In a Bad Plight.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Secretary
Gresham today received three cable
grams from the seat of war in the
Orient. One from Minister DENLY,
| dated today, reads:
"There was naval engagement off
| the north of Korea on the 18th. Five
Chinese and three japanese vessels
are reported destroyed. The fleet is at
Port Arthur"
Another from Minister DENLY, dated
yesterday, reads:
photographic communication be-
tween Peking and the Chinese army
in Korea has been cut off by the Jap.
anese."
A dispatch from Minister Dunn at
Toxic, was as follows:
"TOKIo, Sept. 19.-The following
has been received from the United
States Minister at Seoul: Please ca
BILE the Department that the Chinese
army was totally anDihilated at Ping
Yang.'n
The confirmatory news received to
day by Secretary Gresham of the de
feat of the Chinese on land and sea,
with the further notice that tele-
graphic communication between Pc
king and Korea has been cut off by
the japanese, is taken here as an evil
dence that the Chinese forces are in a
miserable plight. The small remnant
of an army in Korea is cut off from
re- enforcement by sea as a result of
the defeat of the Chinese feet at the
mouth of the Yalu river; they cannot
communicate with their own Govern
ment by wire, and as their escape
from the Korean peninsula by the
northern overland route is prevented
hJvf of 20 fof
by the japanese, their surrender ap-
pears TO be inevitable.
The japanese, therefore, are now in
force on the border and coast of their
enemy, and a transfer of the scene OF
war from Korea to China is looked
for by army officers, unless the move
ment should be prevented by the
early advent of winter. The military
experts believe that as soon as the re-
naming Chinese troops have surren-
dered the Japanese will transport the
main body of their troops by sea from
Ping Yang to the Manchurian coast,
and making another rapid advance on
Mukdeu, the capital of the province,
will soon be in position to organize
a campaign on Peking itself. 1t is
believed here that the Chinese forces
are almost demOraliZed, and that the
only obstacle to the triumphant cam
paign of the japanese, apart from the
inciement weather of Northern China,
is to be looked for in the interference
Of the great powers. There is reason
to believe that the feeling is growing
in Europe that the war bids fair to go
beyond bounds unless some influence
is brought to bear to check it, and some
nations having large interests in China
have taken the alarm already. They
fear the result on their own interests
of so overwhelming a victory by Japan
that must be followed by the domina-

YOKOHAMA. Sept 2.-The revised
treaty between Japan and England
was ratified at Toxic August 25. For
the first time the United States has
failed 10 take advantage of Japan's
desire to deal primarily with the great
Republic in important international
transactions.
The opinion expressed In Japan is,
that negotiations at Washington
might have been concluded long ago
If the State Department had been dis
posed TO act upon Japanese proposals.
AS il is, Great Britain stands ahead in
the enactment of the treaty which the
Asiatic Empire has been urgently
striving for more than twenty years
to secure.
The treaty confers no immediate
advantages upon Japan. At least five
years must elapse before IL goes into
operation, and it is for Japan to say
whether or not the interval shall be
longer, but until 1889 everything must
remain as il is now. The purpose OF
this delay is that Japan shall perfect
her judicial system To an extent war
ranting the abolition OF English law
courts.
All persons concerned in preparing
and negotiating the treaty have been
honored with high marks of consider
alton by the Japanese Government.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mutsu
Munemitsu, has been raised TO the
peerage, with the title or Viseount,
and grant of forty thousand yen,
about $4,000 in gold. AS Minister at
Washington five years ago this official
was well known and very popular liz
the eastern part of the United States.
He negotiated the Mexican treaty
with Japan, memorable as the only
one, previous to the instrument Just
enacted, in which Japan's autonomous
rights were recognized. Viscount

Explorers in III Luck.

LONDON, Sept. 16.-Nr. Wellman,
the leader of the American Arctic
expedition whose plans to explore the
far North were frustra ted by the sink
ing of his vessel, the Ragnwald-J -JarI.
which was crushed by the ice, will
sail from Southampton for New York
on Wednesday next by the steamer
Spree. He will be accom- pa MED bv
the American members of his party.
In the course of an interview TODAY
Mr.. Wellman said the failure of
Lieutenant Peary to reach North
Greenland shows that, like the Well
man expedition, he met unusual diff
culties arising, from the extremely
unfavorable season He warmly de
Tended his expedition against the
charges made of inexperience and
bad outfit. We especially protested
that he had not abandoned Professor
Oyer on Danes Island. The professor.
he added, had 300 pounds of pro-
visions on the island and was there
fore in no danger from suffering from
lack OF food. Professor Oyer had him
self perfectly absolved him from the
charge of abandonment.
In conclusion, Mr. Wellman stated
all the Norwegian members of the ex-
pedition had promised TO accompanv
the next expedition. AS TO Messrs.
French, Mohun and Dodge, truer.
braver or better men cannot be found.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The two
Congressional campaign committees
have advised their respective candi-
dates to use their own judgment in
taking stand upon the silver ques-
ton in the coming campaign. No set
policy upon silver is to be followed
and the silver plank in party plat
forms will be ignored. In this repect
it will be a go-as-you-pieace race for
each candidate. Each man must
make his own terms with his constit-
uency.
The party organizations will make
no effort to dictate a silver doctrine to
the people at this time, but on the
contrary will place themselves in a
receptive attitude to get the opinion
of the country by the time the next
nation meets, SO it happens that di-
verse arguments are being made by
Republican candidates in the same
State, one man advocating silver and
another in an adjOing district taking
more conservative stand. II is the
same case with respect to Democratic
candidates, who are as equally divided
upon this subject.
Feeling that the silver question is to
figure prominently in the campaign
the Republicans in preparing their
hand book have devoted a large
amount of attention to finances.
Every statistic that candidate might
want upon either side of the silver
question is elaborately set forth, so
that the candidate can have no trouble
in supporting his arguments with fig
ures.
The opinion is very general that
there will be considerable discussion
of the silver question in the coming
short session of Congress. Senator
Gray of Delaware thinks that it will
figure very prominently in the debates
of the Senate, although it is not safe
to predict that any action will come
from the talk.

