LION BEGINS TO ROAR.
London Press Says British Diplo-
mats Do Not Appreciate
the Situation.

London, Oct. 12.-The Speaker today
the evolution of the foreign policy,
further reciting, as examples, the Nene-
zuelan and Cuban questions, III the
course of which it says: 1.-THE United
States as a great power is coming into
foreign politics and is coming to stay.
The process of evolution of American
foreign policy has been gradual but I'M
miStaKable, and in the last few weeks we
have had indications of the existence Of
aspirations which may at any moment
lead to the active participation of Amerl-
ca in a foreign war. Her Intervention III
the Venezuelan dispute is not warranted
by any treaty or precedent i'll interna-
tional law and can only be defended III
the ground that the Monroe doctrine
henceforth will be acted upon as govern
ing all the foreign policy of the United
States.
An what is more serious is that it is
not the Monroe doctrine pure and simple,
but that doctrine with a development.
Her action means that the weaker states
of America can count upon the assistance
of the United States in frontier disputes
with any European colony. The present
action undoubtedly does not go any fur
Their than the friendly suggestion that we
refer the question to arbitration, but it is
backed and supported by claims which
logically point to a declaration that inter
ference with the frontier claimed by Vene-
zuela will be regarded in Washington as
a declaration of war against the United
States. This is a serious affront and it
is TO be feared that it is not quite appre-
ciated at its proper value in Downing
street"
The article sums up the situation by
saying: Europe must understand that
the people of the United States are de-
cided first of all to prohibit, if neces-
sary with bayonet and rifle, any exter'
sion of European domination; secondly,
that popular sentiment in the United
States enthusiastically favors every in

ing that rumors were in circulation to
the effect that President Cleveland had

whether there was any basis for the
rumors. The telegraph and telephone of

that the rumor had no basis whatever.

TROUBLE IN COREA.
Admiral Carpenter Dispatches a
WarShip and a Gunboat
to the Scene.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 12.-Admiral
Carpenter, in command of the Asiatic
squadron, cabled the navy department
today that he had dispatched a gun
boat, the Petrol, from Chefoo to Che
mulpo, the seaport nearest Seoul, the
capital of Corea. The Yorktown already
has gone to Chemulpo, so that the United
States will have two ships near the scene.
of reported conflict.
According to unofficial reports the
Queens palace has been invaded by a
mob and the Queen shot. She has been
regarded as the main influence in the
progress of Corean affairs, although the
King is nominal ruler. The main signifi-
canoe of the present agitation is that it
reOpens the question of Japan's influence
In Corea. The riots are said to nave
resulted from conflicts between the Jap
anese and a~nti-Jepanese elements. Prince
PAX, who was driven from Corea for his
too-zealous adherence to the Japanese
cause, called at the navy department on
Thursday and at the state department
yesterday. These calls have been speedi-
~ followed by the concentration of ships
at Chemulpo, but it cannot be learned
that this move is due to Prince Pak's
representations. The receipt of a sipher
cable from Admiral Carpenter and the
dlspatch of the Petrol tends to confirm
the unofficial reports of riot. During the
AoSC ,uIolu1 UduCe at seoul, united states
marines were landed as a means Of pre-
serving peace and protecting American
interests, which, however, are not ex-
%tenslve beyond the United States lega-
ton presided over by Minister Sill and
the United States consulate. The state
department has not heard from it's repre-,
sentatives at Seoul.
Admiral Carpenters cipher cable said
that affairs in Seoul are in a very dis
turbed state and that an officer of what
is known as the "King's party has
taken refuge in the United States iega-
ton building. 1t is reported, Admiral
Carpenter says, that the Queen of Corea
has been assassinated. At the urgent
demand Of the United States charge DAT
flares at Seoul, Admiral Carpenter saws
the mariner guard of the cruiser York
town in the harbor of Chemulpo was sent
to Seoul for the protection of the lega-
ton and American interests generally.
The admiral also says that as a further
protection he has ordered the gunboat
Petrol to proceed from Che Foo to Che
mulpo without delay and that she start
ed this morning. The orders to the Petrol
require her to cross the Yellow sea. and
it is expected that she will cover the
distance in three days at the most.

HOLDING THEIR WHEAT.
Receipts at Duluth, Except for
Coarse Grains, Show a
Falling Off.

DuIuth. Mimi. Oct. 14.-There is no
doubt that Northwestern farmers are
holding back their wheat on account of
low prices prevailing and marketing their
coarse grain instead. For several days
past the receipts of wheat in this market
have fallen below those of last year.
Receivers say that offerings are daily
growing lighter and the daily sales here
support the statement.
On the other hand there has been q
more than corresponding increase in
coarse grains. though OF course the
Gally reports CT car inspection 40 not
show as large a total for all grain re-
celpts. During the first eleven days Of
the month h receipts of flax were equal
received during the full month of Sep
TENDER. The quantity received during
September was S16.662 bushels, which
was more tina came here during the
entire last crop year, while for the first
eleven days of October the receipts were
o2I.S!O bushels. The same proportion
prevails with regard to all coarse grains
except Y The receipts of oats for
eleven days of October nave been 5000
bushels as compared with 81, 245 bushels
during the entire month of September.
Barley receipts during October thus far
have been 356,253 bushels. while the
total for the month of September was
only 510,7U bushels.
OF course it is not reasonable to fear
that the wheat movement will continue
relatively small for any length of time.
Farmers who are ayerse to selling their
wheat for ruling prices and nave coarse
grains to sell will send the latter to
market now and hold the wheat for the
reason that coarse grains command rela-
lively much higher values in this market
a wheat. There is the further reason
that flax cannot be hold in the stack. as
wheat can. with safety from damage by
the elements.
Grain men believe that the heavy
movement of coarse grains will be prac-
tically over before the 10th of next
month. and the early closing of naviga-
ton is likely to spur shippers on to make
inducements for a larger movement of
wheat during the first half of November
if the market should demand it, which
is ontirply likely

