VOICE OF THE PRESS.

We shall have no trouble with
Spain. Everything will be condoned.
The Virginius outrage beat 1n ~
affair hollow, and we overlooked IL.
We are cheap lot. Everybody
snubs us. We haven't spirit enough
to take San Domingo, or Hawaii, or
Cuba, upon the fairest offer or pro-
vocation. We are stinkards, we
should say, if that wouldn't be libel
ous.- Portland Oregonian.
No statement by MIR. Cleveland,
SAYS the New York Press, whether
made in the form of a newspaper
interview or given out in an official
proclamation, can disguise the es-
sentielly, cowardly infamous Hawai-
ian policy OF the Cleveland admins
tration, or relieve the president OF
responsibility for the outbreak OF the
recent instruction in favor Of mon
archv and British interests. One OF
the most venerable members OF the
house of representatives stated the
literal truth when he declared on
Saturday that ''the blood of Charles
l.. Carter is on the lintels of the
White House."
There seems to be no doubt that
Gresham, whose temper is too wasp
ish for diplomatic station, has ask
ed for the recall of Minister Thurston
because he does not like him. Of
course, Thurston will have to go, be-
cause his own government will
recognize that his usefulness Is at an
end, however capable he may be, aud
however faultless his conduct, since
he has gained the open i'll will OF our
secretary of state. In diplomatic re-
lations, persona non grata" is an
Indictment of no answer or defense.
Minister Thurston's friends in con
gress are inclined to take up the
cudgels for him, however, and to
insist that Gresham had no right to
dismiss him without consulting con-
gress. This contention will hardly
hold, although the champion ship of
congress may give comfort to Thurs
ton and his government.-Portland

regular or sound.
He set the example of using
weak courts, in the manipulation
of stocks, and his successors
brought out a class of attorneys
who, without conscience, put the
courts in their pockets and estab-
lished the order of political judges.
Mr.. Shearman afterwards defended
Mr.. Beecher in the suit brought
against him by Theodore Tilton,
and remained his staunch friend
until the time of his death.

T. G. sHEARMAN's RECORD.

T. G. Sherman, the man who
recently made a bitter attack on
the missionaries, and on the scheme
of annexing these islands to the
United States, was, in former years
the law partner Of David D. Field,
one of the most eminent lawyers of
New York City. At the time when
"Jim" Fisk and Jay Gould came to
the front as railway operators, in
1866, and gobbled up the Erie
Railway Company. they secured the
services of Field& Sherman as legal
counsel. The history of the fraud
ulent capture of that great property,
the wreck they made of it, the
ruin of thousands of investors, the
corruption of the law courts, forms
a curious chapter in crime. In
spite of the efforts of the stock
holders of the road, Fisk and Gould
had it in their grasp for several
years through the power of the
courts. Barnard, a justice Of the
Supreme Court, was their friend
and ally. It was in the days of
the Tweed ring" and Tweed, for
Doodle, cast all of his influence in
favor of the railroad wreckers.
Barnard treated with contempt
the orders and DEGREES of
other judges, and punished with
fine and imprisonment all attempts |
to reverse his orders.
While Shearman was active, Wig
liant, and utterly unscruplous, in
using the judgments and orders
made by Judge Barnard, it was
not believed that he attempted
to personally corrupt the Court.
He knew that the "Court was with
him." always, but just how that
bar money was secured, he never
cared to inquire about.
Justice was finally done; Bar
nard was convicted, on impeach-
ment, by the Senate of the State of
New York, and ended his life in
retirement and disgrace. The Erie
railway was finally handed back to
It's stockholders, after it had been
burdened with a debt of many
millions. Fisk was murdered by
Stokes, the present proprietor of the
Hoffman House, New York city.
Gould died a millionaire at the
early age of fifty-four. The law
yers of the United States, in many
ways, showed their contempt of
Field and Sherman, and at one
ime, they were put on their defense,
~ the Bar Association. Mr.. Shear
mans defense was that he did not
corrupt or bride the
ourts, and no one could say that ,
10 knew that the courts were
ribed. He could not, therefore,
e convicted of being a party to
ny bribery; at the same time, it
as certain that he felt that through
,me mysterious influence, he had
lie court on his side, even when he n
'ked for orders and judgments, d.

