YOKOHAMA , Aug. 124 , ( Special Corre-
cporidcncc of the Associated Press , per
Ht amer Peru. ) Since the last dispatch of
news to America circumstances have oc-
curied which throw much llcht on the long-
disputed question as to which side In the
ar was favored by the king of Corca. Tito
lower classes In that country have no
opinions on political mtbjccts. If tlio middle
class have any thy are not allowed to
L'xprres them. liven the aristocracy has
learned the necessity of keeping silent If
their views are opposed tu these ot the
governing body.
The only voice hitherto heard has been
that of the ministry , a corrupt monarchy ,
composed of the Ming family and tliclr de
pendents , who are completely under the
control of China. It has been to their In-
tcicst to represent that the sovereign was
heartily In accord with them and until the
last few weeks their assurances to this
effect hav been generally accepted as true.
The queen , who Is a blood relation of the
Mings , Is undoubtedly under the Influence
of China , and as she Is understood to be
Krcatly superior to her consort In Intellect
and forc. of character her power to Impress
her Ideas upon him huvlj been easily
credited. That the Mings acted really In
tlic king's name and with hlH sanction was
not seriously questioned up to the time
when the Chin u diplomatic agent In Seoul
deserted his post and left the court free
from surveillance.
DISPOSED THE POWEHFUL MINGS.
Then the Japanese envoy received a mes-
faga from the king's father , supesllnfc that
If an Interview could be arranged In the
palace his son could be Induced to recognize
the Justice and friendliness of the Japanese
without much difficulty. The king's father ,
ofuclally known ua the Tal Won Knn , was
nt one time the. reg > nt of the country , but
through Intrigues of the Mings was deposed
nornc ten years ago nnd condemned to n
long captivity. After his liberation he was
forbidden to approach the court , but that tin
kept a watchful eye on the conrsa of i vents
In proven by the accuracy of his statement
respecting the sovereign. The Japanese
envoy at once Insisted upon mtetlng the
monarch personally and under conditions
that should enable him to speak his mind
without restraint. Ilelng denied thla privi
lege by royal advisers he determined to
picsnt himself with an armed escort sent
from Ihe Jiipaneso forces outsldo of the city.
As this small guard pat-Kcd by the palace on
the way to the envoy's residence It was
fired upon by Corean soldiers In the service
of the Mings. Thnso shots settled tlio fate
of the ministry. The native troops were
dispersed with scarcely a Btruggle. and an
hour later the representative of Japan was
In amicable conversation with the sovereign ,
who did not hesitate to declare that he had
been under coercion over since the beginning ;
of the Imbroglio with China , and that ho
was far from fecllnf : the hostility toward
Japan which his government had publicly
Attributed to him. In token of his sincerity
lie hnd already ridded himself of his late
council and summoned the Tal Won Kun to
nsslst him In forming n new ministry. Be
fora the day was ovtr : i cabinet made up ot
r.nlleal opponents of the Ming faction had
been Installed , with Tnl Won Kun as prime
minister , and a committee of seventeen to
reorganize the administration system and
reform the national laws upon a basts recom
mended by Japan. Puch activity and energy
had never before been witnessed since the
foundations of the Corean monarchy were
laid.

KINO PROVED HIS FIUENDL1NESS.
Th ? extraordinary promptness of Jho king
In assenting to every proposition put forward
by the- Japanese envoy might have laid him
open to the suspicion ot seckltii ; merely to
conciliate the new commissioners and to
iiv.rt their animosity by unconditional sub
mission hut for the discovery of an action
on his part entirely Inconsistent with pny
secret sentiment of 111 will. Aa soon as the
outgoing cabinet had left the palace , and
without walling lo consult Ills new council ,
lie called togctlr.r the commanders of the
few remaining troops at his disposal and
ordered them Instantly to join Ihe Japanese
nrmy on Iho way to attack the Chinese at
Yashan , Ho was not Instigated to do this
by anybody. No one expected It of him , and
no ono was more surprised than the Japanese
rcpiesentattvo when ha heard of It. To sup-
pora that the king was actuated by motives
ot policy would b ? to credit him with a sa
gacity which ho certainly docs not possess.
