PLANT FROM CHINA.
CELESTIAL VERSION OF THE
WAR IN KOREA.
Rumors That the Belligerents
Are Negotiating an
Armistice.

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. s.-Peking
and lien Tsin advices by the Empress
of China have translation of a recently
Issued circular note addressed to the
ministers of the various countries by
the. Chinese imperial Office for COM
munication to their respective govern
ments. The Chinese version of the
Korean trouble is given in detail. Com
meneing with the; rebellion in Korea
the statement proceeds:
no our astOnishment Japan also dis
patched troops to Korea, pretending it
was for the purpose OF assisting to Quell
the rebellion, their real object being to
occupy Seoul. which they did, deposit
Ing themselves at all important passes.
They continued to reinforce themselves
until their number rose upwards of
10000 men. and then demanded that
Korea should repudiate her allegiance
10 China and declare herself independ-
dent. Japan further drew up great
number OF rules and regulations for the
alteration of the government of Korea,
which they required the king to con-
form to in every particular"
The circular goes on to say that
China, out of consideration of the COM
mendable efforts of the powers to effect
a peaceable solution of the difficulties,
had abstained from blOodshed, and then
concluded:
notwithstanding all this, and, by
the most unexpected aud treacherous
system. the Japanese, OIL the % of the
sixth month July 25), collected num-
Der OF their vessels OF war outside the
port of Yashet, and commenced hostili-
ties by firing Oh and damaging our
transport ships, and then attacked
and sank a British steamer, Kow
Shing, flying the English flag. This,
therefore Is the commencement of war
which Is beyond all justification and
China having done her part hitherto to
preserve the gOodfellowship of nations,
can carry fOrbearance no further but
feels constrained to take effectual means
for the management of affairs. We
anticipate that the various governments
will hear of these extraordinary pro-
ceedings with wonder and surprise.
They will know where to lay the entire
blame which attaches. The full state.
mont Of the particular circumstances
under which Japan has iniQuitously and
unlawfully commenced war is presented
to your excellency, to be communicated
to your respective government for it's
inspection.

Play at Plattsville.

PLATTsvILLE, Wis.,, Sept. S.-Never
has Piatssville been visited by such a
severe hail storm as struck this city
at about 8 o'clock today. Hail as large
as walnuts fell for about an hour,
breaking window panes, completely
demoiishing skylights and leaving
orchards and corn fields devastated as
though a cyclone had struck them. A.
peculiar feature of the storm was Its
narrow limit, towns within five miles
of here getting little rain, but no hail
at all. For two hours after the storm
Plattsvllle looked to be in winter dress,
and citizens were using snow SHOW
els to clear their sidewalks. The
hail fell to the depth Of two inches. A
severe wind and considerable rain
accompanied the hail, washing out two
bridges and setting afloat an ice house
at the Plattsvlle brewery. Damage in
window lights will reach hundreds of
dollars, and the damage to the
crops and orchards is inestimable.
What little there Is left Of the corn
crop after the long drought is COM

MUsCoDA, Wis. Sept. s.-A severe
wind storm, amounting almost to

and other outbuildings, tore up and
twisted off large number of shade
trees and scattered lumber In all dlrec.
tions. Two of the 150.foot spans of the
Wisconsin river bridge were blown Off
the piers.

Seven Families Lose Their Lives
in Rainy River County.
RAINY RIVER, P. o., Sept. 1. (by
courier.)-The woods are all on fire from
Rainy River to ten miles this side of
Sault Rapids. At the Grassy River road
the fire jumped into the Canadian side,
and is doing an immense amount of DAM
age to the standing pine in that vicinity.
Seven families have lost their lives,
amounting III all to probably twenty or
twenty-five persons. Among the known
dead are Mrs. Gamsbeys and five chill
drep. Thursday afternoon heavy
thunder.shower came up and checked
the fire considerably, although it was
feared the rain was not sufficient to
place the fires under control. This
part of the country although sparselY
settled, would undoubtedly show
large loss of life should the fires con-
tinue. The woods are dry as tinder
and offer poor shelter to settlers
fleeing from the flames. The mail
carriers between Tower and Rainy
River report several narrow escapes
from death, some of them almost
miracles. The fire is supposed to have
started from the neighborllood of Red
Lake. and from there spread with
startling rapidity to the points noted.

Credit.

DULUTH. Minn.. Sept. s.-While a
great deal has been said about the brav-
cry of two railway men, Engineers Jim
Root, of Duluth, and William Best, of
the Eastern Minnesota. as facts come
out they show that two other men of
the same profession. one OF whom has
been spoken of somewhat contemptu.
ously, deserve equal praise. Conductor
Sullivan, of the Duluth limited. has
been reported as going crazy when his
tram struck the fires. AS matter of
fact, Sullivan did what very few sur
vivors were able to do. He kept to his
train on its fearful race with the fire
back to Skunk lake, and when there, was
one OF the last to leave the blazing cars.
Then he ran three and half miles up
through the fire to Miller, wrote mes
sage to headquarters at Duluth and
gave 1t to the operator. Not till then,
when his work was done, did his nerves
give way. The flames were all about
Miller station when he wrote, and
Operator Thompson was able to send
but few words of the message before
the wires went down. The first relief
party found ten bodies along that three
and half miles, and they were those of
people who had attempted the trip over
before Sullivan. 1t was on the strength
of this half-sent message that Dave
Williams, yardmaster Of the Duluth
road here, took time by the fOrelOck
and went out with q special.

POTATO MINTS.
The Black Hills Turn Out O New
Crop,

CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., Sept. s.-There
are scores of farmers in the valleys of
the Black Hills who will this year make
comfortable fortunes from their crops of
potatoes alone. Heretofore tralnload
after trainload of potatoes have been
shipped into the hills. but this year the
reverse will be the case. TO secure this
large traffic the railroads entering the
Black Hills have reduced temporarily
their freight rates on potatoes to outside
points. Que of the lucky farmers is
George Welge, of Centennial valley.
He has fifty-two acres Of potatoes.
which are very fine, his yield being
over 300 bushels to the acre, This will
give him about 10000 bushels, fot which
he will find a ready market at 80 cents
per bushel. Thus 1t will be seen that
his revenue from this yshy's crop Of
potatoes will be in the neikhborbdod of
$1,000, with comparatively little ex-
pense. The Black Hills produce tie
finest potatoes Id the world,
