FAMINE-srRICKEN CoREANs.


New YORK, August 1.-THE move
Coreans has already taken shape, and is
being vigorously pushed. In response
to the offer of the Christian Herald of
New York to contribute 1000 barrels of
flour to any cargo that may be sent to
that country, the Corean Minister, Ye
Sung 500, yesterday telegraphed to that
paper the following from Washington
Your noble and generous contribu-
ton OF 900 barrels of flour substan-
TALLY starts the movement to relieve my
starving countrymen. My heart is full
of gratitude to you for your prompt as
sistance, and | shall notify my govern
ment OF the relief that may be expected
from this country. 1t fills my heart with
pain and regret that my starving coun-
trymen and PROSTATE government can
not find means to transport the contrl-
button you have SO generously started.
In day or two | hope | shall be able to
advise you whether the shipping port
shall be New York or San Francisco.
The latter port would be better"
DR.. Louis Klopsch of the Christian
Herald has forwarded the following dis
patch to Secretary Gresham, inviting
the assistance of the government in for
warding the proposed cargo:
1.-The pathetic appeal made by the
Corean Minister in behalf of his starving
people provokes widespread sympathy.
If means OF transportation can be Sc
cured, a large cargo of grain for the re-
lief of these starving multitudes can be
provided. Will the United States gov
eminent undertake the transportation
from either New York or San Fran
cisco?"
1t is further proposed to secure the
cooperation OF the various boards OF
trade and exchanges throughout the
country, and especially at San Francisco
and Chicago. The cargo, when COM
pleted, will probably clear from the
former port, and it is believed that a
guarantee of immunity from seizure,
either by China or Japan, will be granted.

Mr.. Pullman Returning Home.

PIrrsBURG, Pa, August ll.-George
NJ. Pullman was passenger last night
on the Pennsylvania limited for Chi
cago. This will be his first visit to Pull
man since the great strike ended. He
was closed mouthed on the affairs OF the
strike, saying that he had been away so
long that he was not conversant with
the situation. His advices were that
the trouble was settled, and that no out
break was probable. He said that the
strike had cost everybody connected
with it heap OF money, but he had no
figures with which to make an estimate.
Mr.. Pullman was accompanied by Robert
#. Lincoln, ex-Minister to England. Mr..
Lincoln said he was interested mainly
in the Japan-China war, and he thought
that the Mikado's subjects would win.

LITTLE'S REPORT.
1t Causes Two Suits Against President
Reinhart of the Atchison.

causes WO SultS against
Reinhart of the Atchison.
New YORK, August 1l.-Matilda Wal
lace has brought two suits in the Supe-
rior Court of the city against j. w.
Reinhart as President of the Atchison
and Topeka road-one to recover $50, 900
damages and the other to recover $1,000
damages. The grounds in the action are
that Remnant issued a statement June
50, 1898, giving the Atchison and Tope-
ka's surplus at 81, 9l8, $50 above the OPP
Grating expenses, and September 2, 1898,
made another statement, showing the
excellent condition of the company and
the amount of securities held IN its
treasury. The petitions further charge
that June 30, 1898, the defendant caused
to be published in the New York World
statements showing the condition OF the
company's affairs, and sets forth that
the statements in the complaint are con-
firmed by the report of Stephen Little,
the expert accountant who made the
statement for the reorganization COM
mittee The plaintiff AYERS that on the
representations made by Remnant she
purchased 200 shares of Atchison and
Topeka stock, and that she is damaged
thereby to the amount of the sums she
asks to recover. The complaint has been
served on President Reinhart.

RECOGNITION OF HAWAII.


Its Representative Formally Received
at Washington.
WASHINGTON, August 1l.-Frank p.
Hastings, who in the absence of Minister
Thurston is Charge d 'Affaires at the Ha-
waiian legation here, has been formally
recognized as representative of the new
government. Chairman McCreary of
the House Committee on Foreign Affairs
says it is not customary to give publicity
to diplomatic correspondence until it
has reached its destination. Conse-
quently the letter to President Dole
will not be made public until sufficient
time has passed for its reception. The
fact that the existence of the correspond
ence has become known may induce the
President to make it public. The pro-
ceedings as to the recognition were
simple and formal. Minister Thurston
on starting for Hawaii had left Secre-
tary Hastings as Charge dAflaires ad
interim for the provisional government
of Hawaii. By the same mail which
conveyed to the State Department Willis
notice that he recognized the new Re-
public of Hawaii Mr.. Hastings received
his credentials of Charge d'Affaires ad
interim for the Republic. These were
from Mr.. Hatch, the Hawaii Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and were directed to
Secretary Gresham. Mr.. Hastings laid
his credentials before the State Depart
ment, and the day before yesterday re-
ceived the usual notice stating that the
department had received his credentials
and recognized him as ad interim rep
resentative of the Hawaiian govern
ment,

CUT THEM IN TWO
The Great Northern Reduces
It's Elevator Rates.
IT CAUSES CONSERVATION.

