manding the department Of the east are
carried out, 10000 regular soldiers and
national guardsman will engage in an
annual manoeuvre on the famour Bull
Run battlefield, beginning September
%. The lateness OF the date may inter-
fere with present intentions but has
been fixed by the farmers in and about
Manassas Junction, Virginia, as the
earliest time they will permit their
fields TO be tramped down. They have
agreed to rent their lands for the man
oeuvres at fifteen cents an acre.
Good water and excellent transpor-
tation facilities have brought about the
selection Of Manassas. General Cor
bins idea Ia to have 5000 regulars and
at least the national guard forces OF
New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
West Virginia, District Of Columbia,
North Carolina, Maryland, Delaware,
New Jersey and Connecticut, aggregat-
ing $4,000 men. This would furnish
the largest army ever in war game in

Toxic, March 2S.-U.ondon Times. }
The visit of Marquis Ito to Korea
seems, according to reports emanating
from official circles here, to have pro-
duced excellent results as all of the re-
forms advocated will be carried ont at
once. They are first, the extension of
a complete educational system through
out the peninsula; second fixing in alb
solute terms the responsibility of all
ministers; third, pledging the emperor
to abstain from all acts OF petty inter
ference in the various departments;
fourth, the promotion Of cooperative
harmony between all officials with "a
view of softening ponrical disputes.
On parting from the emperor, his
majesty asked Marquis Ito to regard
Korea in the future as his home, and
to establish a summer villa near the
royal palace.
The lower house of the Japanese
diet has passed with slight modifica-
tiOns all of the war tax revenue meas

ing the salt and silk industries. These
measures provide the fifty million dol

the river toward Columbia Centre, a
small village three miles below Liver

near Liverpool, who quickly sounded
the alarm and notified all points down
the river by telephone Of the impending
danger.

miscreant set fire to it. The blaze
