and three Chinese men-of-war and 90
non trOons ara "a Jupzap

and three Chinese men-of-war and 20,-
700 troops are at Junzen.
So far as the case has been present
ed to American readers Japan has the
better side. Corea is the cause of the
prospective war, and her commercial
interests in the hermit kingdom are
paramount. She has many of her SUBJ
jects there, and the trade is largely in
Japanese hands. She has a further
grievance in the protection given to
assassination by Chinese officials.
China, on her part, has the claim, CEN
turies old, OF Corean vassalage. Sne
can't let her vassal be invaded and
subdued by another country, even
though the dependency of Corea has
been ira 1ition rather than condition.
China is the more powerful in num-
bers. Her soldiers are well otficered.
Her people are the more warlike. But
Japan has the better navy. She has
also the benefit of western ideas in her
navy. She would be the quicker to
utilize all modern inventions of war
fare, and the opinion of military ex-
perts is that the nation which is quick
est to avail itself Of these inventions is
sure to WIN.
Japan was the first OF the Asiatic
ideas. She encouraged intercourse
China is still closed except at a few
ports. Her trade and commerce are
undeveloped. The empire is less hon.
ogeneous than Japan. But she has her
great chancellor, vhe Bismarck of the
East, and his plan will undoubtedly be
to have other nations fight Chinese
battles. So it may be that the specK
on the Oriental horizon will darken the
European skies, and the long-postponed
war, which will determine the strength
of the triple alliance a I'd place Russia
and France side by side in the battle
field, may even now be rumbling in the
East.
Cause of the Trouble.
A few weeks ago Japan demanded
that China join her in imposing fiscal
reform upon the country and in the
correction of political abuses, so as to
do away with the periodical insurrec-
tions that completely upset the country
and infiict great annoyance and dam
age upon all foreigners engaged there.
This seems TO be progressive and a
laudable idea but conservative and
suspicious China declined the proposal,
with thanks. Her answer was that
it is her traditional policy not to inter-
fere forcibly in the internal affairs OF
vassal state. Thereupon Japan re-
piled that If China would not help her
reform the country she would under
take the task herself. 1t is this new
phase OF Corean affairs that may lead
to ugly complications, and make the
Pacific border of Asia for awhile an
object OF particular attention to all the
nations.
At this point Russia thought it
timely to make q few remarks. She
warned Jaran that she would not be
permitted to acquire territorial rights
in Corea: Russia longs to include. this
fine peninsula in her Asiatic domain
Corea would give her the strategical
and commercial p sition on the Pacific
which her ice bound northern coast
does not afford.

entomologists insist that while under
ground, though subsisting on the roots
of trees, they rarely do much damage.
and that during their life above ground
their appetite is not ravenous; that
the damage wrought is not in what
they eat, but ii is the puncturing OF
the branches of the trees by the fe-
males in making nests for their eggs.
They have tendency to attack the
topmost branches, and as a result trees
subjected to their ravages speedily
take on the appearance Of those repre-
sented in the illustration in this ar
ticle.
In those sections where they have
already appeared, however, the results
seem to belle the statements OF the
scientists, for the trees and plants and
even the grain crops show discourag-
Ing evidences of their ravages. In
some fields in Eastern New York the
locusts are found toaverage more than
one to the square foot. From dozen
to twenty OF these creatures can be
found on a single long blade OF grass.
The locust has innumerable enemies,
but all combined do not seem able to
make any appreciable inroads on the
vast hordes. The crows, sparrows and
other winged cleaners of the fields
feed upon them, as do the domestic

