ON A Band of Convicts Makes a Raid, but to No Purpose. A dozen prisoners in the chair shop ‘n the Massachusetts state prison started a riot at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon for the purpose of making a break for liberty. J. Oakes, a prisoner who has been in the prison for some years, headed the rioters, and was shot in the groin by one of the officers, At the time the men dropped their tools in the shop and made a break for the yard a fire was discovered in one of the small wooden buildings inside the wall. It was evidently started by the prisoners to at- tract the attention of the officers in order that a number might escapé unnoticed. For a few minutes all was excitement, and the officers hardly know themselves what transpired. They say that the men, headed by Oakes, rushed out of the shop into the yard and caused a riot. Some were armed with clubs, and evidently meant trouble. They began to yell when they saw the officers after them, and kept it up until every prisoner in the prison knew that there was trouble. Then a general howl went up, and for a moment it looked as if there would be a general riot. The officers in the different shops, how- ever, controlled the men well, and the rlot- ers were not joined by any more men, The fire was discovered by one of the rioters, and through that fact the officials think that it was set by them. After the fire be- came known to the officers of the prison it took” but a few minutes to extinguish it, ! THE WORLD’s FAIR MEDAL, Description of the Design Accepted by the Trea ve The design for the world’s taf” medal of award accepted by the Secretary ot the Treasury in preference to those of Mr. St. Gaudens is the production of Charles E. Barber, an engraver at the Philadelphia mint. It contains a shield, with the fol- | lowing inscription: “World’s Columbian Expesition, in Commemoration of the Four Hundredth Anniversary of the Landing of Columbus, MDCCCXCiI, MDCCCX CII, and a place for insert, to receive the name of the recipient of the medal. The shield is surmounted by the globe, at elther side of which are female figures, Tepresenting Fame. The figure at the right of the globe has a trumpet in one hard, raised to her mouth, and is proclaiming the award, and in the other she holds wreaths, ready to present. The figure on the left of the globe has a tablet in the left hand, while in the right she holds a pen, ready to inscribe the award as proclaimed. On either side of the shield are flaming torches, representing light or intelligence. Beneath the shield, and partly hidden by the shield, is a caravel, which is used to lake a unity or completeness of idea, and allegory between the two sides of the model, the one side having the landing of Columbus, the other the above described design, the whole to commemorate the four hundredth anniversary of the Janding of Columbus, Dams Across St. Louis and Cloquet Rivers.

But since, on the faith of the permit granted to it, the company has gone forward and made contracts, spent large sums of money, and otherwise materially altered its situation, he thinks that the Secretary of War is not now at liberty to revoke the permit.