The universal belief In his lack of spirit and
cleverness seems to bo well founded. His
demonstration Is explained rather as signi
fying his delight at being relieved from an
Irktomo restraint , and bis determination to
"get even" In some way with the men who
tuid kept htm for years In leading strings.
Hut It effectually destroys Hie old story that
lie had nothing but hatred for the Japanese
tnd would resist to the utmost every attempt
of Japan to establish her Influence In the
lienlnsulu.
Since the day that he came In contact
\vllh the envoy ho has shown every disposi
tion lo co-opcrato as far as lie was able with
the mov menti for Corea's regeneration.
When the Japanese army returned victorious
to Seoul , bringing wltli them tlio captured
arms and standards , he sent a deputy to
welcome and congratulate them. H' has ap
pointed n commissioner to visit Japan'and
thank the emperor for the promise of peace
ind a stable government to his country , nnd
be has formally rcnounc-d Iho suzerainty
Df China and proclaimed his Intention to as-
lert his Independence and equality In all
future do.tllngs with thut nation. Unless
Japan falls utterly In the war , the vassalage
Df th past will never bo renewed.
HEFOHMS DEMANDED DY JAPAN.
The political and social reforms which
lapan demands are designed not only to
prevent China from Interfering hereafter ,

dition and to prepare the country for the

CHICAGO , Sept. 6. The trial of President
Dabs and other A. H. U. olllclals was re
sumed today with ! : . M. Mulford of the
WcMern Union Telegraph company on the
stand. Mr. Mulford read a largo number cf
messages i-eut and received by the A. K. U.
people during the strike. They were prin
cipally cf a routine nature , giving Instrue-
lions , urging the men to "stand pat , " and
asserting that the general managers were
beaten. One of the telegrams received es
pecial attention from the government attor
neys. It was addressed to C. II. Herman of
Denver , Instructing him to "pay no atten
tion to court Injunctions. " Mr. Mulfotd mule
an attempt to Identify Dabs' s.gnature. but
his effort was not very satisfactory. Much
time was taken by the government In de
veloping the Western Union's system of de
livery and allowing that ulegiamti rccclv.d
hero reached the A. It. U. olllclals.
Attorney Gregory , for the. defense , raised
the point that the power of thei court was
restricted to the district in wn'lcli It was
silting , and , thcrcfoie , It could not puaUh
Debs because something vlolatlve of the
Injunction had been committed by some
other man In California.
"I do not know about that , " replied Judge
Woods. I rather think If n man advises
a crime In New York and It Is. committed In
Indianapolis ho may be punlslid In either
district. "
Tne value of the telegrams , sent out about
the time the boycott began was , Mr. Miller
contended , that they proved that the em
ployes ot the Santa Ke system quit work
on Debs' orders , as c.xpre&sed In the mes
sages.
Mr. Mulford's testimony was continued nt
the afternoon session. Early In the after
noon session Attorney Walker announced
thut the government hud introduced all the
telegrams. It wished , and the witness was
turned over to Attorney Miller of the Santa
Fe. 'Jhoattorney Introduced a number of
messages In evidence. Among them was a.
telegram under date of July 10 to C. H.
Kldrldge at Leadvllle. U Is typical of
many. It reads :
"Do not lie frightened by Injunctions , ar
rests or troops. I hava got a house full
of them. This Is common alll over.
This fight Is now one of the money
power and combined monopoly to annihilate
labor and ( nslave those dependent on lilnr ,
backed by injunctions , arrests and Irakis.
Children and childish men have no part In
It. Only strong men and strong minds can
emancipate labor. You In Colorado ought to
understand what the gold money power
means , and bo willing to rfslst It , even to
the point ot starvation. Injunctions and
troops cannot operate the road. There ore
not enough scabs to fill one-tenth of the
vacancies. There nro Jive mm ( milling to

NEW YOniC , Sept. C. In addition to the
15,000 persons now out of work by reason of
the strike ot the sweat shop coatmakors
belonging to ths Drotherhood of Tailors , 1,500
tailors affiliated with Ihe Knlghls of Labor
will strike tomorrow unless a settlement Is
eff.cted. This decision was reached at a
meeting of the executive board ot the
Knights , comprising five delegates from each
of the nine unions , controlling every branOh
of the tailoring trade , hld today for the pur
pose of discussing the matter. There were
also several delegates from Brooklyn unions
present.
