WHY IT is HANGING FIRE.
Justice Field Deeply Interested in
the District AttOrneyShip.
If Foote Is Not Appointed the Breech
Between the President and Aged
JuriSt Will Be Widened.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-It is suspected
in some quarters that Associate Justice
Field is taking an active interest in the
appointment of a United States District
Attorney for the Northern District of Cali
fornia. He was very much disappointed
when his man Franks was not made
United States Marshal Ithas been mat
ter of comment in Washington that Justice
Field had taken great dislike to Presi-
dent Cleveland because his recommends
tions as to California Federal appoint
ments did not, in his opinion, receive the
consideration due to his eInnence. For
while he was very bitter against President
Cleveland. and whenever il was suggested
that Justice Field was going to retire on
account of age and physical disability, the
answer was invariably made, "No, Justice
Field will hold on just as long as he can
to keep President Cleveland from appoint
ing his successor"
Cleveland humored the aged jurist. how
ever. and honored him by inviting him to
administer the oath of cfice to Secretary
Ores ham when that ca abinet officer was in
stalled 10 office. Field softened somewhat
toward the President aud was apparently
in forgiving mood until IL was time to
appoint a marshal for California. He
earnestly recommended Franks because of
his friendship for the deputy marshal
arising out of the Nagle- Terry shooting.
When the CALL correspondent informed
Justice Field that his man Franks was de-
feated he was very much disappointed and
provoked, and said some uncomplimentary
things about certain people in high Office.
He declared vehementy that Senator
White had promised TO recommend Franks
and had instead indorsed Barry Baldwin.
Senator Whites friends said at that
time. however, that he never made any
promise whatever TO Justice Field. It
was thought that Frank McCoppin's ap-
pointmens as Postmaster would appease
Jus tice Field and that he would then be
satisfied, but 1t is believed that he Is now

Liverpool yesterday for New York ar
rived at Queenstown twelve hours late.
Several vessels are ashore on the coast
of Wales. The bark Brilliant, from CUBA,
for Bremen, was driven ashore in Pools

REFORM IN KOREA.
Outline of the Programme Proposed
bV Japan.

by Japan.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Late newspaper
advices received at the japanese legation,
are to the effect that the reform programme
pre- sented to the Korean Government by
the Japanese is making satisfactory prog
ress. This programme, according to the
Kigi. was presented to the King of Korea on
the Goth of November. and was approved
by him. The propositions included among
others the following:
That the administrative power should
center In the hands of one man; court af-
fairs should be distinctly separate from the
general administration of the Countrywide
court and state affairs having hitherto
been mixed up. A sovereign Is bound
to obey the laws Of his own country.
the court should be systematically
organized; the functions and competence
of the Cabinet and the various depart
ments of state should be determined; ;
taxes should be unified by the finance de-
partments, military system should be
esta blished, aud after this has been
placed on a sound footing. the adoption OF
a navy is expected: extravagant displays
are to be done away with, it being stand
ing fault in Korea from the court to the
lowest Office to indulge in unnecessary dis
play and useless ceremoDials; a criminal
code should be enacted and the police
authorities unified; the discipline of Gov
ernment functionsries should be rigidly
enforced aDd any such practiceas that in
vogue of selling government Office must be
abolished. The authority of local officials
should be limited by statute and the power
centralized; appointment or dismissal of
Government officials should be arranged
according to fixed systems; promising
youths should be sent to study in Japan;
and the unifca tion of the national policy
is requisite in order to establish the iDde-
pendence of the country on sound basis
and effectively to reform home affairs.
The Tai Won-Kun, until recently the
aged regent of Korea and who was de-
posed for sending letters to the Chinese
generals in Pfyong-Y Yang. has apoIogized
to the Japanese representative and de-
clared, by way of showing his repentance,
that he should not take any further part
in the active politics of the country.
A difficulty at present on the horizon of
Korean politics is said tn be the Unsuitable
ambition of the Queen to interfere in state
affairs. Obliged to curb her ambition
while her inveterete enemy, the Tai Won
Kun, was at the head of the administra-
ton, she is now watching an opportunity
to regain her former position. and such an
opportunity has presented itself in the
gradual wane of the old statesman's power
and his ultimate retirement
A correspondent describes the intense
distress that the Japanese army is labor
in tha inn nf
China. The army of over 10000, the cor
respondent says, is almost on the point of
starvation. The thirst and cold is intense.
and there is no wood to cook their rice
with or water to drink. Many have been
frozen to death from their inability to face
the cold and an insufficiency of food and

CENTRAL STATION,
DEs MONIES, Iowa, July 80, 1895.
The average temperature for the
past week was about normal. Nearly
all sections of the state have had about
enough racnfall for present needs, and
considerable damage has been done by
severe local storms, companied by
wind and hail.
On the whole, however, the week has
been highly favorable for the growing
crops, and for harvesting and threshing
the ripened small grain. The oats har-
vest is about completed and threshing
is in progress, with many reports of
phenomenally heavy yields. The cut
ting of spring wheat is in pronress and
some early fields of flax are ready for
harvest.
Corn Is steadily maintaining it's lead
and bids fair to break all previous rec.
ords in the districts where the rainfall
has been ample. Potatoes and the
minor crops are doing well.
