KOREA IN A FERMENT.
Admiral Carpenter Sends the Petrel to Che mupo-Death of the Queen Means
 Prince Pak's Return.

Washington, Oct. 12.-A cipher dis patch was received at the navy depart ment today from Rear Admiral Carpen- ter, commanding the United States fleet on the Asiatic station, reporting se- rious condition of affairs in Korea. Ad- miral Carpenter also reported that he had sent the gunboat Petrel from Chee Foo, China, to Chemulpo, Korea, the port of Seoule, the capital The Petrel left Chee Foo today. No orders have been sent by the navy department to Admiral Carpenter with reference to the Korean situation, and it is believed that the dis tribution of his fleet is entirely within his discretion. No advices from Seoule have reached the state department
 Prince Pax, formerly secretary of the interior in Korea, and now an exile, Is in Washington. He has called on Secre- tary Olney and Acting Secretary McAdoo and presented letters of introduction, but did not talk on matters affecting the Ko- rean political situation. If the report be true that the queen of Korea has been assassnated Prince Pax will probably return to his native country.

APPLAUSE, BUT NO CONVERTS
MIR. HERBERT'S SPEECH AT HUNTSVILLE
Practically the Same Old Thing, But He Was Accorded Respectful Hearing-Mr.
 StaIlings' Reply.

Huntsville, Oct. -(Special)-Hilary A. Herbert, secretary of the navy, ad- dressed a large and intelligent audience of 400 ladies and gentlemen in the opera house yesterday in advocacy of the pres ent administrations financial policy.
 One-third of the audience was ladies.
 Colonel Herbert was cordially received and his speech of nearly two hours was frequently and heartily applauded. No converts swere made that have been heard of and the effect of the speech seems only to have strengthened the faith of sound money democrats and con firmed honest money silver democrats in their belief.
 Colonel Herbert argued to show that the United States was practically a gold country in 1889 and that when 1t turned 10 silver it was the only practical bime- tallic country on the face of the earth and that the gold standard was demo- cratic doctrine.
 Last night Congressman Stallings spoke to large crowd at the court house in reply to Colonel Herbert and his two hours speech was cordially received and enthusiastically applauded all through it.

Washington, Oct. 12.--The cruiser Mar blehead arrived at Naples this morning, according to a dispatch received at the navy department, and her commander, Captain O'Nei1l, presumably found awaiting him the orders telegraphed the ship to proceed to the gulf of Alexandria. on the Syrian coast. to protect the inter- ests of American missionaries and other American citizens whose life and prop erty may be jeopardzed by the pertubad state of Armenian affairs. The state de- partment has received nothing further about the Armenia trouble from Minister Terrell.
 Robert s. Chitten and William Dulany Hunter of the state department, who were sent to establish the United States consulate at Erzeroum and Harpool, Ar menia authorized by congress in view of the religious troubles of last year, have cabled the state department infor- ma tion of their arrival at Frezibond. They were obliged to leave Constanti- nople after a long wait there without the exeauaturs for which they had ap- r,Jied tO the porte.

Few Plums to Be Pict ed.

Washington, Oct. 12-+Few appoint ments of consequence are now at the dis posal of the president, and for time at least he will be free from annoyance by political office-seekers. The selection of a successor to Judge Stewart of the United States circuit court of Oklahoma will be one of the first appointments to make. Secretary Olney will have several important matters to lay before the first cabinet meeting. the most important of which will be the~ Venezuela case. now prepared in the shape of a brief and ready for immediate action. It is the de- sire of Secretary Olney to close the affair with all the haste that diplomatic pro cedure will admit of.

 The Spectator publishes striking arti- cle on the Monroe doctrine. It says that Englshmen have no sort of objection to the true Monroe doctrine. They want no extension of territory on the American continent but rather desire that the All glo-Saxon race be left to develop it un- molested This the Monroe doctrine se- cures. Canning's keen political imagina- tion forecast the doctrine, he having been the first to propose it's principal applica- ton. The doctrine might be the founda- tion stone of an alliance between the two people, Great Britain and the United States agreeing to guarantee their pos sessions in America, applying the Monroe doctrine to all other powers. Only one serious danger to the doctrine exists. If Great Britain ever lost command of the sea, that command passing to France or Russia, the United States would find the doctrine was waste paper.

 . The London branches of the Irish league held a meeting last night to de- mand the expulsion from the party of Timothy Healy and his followers. The object has the support of the bulk of the sections of the league throughout Great Britain. Should the first conference or .the Irish parliamentary party decide to wipe out the Healyites it will find gen. eral approval abong the anti-Parnellites. The expulsion would lessen MT. Healy's power to harm the party, but will not ex- tinprfsh him

The Commodore Seized Again.

Washington, Oct. 12.-O. J. Carroll, United States marshal for the Eastern district of North Carolina, arrived here today, having been summoned by Attor- ney- Gereral Harmon, and had confer ehce with the attorney-general regard ing the filibustering expeditions in North Carolina waters, supposedly destined for Cuba.
 The steamer Commodore, which was seized as Cuban insurgent suspect, was released by Attorney General Harmon after the crew had been discharged by the United States court on the report of federal officials at Richmond that there was not sufficient evidence to hold it.
 Information received by the depart ment of justice through the state de- partment induced Attorney General liar mon to reverse his action and re-arrest the steamer, so that her officers could be tried in the federal courts on the charge of attempting to engage in an illegal ex- petition. It is an open secret that MT. Harmon is not at all pleased with the proceedings in the Commodore case and Marshal Carroll has been fully advised of the intention of the attorney-general to see that the neutrality laws of the United States are vigorously and stren- uously enforced.

Address of the Chicago Committee.

Chicago, Oct 12.-The following ad- dress has been sent out by the commit tee appointed at a mass meeting held in this city to express sympathy with the Cubans in their struggle for independ- ence:
 4.The committee appointed by the Chi cago mass meetings September 30, which were held to express sympathy with Gu bans. earnestly appeal to their fellow citizens throughout the union to call similar meetings not later than October 31, and wherever practicable to be held on that day, in order that the movement may derive the benefit of such simultane- ous action as adding to it's impressive ness. As in Chicago, so doubtless in ether cities generally, arfew citizens, with the cooperation. of the mayor, can read fly inaugurate the desired movement, and doubtless elsewhere, as here, the bromptitude and enthusiasm of the re- sponse on the part of the people will prove to be a gratifying manifestation of the universal sympathy for Cubans now braving death to achieve their in dependence. May we take the liberty of suggesting to you that you call on your mayor and confer with him as to the de- sirabilty of inaugurating a similar move ment? A number of cities have already done this, and it would seem desira ble to have all take part. Let us not say it is no affair of ours" for these men are our neighbors engaging in the same struggle and for the same principle as were the founders of this republic"

,Hanged to the Limb of an Elm.

St. Louis. Mo-, Oct. 12.-A special from Jackson, Mo, says: William Henderson, a negri, aged about 90 years, was lynched on the outskirts of that village last night. Several days ago Henderson enticed Min nie Rust, aged IA, the daughter of re- spectacle white parents, to a pasture near the village and attempted to crimi- nally assault the child. Her screams brought assistance, and the negro fled to the woods. A posse quickly captured him and he was locked up in the village jail. Early last eve-:ng a mob stormed the jail and hurried the negro off to the pasture where. he. waylaid the girl and hanged him to the limb of an elm tree. It is hardly probable that any of tne 1ynchers will be arrested.