THE VANDERBILT SCHEME.
The North Western Likely to Control the
Union Pacific.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-THE Tribune
says that ever since the famous traffic
contract was made between the Union
Pacific and the Chicago Il North-West-
ern railroads. whereby the former Sc
cured the right to dictate the through
latter the through rates from Chicago to
points on the Union Pacific west of Oma-
ha rumors have been current that the
Vanderbilts would sooner or later secure
control of the Union Pacific property.
A plan for the reorganization of the
ration and the preliminary steps already
taken indicate beyond a doubt that when
the Union Pacific gets out of the hands
of receivers it will be controlled and
operated by the Chicago & North-West-
ern, which is one of the Vanderbilt lines.

MOLTEN METAT FLOOD.
Two C~onVerterS in One of the
PittSburg Mills Are
Overturned.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 14.-Two convert
trs at the American Iron works of
Tones & Laughlin overturned at $50
o'clock this morning and sixteen tons of
molten metal poured into the pit below,
where a score or more men were at
work. One was fatally burned, three
dangerously, and four others sustained
serious injuries. The names are:
SQUIRE WATSON, widower. terribly
burned about head and body; will die.
JOHN e. BURR.
WILLIAM EDWARDS.
CHARLES FREEBORN.
WILLIAM c.. FAULKNER.
" FAILKNER.
SAMUEL LOWE.
The injured were removed to the hos
pital, where everything possible was
done to alleviate their suffering. The
physicians say Watson will die and that
the chances of recovery are against Burr,
Edwards and Freeborn.
The burns of the others are painful,
but not dangerous. The responsibility
for r@e accident has not yet been placed,
but it is said to have been unavoidable.
The damage to the mill was not very
heavy.
The accident occurred while the men
were in the act of raising converter No.
/, which contained over eight tons of
molten metal. 1t is raised by compressed
air power. Samuel Love and John Tun-
ney were working at it, and before they
got it raised the men working at con-
verter No. 2 started to raise it also.
The metal ran out of converter No. /
and the men became so excited over the
possibility of an explosion that they let
go of the compressed air machine and
allowed the converter to drop. They
came down with q crash and thew the
metal in every direction, enveloping near
~ all the men employed in that portion
of the mill.

DAMAGE BY DROUTH
It Causes a Decline in the Condition Ok
Crops.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 14.-Reporta,
to the agricultural department show s
decline in the conditions of all principal
crops, except oats, rye and barley. The
detailed summary, made public today,
shows a widespread reduction III the con,
dltion of potatoes, due largely to droutn.
The complaints of potato rot come from
the northern and more southern of the
New England states, New York. several
of the states adjoining the Great Lakes
and Missouri and Kansas. Losses from
leaf blight and insects appear to have
been exceptionally light. The most
serious complaint of the potato grower
this year is the low price of the product,
particularly in the Northwest. The re,
port from the depa rtment'S agent for
Wisconsin and Minnesota represents
that in the latter state the 'tubers do not
pay for digging" He states that the crop
will not pay for digging. In seven
states it has fallen from ) to u points.
The condition of tobacco declined over
2 points. In Ohio, where condition is the
lowest, something over half q crop is eX-
pected Il the same may be said of Mary
land and Virginia. The crops of Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut are excellent.
Conditions in New York. Pennsylvania
and kentucky approximate Il good aver
age. Drouth and frOsts of last Septem-
Der are the principal causes of lowered
condition.
The general average condition of rye is
9O.3, a decline of 4 points, due principally
to drouth.
The product of hops is returned at 800
per cent. of a full crop. The quality is
generally very good, except in Washing
ton, where the louise and mold have done
material damage.
There IS a very general falling off in
the condition of the sugar cane, due to
drouth. The effect of the severe winter
is seen in stubble cane fields. The pros
pective crop is much under that Of 1894.
Sorghum seems to have suffered but lit
tie. but in Virginia low conditions east
of the Blue Ridge reduce the general
average to so.
The continued drouth, hot weather and
high winds of September, causing pre-
mature ripening and dropping. have re-
suited in a loss of over 2 points in the
average condition of apples. The great
est loss occurred in the Central West,
where the crop was abundant. 1t is
thought both the eating and keeping
quality of the fruit had been much i'm
paired, and in many sections a tendency
to rot is already noted. Average condi-
ton now stands at 70.6.
