may be needed.
By article it is provided that the
treaty shall terminate as soon as a
treaty of peace shall have been con-
ciuded by Japan with China.
Mr.. Kurine, the Japanese minister,
talked to an Associated Press reporter
today about the treaty between Japan
and Corea.
I'VE have Nothing but the ans
nouncement of the treaty." said he.
But my inference from its terms is
that it will prove highly advantageous
to Corea. There has existed there uns
der Chinese auspices the most corrupt
system of government known. The
constant intrigues of China there have
been threat to the peace Of the east
The Japan government has decided to
settle this question only for the peace
of the east. 1t has oeen entirely with
out expectation of territorial aggran-
dizement or exercise of suzerainty over
Corea.
with the assurance of autonomy in
Corea, which is the design of this
treaty, there will be an opportunity
for improvement in her system of gov
eminent and international administra-
tion, Already she has advanced from
the conditions of the rule of an indi
vidual Influence by China. The change
was made under advice Of the Japan
ese representative at Seoul"
Mr. Kurine said he did not think
the treaty could be called a step
towards a peaceful settlement with
China as China was tenacious on SEN
timental grounds OF her claim of SOW
ereignty. China might, he said, have
put an end to the difficulty before now
by consenting to some improvement
in Corean affairs The Improvement
ia government institutions in Corea
would, he admitted, require foreign
advisers and coUusell0Ts and they
might be Japanese and they might be
other foreigners. He did not admit
that the termination OF the present
treaty by making peace with China
could open the way for a revival OF the
Japanese or other claim of suzerainty,
which, be said, the Japanese had eX~
pressly relinquished, and would put
herself in as cad position as China
by renewing. CCrea. under the inade-
quate government that China gives

A Resolution With Reference to the States
Maintenance Of the Same,

Maintenance Of the Same,
At recent meeting of the John b.
Hood Camp, Confederate veterans,
the following report aud resolution
Was unanimously adopted:
To the Officers and Members of John B. Hood
Camp Confederate Veterans, Austin, Tex:
Your committee to whom was re-
ferred certain resolutions offered by
Comrade Fred Carlton at the last
meeting of the camp, beg leave to re-
port the following, which, while re-
tanning the general sense of the orig
inal resolutions, have been changed
as to verbiage, and recommend their
adoption:
Whereas, The legislature of Texas
adopted joint resolution which WAS
approved by the governor on April s.,
1893, by the terms of which, section
81, article of the constitution of the
state of Texas, was amended 30 as to
authorize the Legislature to appro~
PIRATE money not to exceed 100000
per annum, for the support and main.
tensnce of a hone for the INDECENT
and disabled Confederate soldiers and
sailors, which amendment will be
submitted for ratification to the voters
of Texas at the general elections to be
he'd in November, 1894;
And, whereas, the proposed amend
ment, if adopted, will place beyond
question the power of the Legislature
to appropriate the necessary funds to
maintain home for those who night
ing for what their state deemed just
and righteous cause, through wounds
and misfortune, have become unable
longer to support themselves.
And, whereas, the making of some
provisions for the veteran Confederate
soldiers of our state, who by reason of
wounds and sickness have lost the
ability to maintain themselves, is q
sacred duty incumbent on all who
revere the memory of the cause for
which the South for four long years
struggled on heroically but vainly.
And, whereas, the proposed amend
ment presents practical ana eco>
nomical method of relieving the wants
Of the genuine disabled Confederate
veterans, in 8 manner which will pre-
vent the fraudulent and dishonest
from receiving benefits, which seem
inseperable from the wisest and
most carefully guarded system of PEN
siops.
Therefore, be it resolved by John

The Fondest Hour Memory Recalls.

The question naturally suggests it
self. Which is ''the fondest hour mem
DRY recalls?" Has the reader, whose
attention we hope to engage, ever had
a controversy with his stomach on the
subject of dyspepsia? After convinc,
ing proofs that the digestive organ has
got the upper hand, has wise resort
been made to Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers? If so, the "fondest hour" has
been recalled by memory in the shape
of lasting resumption of the power
to digest, assimilate thoroughly and
eat heartily without fear of being
uncomfortable afterward. When the
dinner bell, that ''tocsin of the sou"
strikes agreeably upon the ear, the
auditor then greets it as welcome
sound and hastens to obey its sum-
mons. The Bitters, SO renowned as a
stomachic, overcome, too, malarial,
bilious and kidney trouble, and
remedy nervousness, Rheumatism and
sick headache.

dating the existing relations between

ter of foreign affairs. the treaty coz

Y Chinese forces to withdraw from Corea

fensive. The Corean government is
bound by the article to afford the Jap