INTERESTING BITUATION Admiral Skerrett’s recent Pacific advices to the Navy Department concerning the alleged peaceful state of affairs in Corea are somewhat inconsistent with recent rews from that country received through other sources. A press dispatch from Tien Tsin says that Japanese troops are in pos- session of Seoul, the Corean capital, and that the king of the country is virtually a prisoner in their hands. If this report is true Admiral Skerrett’s report that affairs are in a satisfactory condition must have related solely to the affairs of the Ameri- can residepts of Corea, whose interests, of course, are paramount from his patriotic point of view. Close observers of foreign affairs are said to be apprehensive of the political future of Corea on the general theory that Rus- sia, China and Japan are each secretly in- triguing and maneuvering to secure con- trol of the country as a valuable and neces- sary territorial junct. Jt is said that each of the govefhments named would as- sist In the maintenance of the present gov- ernment of Corea rather than have the country fall into possession of either of the other nations. Cause of Troubles. The recent action of Japan in landing troops in Corea may lead to serious entan- glements. According to a diplomatic au thority the rights and wrongs of Japan's grievances against Corea are of compara- tively fittle importance. What is important is the fact that Japan, by virtually taking possession of the country, has opened up a question which may lead to very serious consequences before it is closed again. The trouble with the government of Japan has grown out of the assassination of Kim-ok-Kiun, at Shanghai, by order of the King of Corea. Kim had been Corean min- ister to Japan just before the unsuccessful attempt to make himself dictator in 1sS4, and when he raised hls rebellion he was supported by Japanese troops. After the feilure of his conspiracy he fied to Japan, where he was protected by the government until he was lured away to China last March. The Japanese ment was greatly incensed by the murder of its pro- tege, and its anger was increased by the line of conduct onan by Mr. Yu, the Corean charge @ res at Tokio. It will be remembered that for three days he re- fused to give up the two brothers Ken, Who fied to his residence for protection after making an ineffectual attempt to kill Kim-ok-Kiun's fellow conspirator,Boku 0, at Tokio. When at last he did sur- hder them he himself took a hasty and undignified departure from the country without giving the government to which he was accredited any intimation that he was about to leave. Jt was freely rumored “@t°the time that he had been. am the mufder of Kim-ok-Kiun and the attempt on Boku Eiko, and that he had bolted to avoid awkward revela- tions when the brothers Ken came to be | examined in the Japanese court. All these circumstances led to a diplo- matic conflict between the two countries, and eventually the Japanese foreign office addressed two questions to the Corean gov- ernment. These questions were: First, why did the Corean charge d’aftaires bolt from Tokio after the fallure of the attempt to kill Boku, without going through the usual formality of informing the Japanese go ernment of his intention? Second, did e King of Corea give instructions to any of his subjects or know that instructions were given to kill a Corean or Coreans who were living under Japanese protection? With these questions it is said a strong hint was given of unpleasant results that would { low unsatisfactory replies. The replies evi- dently were not to the Japanese taste, and the present occupation of the country is the consequence. - Three Antagonists. But, of course, the matter will not rest here, nor will Japan be allowed by her jealous neighbors to do just as she picases in Corea. China and Japan are old rivals for the suzerainty of Corea, and in the trouble between Kim aud the Corean royal house the true antagonists,.who remained more or less behind the screens and con- tented themselves with pulling the strings that made their puppets dance, were the Japanese, who supported Kim, and the Cai- nese, who supported the king. It is certain, therefore, that Japan will have to contend = the strongest opposition on the part of ina. This rupture between the two countries ; Will probably be made the most of by Hus- ia, who, since 1876, has been striving to absorb the Corean peninsula, Russia covets the country because she wishes to secure in the magnificent harbor of Fusan warzer headquarters for her naval and :nilitary forces on the Pacific coast than she at pres- ent possesses at Viadivostock. The fact | that her Usuri province is largely populated by Coreans may be regarded as favoring her hopes, sinc? it gives her that element of partly assimilated border population cn which she relies so much in her annexa- | tions. Such is the situation, Hitherto China, Japan and Russia have contented them- selves with jealously watching each other, without making any decisive move in Corea, but now that one of them has resolved to act the remaining tWo of the trio will, in ali probability, also be from before jung.

It was presided over by Milford Spohn, who ha@ been selected by the joint committee of the two organizations. Mr. Spohn delivered a forcible address on taking the chair, in the course of which he severely criticised the status of the people of Washington, who, be said, were merely residents and not citizens. They 4o not enjoy. the right guaranteed by the Con- stitution to every citizen, and he said that the President in acting as mayor, and Con- gress as board of aldermen, did very well, all things considered, but that they were acting outside of the duties fer which they "— es. let strong grounds in opposition to the bond issue, and characterized it as @ Scheme to put a tax on labor in order to Start the wheels of industry and give jabor 4 chance to earn a loaf of bread, but that the children of the workingmen of today wg - — for half a century tw pay for the loaf.

Canty, Edward Hogg, Robert Knightiey, Suckles, F. 8. Siddons, William McCabe, Dulin, Dement, Simmons, Follerwn and Hall. A series of resolutions was unani- mously adopted, setting forth that im the opinion of the meeting the people of Wash- ington are American citizens, intelligent and worthy to be intrusted with the ballot, and that a statutory denial of the right is an unconstitutional infringement upon the right of self-government. The /esolutions also protested against the bond scheme and favored the largest opportunities to labor | for the unemployed, more money ani less | bonds, industry and not interest, and im- provements to be paid for by appropria- tion from revenue derived from the direct taxation of all property on the lines of im- provement. A committee to present the resolutions to the House District committee was appoint- ed, consisting of Messrs, M. P. Canty, A. M. Cooke, William McCabe, George Welch and Milford Spohn.
