The most Of the controversy has already
been made known to the public, but the
official letters between China and Japan
give the first account of the sharp diplo-
matte fencing between the countries up to
few days before the war. The letters
run from June to July IA and they are
numbered from one to nine:
No. 1 is from Wang, Chinese Minister to
Japan. 1t informs Japan that telegram
has just been received f1Om Ii Hung
Chang stating that the Korean Govern
ment has requested China TO send troops to
suppress a rebellion of the Tong Haks.
Viceroy Ii, it says, considers the rebellion
serious and therefore complies with the
request for troops to protect "our tribu-
tary State" first notifying Japan in ac-
cordance with treaty provision that each
shall inform the other before entering
Korea.
No. 9 is from Mulsu, Minister of Foreign
Affairs of japan. 1t very rointedly states
''In reply. l beg to declare that although
the words tributary State appear in your
note, the Japanese Government has never
recognized Korea as tributary State to
China"
No. is notice from the Japanese Gov
ernment that it intends sending troops to
Korea to suppress the rebellion.
In No. China shows her teeth for the
first time. 1t is letter from the Tsung Ii
Yamen Uhe Chinese CabineD to the Japa-
nese Minister at Peking The letter ex-
presses sunrise that Japan should send
troops to Korea when it has not been so
requested by Korea. 1t adds the following
significant language: "The sole object OF

Philadelphia Naval Veteran Association.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: There has re-
Gently been organized an association of Naval
veterans in the city, called the Philadelphia
Association of Naval Vererans, and attached to
the National Association of Naval Veterans of
the United States. Our object is to meet TO-
gether once month, after closing charter, re-
vive old memories together, celebrate the diff
ferent anniversaries of naval exploits, and
through the influence of the National Associa
ton of Naval Veterans of the United States
obtain any legislation we may require to
further the interests of naval veterans. We
are not antagonistic to any other organization
most of US being members of the Grand Army
of the Republic-but think il would be much
more pleasant for naval veterans, while retain
ing their membership in their Posts, to meet
together at least once month among navy
people, and talk over old navy affairs. And
we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming all
navy men in the Grand Army of the Republic
to our Association. The muster-fee is 81;
dues 81 per year; thus putting it within the
reach of all.
The qualifications emitting veterans to join
are good moral character, service in the United
States Navy, revenue service or Marine Corps,
any part OF the time from 1861 to 1860 inclus-
i've, and an honorable discharge.
The Association has secured very fine and
attractive Headquarters on Chestnut street.,
owned and occupied by George G.. Meade Post.
No l. and all naval veterans will be assured OF
a hearty welcome. Our regular meeting-nights,
commencing in May. will be the first and third
Fridays in each succeeding month for the
present-JACoB TEAL, Commander, Phiiadel-

ARMY AND NAVY

By an order amending the Army regulations
Gen. Schofed has carried still further the
policy of reducing the number of staff officers
at the various department headquarters, the
cut in this case falling principally upon the
inspectors of smal-arms practice Their work
will be placed on the Aids-de-Camp of the de-
partments. All OF the regimental officers now
on duty at the several department headquar
tiers as engineer and ordnance officers have
been ordered TO their regiments by Sept. 10,
and the inspectors Of sulall-arms practice will
be relieved as soon as the present season Of tar
get practice expires.
The Construction Bureau of the Navy has
prepared plans for the transformation Of the
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius into a torpedo
cruiser, and the result of the change will be to
make the Vesuvius a very pretty and comfort
able little craft. By the removal of the cum
brous dynamite guns the constructors will be
able to use the leo tons of available displace-
ment for the accommodation of a superstruct-
ure running half the length of the vessel for
ward. This will afford comfortable quarters
for the crew. and will make the vessel a much
better sea boat in rough water. Five torpedo
tubes will be put in-two on the bow, one
asteru, aud two amidshps.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: At Reunion
of the Confederate veterans of Monroe County,
W. Va, recently, there was generous display
of rebel flags. newly made for the OCCASION as
well as one old bsttle-1ag which had a history;
but not one single flag of these United States
was to be seen anywhere. The stars and bars
were on every hand the Stars and Stripes were
nowhere in sight. Now, tender associations
and memories may cluster about some old
coiors which brave Con federate soldiers have
followed through good and ILL fortune in the
war, but should not the boys of this generation
IN the South be taught that the Nations flag is
their own2 Should bloody shirt, in the form
OF newly-manufactured rebel flags, be waved
before their eyes while speakers declare the lost
cause was righteous one9
The exhibition of anarchistic flags, we are
glad to see, is forbidden. Evidently the time
has come when the making or exhibition of
the flags that were intended to represent the
destruction OF our Nation should be prohibited
by act Of Congress.

AGRICULTURAL. REPORT.
Comes.

