Korean Minister Asks Passage Home

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. 1894. I'VE Sung
500, the Korean Minister, and Jarng
Bong Whan, Secretary of Legation, left
Washington this morning at 1920 o'clock
on the Pennsylvania Limited for Chicago
on their way home. They will leave San
Francisco On the 28th inst, and expect
to reach Yokohama about the middle
of September. As the regular lines OF
commerce between Japan and Korea are
Interrupted, the Minister, yestrday, ap-
piled to Secretary Gresham for permis-
sion to go aboard an American warship
at some convenient Japanese port and
that Instructions be sent to Commodore
Carpenter to have him and the Seere-
tary landed on Korean soil The State
and Navy Departments have the mat
tie 1under their consideration. and it is
likely that the Koreans will be taken
aboard the Concord, Petrol or Mono
cacy at Nagasaki and landed at Chem
Ilpo.
These vessels will probably make fire.

arising is that of taking a foreign rep

Coreans can expect safe transportation
from neither the Japanese nor Chinese
Governments, upon which Coreans are
willing to place any dependence. 1t is
thought that neither the Japanese nor

as the presence of Ye Sung 500 in Seoul
is earnestly desired by the King, who is

wHIsKEY MEMS FINANoIERING. G.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Aug. 81, 1S94.-Shrewd fnan-
ciers in this city give it as their opinion that
the Whiskey Trust has secured the Sc, 100000
loan to take their goods out of bond This
opinion, when taken in connection with a
late ruling of the Commissioner of Inter nal
Revenue, which allows goods in bonds to be
gauged, after which the stamps can be pur-
chased for each package, which releases the
same. Heretofore the stamps had to he put
on each separate package and vanished be-
fore they were regarded as out of bond.
The fact that fifty gaugers are here ready
to re-gauge all the goods in bond at few
hours notice also gives color to the rumor
that the trust has secured the loan in ques-
ton. It is limited that as soon as the stock
goes down ten cents the loan will be an
nounced

if set, 80 per cent; if uncut. 10 per cent.
Diamonds would come under this classi-
tication had they not been designated by
name in the free list. 1t came about in
this way:-The House bill free list read
"Glaziers and engrayers' diamonds, not
set" etc. The Senate struck out the
word GLACIERS so as to insert min
ers" before it.
In doing so they punctuated the par
agraph SO that it now reads s:-"Diamonds;
miners, glaciers and engrayers' dia-
monds, not set. etc. The use of the semi
colon instead of the colon is held by ex-
perts to indicate that diamonds them
selves as a class, not set, in addition to
those for use in certain trades, as was
intended. are admitted free. 1t is said
that some of the largest importers of
precious stones in New York, aware of
this error. have ordered large invoices
of diamonds before the error can be cor
rected.
COMMA COST HALF A MILLION.
In a communication sent to Congress
some years ago, it was shown that the
insertion of a comma instead of a hyphen
in a tariff bill cost the Government al
most half million of dollars. The tariff
act of June 6, 1872, contained in the free
list paragraph reading" Fruit plants,
tropical and semi-tropical, for the pur-
pose of propagation or cultivation" In
stead of the comma after the word
fruit" there should have been hyphen,
the articles intended to be admitted free
being fruit-plants. The error was cor
rected by joint resolution of May 8,
sands of dollars worth of tropical fruits
were brought in absolutely free of duty.
A serious error in the Mckinley act
was corrected in like manner, the mis-
take in this case being the displacement
of parenthesis. The paragraph as it
appeared in the law read:-"Cables, cor
dage, and twine, Except binding twine
composed in whole or in part of istle, or
Tampico fibre, sisal grass or SUNNI one
and one half cents per pound.' The
only words that should have been en-
closed in parenthesis were except twine''
which made a very material change in
the construction of the paragraph. The
correction was made February 18th, 1881,
the law, however, having been in force
since October 1st 1890.
Another error was found, but was
never corrected. The duty on chocolate
in the Mckinley act read as follows:-
Chocolate. (other than chocolate con-
fectionery and chocolate commercially
known as sweetened chocolate), 2 cents
per pound The House passed joint
resolution. May 2, 1892. in which the po-
sition of the parentheses were changed
so as to include only the words, "other
than chocolate confectionery. The SEN
ate Finance Committee, however, thought
the error of no Importance and declined
to report the resolution and it was never
passed by the Senate.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. q, 1884,
The Carders and Spinners' Executive
Committees held meetings last night, and
there is every indication of strike on
the part of the unions represented. un-
less change is made in their inten-
tions before Wednesday morning. AT the
carders' meeting it was reported that the
Kerr thread mills proposed Offering a
compromise on wages in defiance of the
proposed understanding the operatives
had with the mill authorities a few
days ago. In the case of the Globe Yarn
ard Sanford Spinning Companies, it was
reported that they had violated the
agreement made with their spinners and
carders, and that notices had been post
ed ordering a cut down to go into eff

At Granite Mill No. it was said the
piecers had left work because they were
not to be paid more than S585 per week.

spinners say they were working in the

THE LOSS OF THE KoW sHING.
Survivors All Contradict the Japanese
Official Version.
By Cable to the United Press.

ioD CttDt6 70 tne CflIeI ETeSS.
LONDON, Aug. q, 1694.-A despatch from
Shanghai to the ''Times" says that survivors
of the Chinese transport Kow Shing agree
in disproving the japanese official version of
the sinking of that vessel. The statements
made by these persons show that the Kow
Shing was without an escort and that the
attack made upon her by the japanese war
ship Naniwa was unprovoked and not in
any respect connected with a naval engage
ment The fact is now established that the
commander of the Naniwa ordered his men
to fire upon the Chinese who were struggling
ifthe water after the Kow Shing sank, and
there is indisputable evidence that large
number were killed in that way 1t is
further learned that the French gunboat
Lion, the German gunboat Hits and the
British gunboat Porpoise saved 240 of the
drowning Chinese, while the Naniwa did not
rescue single one All of the foreign re-
presentatiTes in China regard the treatment
of the Chinese soldiers who were on board
the Kow Shing as inhuman and have so
represented the affair to their respective
governments.
Admiral Fremantle, commander of the
British squadron, is collecting detailed
evidence concerning the sinking of the Kow
Shing with the objectSof transmitting it to
the Admiralty Office.

NO COPPER PLATED SHIPS.
The Electric Process Would BE
Rather Destructive Than Helpful.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 81, 1894. There is no
truth in the statement that the United States
will permit any of the new steel cruisers to
be electroplated with copper in order to
render the vessels bottoms less liable to foul
ing. The patented process spoken of was
thoroughly examined by naval constructors
some time ago and condemned in an official
report to the Secretary of the Navy. The
report declares that instead of improving
the condition of vessel so treated the treat
ment would be positively destructive, as the
moment the thin skin of copper was broken
as it certainly would be by contact with any
obstruction, galvanic action between the
copper and steel plating would ensue and
the steel would be rapidly destroyed BY the
action of salt water. Constructor Hichboln
is supported by the naval experts of all
maritime countries in declaring that the
only practical method of saving steel ships
from corrosion and keeping them clean is by
sheating with wood and fastening copper to
this sheathing taking care that no galvanic
action between the two metals can be
brought about.

WHERE MAND0LINs ARE MADE.

Formerly all the mandolins used in this
country were imported from Germany and
Italy; now nearly all that are used here
and great many are used, are made in this
country. In the past year and a half or
two years the mandolin has become very
popular, and its popularity shows no signs
of diminishing. The demand for mandolins
comes from all over the country, and it is SO

now used throughout the land, and they are
also exported to all Spanish-American
countries.