lieve that other governments
will be willing to accept a "dog
in the manger" policy and
| allow the Pacific to be without
a cable? Do the Senators for
one moment imagine that the
Nicaragua Canal will continue
to exist merely in the magma
ton of the world and as a
channel only for paper ships?
We know not. Hawaii is in
terested in both schemes to a
very great extent becausethere
is no doubt that her commerce
will be increased by the COM
pletion Of one Or both of the

only locality to be benefited.
The United States, particularly
the States along the eastern
and western seaboard will pro-

teen others convicted of taking part
in the Hwasang mas acre were put to
death this morning at Kucheng The
execution was witnessed by the For

turbance.
The Herald has the following from
Seoul: The Kings father, who is
welding supreme power, is still inn
prisOning those whom he believes to
be his enemies. The King, whose
authority is completely overshadowed,
is in fear of his life, and the thirty
four representatives here of foreign
powers have been asked to unite in

SHANGHAI, Oct. 22.-Private ad
vices from Kin Chow say the dis
aster to the steamer Kun Pal occurred
in the morning of October 14th about
twenty miles from Kin Chow. Cap
tain Soden, the first and second mates,
first and second engineers and one
passenger are dead.
The were 700 soldiers aboard when
the first powder explosion occurred,
setting the vessel on fire. The crew
worked hard for half an hour to eXtin
guish the flames, when there was
second explosion, which almost
wrecked the vessel.
The captain and the chief officer,
who were wounded in the first eXplO-
sion, tried to get a boat lowered, but
the soldiers, rushing pellmell to the
davitts, broke it away and the boat
was smashed by heavy sea.
The survivors, who were the third
engineer and 200 soldiers, remained
with the wreck for seventeen hours.
Twenty-seven of the wounded were
brought to land and were placed in
the hospital at Kin Chow The vic
Tins presented dreadful appearance.

the treaty of peace the Chinese Plen-
ipotentiaries amended the first article
by inserting tie words land Japan"
in the first line, so it reads, "China
and Japan recognize" etc.
On the 10th of April the japanese
Plenipotentiaries submitted their re
ply, in which they decline to accept
this amendment and find il neces-
sary to adhere TO Article l "a Origi-
nally presented" They repeat the
same refusal in their ultimatum.
In the treaty of peace as finally
signed on the 18th of April, Article l
appears, word for word, as it was orig
iually submitted by Japan and as
above quoted. Nor is there anything
in any part of the treaty that may be
construed as a recognition of the inde-
pendence of Corea by Japan.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Mrs. John L
Waller, wife of the former United
States Consul to Madagascar, arrived
in this city today on the Dutch steam
ship Amsterdam. She was accom-
panied by her three daughters and
young son. She said that she could
add but little 10 the reports already
made public of her husbands cOnfne-
ment in the prison at Marseilles.
"There is one thing l would like to
say, however, Mrs. Waller said.
" EN- bassadOr Eustis has been harshIy
criticized for not aiding Us as much as
he might have done. There is no truth
in that report. The whole trouble lay
with Robert Cambell, my husbands
predecessor. He promised me to cable
the authorities at Washington, asking
for their assistance, but, instead of
doing so he wrote, thus causing me
an Unnecessary delay of nearly three
r1Onths.
81 shall go to Washington at once
and there try to make arrangements
for my husbands release. He is most
uDjustly imprisoned
Mrs. Waller says hat if Mr.. Waller
had not been detained at Tamatave
by Consul Wetter, who unwarrant-
ably questioned some of her husbands
official acts, Waller would not have
been arrested.

MINISTER KURINo TALKS.
\ statement of Japan's Policy Toward
COrea.


NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-Last Friday
Mr.. KuriuO, the japanese Minister
furnished for publication a statement
concerning the policy of Japan toward
Corea, in which, among other things,
he said: ''The treaty of ShimOnOseki
signed by Japan and China, recOg
uized the independence Of Corea, and
Japan has fully complied with the
lett.r and spirit of that treaty.
Reference TO the official print of the
record shows that Mr.. KufiuO is cor
rect so far as China i concerned, out
there appears to be nothing in the
treaty which can be construed as
recognition of the independence OF
Corea by Japan. The first memOran-
da which the PlenipOtentiaries OF
Japan submitted to those from China
at the conference concerning the terms
of peace on the 1st Of April CONTAINS
the following:
HArticle /. China recognizes, def
nitely, the full and complete indie
pendence and autonomy of COrea, and,
IN consequence, payment of tribute
and performance of ceremonies and
fOrmalities toy COrea to China, in dero
CATION of such independence shall
cease for the future"
In the reply of China to this prOpO-
sitiOu, submitted April 9TH, occurs the
following language: The Chinese
Government some months ago indi-
Gated its Willingness to recognize the
full and complete independence of
Corea, and guarantee the complete
neutrality of Corea, and is ready to
insert such stipulations in the treaty.
But, in due reciprocity, such stipula-
tiOns should likewise be made by
Japan." And in her cOunterdraft OF

Will-The Nicaragua Canal Report.

CARACAS (Venezuela), Oct. 17.-For
week the greatest activity has pre-
vailed here, troops being hastily
rushed in all directions. 1t is claimed
that revolutionary expedition is now
off Oruba preparing to land men and
arms. Arms from Buenos Ayres are
reported to have been landed on the
coast Sunday.
A renewed protest has been sent to
the Dutch authorities at Curacao
against allowing cOnspirators against
Crespo to meet and conspire there
publicly. Already there have been
fights at CorO, Valencia, Areu and
Barinas, and a considerable revolu-
tionary force is now reported as being
near the city of San Carlos. The
government is afraid to send troops
from this city as riots are threatened
here and the troops at this garrison
are reported to be mostly dissatisfied
President Crespo is afraid to move
unless surrounded by guards. His
reorgauized cabinet threatens to re-
sign, which but increases the great
disorder. Government officials call
public attention to claim that they
have received news from the United
States that the government will sus
tain the Crespo administration. The
question of asking for prOte ctOrate
by the United States over this cOun
try is being urged and openly dis
cussed.
At Areu Monday morning at day
light government troops were at
tackled and surprised, and after a
short but decisive combat the rebels
entered the town, the government
troops retreating pursued by the
rebels, who were trying to provoke
another fight. Colonel MateO, who
new government for Areu. At the
same time another rebel force under
Colonel Sam Martin attack ed COro,
but the garrison there drove the as
sailants back. Several more attacks
were made during the day with the
same result, but the next day at noon
the rebels forced the troops to evacu-
ate the town, many troops deserving
and joining the rebels. On Tuesday
afternoon there was rising among
the troops garrisOning Valencia, but
after stubborn fight the riOtors were
forced to leave the town, which they
yet beseige, being re enforced.
the commander of the garrison sent
repeated requests here for re- enforce
ments, saying he would have TO sur
render unless aided soon. AT Barinas
on Monday the garrison mutinied, and
after locking the officers inside the
guardhOuse, proclaimed in favor of
the revolution. Troops, it is said,
committed many eXcesses, and are
believed to have killed their officers.
A rebel force of over $50 is now
threatening San Carlos. Their COM
mander, Colonel Petri, says that when
expected re endorsements arrive he
will march on this city.

mated by the Maritime Canal Com

UNITED STATES AND CUBA.
The Administration Not Ready to
Recognize.

The Administration Not Ready to
Recognize.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1S-A Washington
special to the Times Herald says
Cuba was under discussion in the
Cabinet today The discussion lasted
nearly three hours. 1t Is believed q
definite policy as to Cuba was agreed
upon, and that inquiry on the part of
the United States into the condition
of affairs in Cuba will be recon- mended
to Congress. While it is generally
believed that an order was issued to-
day for the preparation of dispatch
proposing such an inquiry to the
Spanish Government, no confirmation
thereof can he had in Cabinet circles,
where unusual reticence is found.
During the last week Secretary
Olney has been in conference with
two or three Ministers from South
A merican countries who are eager to
further the movement for recognition
of the belligerent rights of the insur-
gents. These Ministers want the
United States to agree to joint action
with a number of South American
republics Brazil is one of the
leading spirits in this movement and
stands ready to recognize belligerency
whenever the United States Will do
so, though Minister Mendonca said
today it was not true Brazil had al
ready accorded recognition To Cuba.
Secretary Olney has informed these
Ministers that il is not the policy of
the Administration TO recognize the
belligerency of Cuba at the present
time.
