The following official statement of
the difficulties between China and
Japan which led to the outbreak of
hostilities between those two coun-
tries has been issued by the Japanese
government:
Japan and China were approaching
a settlement of their difficulties when
China suddenly requested Japan to
Withdraw her fleet from Corea and to
give formal compliance with the
Chinese demands by the Goth. Other
wise the whole Chinese forces, land
and sea, were to advance.
The Japanese regarded this as an
ultimatum, but acting under the ad-
vice Of the friendly powers they agreed
to the proposals, in principle, in
amended form, at the same time de-
claring that If the threatened Chinese
advance was made on the 10th 1t
would be regarded as menace to
Japan.
The japanese do net believe that
the Kow Shing, the Chinese transport
sunk by Japanese cruiser, was flying
the British flag, but in any case they
regard it II true, as being ruse de
guerre.
The japanese Indignantly deny the
charges of brutality brought against
the officers and crew of the cruiser
which sank the Chinese transport

SLUMS IN BIG CITIES.
Those in Baltimore, Philadelphia,

The census of.the slums ordered by

ers the slums of Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, New York and Chicago, and
there are many interesting facts to be
found in the report. Tine following is
a brief summary Of some OF the re-
suits of the investigations:
In the city of New York there was.
at the time of the investigation, one
liquor saloon to every 200 persons, but
in the Slum district canyasSed there
was one saloon to every 129 persons.
In Philadelphia, in the city at large,
there was one liquor saloon to every
$40 persons, but in the slum district
canvassed there was one such saloon
to every 5O2 persons.
In Baltimore, in the city at large,
there was one saloon to every 228 per-
sons, but in the slum district can
vassed there was one saloon to every
los persons.
In Chicago, in the city at large,
there was one saloon to every 212 per-
sons, while in the district caLvassed
there was one saloon to every 127 per-
sons. In these calculations fractions
haye been dropped.

Chicago the total foreign born in the
city at large constitutes 40.9 98 per cent,
of the population, while in the slum
district It is 57.51 per cent; in New
York the foreign born is 42.23 per

the slum district it is 92.58 per cent,
and In Philadelphia the foreign born
constitutes 25.74 per cent. of the total
population, and 60. As per cent OF the
slum population. These figures show
conclusively that the proportion ol

policy toward the other nations and

And especially do we commend
President Cleveland in his efforts for

document and meets our most hearty
approval, and we coudemn any and
all efforts made to impede the passage

with the National Democratic
Convention OF 1892 we hold to the use
of both gold and silver as the standard
money of the country and the coinage
of both gold and silver without dis
eliminating against either metal or

be Of equal intrinsic and exchangeable

carry out these pledges to the people"

CARD FROM MIR. WINNER.
What He Has to Say About Carrying
the Mails.

the Mails.
To the Editors of the Sentinel.l
You say that you were Informed
that the railroad company had no de-
sire to take the contract for carrying
the mail to and from the depot from
me, but only wanted to get suitable
vehicle for the transfer Of the malls,
and at the same time offering to pur-
chase said vehicle for him, etc. This
is not true and it is calculated to
do me an injustice. These are the
facts:
The postmaster at Winston took
charge Of the office about the 10th OF
January last. About five days there
after, SO l am informed by Colonel A.
Sayery, Mr.. Buford bought wagon
from him, not for the railroad COM
pany, but to be used by Mr.. Wall for
the purpose of carrying the mails. He
was TO commence on the first OF Feb
ruary. / had not been notified that
the change was to be made.
suppose l would not have known
anything about it until after the con-
tract had been taken from me but fOr
friend. When the attention CT one
OF the railroad officers was called to
this act Of Injustice he prevented 1t.
From this you will see that 1T was
pre-concerted plan to take the con-
tract from me. No man of sound
sense will say that in five days after
the change Of the postmasters that l
would have acted so badly as to deserve
removal. Is it not strange that for
more than twenty years l have car
ried the mail under Democratic and
Republican postmasters to their satis-
fon %ir,v, %r,f Iao fcfn nnff Of ~
public, but now l am doing so badly
that ought to be turned out? The
people are not all fools; the mail Is
carried In good twO-horse dray and
Is protected when the weather Is bad
by waterproof covering. If l was
able would buy fine, covered spring
wagon. l only get $50 per month for
carrying the mail. 1t takes about
this to pay the expense. Between the
arrival and departure of the train |
get some draying to do, which / could
not do in fine covered wagon. None
of our people are now putting on style
except some Of those who by accident
hold government or railroad po-
sitions.
The mail to and from the N. &
w. depot Is carried in q wheelbarrOw.
l have heard of no complaint about
this and have not heard Of hungry
my friend, Maj. r. e. Wilson, for his
defense of me; he knows how to SYM
pathize with a poor old Confederate
soldier who has been shot to pieces,
and l thank the good people OF Wins
ton and Salem for standing by me as
they have done. pray that God will
bless them all.
The treatment which have receiv-
ed ought not to prejudice them against
h0 nd n
much for the prosperity Of our towns;
the company is not to blame. There
Is one whom l must not forget to
mention-that is Col. A. B. Andrsws.
He is the greatest man that ever liv-
ed in North Carolina; he was gal
liant Confederate soldier, as the scars
upon his body will testify. He loves
the old soldiers and they love him.
May Gods choicest blessing be show
cred upon him is the prayer Of the
MANNED old Confederate soldier.