The cloak manufacturers' contractors had
a me.ting this afternoon with a committee
from the strikers , and agreed tn take back
the strikers without the conditions which
the contractors yesterday demanded. This
position eecms satisfactory to the strikers.
So far no one has returned to work.

Now YiirUrr * at Iho Auliuru I-'ulr.
AUIlt'UN , N. Y. , Sept. 6. Democratic day
at the county fair brought out a good nt-
endance. Governor Flower and Congressman
larter of Ohio wore Ihe orators. Mr.
lartcr salil In part : "The tariff question Is
mrely a question of taxation and the prin
ciples which govern all other forms of tax-
jtlon apply equally to It. In other words ,
taxation Is burdensome and un evil generally
ct no small proportions. II Is , however , a
necessary evil , and as a rule It gives reason
able compensation for Us existence. It Is
; ho pried of government , as It represents the
cost of protecting the people of a state or
nation In the rights of person and property.
Taxation , then , is the pries of government ,
unless wo approve of paying more than
we need for wh.it we buy In our private
capacity , we should as Intelligent citizens ob-
| ect to paying any more taxes than arc rc-
iU | red to defray the octual necessity and cost
of government. Tariff taxation Is naturally
a very unjust thing , Inasmuch as It Is col
lected upon what we consume nnd not upon
wealth , capital or what ue have accumu
lated. Under this system n very poor man
with a large family would pay a larger sum
for the support of his government than a
very rich man having no family. This Is
an indictment which always lies agalns any
form ot tariff ta.xallon. "
Continuing , Mr. Harter said a tariff for
revenue puts the saddla on the wrong horse ,
as It taxes the outgo of a family instead
of thu Income. He argued against protection
as worse , and said Ihe law was " Thou shalt
not steal , " and It still siands against anything
like a protective tariff In any land where
the rights of citizenship are , equal and where
the burdens of government nre intended to
be exactly alike. Protection he character
ized as a gross perversion rtf our American
idea of government and said If the law's aid
should bs Invoked to either advance or re
duce prices It should Invariably bo used lo
reduce them. It would bo unjust to the
producer , but it would help many consumers ,
while a protective tariff Injures all consum
ers lo the advantage of the producers alone.

MIIAVAUKEK , Sept. C. The state demoI I
crntic convention was called to order :
promptly at noon today by Chairman Wall , I
\vlio announced that Senator \V. F. Vllns
voulil bo temporary clialnnnii. A roar of
upplauso followed this announcement , which
vas renewed when the senator appeared on
lie stage. Mr. Vllns spoke as. follows :
It has happened mere than unco , said Mr.
Vilas , In the old days of power and splendor
: lmt the democratic party had suffered torn-
lorsry reverses through tome fever of Ir
ritation skillfully engendered In the "on
> 'car" between presidential elections , only
13 bo strengthened for the victory In the
succcpJIng contest. The adversaries of
democracy , In licpes of plucking a similar
advantage from tlio fickleness of political
'ortnnc , have already carkleil over their
> respects us If the mischief was already
done and the public Interests were again
their prey. Finding the god sense of the
jicoplo not so easily overturns ! the fervor of
their expectancy hail cooled and their ardcr
abated. Conditions had chunked wllh.n . the
ast half a century ; means for quick popuUr
understanding were fur superior to those of
the early days , and the ptople kept pace
with events us never before In history. It
was to this Intelligence mid s her judgment
that democracy made Its appeal.
