y ~ ESTABLISHED JU DOUBLED TEAMS ON CHINA Japanese and Coreans Euter Into a Treaty of Allianes, MCVE TO SECURE CCREAN INDEPENDENCE Japan Will Furnish the Soldiers and Corea Will Fuenlsh Subsistence in the Effort to Drive the Celestials from the Country, WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—A telegram was recelved at the Japaneso legation this morn- ng to the effect that an important treaty bas been negotiated between Corea and Japan which authoritatively defines the relations of the two countries toward each other and toward China. The object of the treaty is stated In the preamble to be the mutual desire >n the part of the emperor of Japan and the king of Corea to definitely fix and deter- mine the attitude of each country toward the other with a view to clearly elucidating the existing relations between Japan and Corea, which has been created by the re- gquest which the .Corean government has made to the Jupanese government to compel China to “evacuate To s serted action for the more efective plishment of this object, the treaty alllance between the two countries tigned at Scoul on the 20th of August, Mr. Oteroi, the envoy of Japan, and Corean minister of forelgn affair: The treaty consists of th Article 1 defines the object of alliance 1o be the strengthening and perpetuation of the Independence of Corea ag an anlonomous state and the promotion of the mutual in- terest of Japan and Corea by compelling the Chinese forces to withdraw from Corea and by obliging China to abandon her claim of the right to dominate the affairs of that country. Article 2 binds the Japanese g0 to carry on warllke operations again both offensive and defensive; the government {s bound by the article ! the Japamese forces every possible facility In their movements, and to furnish them with supplies of provisions at o fair muneration, o far as such suppiies be needed By article 3 it 1s provided that the treaty shail terminate so ®oon as the treaty of peace shall have been conciuded by Japan Shina. ‘lll\;‘r. (Kurlnu‘ the Japanese minister, talked to in Associated press reporter 'oday re- garding the new treaty between Japan and Corea. “We have nothing bur the announce- ment of the treaty,” said he, “‘but my ference from its terms is that it will prove highly advantageous to Corea, Thire has existed there, under Chinese auspices, the most corrupt system of government Known. The constant intrigues of China there have been a threat to the peace of the east. The Japanese govern- ment has desired the scttlement of this question only for the peace of the east. It has been entirely without exp. ctation of territorial aggrandizement or exercise of suzerainty of Corea With the assurance of autonomy to Corea, which is the design of this treaty, there will be opportunity for great improvements in her system of government, internal adminis- tration and other affairs. Alrcady she has advanced from the condition of the rule of an individual influenced by China, and has a cabinet of six members and a prime minister to whom the ruler looks for adviea and guidance. Th's change was made under the advice of the Japancse represntative oul. “MT I}‘cwnm 4 he Qid mot think the treaty could be called a step toward a peace- ful settloment with China, as China was tenacious on sentimental grounds of her claim of suzerainty. China might, he #aid, to have put an end to difficulties before now by consenting to some improvements fo Corean affairs. The improvement in government institutions in Corea, it would be admitted, require foreign adyisors and counselors, and these might be Japanese or might bo other forcigners. He did not admit the termination of the present treaty by making peace with China could open the way for a revival of Japan's old claim of suzerainty, which he said Japan had ex- pressly relinquished and would put herselt in as bad a position as China by renew- ing it “Qorea, und r the Inadequate government that China gives her,” he says, “is weak and other governments, such as Russia, are constantly threatening to come in and seize a portion of her territory and thus cause war in the east.

LONDON, Sepl. 11.—A dispatch to the Tines from Wei-Hal-Wel todny says that a commission composed of foreigners after ex- amining the incidents of the naval fight of July 26 declares that the Japanese were the aggressors, The Chinese, the commission adds, were careful to avoid the appearance of provocation, but the Japs waylald the Chinese, selecting a good position.

