CLASH OF THE oELEsrIALs.
The Claim That War Has Not Been
Declared Yet Reiterated

The Claim That War Has Not Been
Declared Yet Reiterated.
London, July 2s-The Chinese legation
to-day received a dispatch from Tien
Tsen saying the King of Corea had been
captured by the Japanese on July %.
This is regarded as explaining the col
lison which took place at Seoul, the capi-
tai Of Corea, between the Japanese and
palace guards.
The Chinese minister to-day said there
has been no formal declaration of war be-
tween China and Japan, in spite of the
collisions which have occurred, and that
pourparlers tending toward a peaceful
settlement Of the disputes between the
two countries still continue
SINKING OF THE SHIPS.
Shanghai, July 2S-Further news re-
ceived here shows that in addition to the
Hugh Mathieson & Co.'S steamer, Kow
Shung, which was sunk by a Japanese
cruiser as it was being used as trans
port for Chinese troops all on board being
drowned, the Chinese Trading Company's S
steamer, IOonan, also being used as
transport for Chinese troops, has been
sunk by the fire of Japanese warship.

JAPAN PLEADS JUSTIFICATION.
| A lengthy statement has been sent out
| from an authentic source explaining
Japan's position. 10 is claimed that Japan
| has never gone beyond the rights given
| her by the treaty Of 1855. The statement
/ rehearses Japan's demands as presented
/ to the government at Peking, and de-
! clares that if war results, the policy of
! China will be answerable for It. II is i'm

treaty rights.
ITALY AND ENGLAND DIP IN.
Rome, July 2s.-The following dispatch
was received from Toxic this morning:
| The Italian minister, acting in concert
with the British minister, has presented

! These proposals will be considered by the
Japanese government, which has reserved

Probably the most viciously corrupt,
shameless and disreputable political
oligarchy in existence in this or any
other land, is the Tammany hall
gang of New York, and it is a healthy
and hopeful sign to see the reputable
and independent democratic element
of the empire state, up in arms
against this infamous organization.
To such an extent has this anti
Tammany sentiment gained foothold,
that the intention now is to place an
independent democratic state ticket
in the field, and defeat the machine
at all hazards. PROFESSIONALLY
Cleveland and his followers are back
of the movement, for perhaps other
than purely high moral motives, for he
certainly owes nothing to Hill or to
Tammany, but the uprising as q
whole, is due to an arousing of that
higher sentiment, that will in the
light of recent exposures, wage wal
to the finish against the most scan
dalous and most villainous system OF
political corruption that ever dis
graced state or nation. 1t is safe
to say that the days of Tammany's
rule are about ended, and it is en-
couraging to see the people of the
greatest state in this grand nation
aroused to sense of their high re-
sponsibilities and duty.

FUSION Is FATAL.

It is a fact that the republican leg
islative nominees, Jones, Foss and
Finney will get large democratic
and populist vote in this district be-
cause their opponents are fusion
candidates. The democrat and
populist, who have affiliated with
their respective parties through con-
viction and principle, refuse to counte-
nance or endorse fusion, believing
that this either, both, or neither fusion
politics, is politics for the individual
not the public.
Fusion is neither honorable nor
honest in our opinion. Tt cannot be
honorable because it is surrender OF
principle, and it cannot be honest be-
cause its purpose is a combination
for Office. A candidate can no more
serve two parties, than can a man
serve two masters, and a fusion candi.
date cannot be tied down to any
political principles, for he can be all
things to all men, or all things fol
the candidate as he may chose.
The same reasons that will bring
strength to the republican Legislative
candidates aside from their stric1
party vote, will also bring like
support to the republican county
ticket, and we are confident the result
of the election in not only this, but
other counties and districts, will de
monstrate that fusion is source O.
weakness instead Of strength.