The evils that had befallen the country
Senator Vllas attribute ; ! to three causes ,
namely : The Fifty-first or so-called b'lllon-
dollar congress with all Its misdeeds. Its
Bllver purcluslng law , Its McKlnley protec
tion act and Its unexampled extravagance ,
nut only in direct oppr prlation , but In en
tailing future obi gathns yet to be dls-
ohaiged. The Cleveland administration had
expended $ S7St35llG.97 : exclusive of the ex
penses of the postal department and the re
duction of the public debt ; the Harrison ad
ministration expended $1,202,1)12,771.29 , thus
Increasing the expenditures In fcur years
$32.1S17.G5I.40 , a sum equal to the entire
expenditures of the government for the four
years next bef re the republ can party came
Into power. Not tnly this , but the Flfty-
Becoml congress was obliged to provide $175-
736,810.79 , and the Flfty-lhlrd congress , In
tlie session just closed , $65,723,611.02 to meet
the obligations Imposed upon the country
by the Fifty-first congress. Merc , Mr. Vllas
claimed , was the cause cf the natlcnal ills-
tress of 18S3 ; n nation could no moru
squander Its substance In riotous living and
escapq the penalty than any prodigal spend
thrift.
TOUCHED ON TUB TAH1FF.
Taking up the tariff question , Senator
Vllas said under tnc McKlnUy act favorites
waxed fat. but the public treasury was lean ,
and HIP lessened receipts from customs
duties raised Increasing menaces of coming
bankruptcy. From J229.G6S.681.G7 In 1890 ,
the last complete year before McKlnley sm
bsgan. revenues fell to $ l77.4.r > 2iCl.l5 ! In
1S92 ; n presage cf coming disaster , and
though from special cautoa there was a bet
tor result In the year ended June , ISaS , the
latnl drop continued during the year Just
passed , and but $132.291.242.-13 have been
collected at the customs houses. Thus ,
though every rate of duty was lncrease.1 on
Roods of republican favorites , the govern
ment's share of the Increased taxation was
reduced ever $97,000,000 between the last
year before McKlnlcylsm and the last year
that f My endured.
The Sherman law next taken .
was up. The
national democratic convention of 1882 had |
accepted the designation given It by I/ ! / .
democrats of Wisconsin , and declared It li
cowardly makeshift to ward off the loffl
of the electoral votes of the western silver
slat n. I3y its means the western republican
sll\er states were furnished a customer at
the expense of the people of the whole coun
try. The Inevitable conszquences followed.
The government was set to work Inflating
and Impairing the currency of the country.
District crept Into the channels of business ;
capitalists abroad quietly pushed their Amer
ican b.'curltlos upon the market , and gold
began making Its way to foreign lands. It
was In another form the triumph of preen
backlsm. The silver dollar was made a legal
lender ; yet silver continued to decline In the
mark-t. A thousand million dollars of sliver
certificates had been Issued which the gov
ernment practically bound Itself to redeem
In gold , because If It redeemed th'm In sliver
It dropped the currency at once to a basin
of silver monometallism , while their redemp
tion In gold would net only Impose a ruinous
loss , but It was practically Impossible.
A good start had ben made toward re
trenching the expenses entailed by the Fifty-
first congress. In the salary list over COO
olllces have been abolished and $700.000 an
nually saved thereby , while the appropriations
ore $28,835,892.20 less than those made at
the last session of the preceding congress ,
and $50,555.191.78 less than those of the lust
session of the Fifty-first congress.
S-Miator Vilas then reviewed the history of
the republican party to show that It had
Ions ago fulfilled Its mission of usefulness
and was now merely a party of opposition
without any defined or controlling p-noipe. ! !
It was willing to consort with the populists
of Alabama or the bigoted A. 1" . A. iT Wis
consin In tlio desperation of Its decaying
II f p.
p.At the conclusion of Senator Vllas' r.ncech
several committees were appointed , Including
a committee on platform , and the conven
tion adjourned until 4 p. m.
I'KCK IlENOMINATED.
On the third ballot of the democratic state
convention and the first of the evening ses
sion Governor Oeorgu W. Peck was renorn-
Inated , receiving 1SG votes to 55 for
John llunner and 110 for John Wlnans.