Sept. 1L—-While her majesty’'s steamship, Hyacinthe, was on the way to Hawail and the mail steamer Mari- posa was on her way hee 1ho vessels met and mail was transferre/ from the Hya- elntbe for San Francisco, [t appears that in order fo attract the Mariposa the Hyacinthe sent up a rocket. Failing in her object she fired two blank cartridges. This has been magnified to the extent that it is said the Hyacinthe fired across the Mariposa's bow The commander of the Hyacinthe supposed the Mariposa to be an English vessel. The Honolulu Advertiser says if the original story was true it might be serious, but it is and gives Captain May's reason as above, to silence the story of an outrage on an American steamer. NATIVES FIGHTING THE TCH. War in the Tsland of Lombok s One of Serious Proportiol SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11.—D. N. Tinon, a graduate of Cambridgs, England, who has been traveling for the past nine months, ar- rived here from Bavarla, Java, in company with several fricnds. He says there s a violent Insurrection of the mnatives on the mland of Lombok against the Dutch. The native fsland king has joined forces with the natives, and unitedly they are doing all they can to throw off the Dutch yoke. War is in actual progress. Iow many have been killed on both sides Is not known but at the last engagement the Dutch forces were repelled. In Batavia there was great excitement. “Everybody expected,” said Mr, Tinon, “that the revolution would &pread, and it w thought the war might be long and bloody.

The ol familiar war tunes to which they and their comrades rushed to victory or to death filled the air and echoed bick from the surrounding hills. Tho music made their hearts beat as in the strring times of thirty years ago, and brought the flush of patrictism and courage to thelr cheeks. But while they stepped out boldly and bravely they could mot straighten their bent forms nor conceal their gray hairs and fur- rowed checks, They carried no heavy rifle with glittering bayonet, but aided their aged limbs with walking canes, while here and there in the line of blue was some com- rade on crutches. They marched no more beneath the yawning muzzles of frowning cannon, but past battery after battery of bright "eyes, while the fair enemy waved white handkerchiefs and applauded with ehrill, sweet voices. On every street cor- ner and vacant lot rose tier after tier of human faces, and as the veterans passed cheer after cheer greeted them. Every window vlong the route, with fire escapes and rcof tops, was crowded, while the street alks were packed sclidly from the building line to the wire ropes stretched along the curb to prevent interference with the free movement of the parade of the Grand Army of the Republic. At 10:30 o'clock the parade started from the historic Monongahela house on the banks of the river from which it takes its name.

It was 1:30 before the Pennsylvania de- partment swung into line and closed up the rear of one of the grandest Grand Army of the Republic parades ever held In the coun- try. At 3 o'clock the end of the column reached the Associated press office, the pa- rade having been four hours and fifteen min- utes passivg down Fourth avenue, Then the- divisions broke into posts and marched into their quarters in different parts of the two cities, Tho weather was perfect. The sky put on its d:epest blue tint, relieved here and there by white, flecey clouds without the sugges- on of a storm; the sun shone brilliantly, but its rays were tempered by a eool and bracing breeze. It was an ideal day for a parade, both for the m:n in line and the spectato The decoraticns of the two cities were most lavish. It was stated by men who attended many previous encampments that while in- dividual displays may have been excelled in other citles, they had never seen decora- tons on such a gorgeous and general scale. Hardly a dwelling, no matter how poor or how far from the routs of parade, but at least had a flag, and usually a display of bunting well, while the business houses in every part of the cities made a gorgeous s not the only manner in which the gratitude, pride and patriotism of the citizens was displayed. They gave pmore certain evidence by th: manner in which they turned out to greet the old soldiers. It is impossible to form any accurate esti- mate of the spectators. Every available nch along the route was packed, every side street was jammed full of people for a hun- dred yards back, and the house tops for blocks away were hidden by masses of en- thusiastic applauders. HALF A MILLION SAW IT. A rough estimate is that betwe:n 500,000 and 600,000 people saw the parade. Of this number 300,000 to 850,000 came over the rail- roads, 100,000 arriving this morning. The al- most innumerable lines of electric roads run- ning to thickly settled suburbs within a radius of fifteen miles, brought as many more. The ¢l soldlers appreciated the honor done them, and turned out in force, but few being se-n out of iine while the parade was mov- ing. But this was not their only reason for determining to make the parade one to be long remembered. 'This was probaly the last time the veterans will turn out in such force, as it is seriously contemplated by the Grand Army of the Republic cflicfals, in view of the advancing age and infirmities of the members, to abandon this most attractive feature of the national encampment, There- fore they proposed to make the last parade a success, and tramped over the two miles of route with the same determination that characterized them when they marched ag:inst the southern armle: Governor Patiison of Pennsylvania, with his staff and a number of notable men and women from all parts of the country, oc- cupled the reviewing stand in_ Allegheny park, and seluted each division as it swung around and passed In review. The arrangements for the ecmfort of the marchers were excellent.

