such thing as a jury system, the rights
of the individual are very lightly re-
garded, and justice is melted out in the
most summary fashion.
Farming in Corea is Of the most
primitive description. The multitude
Of people forbids the employment of
laho--saving machinery, and all opera
lions. of whatever nature, are carried
or Ivy hand. Even the irrigation of the
crops, a process so purely mechanical
that it might be supposed some sort Of
simple device would be constructed to
obviate the necessity Of hand l.: dor, is
done by lifting the water from o-.e pool
to another by means Of large scoop, a
succession of able-bodied Coreans shov-
cling water as elsewhere sand is shov-
ued. After the crops are planted they
are watched, small tower being con-
structed to overlook the fields of q
whole neighborhood, and the farmers
take turns in guarding their property
from the depredations Of thieves and
hungry animals. In the cose of fruit
farms, this precaution is very neces-
sary, as fruit is one Of the great staples
of Corea, and almost any kind general
ly finds ready sale at good prices. The
list Of fruits is long.
OF the field rips, beans AMI rice are
the most important, the former being
used not only as food for man, pit also
for the small. hardy ponies which are
employed by The rich aud official ;.l,sses
as means of transportation. Not al
ways, however. A Corean official has
large stock of dignity, and among the
various devices by which this is upheld
is the idea that it is degrading to walk
anywhere. So every official is provid-
ed with a litter and number Of bear
crs in proportion to the weight of his
dignity. He may walk about in his

Working on this joint is tube of firm

STRIKE IS EXTENDING
Few Trains Running on
the Great Northern.
COAL BARONS INDIFFERENT
But Manufacturers View the Proposed
Miners Strike Differently.

ST PAUL, April ls-The end of the
fourth day since the American Railway
union declared a strike oD the Great
Northern finds the strike extended over
all the lines OF the company, except a
short distance from this city. aud of the
4495 miles OF the system not over 200
miles are in operation.
This has been accomplished thus far
without anything threatening bloodshed,
and the men say there Is no danger OF
any trouble. They are determined, how
ever, aud will allow no trains to be made
up OF to be moved. The last part OF the
system to be affected by the strike Is
eastern Minnesota. The men on this
branch line are restless and want to
strike.
There Is an unconfrmed report that the
company has made overtures TO the men,
looking to "A conference for settling the
trouble but the officials deny such "A re-
port.
Arthur. Morrissey and several chairman
of the Brotherhood's committees decided
not to recognize the American Railway
union In any way. The Brotherhood men
who go out with the new organization
know that they must leave their old or
gauizations.
A circular OF instructions will be issued
to the Brotherhood men, urging them, If
they have any grievance or desire any
changes, to make their wants known
through the usual channel and "A con-
ference with Mr.. Hill will be secured.
They are receiving advices from the vari-
Gus divisions, and while some individuals

The Threatened Coal Strike.

PITTsBURG, April 1s.-Mass meetings OF
miners are being held TO line up the dig
gers on the Pennsylvania railroad for the
much-talked-of general strike. The EN-
ployes of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal company are being urged 20 re
consider their acceptance Of reduction,
and to strike with the other miners next
Saturday. The organizers will visit pits
along the Baltimore and Ohio road. The
'Yough slope diggers have already an
nounced their intention of striking. but
the leaders want to keep mp their spirits
by some speeches.
The operators still preserve an attitude
of entire indifference, and claim they
don't care whether the men strike or not.
ID. w. Van Eman Of the Pittsburg and
Chicago Gas Coal company says IA strike
will relieve the operators from the neces-
sity of supporting miners who are idle.
The miners believe that this indiffer-
ence is caused by belief among many
operators that the men will not strike, or
at least in such numbers rs would lend
force to the fight. They say they will
surprise the operators this time by the
magnitude and length of the strike.
Meanwhile alarm is growing among
manufacturers. They do not share the
confidence of the operators, but rather
appreh nd that two weeks from now they
will be compelled TO close. As fully two
thirds of the mills, foundries, machine
shops and other manufacturing estab-
lishments in Pittsburg now use coal, n
fuel famine would result i'm the shutting
down of valuable plants aud the enforced
idleness of many thousands Of men.

PIANOS
What We Do

Some families want piano, but keep
putting it off till they can pay the whole
price cash down.
The result is that meanwhile they go
without, or else waste money in renting,
and then, perhaps, when the money is
ready it is too late to enjoy or profit by
the use of an instrument.
A small payment to begin with, and q
little more than bare rent monthly will
buy an Ivers e. Pond Piano in the same
time it would take to save up the money,
and the investment is all the time safer
than a savings bank, for the customer
has the piano all the time.

The 4 me rIcan Am bass dor and German
Foreign Minister Exchange Views.
LONDON, Nov IA dispatch from
Berlin says that the prohibition by
Germany of the importation of Amer
lean cattle has led to a lively ex-
change of views between the Il on
Theodore Runyon, the American am
bassador, and Won Bic berstein. the
German foreign minister. Mr.. Run
yon characterized the order as d
severe, unjust and unnecessary re :
taliation against the duties imposed
by the United States on German beet
root sugar. Those duties, he said,
had been advised by Presiden t
Cleveland. though congress would be
certain to annul them.
Won Bic bernstein in reply admitted
the severity of the order but not the
other epithe IS employed by the
am assador. He said Germany would
not barter the soundness of her cattle
for a prospective lowe ring of the
sugar duty. The incubation period
of the Texas fever. he said, was six
United States in an apParen thy
healthy condition might ~afterw ard
be attacked and spread the infection.
Mr.. Runyon disputed this claim on
the ground that the contagion is pro-
pagated by insects which are non
existent in Europe He also argue d
that dead meat can not convey the
Texas fever.
