournment. He went
further and said that the minority
were not DISPOSED to allow any correc-
ton OF the ergors in the Wilson tariff
bill. This may well be called malig-
nant Repnblieanism, but it would not
be q matter Of much concern what
Senator Plat said OF did not say were
it not for the fact that the leadership
of the Democratic party in the Senate
is in the hands Of a squad Of towards
and traitors. Had the party honest
and determined leaders the three bills
placing coal, iron ore and barbed wire
on the free list would be passed before
the end of the month of December.

COREA IS WITH JAPAN.
The King Throws Off the Chinese
Yok and Declares His
Tndonandonoo
independence.

Yokohama, Sept. G.-Since the day the
King Of Corea came in contact with the
Japanese envoy he has shown every dis
position to cooperate, so far as he was
able, with the movements for Corea's
regeneration. When the Japanese army
returned victorious to Seoul bringing with
them the captured arms and standards,
be sent a deputy to welcome and CON
graduate them. He had appointed a
COMMISSIONS to visit Japan and thank
the Emperor for the promise of peace
and q stable government to his country
and he has formally %renOunced the suzer-
ainty OF China and proclaimed his inten-
ton to. assert his independence and equali-
ty in all future dealings with that ma
ton. Unless Japan fails utterly in the
wal the vassalage of the past will never
be renewed.
An expedition was planned on August Z
for an advance upon Wei Wei, near Che
Foo, where it was supposed q squad was
lying in hiding. The japanese ships
reached their destination at midnight Au-
gust 8. AS they approached signals of
activity were perceived in the dim light.
but it was not believed that many of
the enemy had escaped, nor was it
thought they would wish to avoid q con-
test, being greatly in the majority. An
attack with torpedoes was prepared, but
when daylight came no Chinese vessels

another resort. A few shots were eX-
changed with the forts, but as the move
ment contemplated no engagement with
batteries on shore the Japanese feet re-
turned to the coast OF Corea. A visit
to Port Arthur was debated, but not APP
proved, owing to the fact that the harbor
is passable only through a passage known
to be thickly strewn with torpedoes.
Japan feels deeply the imputation in
Secretary Gresham's message through
the United States minister in Toxic that
they are levying war on a weak and de-
fenseless nation, but expresses the hope
that Americans generally comprehend
that the war is with China and is waged
on the behalf of and not against Corea.
London, Sept. GA dispatch to the
Times from Shanghai today says the
wal operations are making slow progress.
1t is reported that the japanese have
threatened TO withdraw their promise not
to modest Shanghai if the Kiangnan ar
senal here is not closed. This threat is
supposed to be an indirect motive which
may possibly provoke the interference of
Great Britain, as the arsenal is pro-
nounced to be an unimportant establish

INDIANS BURNED TO DEATH.
TW~enty-three Red Persisted in the
Forest Fires in Northeast
crn MinneSOta.

Pokegama, Mimi, Sept. THE BODIES
of twenty-three Chippewa Indians lie up
on the baked sands between here ana
Opstead. a small settlement on the east
ern shores of Lac Mile Laos. They are
scattered over ten miles of country and
will :. all probability prove food for buz-
yards and wolves, as the country where
they died is too far from civilization for
burial ceremonies. Such is the story
brought by a courier, who for three days
and nights has been forcing his way
through the tangled skein of charred logs,
trunks and roots. The Indians left their
reservation two months ago and built Il
hunting lodge along one of the forks of
Shadridge creek. Waucouta was the chief
of the party AL he persisted with his fol-
lowers. The first body found by the cou-
rier was that Of an infant barely a year
old. Then came those Of two squaWS
and five children. They had evidently
turned west when the flames swept
through the forest. A ride of q mile
brought him to a pile of ashes, which
marked the site of the hunting camp.
There was one tepee. the shriveled raw
hide thongs marking the place where it
stood. Around il were the ruins of Il
nall dozen birch-bark shantieS and pro-
trudlng from the ashes were the fused
barrels If rifles and ~shotguns. Then for
live miles the pathway was lined with
charred bodies. The courier counted TWEEN
ty-three.

IRREGULARITIES ALLEGED.
Sensational Charges in a Suit Begun
at Duluth Against the
Consolidated.

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. IA very sensa-
tional suit was begun this afternoon
against the Lake Superior Consolidated
mines, the John d. Rockefeller corpora
ton, in which the sum of 100000 is de-
manded on account of alleged misrepre-
sensations and frauds. The complaint
was filed by Billson, Congdon q Dicken-
son, one of the most noted firms in the
Northwest. The action is brought by
William and John Mckinley of this city
and James Charnley of Chicago to re-
cover damages in the amount stated on
account of fraudulent representations
claimed to have2been made to the plant
ifs by the defendant company in order to
induce plaintiffs to sell their interests IN
the Mckinley mine on the MeSaba range
to the defendant one year ago.
1t is claimed that in order TO induce the
plaintiffs to accept stock of the defendant
company for nearly their entire inter
est in the Mckinley mine it was repre-
sented to them that their properties be-
ing taken into the consolidated company
were taken on a basis of equality of elev-
en- other mines going into the same
corporation. 1t is alleged that numerous
other claims were made, among which
was one that no property was to be pur-
chased by bonds, and that all were to be
on an equitable basis determined by the
ore in sight at the mines.
The plaintiffs claim that by reason of
these and other similar representations
falsely and fraudulently made the plant
ifs sold TO the Consolidated company
properties worth 100000 for money and
stocks worth not to exceed $1S0,000. and
that bonds of some of these companies
then in the hands of receivers and
held by large stockholders in the Consol;-
dated were being put in as payment for
consolidated stock, the bonds being at
that time of very doubtful value. Also
that other Mesaba properties going into
the consolidation were paid for in new
stock at 80 cents ON the dollar while at
the same time the plaintiffs were induced
to take the same stock in payment for
their properties at par. Other claims are
also made regarding the same matters.

STEPS FOR AN ARMISTICE.
China and Japan Undoubtedly Nov
ing for IA Suspension of Hos
tilitieS.

Copenhagen, Sept. S.-A private tele-
gram received here today from Shanghai
seems to confirm the report that ncgoJia-
tions for an armistice between China
and Japan are in progress.
London, Sept. SIN official circles here
it is not believed that the armistice nego-
1iations said to be in progress between
China and Japan refer to anything more
than negotiations of exchange between
the generals commanding the opposing
armies in Corea.
London. Sept. S.-A Hong Kong dis
patch today says that many Europeans
employed in the Chinese customs service
are resigning their positions in order to
enter the Chinese navy. In the latter
service the Europeans will be paid 100
taels per month and in case of death 5000
taels are to be paid to their families.
These amounts are to be guaranteed.
