GREETINGS FROM w. c. II. u.
Interesting Session of Catholic Total
Abstinence Union Yesterday.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 2.-The w. c. T. L. ex-
tended fraternal greetings to the convention
OF the Catholic Total Abstinence Union, and
the presentation of the delegation of ladies
who brought the greetings was one of the
features of the day. 1t is very likely that
the convention will adopt some radical res
~olutions affecting the position of Catholics
toward the liquor business on the lines of
Bishop Watterson's recent letter, and es-
pecially the position taken by the papal
delegate, Mgr. Satolli. Resolutions will also
be introduced opposing the candidacy for
public office of any person interested, indi-
The first business taken up to-day was
the reports OF societies not connected with
unions. Wonderful growth is reported from
many sections. Many kilograms of regret
at being unable TO attend were read. in

HOLD-UP NEAR ST. LOUIS.
Robbers Stop the Frisco Express and
the Messenger Shot.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2.-Reports just re-
the passenger train which left here on the
Frisco road. at $40 this evening, for
Kansas City and points west, was held up
at Eureka, a station thirty-five miles from
here in St. Louis county. 1t is reported the
express messenger was shot through the
hand. Particulars of the reported hold-up
are very meagre. AS far as known now
the robbers, whose numbers are unknown,
obtained nothing from the express car,
which they attacked after stopping the train
A lively fusillade resulted when the rob-
bers attempted to enter the car, the Wells
Fargo messenger opening fire on them and
wounding one of their number, IL is
thought. The robbers returned the fire and
shot the messenger through the hand.
They then escaped. Sheriff Garrett, at
Clayton. was notified of the attempted
hold-up and made preparations at a late
hour to follow the fugitives with a posse.
Later it is learned that about 9:SO. just
before the train reached Eureka, in st.
Louis county, thirty miles from the city.
Wells-Fargo express messenger Ferguson
started to go from the car in which he
was at work to the one Immediately in
the rear, when he was confronted at the
door by a masked man with a drawn re-
volver, who ordered him to throw up his
hands. Ferguson drew his revolver and
commenced shooting. The robber returned
the fire and sent one bullet through the
messengers shoulder and another through
his hand. He then jumped from the train
and escaped. He is undoubtedly wounded.
He made no effort to secure any of the
money in the car. He was probably scared
off by the brave resistance Of the express
messenger.
1t is believed that more than one man
was interested in the attempted robbery.
Just before reaching Eureka a bomb ex-
ploded under the wheels of the engine
This was the signal to stop.

DAHLGREN, ILL.,, Aug. 2.-The boiler or

CORN HIGHER THAN WHEAT.
Only Twice i'm T~hirty-Two Years Has

CHICAGO. Aug. 2.-The bulge in corn.
owing TO the drought. and the steadily de-

the fact to-day that only twice in thirty

day No. , yellow corn sold at sic, while
sales of No. 2 hard wheat were made at
50l9c. No. 8 yellow corn sold at 50l5c. and
No. 3 red wheat at soc. At some points

Corea to be Independent.

WASHINGTON. Aug. "A telegram has
been received at the Japanese legation to-
night giving the substance of the formal
representation made by the Japanese gov
eminent to the foreign ministers at Toxic,
defining it's attitude on the Corean question.
The telegram is as follows: THE King of
Corea has appointed his father, Tai-in-kun.
to nave control of the administration of
the government and to direct the reforms
which have been determined on. Several
days ago the King summoned the japanese
minister at Seoul to the palace. where he
was informed that reforms in the admins
trative policy Of the Corean government had
already been inaugurated, with reference to
which he would be consulted as occasion
arose. The improvements in Corea's admin
~istrative policy have consequently, notwith-
standing the repeated refusals of China to
even consider them, been put into operation
by the independent action of the COrean
government, and will be carried out accord
ing to the Kings will. the question of CO.
rea's autonomy and independence is thus
affirmatively settled"

ing that war had been declared between
China and Japan. The came in
a dispatch from Mr.. Charles Denny, the
charge d'affaires at Peldn- Mr.. Denby's
dispatch does not say, however, which
country made the declaration. MIR. DENLY
also stated in his dispatch that the Japa-
nese had withdrawn their charge d'affaires
at Pekin and that the American legation
was exerting it's good offices to protect the
subjects OF Japan in CHINA, me japanese
and at this time is in the latter country,
leaving the legation at Pekln in the care of
the charge d'affaires.
A telegram received at the Japanese lega-
ton says that the Chinese government has
notified Japan that the Chinese minister at
Toxic and the consuls throughout Japan
would be withdrawn on the 3D. of August.
In consequence of this action, the japanese
government has notified it's charge daft
flares at Pekin and its consuls throughout
China to withdraw. The japanese charge
d'affaires here has asked this government
to exercise its good offices to afford through
It's representatives In emma all protection
that can be rendered consistently to Japa-
nese residents during the present trouble.
No formal statement that a state of war
exists between China and japan has as yet
been communicated to the Japanese lega-
ton here. 1t is SurmiSed that if such a
communication is made to this government
it will come from the United States minis
ter at Toxic. The Corean legation officials
at this capital have been trying to COM
municate with their government. but with
out avail. The last attempt was via the

pany returned the message with the state
ment that it was undelivered for the rea-
son that it was refused by the Chinese adj
ministration on the ground that it was in
code. At the request of the Chinese and
Japanese governments, made through their
representatives here, the State Department
has instructed United States Minister Dunn,
at Toxic, and Mr.. DENLY, at Pekin, to take
under the protection of the United States
the citizens of China in japan and of Japan
in China. This is a distinctively war meas
ure, and although il cannot be learned at
the State Department that it has been reg
ularly notified of the existence of war be-
tween China and Japan, this movement on
the part of Secretary Gresham indicates
that he has been so advised, and is proceed
ing on that Information. This is not the
first time that the flag of the United States
has afforded protection TO foreigners in hos
tile countries, for during the Franco-Prus-
sian war the United States minister at
Paris took under his care the Germans
resident in that city. The action of the
United States, in this case, by both parties,
is evidence of their belief in our absolute
impartiality.
