affairs. No specific

has agreed to the reforms, it in suggested
hy Oorea, can go
dating condition of
statement of the re-
forms desired has b#en received as yet at
the Japanese legation her.-, but their gen-
eral tenor is knorirn and they include
changes in the system of taxation and the
removal of restricts ns on trade that now
exiist.
At this time, it Is said a1 the legation, the
agricultural and mechanical interests of
Oorea are absolutely subject to the whim
of local officials, who have it In their power
to make arbitrary regulations that cause
trouble and frequently popular uprisings.
The fiscal methods of the country are said
to need radical reforms. Japan does the
banking businetfe of the country, and t.he
government Is frequently called upon to
press the Coreans for money due tihe Jap-
anese and which, it is asserted, should
easily be collected by tlhe courts.
Japan also wants the Corean judiciary
system reformed, as tinder that now in
vogue cruel and unusual punishment is
inflicted and inquisitorLl methods prevail
to the injury of Japanese business men.
The Japanese furthermore want assurances
of greater liberty and safety of travel
throughout Corea. Japanese newspapers
received at the legation here recently show
with but few exceptions a consensus of
editorial opinion favorable to the attitude
assumed by the government in the pend-
ing controversy.
At the Corean legation the minister was
shown a copy of the dispatch. The minis-
ter does not speak FCnglish but through
his secretary he said he did not believe
Corea had done as was stated and Japan
had not the right to interfere with the in-
ternal affairs of the country. No recent
telegrams have been received at the lega-
tion from Corea.
A diplomat who is familiar with the
troubles existing between Japan and China
to-day called attention to >the fact that in
the note which the hitter country sent to
Japan, notifying her that she [China] had
sen't troops to Corea, China said in effect
that it had "sent, assistance to their tribu-
tary state." This, the diplomat referred to
said, was contrary to the declaration made
by China and Japan in the Tien Tsin con-
vention of 1885, when both countries de-
clared it to be their mutual desire to pro-
tect and maintain the autonomy of Corea.
RESOURCES OF CHINA AND JAJPAN.
Washington, July 21.—Mr. Tateno, the
Japanese minister, said to-day that he did
not credit the Shanghai report of a declar-
ation of war between China and Japan.
None of his advices has Indicated tho
probability of a conflict, and the latest
cablegrams received from his government
date back a week. Had the report of a
declaration emanated from Yokohama or
Pekin, ait or near the seat of the re-
spective governments, it miglht have some
foundation, but the fact that the report
comes from Shanghai, a long distance from
either of the above named places, and
where there are many foreigners and spec-
ulators, he said was almost convincing to
him that the rumor was incorrect.
The war rumor found no official confirma-
tion at the state department, which natur-
ally would be quickly advised of an event
of this importance l> Minister Dunn at
Tokio. Still the 'beli-f is general in offi-
cial circles that the equation is very crit-
ical, and dt would no: surprise them if it
appeared that the v> port is only prema-
tura. Consequently i "re is already some
speculation as to th• outcome of a con-
flict between these two populous nations.
Probably the war would begin at sea,
and it is thought in naval circles that the
Japanese would ha\ the advantage, ow-
ing to the fact tlhai their vessels are in
■condition for iimmedi.r • service. But as it
stands the two nation- art nearly even in
their naval strength. The Chinese navy
consists of thirty v^sela but many of
these are small and bsolfte an type.
There are five v< v' effective armored
ships built within tli - la/t twelve years,
four being battleship -Cpen-Yuen, King-
Yuen, Lai-Yuen and 'I unit-Yuen, and one,
Ping-Yuen, a coast ilefeise shdp. There
is also a wooden -hip, tlhe Tien-Sing.
These vessels are armed With Krupp guns.
The Chen-Yuen is of 7430 tons, carrying 12-
inch rifles. There e ■Nineteen cruisers
carrying Armstrong md fcrupp guns, two
torpedo cruisers and evetal gun vessels.