DENVER, Sept. 11.—The Assoclated press dispatches from New York concerning the charges of fraud made agalnst Jehn C. Beatly and others in a Sonora, Mex., land | has created some excitement in this where some of the defendants reside. nes H. Brown, one of the defendants, sald in reforence to the company that a long while ago he saw the fmpracticability of the scheme advanced by Beatty and sent in his resgnation as one of the directors, as he did not care to have his name used in connection with it. ‘1 attended but one meeting of the board of directcrs, and that was immediately after the company was formed,” said Mr., Brown, “I have learned recently that Beatty and Miller went east and 1 heard that they dis posed of some of the stock to eastern partie although T never heard whether or not they ever did any thing towards making the scheme a success.” T. J. O'Donnel said: torney for the Colorado River Irrigation company since its organization. From what I know of the affairs of the company 1 should say that the suit commenced by James H Beatty against John C. Beaity and the com- pany in New York is a family quarrel. The two men are cousins. “Tha Colorado men mentioned have had practically nothing to do with its minage- ment since the first vear of its existence. They had sold most of their stock to James H. Teafty, but in_the -controversy between Ja H. Beatty and John C. Beatty they si‘ed with the latter and cast the deciding vote in his favor. This firitated James H Beatty, and he has undcubtedly named them as parties defendant in the suit largely out of spite. Mr. Samuel N. Wood, who is named as a defendant, has not been a di- rector of the company or had anything to do with it for some two years or more, and, 80 far as 1 kncw, does not and has not for that length of time owned a share in it The company owns valuable franchises in California, secured by location and acts of congress, and has the absalute title to be- tween 800,000 and 900,000 acres of land in Sonora, Mex., much of it Immedlately on the American border, The land s ga'd by parties who have seen it to be valuable, The com- pany has been in embsrrassed circumstances since the financial panic of 1893, and this suit is undoubtedly the cuwlmination of an attempt to freeze J. C. Beagty and the other stockholders out and obfalti’ the franchises and property of the company themselves.’ SRR L PROGRESS OF THE Suit Over the Me a rrel “I have been EAETA TRIAL Counsel for San Salvad r Began His Open- ing Argument Yesterday, SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11.—The fate of Antonio Ezeta and three other San Salva- dorean refugees who are detained here will not be decided, in all probability, until some time n:xt week. Their cases were recalled In the United States court today after Judge Morrow had sustained a formal demurrer to the defendant's plea of lack of jurisdiction. Argument was begun by the eounsel for' th: government of San Salvador. The opening argument will not be ‘coneluded befors to- morrow noon and it s not probable that the case will be submitted- to;the court before next week. General Ez:ta proves-to have fascinating influence over sentimental wo- men of certain classes. For several days past he has becn deleged with tender mis- sives and flowers which have been sent to his hotel by these admirers. Several women who make no attempt to cone:al their ad- miration of the fierce looking Spanish-Ameri- can have been constant attendants on the proceedings in the court, Gne handsome Spanish girl, who has be:n more persistent than others of her rivals, has regularly waited at the entrance of the hotel in which Ezeta and his comrades are held as prisoners, in order to catch a glimpse of her hero and follow after him to the court room. Kzeta's conduct has been manly. To all appearances these flattering attentions have been un- noticed. Th great legal battle, which means fo him life or death, claims his whole at- tention. General Ezeta has received a re- mittance of §5,000 from his brother, Carlos, the deposed prisident, und is now able to provide for all his wants; He confidently ex- pects to be released, and his friends openly assert that within six' moaths he will be at th: head of another revolytion against the existing government in San Salyador. Colonel Colocho, the refugee whom Judge Morrow liberated, has reached Mexico. e LAST MEXICAN GOVERNOR DEAD. California’s Last Ruler Under Authority Passes Avay. LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 1L.—Don Pio Pico, the last Mexican governor of Cali- fornia, died this morning. He was 94 years old, Until within a few weeks he was in good health, though feeble. Pio Pico was born at San Gabriel in 1801, and on the death of his father in 1819 moved to San Diego, where he opened @ store. He pros- pered there, became prominent in a politi- cal way and secured the title to one of the large Mexican grants which he subsequently sold to the Americans. His political prominence frequently placed him on the wrong side and he several times suffered imprisonment. But ‘on_the whole, this tendency was upwards. He was president of the Junta In 1845, at the time of Michael Tor downfall, and became temporary sovernor February 22. His ofice was con- firmed in Mexico and on April 18, 1846, he took the oath as constituiionai governor, holding the position until Mexico lost pos- session of the country. On the approach of the American forces he fled to Mexico, to California in 1848, settling in Santa Margarita. In, 1866 he moved to Los Angeles, where he remained until the time of his death. He was an extensive land owner, among! his possessions being the ranch Santa Margarita, embracing thou- sands of acres. FRAKER MYSTER Mexican DR, Another Story Whigls Temds to Show He May Not.