Treasurer Hunner flnd Secretary Cunning
ham and Attorney General O'Connor were
nlso renomlnated. If. J. Scmldtz of Manl-
towac was nominated for Lieutenant gover
nor ; \Mlllam H. Schutx of Baraboo , state su
perintendent ; George C. 1'rescott , North
Greenfield , railroad comm'ssonr ! ; Insurance
commissioner , Olof H. Starr. Vlroqua.
The platform roainrms the principles of
the democratic national platform cf 1S92 ; at
tributes financial dlstresr to the republican
class legislation ; tays the new tariff law
affords substantial relief "and Is a broad stride
In the direction of accomplishing the results
that the democratic- party have et > long con
tended for ; " that by the repeal of the Sher
man silver law the money of the country
Is restored to a sound basis , and no proposed
legislation shall be entertained that does not
provide t.at every dollar Issued by the
government shall be of equal Intrinsic and
Interchangeiblo value. The constitution
f rbds discrimination based on religious
testa. The A. P. A. and like societies violating
lating this fundamental principle find their
nitural place In the ranks of the republicans ,
who are careless of the people's Interests
and who will meet with the fame rebuke
at the hands of the people as a kindred
movement which fvUnd expression In the
Bemiet law , and the democrat.c party IB
unalterably opposed to theprlnlcples of the
A. P. A. and kindred unamorlcan organi
zation ! . \Vo emphasize the fact that hi ) r
has the name right to 1'gal organization and
protection as capital and that provision
should be made by arbitration or Uherwlie
far the equ table and p ao.blo adjustment
of the differences between the wage earner
and his employer. We denounce aa unjun
and oppressive the tyitem of maintaining
"pluck me" stores practiced by many cm-
jil'ycrs of labor and recommend the enact
ment of stringent prohibitory laws calcu
lated to prevent n continuance thereof. The
Income tax fcnturo of the tariff bill meets
our approval. The adm'nlstratlon ' of Presi

H.iK of honor floats nvcr the tracU of the

Ttrro Haute and Kort Wayne has been
eclipsed. Sir Robert J , the fireat son of
Hartford , rolRiis supreme as UMR ! of the turf
nnd the pennant waves nbovc his stall at
the stulu fair grounds.
The match race for a purre of $5,000 bo-
twefii Uobert J and JOP I'atchcn was ex
pected to brliiR forth Bcinc phenomenal speed ,
but not ono ot the 10,000 people K-itliered nt
the track this afternoon was prepared for
the tcrrllde clashing of records that began
with the word "Go ! " thundered from the
stand by Starter Walker at 3:50 : o'clock.
The day was all tint could have been de
sired , nnd the track was perfect. All the
necessary elements \\cro present which enter
Into the production of great speed. The
light rains of the thirty hours previous hail
been absorbed by the yielding earth , anil
forces of men under the direction of the
track superintendent li-ul been at work con
stantly since. Nothing hail been omitted , and
when the final moment came not n member
of the association hut vvtis confident , with
the condition of the track , no blume could bo
attached to them If nets' records uere not
made. The heats of the previous races wcro
passed over In haste , und the crcmd had
become somewhat linpatlenl when Starter
\Viilker advanced to thi < front of the stand ,
and , facing the Immense &ilherlng , nn-
nouncod Ihe match race would be the next
fcMture of the program. I.ujliliiR out on the
trad : ho Bald to Secretary Oraves of tha
club :
"Look out for records hero ; both ot thesa
hones are In the best possible condition
and Jack Curry has promised to give th
little horse the race of his life. "
At the stables of the flyers all was con
fusion as the final touches wcro put uporv
the preparations for the ( jreat contest , for
blood. Goers had hcnrd ot the open boast ot
Curry , and hud replied In his peculiar , quiet
way :
"Is that to7 Well , old boy , we'll have to
RO some , won't we , " mid he patted the lltllo
wonder on the neck in an affectionate man
ner.
ner.At
At tlio same moment tint Starter Walker
made tha announcement to the crowd tha
inntsi's of humanity at the > gates were
parted and from the breach appeared upcn
the track ElmiiUane'iiisly tha two horses.