way of trade, trouble is brewing now.
And all this under measure that Mr.
Wilson AYERS was made 10 let our peo-
pie out into the worlds markets. Ii
would puzzle him To discover where we
have made new trail to markets or in
creased the traffic in our favor along
the line of any old one since the passage
of this bill. Instead of widening our
foreign market under the Wilson bill,
as its author claims will happen, we are
losing the trade we had. Under the
reciprocity clause of the Mckinley hill
we had built up a rapidly increasing
exchange with many nations, all of
which is escaping us now. Spain has
already reimposed its former import
duty on American flour, etc, and other
nations are preparing to do likewise.
In this wild Democratic onslaught on
American industrial interests, we lose
not only our own markets, but foreign
markets also.
How infinitely better it were to hold
fast to that we had than to fly to evils
we knew not of We have right here
at home IA market of our own which is
alone nearly equal to all the rest of the
world. This we should not have to
struggle To hold, and besides we were
developing an important foreign trade.
All of which, thanks to such visionary,
impractical theorists as Mr.. Wilson, we
have given up. What criminal folly!
Mr.. Wilson and his fellow Democrats
are ever claiming their full adhesion to
Jacksonianism, but they are as far from
holding the faith of Jackson as a hen
setting on added eggs would he com
pared to one having those impregnated
with vital force.
Andrew Jackson once wrote relevant
to this subject of tariff legislation, at
is time for us to become Americanized
and instead of feeding the paupers and
laborers of Europe, feed our own; else
in short time we become paupers our
selves" But Messrs. Cleveland and
Wilson say Throw down the barriers
and give up our rich heritage to the
paupers and laborers of the old world"
in order, forsooth, that we may more
greatly prosper

Daubed with the Same Stick.

1t would seem that Messrs. Cleveland
and Wilson are receiving credit, to
which they are not fairly entitled, of
opposition to the Sugar trust. These
gentlemen, with Mr. Carlisle, were all
early committed to duty on sugar
Gf differing in form but equal in bur
dem to that finally imposed by the
Senate which they so boldly denounced.
Mr.. Wilson proposed, in the Ways
and Means committee, duties on sugar
which aggregated Az cents per hundred
pounds, about equal to the amount
which was imposed by the trust. 1t is
true that Mr. Wilson did not carry his
proposal before the committee, but he
made the effort all the same and, if he
had been successful, his bill would have
embodied as obnoxious burden on
sugar as that secured finally by ''the
odious monopoly" which he himself
characterized, in his closing speech
pending the final passage of the bill, as
'having the country by the throat"
Mr.. Wilson is receiving credit for his
TRADE against the obnoxious Sugar
trust, while the record shows that he
himself sought at the time of framing
the bill to embody duties on sugar
about equal to those which the Senate
finally secured.
Mr.. Wilson denounces the Senate for
its bargaining and trafficking in aid of
the trust, but he fails to state why he
endeavored to afford to the trust pro.
lection nearly as advantageous as the
Senate gave it. 1t will hardly do for
Mr.. Wilson, in the light of his own
record in the Ways and Means COM
mittee, to attempt to assume the high
moral ground he seems to have taken
in his recent West Virginia speech. 1t
isn't tenable--for him.
In the same category, requiring ex-
PLANTATION, is the letter of Secretary
Carlisle against the Free Sugar bill in
the Senate. He is also on record in
thus aiding the "most odious of all mo-
nopolies" to secure the great advantage
which it finally obtained.
MIR. Cleveland, too, is on record,
directly and by implication, of favoring
the Sugar trust, that is, favoring duties
on sugar, which is identical in fact.
Mr.. Cleveland says in the Wilson letter
that Sugar ought to be considered
proper subject of revenue" This was
said while the bills were pending be-
fore the conference, and was an init
nation in favor of the Senate bill.
1t is well known fact that the mem
bers of the Sugar trust were the largest
contributors to the Cleveland campaign
fund in 1892, and they did it in the dis
tinct knowledge that Mr.. Cleveland
was pledged to favor duties on sugar
in the event of his election. There is
no doubt but Mr.. Cleveland and his
followers have all along favored the
placing of sugar strongly on the duti-
able list. His quarrel with the Senate
was not on the Sugar schedule, but that
they did not put iron ore, coal, etc,
on the free list
oNeither the administration nor Mr..
Wilson are justified, by their own
records, in arraigning too strongly the
wicked Sugar trust, For the trail of
the serpent is over them all"