Secretary Morton of the agricultural Depart
ment, probably will submit his annual report
in the first week Of November.
The report will undoubtedly dwell on the
economical plan pursued in cutting down ex-
penses of the various branches OF the service,
showing an alleged reduction of Ia per cent
in the expenditures during the last fiscal year
As a result, it will be claimed more than $780,
600 will be returned to the Treasury Depart
ment out of the appropriation for the fiscal
year.
In discussing the subject it will be stated
that the saving Of funds has been accomplished
without impairment to the service. and through
judicious pruning has even permitted extern
sion of certain lines of scientific work for the
benefit of agriculture. The beuifieent n1u-
ence of civil service in the Department will also
be commented on.
Another fea; ure of the report may be dis
cussiOn OF the effect of the new law placing ap-
preparations for experiment stations under
Federal supervision This action was FORE
Swallowed in the last annual report. Secretary
Morton, Assistant Secretary DabBey. and the
Director of Experiment Stations have been
engaged for some time in preparing schedules

work is S745, 600 and each station is placed

Ready-made suits have been very popular
this season, and every year the stores seem
to be getting greater varieties better ma
terials and making, with cheaper prices, so
there is every reason to believe that the popu-
larity will continue to increase. With little
alteration almost any figure can be nicely fitted,
and the suits are great Improvement on cheap
dressmaking. At the same time there is not
yet enough variety. The women's outing suits
this year were better than those of last, when
blue serge Elton jackets and plain skirts encased
every feminine creature. This year TAM gray
and black varied the monotony with cotton
suits in a great many color combinations and
different patterns.
The ready-made dress can be sold at about
half what it would cost to buy the material at
retail and have it made it up by good dress
maker. They can save two yards of goods in
the cutting by machinery, and in everything
else there is like saving.

approved one, a new s. certificate. The origi.
nal of the design was painted by Mr. Walter
Sbirlaw, the well-known American artist. The
picture itself occupies more than two-thirds of
the face area Of the note. The central figure
is an angel with outstretched wings, her feet

Representative Marriott Brosius. of PenDsyl-
vania, who was a member of Co. *, 9th Pa,
and has a brilliant war record, has come out in
the columns of that literary authority, the Con-
gresSionaI Record as poet. The matter in
question is contribution to tariff literature.
Comrade Brosius opens his discourse with q
brief dissertation on Democratic DEFICIENCIES,
then says:
81 shall not set before our unregenerate
brethren their sins of omission and commits
sion in the scarlet livery of their real turpitude,
but shall let the matters be established by
witnesses of well-approved character for tender
ness and mercy.
81 shall summon the muses., who, each in
her own peculiar field, yet all with uniform
consent aud true poetic ardor, have volunteered
to transmit the manifold delinquences which
shall engage their pens to coming generations
on wings of immortal song"
Then our comrade goes to detail in %
rhyming descriptions the short comings of the
majority. All of these are most aptly put, but
he rises to the nights in his concluding poem,
which runs as follows:
Now the South is in the saddle and the Bourbons
rule the roost,
with their outfit of free traders cranks and Coxey-
ties TO boost,
As they strive TO toppe Thrills fair temple in
day,
And sit down on Northern progress in 8 true old
Southern way.
But tie voters will be heard from ere this devils
work is done.

An echo Of the once famous Blair educational
bill is heard in speech which Representative
Blair has incorporated in the Congressional Rec
ord. The main portion Of the speech is given
to reproduction of an article prepared by Prof.
A. ID. Mayo, designed as part of the forthcom-
ing annual report Of the Bureau of Education.
Prof. Mayo asserts that while the Blair bill was
defeated it accomplishes great good in stimulat-
ing the South to the needs Of education.
and that the project of National aid to State
education will again be taken up Prof Mayo
adds; THE three coming questions to be faced
and in some decisive way settled by this Re-
public early in the second century of its ex.
istence are, first, the reorganization of labor
under the conditions and demands of modern
life; second, the obligation of the Nation to
aid, in all constitutional and practical WAYS.
in the educational training of all American
children for intelligent, moral and effective
American citizenship; third, the right and
obligation Of the American State and Nation to
legislate in the interest Of public morality for
the cxtirpation of the social righteousness
that is the eternal enemy of liberty"

The Republican Congressional Campaign
Committee has sent out over SOC. 600 copies Of the
Congressional Record containing the letter of the
President to Chairman Wilson, denunciatory
of the Senate bill. 1t will be used as the strong
est card in the Fall campaign, and Republican
members generally anticipate some remarkable
results from it, They reason that Mr.. Blaine's
charge that the Mckinley bill did not open a
foreign market for bushel of wheat or a bar
rel Of pork was one Of the causes that led to the
remarkable reversal of their political fortunes
in 1892. The present President, they think,
has done for the Democrats what Mr.. Blaine
did for the Republicans at that time.