A mlfihty cheer went up us fleers and ) Curry
drvo quietly down In fionl oE the amphlthe- "
cter urn ! ] ogicd ; to the turn. The crowd
became breathless as the horses came to
gether and pulkd out for a Httlo warming
up down the stretch. Five minutes later
they halted a moment bif re the .stand , tha
last touches wire ajiivnlntered to both
horses , every ttrap and bucMeas closely
inspected and the two swvpl down the tr&ck
for the word.
110TII OUT FOR TUB STUFF.
Iloth drivers settled themselves firmly In
tholr Keats and neither looked nt the other.
They were In no hunur for Jesting- . There
was a determined and rot expression upon
the fac3 of _ each. Curry was determined
to give the' brown horse the. greatest and
hottest rsce of his life , but Geers was
quietly confident that ho could pull out just
enough to keep ahead. He kntw the humor
of his horse and. his heart never trembled.
Scarcely had the two horses turned for tba
start when the brown and black gave gnat
leaps forward and shot down to the stand nt
a terrific pace. Jiith drivers hold back anil
I'alchen was rendered unsteady by the lines.
Walker saw the situation and called them
back. The second start was a success. Beth
honsesVvcre at their strides and less than a
neck apart. Down the track they came at
a , terrible pace with perfect motion and even
strides.
"fio ! " yelled Walker , leaning far over
the railing of the stand , and the crowd orosa
us one man , Around Iho turn the two rivals
shot , and nt the quarter 0:31 : % was an
nounced. Not nn Inch of divergence ua
to thu relative positions could bo seen. It
was as though the two great homxi wcro
being Impelled by Bonte unseen force , aa
the movement of HIB legs on Iho hack strclch
could not be hecn ; " 1.02'fc at the half" waa
called out , and the croud cheered.
Still the two horHes remained together ,
Curry hanging stubbornly at Goers' wheel ,
The latter lurnrd his head slightly and
seemed to be studying chances. He saw the
situation at u glance.
Ho wan In the race of his life , with an
opponent that was worthy of his. steel , llo
spoke to the little brown and there was an
Immediate response. Ho forged ahead a
nose as the two swept Into the turn nnd
there was a slight check noticeable ) us tha
last curve was being cut down. Uath driv
ers gathered their relna for thu stretch , and
1:31 : at Iho thrce-riuurUiB was yelled from
the stand.
ONLY A NOSH TO TUB GOOD.
Then began the in ad race homo. Curry
spoke to the handsome black and I'atchcn
responded by straining ovcry musclo. The
great hunt ? seemed to rocoxnlzo that thu !
was the moment when he could revenge him
self for former defeats. Ho came up to
even terms and with distended neck and
flaming nostrllr thiind red along at the lit
tle brown's ulde. It was n eurprlne to the
little wonder hlnisolf , who was unaccus
tomed lo have a horse at his Hlds on that
part of the track.
Was ho actually challenged and wcro uls
laurels In danger ?
lie bhook his head angrily and attempted
to draw away , but ( Jeers held him wl'h a
hti-nly ; hand. H was not yet the moment
fur the last great effort. Ho- allowed the
black to regain hl.1 place nnd the two ruahi'd
down thu trark at a mad irace. Some ono
In the crowd yelled In triumph as ha EUW
the world's record In da upIT , and Starter
Walker called out for sllvncD until after
the horses hud paused thu wire. Up they
ciune like a whirlwind and left the crowd
In uncertainty as lo tha victor.
Oen ; tpoke to Hobcrt J and Curry made a
lj\v exclamation of encouragement to the
black. Iloth understood and renponded , The
little brown seemed to tie surprised at the
audacity of hlx big rival , and a > he dashed
under the wire t > tuck out hla neck , and
with a mighty stride gained a note. It waa
a fir.ind flnlMi to the jrand ; race , und the
crowd yelled Itself hoar e.
A moment later , when 2:03 : % waa huns
up , a great wave of oitravagint delight ,
daihcd across the niiiplthcatcr , and the air
trembled as the great roar ot triumph went ;
up , Terre Haute. HIB rival , had been sur
