"PHILANTHROPY" THE THEME
For Yesterday and Today Before the Con-
ference at Battle Creek

Battle Creek, Mich, Oct. 15.-The sub
feet of municipal reform excites greater
interests thus far than anything discuss
ed before the Civic-Philsnthropic con-
ference. The position of Mayor Jones
OF Toledo is especially endorsed. He ar
CUES that all contract work should be
done away with, for the contractor 5
pay must either come out of inferior
work or inferior wages. Money spent
with the contractors, he holds, goes
from the people instead OF TO the peo-
pie.
philanthropy was the subject for
today ard tomorrow. At today's first
session a paper on 'What to do with
ex-Convicts," was read by Rev. ]. P.
Maveely of Jackson. Said he:
The convict is a branded man. No
one wants anything to do with him He
is with US and we must do something
for him. He must either be put in help

removed from his conditions. They
must be given employment

INDEPENDENCE OR DEATH
Besides This, Cuba Desires Neither Anton.
Omy Nor Annexation.

London, Oct. 15.-Colonel Jose Zayas,
who says he is accredited by the Palma
Cuba junta of New York, as minister
pienipotentary to Great Britain from the
Cuban republic in an interview is quot
Ell as expressing the belief that the war
in Cuba will not last another year.
Spain, says Colonel Zayas, cannot
finance the campaign, and should have
accepted the insurgents offer Of $780,
OO0, 900 for the island, under the guaran-
tee OF the United States.
Colonel Zayas does not anticipate as
slstance from the United States. All
that the Cubans desire, he says, Is fair
play and the recognition Of bellgerent
rights, so that they can secure the
necessary supplies for their troops.
In conclusion, Colonel Zayas Is quoted
as saying:
There is no truth whatever in the
opinion expressed in England that the
Cubans desire annexation to the United
States. We are fighting for independ-
ence, and do not banker after annexa-
ton. which will not be the outcome Of
the struggle. There Is not the least like
lihooc Of the Cubans accepting au-
tonomy. Independence or death is our
motto"

COREA AN EMPIRE
HERMIT KINGDOM DEFIEITIVELY
SETS UP FOB ITSELF.

Something More in the Change Than =
Change of Titles From King to EN-.
peror and Kingdom to Empire-lt
Means That Chiua's Historical Claim to
Suzerainity Is Denounced and That
Russia and Japan may Well Keep
Their Itching Fingers to Themselves
What Russia Would Like to DO.
Washington, Oct i5.-The Corean le-
CATION received an official cable today
stating:
King proclaimed himself emperor
from this date. October Is. 1887"
The transition which Corea thus
makes from kingdom to empire is felt
to have considerable significance in ORR
entail affairs, although the cable 10 the
legation gives no details OF the change.
and the officials here are without any
information as 70 the cause leading ~
to it. 1t is understood, however. to be
a part of the progressive policy on which
Corea has embarked, following the lead
OF Japan and China. The king is a
member OF the progressive party and
shares the wish % that party TO bring
Corea up to modern standards. The OPP
position element is known as the Con-
sentative party, and is DESTROYS OF pre-
serving the old traditions and govern
mental system OF the country. Mr.. Son,
who recently died here, was the leading
figure OF this progressive element, while
the Corean minister is a member OF the
Conservative party. The last step taken
by the king, in proclaiming himself en-
peror after today, is regarded as a final
stroke Of the progressive and modern
element.
The change also has another aspect.
China dong has asserted a suzerainty
over Corea, and il was this claim tina
| brought on the China-Japan war. While
the claim is dormant, yet China never
has relinquished what she has regarded
as en- hereditary sovereignty over Co.
res. With the latter country as a king
dom, some apparent assent was given IL
the claim OF an imperial authority in
China, but with Corea herself advancing
to the rank OF an empire She throws of
every evidence of dependence on any
outside power. This Independence would
apply also TO Japan and Russia. which
have been seeking 10 gain influence and
control in Corea, owing 10 that country's
extensive coast line, and valuable har.
| bors, on the north Pacific. To Russia
in particular the acquisition Of Corea f,
Pacific coast line has been regarded As
| OF great strategic Importance, as Rus
sia's present ports on the Pacific are
closed by ice during the winter, willis
these of Corea are open the year
around. The advance made by Russia
and japan in Corea have led TO much
conflict between the two countries. the
last move being a protest by Japan
against the assignment Of Russian off,
GERS to drill the Corean army. With
Corea an empire, il is felt that she gives
unmist akable evidence to other aspiring
ma atoms that she has no intention OF be
coming absorbed by. or a petty kingdom
of. any other empire, but will exercise
imperial authority herself.

DIAMOND DYES AHEAD.
Women Know by Practical Experience
That IL Is Easy to Dye With Diamond


It's the easiest matter in the world to
dye with Diamond Dyes, as thousands OF
women know from practical experience.
BY using these simple home dyes, one
can make old clothing look like new and
save a great many dollars in the course
Of a year.
Dc not accept limitations OF the origina!
Diamond Dyes from any dealer, no mat
ter how strongly he may recommend
them, for while he can make a larger
profit On them they do not dye as much
as the Diamond, nor equal them in fast
ness of colors. When poor dyes are used,
both your money and labor are thrown
away ard the goods are spoiled forever.
Use the Diamond Dyes only and get re-
suits that are equal 70 those Of the pro-
fesSiOnal dyer.

S. Louis, Oct. ia special 10 the
Post-Dispatch from Chelsea, l. T, says;
Today there is in session at Forty
Mile Creek, forty miles south of here,
one Of the largest meetings Of full-blood
Indians that has been assembled togeth-
er for many years. Not only the entire
Cherokee community Of full-blools, but
the full4bloods of all other tribes sur
rounding are there.
THE purpose Of the meeting is 10 set
lie the question Of quitting the land Of
their birth that now confronts the five
tribes Of Indians. They will also pre-
pare reasons why heir government
should not be abolished and present il to
she senatorial subcommittee soon TO
visit here. The proposed emigration 10
Mexico will be full discussed and il is
probable that the Indians viii come 10 a
hnal decision today as TO whether they
will dispose Of their homes and go to
the Mexican country or remain here and
take the consequences.
Judge Jesse Cochran, member Of
ton, also a prominent full-blood leader,
passed through here on his way to
Forty-Mile Creek TO attend the gather
Ing there. He had come from Ocmulgee,
the Creek capital, where a number of
other Cherokees have been trying to in
fuence the Creek council, now in SEES
sion, not to ratify the late Dawes-Creek
agreement. He brought the information
eTbout the Forty-Mile gathering, and
added:
I do not think the Creek council will
ratify the late agreement made with the
Dawes commission, as it provides for
many things that are detrimental to
that tribe, but 10 not think the Indians
will migrate 10 Mexico. II is merely the
scheme Of land syndicate wishing TO
dupe the Indians. The chief purpose Of
the meeting, as I understand it, is TO
prepare reasons to present 10 the sena-
torial subcommittee, soon 10 arrive
here, why our government should not be
abolished. Unless we treat these repre-
sentatives of the United States courte-
ously they will return to Washington
and report against US. The Indians have
no friends in the Dawes commission and
It is we'll to court friendship with these
senator's"
IN THIS CONNECTION.
