REVIEW OF TIE WEEK.
OLD WORLD.
Trouble Again in Coren.


\ revolt took place last week al
Seoul, the capital of Corea, during
which the prime minister and some
other officials were murdered. The
King ordered their assassination, as
il is believed in revenge for tho muir.
der OF the Queen few weeks ago.
The king and the crown prince were
compelled to take refuge in the Rus
sian legation. where they are now be-
in. sheltered 10y a corps of Russian
marines ordered TO the scene. Detach
mept # British, American and French
man I've been sent to Seoul, to
zua g interests of their respective
coll. s.. 4 new cabinet has been
formed which has decreed the eyecu-
,ion # number of the former minis
tors. 4 conference of foreign diplo-
mats has been opened at the Russian
legation in Seoul to consider the stu
alton. Everything points-and for
that matter has been pointing for a
long time--of the swift gravitation of
Of Russia. Japan once had it in her
power to hold the country, in effect,
and probably would not have been
interfercd with, for some time at least.
But she sent the wrong man there,
allowed herself to be tempted into
violence, then displayed weakness and
hesitation in dealing with the situa-
ton, and lost her advantage forever.
Now Russia holds the commanding
cards in the game, just as she always
intended to do.
The negotiation between the Italian
general and King Menelek of Abyssin-
ia results in failure as expected. The
latter demanded that the Italians
abandon the positions occupied by
them in Abyssinia and revise the
treaty of uccialli, excluding entirely
therefrom the provision for an Italian
protectorate over Abyssinia. This
was of course refused and the two
armies are again pref airing for battle.
The Italians have about 600 troops
at hand confronted by twice as many
Abyssinlans.
An immense aerolite exploded, recent
y, above the city of Madrid. Buildings
we're shaken and windows shattered.
The explosion occurred about twenty
miles above the earth. The people I'D
the suburb we're panic-stricken The
operators in the factories, the children
in the schools and the employees in the
markets rushed into the streets in a
wild stampede, believing the world to
be destroyed. Many of them threw
themselves upon the ground and com
Gended their souls to God, while others
in frenzy of terror rushed hither and
thither, crying upon the Virgin and
Saints to save them. Many persons were
injured by running into each
other or by being thrown down and
trampled upon.
The blue book on Aremenia, recently
issued by the British government, shows
that Russia from the very first refused
to cooperate with thepo wersin eNerting
pressure upon Turkey in behalf OF Are
nenia, and also declines to use force IN
that direction herself, fearing that
thereby she would assist the aim OF the
Armenian revolutionary committees
IN the establishment of an independent
which Russia would never tolerate.

Portland, Me-, March IS, 1s96.-Once
more are we called to remember that
Our days are as the grass or like the
morning flower" ''To day it flourisheth
| and groweth up and tomorrow it ia ont
down and withereth."
To-day a man flourisheth and beareth
the honors of life thick upon him; to-
| morrow he is cut down and where is he?
Yesterday, as it seems to US, our BROTH
or, j. Herbert Wright, walked in and
out before us in apparent robust health
aad strength today he lies low and
sleeps that sleep from which there is no
earthly awakening. But we know he
beyond, where no death comes and where
the sad words, "Good bye" are never
heard.
Resolved, That whereas Our Heavenly
Father has again visited our association,
and by the relentless hand of death has
removed our friend and brother, j. Her.
bert Wright, we meekly bow our heads in
submission to the Divine will which we
must obey but cannot understand.
Resolved, That our city has lost a
valuable Citizen and the social sphere in
which he moved, member loved. re-
spected, and esteemed by all whose bust
ness or social relations brought them in
contact with him.
Resolved, That the life insurance in.
terests of the State suffer serious loss in
the death of Mr.. Wright and that the
company of which he was the very eff
cient Manager loses worthy officer and
one whose place 1t will be hard to fill
as he filed it.
Resolved, That, as we meet from
month to month, we shall sadly miss
brother Wright's bright and ever cheer
full countenance as also his words of wis
dom, SO often heard at our meetings. He
almost always had something to say and
what he said always meant something,
and to listen carefully to Mr.. Wrighr's
words was to learn something.
Resolved, That we extend to the
afflicted family our heartfelt sympathy in
this their terrible bereavement and com
mend them prayarfully to the mercy of
Him who has promised to wipe the blind
ing, sorrOwing tears from the eyes of all
who will in their hour of trial, call upon
Him in faith.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu.
tions be sent TO the family of the deceased
and that copy thereof. furnished the
four daily papers, viz. Express, PRESS,
Advertiser, and Argus, and that copy
be filed with the records of the 'tMaipe