The Japanese navy .onsbtB of thirty-tiwo
vessels of all kinds Including five ar-
mored ships, the F'u Soo, Hi Yei, Kon Go,
Rio Jo and the Tschi odai These range in
tonnage from 1500 t 1 3<u) tons and are
anmed with Krupp ,u ;ns, lighter than the
Chinese battleships c-'ry« There are four-

and i half dozen corvettes and a few
training shins.
Hut this balance of resources does not
ext.-nd to the army, In which China has
an enormous admntage In numerical
strenmh. In times of peace china's army
numbers 300,000 to Japan's 73,000, but on
a war footing the Chinese strength is one
mll'llon, while the Japanese forces under
like conditions number only 230,000 troops
with 29,f>00 mounted police.
In view of th-se flffures, military experts
here believe that while Japan might ob-
tain a temporary advantage in the early
stages of a war with China, she would be
very likely to be ultimately overwhelmed
by sheer force of numbers.
MA'iMN1^ LAlN DEP.
Yokohama. .Japan, July 21.—The Coreiin
government has consented to the reforms
proposed by Japan.
British and United States marines have
been landed at Seoul, the capital of Corea,
in Order to protect the Rritlsh and United
States legations respectively.
China has requ- - ;ed that Japanese war-
shiips l>e not allowed to enter th Chinese
treaty ports. Japan, replying to the re-
quest of China in regard to Japanese war-
ships, says that she maintains the right
to enter these ports at any time.
Tho attitude of the population generally
Is warlike. It has been learned here that
12,000 Chinese troops have received orders
to proceed with all possible dispatch to
Corea.
FURTHER ADVICES.
San Francisco, Cal., July 21. — Advices
from Yokohama received to-day on the
steamer City of Rio de Janeiro state that
on June 3 the Corean minister to Japan
called on the Japanese minuter of for-
eign affairs and announced that he was
about to take his leave to report *o his
government the feeling and policy of Japan
toward Corea. At about the same time, as
a result of a cabinet council attended by
the emperor of Japan, the Japanese gov-
ernment dispatched Kato Masao, chief
councillor of the foreign ofllce, to Corea as
a special messenger of the government.
He carried full Instructions to the Japan-
ese minister in Corea.
The native press reports that 'the at-
tempt to induce Otorl, Japanese minister at
Corea, to withdraw the Japanese troops
having been unsuccessful, Viceroy Li of
China telegraphed directly >to Count Ito,
asking Mm to withdraw the troops and
that it was this extraordinary request that
caused the meetings of "the Japanese
council In the presence of the emperor on
June 22 and 23. It is claimed that the
Japanese government decided to positively
refuse the request. There are reports that
Russia and France are ready ito interfere
in the event of serious trouble.
Relative to 'the rebellion, the native pa-
pers report the rebels are more than hold-
ing their own in Genshu, and that they are
so powerful .Chat the weak government
troops da re not attack them. A Corean
newspaper of June 16 announces warlike
preparations by the 'Chinese in Seouo and
Junchan. T • officers of Japanese troops
sent to Oorea, :It is said, 'have been in-
structed if the Chinese should show the
slightest sign of attack they must be pre-
pared not to stand on the defensive, but to
attack and put the enemy t>» route. Tho
enemy's commanders have instructed their
j#o!'d'iers to be prepared for engagement at
a moment's notice.
The conditions laid down by the Japanese*
government are salid to be -to the following
effect:
That it >is out of the question that both
Japan and China should co-operate, eiUher
with regard to the suppression of the
rebels or a reform of politicjul affairs, rail-
way management, etc., so as to make
Corea a purely independent country, which
is ncessary for maintaining the balance of
power in the Orient. Consequently If
China wouid not agree to the plans now
in course of negotiations Japan would have
to carry out these things herself.

A PUT-UP JOB.
A Boy's Back Painted With Iodine Shown
In Court as the Result of a Whipping.