Elevator Men Are Alarmed. as Ihey
Think Mr.. HnI's Policy Means Ruin
for Their Interests-The Cut is in the
Interest of Disconnected Farmers.
DULurH, Mimi, August 10.-The East
ern Minnesota, a part of the Great
Northern system, to-day issued circu-
lar cutting charges OF handling and stor-
ing wheat in terminal elevators at this
point in two, in order to help the farm
ers of the Northwest, who have been
growing more and more discontinued as
a result of the decrease in prices. Own
ers of the other elevators at once called
on General Manager Harrington and
threatened to have the certificates of the
Great Northern elevators ruled off the
Duluth board if the schedule was put
into effect Mr.. harrington dared them
to do it, saying they would take their
business elsewhere if they adopted such
a foolish policy. The elevator men are
in CONSERVATION, as they think j. j..
Hills new policy means ruin for their
interests, which involve millions. Mr.
Hill, according to Mr.. harrington, looks
upon q terminal elevator as he does q
freight shed, and wants to make no
charges at all for handling and storing
wheat. He would have abolished charges
altogether but for the ruin it would
have brought to elevator interests. The
elevator men are thoroughly alarmed.
1t is claimed Duluth and Minneapolis
mills will be injured by the change.

RUSSIA ALERT.

BERLIN, August IA dispatch to the
Tageblatt from St. Petersburg says: " In
addition to the eight Russian warships
which sailed recently from Nladivostock
under sealed orders for Corea, the COM
mander-i n-chief OF Eastern Siberia has
been instructed to hold troops in readi-
ness to march at any moment. Russia
wishes to maintain strictly neutral
position, but as soon as a constitutional
change occurs in Corea she will reso-
lutely protect her interests The dis
patch states France has declared her
readiness to cooperate with the Russian
fleet in the far East. The correspondent
learned from the same diplomatic source
that it is China's intention to continue
the war until Japan's strength has been
exhausted and she is compelled, perhaps
by the powers, to sue for mercy and for
pardon for the Kow Shung affair, which
greatly irritated the nation.

A Decline in Corn of Nearly Twenty.
Six Points.


WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE month
ly report of the Statistician OF Agricul-
ture shows decline in corn of nearly
twenty-six ports since July IA. The
average for the entire breadth is 69.5
against 95 for the month OF July. The
condition for August, 1898, was 96. The
great decline is due almost wholly to the
extensive and Unprecedented severe
drought that has set in since the last re-
port, and to the hot, dry winds that have
swept over the States OF Nebraska, Kan
sas, Iowa and parts of other Western
States. In some localities the crop has
been injured beyond recovery, while in
others timely rains would go far toward
assuring fair yields. The averages for

From an interview with Receiver
Clark of the Oregon Pacific it was
learned that the road is still holding its
own, with prospects somewhat brighter
for the future. During the month just
closed between 1000 and 5000 ties have
been removed and new ones placed in
their stead, and the extensive repairs
begun some months ago on the William
cite bridge at Albany have been COM
pleted. The system inaugurated by Mr..
Clark soon after his appointment, has
been carried right along until now the
road is in better condition both physic-
ally and financially than it has been for
over two years. The receiver pays cash
for everything, and all bills for material
and supplies are discounted, a thing
which has not happened for years. Pas
senger traffic for the past month has i'm
proved wonderfully over that of former
years. Trains of four and five cars are
run regularly and carry from 100 to 300
bay-bound passengers daily.
In his annual review of the salmon
business, just issued, Mr.. Kinney of As
toria says: "After many weeks of un-
certainty and an almost confirmed be-
lief that the pack would be smaller
than that OF any previous year IN
the history of salmon-canning on the
Columbia river, the season of 1894
is about to close, and it is safe to
estimate the total pack at 10 per cent
in excess Of last years figures. During
the earlier portion of the season the gem
eral belief in the four-year-run theory
was rudely shaken by the comparative
scarcity OF fish, while the destruction OF
wheels in the upper river materially in
creased the probabilities OF much-di-
minished catch. Still another cause for
uneasiness was the fact that until quite
recently SEEMING was practically useless,
owing to the vast volume of water which
for weeks rushed down the Columbia
river and its tributaries. Trap-tishing
was also exceedingly poor because of
the freshet and the resultant muddy
state of the water. 1t will be readily
seen, therefore, that nothing short of a
phenominally large run of salmon dur
ing the latter days Of the season would
enable Gamers to reach even last years
figures. But within the past thirty days
the shortage was rapidly decreased the
catch having been greater than for any
corresponding period for many years
past, considering the quantity of gear in
use.

On Hood canal points fir logs have ad-

of the increased activity in the foreign

about the increase in business there
would not have been any anxiety among
loggers to secure an advance. The in
crease in the price of logs brings the
