diplomatic corps who are Informed as
to the progress OF affairs In the Orient
think Is probable, II there has been any
crisis In the Japanese cabinet as repre-
sented in recent dispatches, that II may
be due to developments made In con-
nection with the negotiations between
China and Japan, which are under
stood to be now in progress at Pekin
between the new Japanese minister
there and the Chinese authorities.
1t Is understood here that the labor Of
shaping the new relations between the
two Oriental empires embraces the fix

asylum. and to this country he is come.
He did not care to talk, merely saying:
Il am an exile from my country and
ann going to the United States after a
stay of two weeks in Japan. How long

cannot say. I am unjustly forced out
Of Corea, hut what the future will

Raleigh, N. c., Aug. Ex-senator
Marion Butler, in his speech at Con-

on President Cleveland ever heard in
North Carolina. He said:
The man who puts party above prin-
ciple Is the best tool the gold bugs
have, and the devil never had a better
servant than the gold bug. Every bond
hhis government owes England or any
other country or individual is payable
In gold or silver, at the option of the
government, and 1t says so on the face
of the bond. Yet Cleveland is going to
England to get gold when he could pay
bonds In silver. He does not pay them
in silver because he is a hireling Of the
gold bugs. i charge 1t here, and I'll
charge 1t on the floor of the United
States If he sends down his army after
me for saying 1t. II you had an honest
man for president he could make times
easier in ten days by calling congress
together to furnish relief. 1t Is not
enough to send honest men to congress.
We will never see better times till we
drive traitors out Of the white house
and get an honest free silver man for
president.

Ing at conference OF Populists. among

little girl did not notice the oncoming
train and she ran ahead of her mother
to cross the tracks. The train bore
rapidly down and the engineer blew his
whistle freely when he saw the little
figure standing between the rails. The
child seemed to become confused and
awaited her coming death without at
tempting to avoid 1t. Mr.. Hovenden
rushed forward and snatched the child
up in his arms. Before he could make
the leap that would have saved them
both, the pilot of the engine struck Mr..
Hovenden and hurled him across the

held out with some sort of stiffening, and

plain for princess of the royal house of