Guthrie, Ok., July 21.—At Perkins some
days ago Miss Jennie Pregmyer, a young
lady school teacher, whipped a boy named
Hadden. The boy went home and the next
day his parents declared he was sick in
bed and had been injured by the teacher.
The father swore out a warrant for the ar-
rest of the teacher for assault. Her trial
came off yesterday and the boy was shown
in court with a score of what appeared to
be terrible bruises running across his neck
and around on the ribs. The young lady
was about to be bound over to the grand
jury when a local physician came into the
courtroom out of curiosity. He looked at
the boy's back, examined it carefully and
went on the stand and swore that there
not a sign of a bruise on the boy's back,
the marks having been painted with iodine.
The boy's father jumped out of the window
and escaped, and no trace of him can be
found.
TWO DQ3A1D, TWO DYING.
Paterson, N. J., July 21.—Reno Baker, 6
years old, and Nellie, 3 years old, are dead,
and Mrs. M'orinus Baker and Mjrs. Isabel
Daugenlberg are dying from the effects of
cherry beer, which they drank last night.
Mr. Baker had sent to a nearby grocery
store for a bottle of cherry beer and
the women and children drank it. A short
time afterward all were seized with spells
of vomiting and one 'by one they became
helpless. The children were the first to
suiccuirnlb. Coroner WW ley is of the opinion
that the poison was generated by the cher-
ry bark, lie will hold an autopsy.
WEATHER AND CROPS.
Livingston, Polk Co.—A fine rain Sat-
urday evening.
Bryan, Brazos Co.—A slow rain, just the
thing needed, fell here Saturday.
Rosenl>ergf Fort Bend Co.—A good rain
here Saturday Insures a good cotton crop.
Nacogdoches, Nacogdoches Co.—A slow
rain, lasting several hours, fell Friday, ft
appeared to 'be general and will do great
good.
Alice, Nueces Co.—It Is still very dry in
this section, no rain having fallen within
the past six months. Poor prospects for
cotton crops.
Angleton, Brazoria Co.—Cool and cloudy;
crops doing finely. The many acres of land
planted this season to cotton promise most
satisfactory yields.
Glidden, Colorado Co.—A fine rain fell
here Saturday insuring a good cotton crop.
Corn never known to be better, and fann-
ers are saving all the forage they can.
Belton, Bell Co.—ft has been threatening
to rain here for several days, but only very
light showers have yet fallen. Saturday
enough rain fell to lay the dust. A. good
rain now would be of vast benefit to the
cotton crop.
Goldthwaite, Mills Co.—A good rain fell
here Friday evening. It has been showering
over the county for several days. Cotton
was needing it badly. A good deal of the
stubble land was planted in cotton but un-
less there is a late season it will make
nothing,
<Jonzales, Gonzales Co.—Ganzales and vi-
cinity were visited by a glorious rainfall
Saturday even in-; and the cotfton raisers
are Jubilant. The rain began falling about
3 o'clock and contln»-d for about three-
quarters of an hour, during which time at
least two inches of rain fell, which is of
incalculable value just at this time.
Vel'asoo, Brazoria Co. Reports received
from nearly every neighborhood (in Brazo-
ria and Matagorda counties show conditions
favorable for all crops, especially cotton
and sugar. Weather here has been misty
and warm for several days. Many farmers
up with their crops are opening new land
for next year and large bodies or prairie
are bung fenced oft into ^maii farms.

lull" of 1 per cent. Where the loss by
abrasion does not exceed that per centage
tliH same oodn is also a lawful payment 1k>
tho public. rPhe probability, therefore, is
that the recent exports to Europe have
not averaged more than 2tJX.70, and would
therefore be suftldlent to dominate the
margin of profit from the exportation, as
the business is based upon the assumption
that the coin will be of full weight, and
the banker draws his bill on L*ondon at
4 548 and negotiates exchange in Paris on
bondon at 25f, 10c, to complete the trans-
action.
