nese version OF the causes which brought
about the present war between China
and japan,
PEKrN, August 81, 1894.
My DEAR FRIEND :-ln the month of
June last riots of rebsllious character
broke out in the southern portion of
Corea. and as that country is tributary
to this country, it sought from US as
sstnnce. Accordingly 1900 troops were
dispatched by the viceroy TO the vicinity
of the trouble, with no other aim but to
restore peace to those unfortunate peo-
Pile. The Japanese government imme-
diately sent large force, took possess
sion of the Corean capital and fortified
themselves in all the important poei-
tions. When the Chinese troops arrived
at VA Shen the rebels dispersed and
pesce was restored. In accordance with
q treaty between the two governments,
the forces OF both countries should
have Immediately Withdrawn after
the riot or rebellion had been
suppressed, and the imperial govern
ment was about to withdraw its troops,
but Japan insisted on permanently sta
toning her military forces in that
country. On an iniimation OF her
Britannia maiesty's miniater that the
withdrawal of the troops OF both would
assist in speedy arrangement, we ex-
pressed our perfect readiness to recall
our troops. The Japanese minister at
Seoul informed our representative there
that he would advise his government to
withdraw its troops, bat Japan would
not listen to reason and arbitration, and
entered upon war.
In the fear that the exact causes of
this unhappy trouble would not have
been properly presented in the AmerI-
can newspapers, write you in the hope
that yuu will be convinced that my gov
ernment has done the utmost to main
tain friendly relations. and that it was
not China that commenced the hostl-
ities. II it is not improper ana not an
unusual practice, would like to have
this letter published in your loading
newspapers, hoping that its publication
may gain for my country the sympathy
OF the great American people.
l remain, yours very truly,

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 11.-At Adrian.
Mich, Governor Mckinley was met by
General Alger, Governor Rich and
others who escorted him to Detroit. A
stop of three hours wss made at Jack
son in order to enable the governor to
address an immense crowd gathered at
the fair grounds. He referred feelingy
to the fact that Jackson was the birth
place of the Republican party which
had done more for the freedom of man
kind and secured more opportunities
for the people than any other political
party whose history had been written
anywhere in the world.
A brief stop was made at Ann Arbor
where the students at the university
and great number of others gave
Governor Mckinley rather boisterous
greeting.
At Detroit there was big crowd at
the depot to cheer and follow him in
sn organized procession to the residence
oil General Alger, where ne will spend
the night. The auditorium tonight WAS
literally packed and Governor McKin-
lev found hie audience to be one of the
most responsive he has ever addressed.
A special train will take the governor
in the morning to Grand Rapids.

DENVER. Oct. lit is alleged that
the three men who attempted to wreck
and rob the Santa Fe passenger train
almost within the limits of the city
early this morning, are escaped convicts
from the county Jail. Between and 8
O'Clock last night they sawed their way
through the iron cell bars at the Jail and
escaped by lowering rope from the
window. Their names are Jim Bartlett,
known on the coast as Whitley"
who il the leader and who
served term in the San Quentin
CAL, penitentiary; Ted Newell and
Frank Murray. After breaking Jail the
men proceeded to loot the town OF Lit
teton, 10 miles from Denver. They en-
tered the general merchandise store OF
j. D. Hill and bound aud gagged the
night clerk. Only few unimportsnt
articles were secured there. They via
tied the postoffice but were frightened
away. Twelve county officers are now
on their track.
At 10 O'Clock tonight the officers were
20 minutes behind than at Sedalia. 1t
ia not likely the trio will be captured to-
night as the country in that neighbor
hood is mountainous. The woold be
highwsymen stole several guns at Lit
tleton and fight may occur, should tAe
authorities overtake them.

nainn in the hands OF the Japanese. II
is reported to the Japanese officers that
10000 Chinese troops occupy the north
bank OF the Yalu river, where they have
completed eight batteries and Gre build
ing more. 1t is generally believed that
the Japanese will be in possession of

The Chinese in Pekin and Tien Tsin

cept formal alliance.
AS result of Admiral Ting's repor {,
dwelling upon the superiority ofJapan's
quick-frng guns, China has concluded
large contracts with Krupp and other
German agents for similar gune.
A correspondent with the Japanese
forces at Win telegraphs under date of
October 10th as follows:
The difficulty experienced in trans
porting our guns and commissary over
land has greatly retarded our advance.
The main portion OF the advance column
reached Yong Chon on October 4th. No
sign OF the enemy was eeen. On the
18th small Chinese force, under 1000,
was etill occupying Wiju, and detach-
ments Of Japanese infantry and cavalry,
supported by light artillery, were cent
to dislodge them. The Chinese
offered slight resistance and the
fed in disorder acroes the Yalu river.
The Chinese loss in killsd and wounded
wss under 100. We do not expect TO
advance further for come days. Recon-
noisances show that the Chinese are in
force on the north bank OF the Yalu
river. We have already located eight
batteries with gums in each. The enc
my are rapidly building new earth works
and hstteriea. Their force appears to
be strong. The next fight Will be se-
rious.

A story is told of lecturer whose stere-
opticon-man one night got something in the
lantern that did not belong there. The
slide represented some insignificant cres-
lures that the professor, in the rapture Of
his lecture, failed to recognize at once.
"These are the-these are the-e-e-these
are the"- he began, in abseDt-minded
hesitancy; but the stereopticOn-man had
discovered that the pictures were not right,
so he pulled them out, while the doctor, thank.
full for the mans thoughtfulness, turned to
the audience and filed in the space with
a few profound remarks. A new picture
slid into place. and, with joyful tone, the
lecturer turned about with his pointing-rod,
saying:
There are"-
Then he looked thunderstruck, hat only
for an instant. His self-possession came to
his aid, and, in an impressive tone, the Leo
turer announced:
And these are some more of the same
sort"