Mr.. German, OF Maryland, who had
been a champion of Democracy for
years In the Senate, and who is now
the caucus leader and chairman of the
party steering committee, denounced
President Cleveland in a speech which
lasted nearly three hours and which
was remarkable throughout for its
skill and its bitterness.
The galleries were packed to the
doors, and so great was the interest in
Mr.. Gorman's speech that the mem
bers of the House f1ocked to the Senate
end Of the Capitol, and the House, be-
ing unable to hold quorum, ad-
journed.
Mr.. German, with a frankness that
amazed those present, discussed party
secrets, opened the door to party eau
cuses and flashed his search-light into
the dark corners OF party history. The
Pre- sident was assailed with keennes
and vigor by the leader of his party on
the floor of the Senate. He defended
the Senate tariff bill and its pl epara-
tion, and charged that both Mr.. Car
Isle and Mr.. Cleveland were not only
aware of the concessions made in that
bill to procure its passage through
the Senate, but that Mr.. Carli le had
Mr.. Cleveland had sanctioned all that
was done.
Mr.. German was at his best One
by one he called Senators Vest, Jones
and Harris as witne ses to the truth of
his statements. Then, having freed
himself from all restraint he told the
inside history OF the conference over
the tariff bill. He even went back
and told the secrets of the Mills bill
and the st. Louis and Chicago plat
forms, and the demand made upon the
National Democratic Committee by
the sugar Senators in 1892.
His per sonal attack on the President
was full of the most sensational char
acterizations. He told how he had
dared, when other men faltered, to
walk with Cleveland through the filth
and slime of the campaign of 1884;
how he and his colleagues had fought
for tariff reform when towards in
high places would not show their
heads" how Mr.. Cleveland had tried
to "gibbet the Senate before the eyes
Cf the country" and said that his ac-
tion must be attributed to consuming
vanity"-an action that was echoed by
those who "chirped when he talked"
His references to the President cre-
leries, sometimes of approval and some
times OF disapproval that the pre- iding
officer was obliged repeatedly to eau
tion them to preserve better order.
Mr.. German was listened to with rapt
attention throughout his speech. a
deep feeling of excitement being print
ed on every face. Among those who
listened most earnestly was Sir Julian
Paunccfote, the British Minister, who
was in the diplomatic gallery.
In conclusion Mr.. German practical
ly warned his colleagues that on the
material points it must be the Senate
bill or no bill. Mr.. White, of Califor-
MIA, was the only other speaker of the
day. While personally in favor OF free
coal and iron ore, he, too, declared IL
to be the part OF patriotism for the
Democrats to stand together for the
Senate bill. After he concluded the
Senate adjourned with the situation
seemingly in as chaotic state as ever.

Compares the Presidents Opponents with
Conspirators Against Caesar.
Another dramatic scene occurred iI
the Senate Tuesday, but President
Cleveland, instead of being, as on the
previous day, the object of attack by
the leader of his party was defended
with vigor and vim Mr.. Cleveland's 8
champion was his old political rival
and enemy, Senator David Bennett
Hill. of New York The New York
Senator spoke for almost two hours to
breathless galleries and a full Senate.
Several times the presiding officer was
unable to restrain the enthusiasm his
remarks evoked, notably when Mr.. Hill
declared that personal considerations
would not prevent him from defending
the President when he was uniustly
attacked. He defended Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter, his right to send it, and
the sentiments it contained, and made
a point against his adversaries when he
pointed out that they criticised the
President for siding with the House
when they admitted that they had used
all their influos ce to induce him to in
terpose in behalf of the Senate amend
ments to the tariff bill.
He took up Mr.. Germans argument
and met it point by point in manner
satisfactory to himself, at least, and
concluded with a piece of satire that
stung those on the floor and tickled
the galleries immeasurably. Mr.. Cor
man compared Mr.. Hill to Iago. Mr..
Hill likened those who had joined in
the assault on Mr.. Cleveland to the
conspirators who stabbed Cesar to
death at the foot of Pompey's statue in
the Roman Senate.

A Oncer Conner Mine.

"There are many kinds Of mines and
numerous inventions for saving pre-
cious metals, - said Professor L. e.
Waring of Omaha, "but the strangest
one 1 ever heard Of is at Butte, Mon.
When mines were first discovered in
that locality, it was found that the wa
ter contained in the assures was so
strongly imprsgnated with copper in So
luton that tools of all kinds were quick
ly destroyed by the affinity of the copper
for the iron For long time the water
pumped out of the mine went to waste,
as no method was known Of extracting
the copper from ii. After awhile dis
covery was made that is being used to
good advantage. Some tin cans found
their way into the small stream. In
short time it was noticed that they had
every appearance of being made of pure
copper, so thickly were they covered
with that metal. In noting this fact,
one man resolved to try an experiment..
He Immediately purchased the exclusive
right to the water. Then he put in a
series of reservoirs and tanks along the
little gully where the water ran. These
he filled with all the old metal to be
had in the town, including old barrel
hoops. At tho end of six months he
found that the old junk was totally de-
stroyed, and in its place was a sedi-
mentary deposit in the bottom Of the
reservoirs which was so per cent cop

Napoleon and Home Production.

Napoleon forbade the use of cotton or
Of foreign wood for the furniture Of the
imperial palaces. He desired that the
people who were invited to the drawing
rooms at court should dress only in silk,
so as to encourage the Lyons manufac-
tories. He declared war on Indian cash
meres, but his power was impotent
against the tyranny of fashion and
against routine. The emperor threaten
ed the empress in vain that he would
throw her cashmere shawls into the fire
The empress used to answer him that as
soon as they could give her stuffs as
light and warm as the cashmere woolens
she would be very glad to wear them.
The emperor encouraged the manu-
facturers of French shawls and commits
stoned Isabey to make the designs Of
magnificent woolen stuff like cashmere
on white ground, with which shawl
and dress were made. Marie Louise
wore them with some reluctance. These
stuffs had not the softness which they
have since acquired. The empress used
to complain with reason that her dress
"griped" whenever she went near the
fire. Memoirs Baron de Meneval.