The chairman of the evening presented me to you as the next governor of Nebraska. It is better, per haps, that such a deelaration should come from him and from the citizens of Douglas county, rather than from me. 1 do not keow that I am particularly noted for modesty, but at the szme time I desire to say that I am not egotist enough to s up before an intelligent audience and d that I am going to be elected by majority.

These men were ccnservative, patriotic. They c:me there to serve the people and to demand good government, honesty in the administra- tion of the state's affalrs. They came with- out seifishness of motive, and they asked me to be a candidate for governor. Such a demand I cculd not refuse. So I came to you as a candidate, not as a man with a desira to thrust myself into an office. I wes already occupying a position satisfactory to mysel, a position in which 1 was giving reasonable satisfacticn to my constituents, and a position which to my mind ] equally @s honorable as the one to wh am now an aspirant. I come before the people at this time believing that there s a demand by a large majcrity of the citizens of Nebraska for a reform in state govern- ment, “The state of Nebraska is now twenty- seven years old. It is a young state in the galaxy of states, a state that we are all proud of, a state that has grown in wealth and population almost beyond expectation, I have seen the state of which we are all so proud grow for sixteen years. I have taken a deep interest in its growth, but not more, perhaps, than thousands of others who have worked for its material and intellectual ad- vancement. I have seen Omaha grow from 4 mere £pot on the map to one of the leading cities of this great west. When I first came to Nebraska Omaha was but a small city. Now its name is known and its place is rec- ognized among the leading ecities all over the civilized world. I have seen South Omaha grow into an important city in a few years, and it seems to me that her growth is marked by interests almost if not fully important as those of Omaha itself. And, having seen these things, I want to say that there is not an interest in Nebraska, in Omaha . or South Omaha that cannot be safely entrusted to the hands of an inde- pendent administration as safely as in the hands that have controlled the state for the sixtesn years that I have lived in the state. 1 can see no reason why the business in- terests of Omaha, South Omaha, Lincoln, Beatrice, Fremont, Hastings or Grand Island can be particulerly benefited by the election of any one particular candidate or set of candidates. T take it that the affairs of government 1t rightly administered are broad enough to care for the interests of every indi- vidual and every city and every part of the state. 1 do not believe that the business in- terests of Omaha are opposed to the interests of the state, consequently 1 fail to under- stand why it should be said, as I understand it has already been sald, that I should or could not interpret the laws or administer the affairs of the state without endangering the business interests of Omaha or of any part of the state. We all agree that the sacredness of property and of property righ must be protected, that contracts must not be broken, but must be lived up to. Fair deal- ing between man and man is held just as high in my esteem as those who are claim ing, that the business interests of the state are to be affected by the election of any one particular candidate. I do not care to discuss this evening the differences that exist between national parties. We have already had a little too much of frultless tariff discussion. I am not going to talk of the silver question. I am more Interested in taking care of the silver we have already accumulated. I am more interested In seeing it honestly spent 1 am more interested in seeing that when the money we already have is taken from the pockets of the taxpayer it is expended hon- estly and judiciously. CHANGE IS DEMANDED, “In my humble judgment, the business in- terests of the state of Nebraska demand that the class of men which has for the past twenty-five years coatrolled the state a to the disadvantage of the people and of whe taxpayer shall step down and out. I know poljtical parties are Ifke human nature gen erally. Yis mssca cf the people are hon- est. Dut there are, unfortunately, men who are honest personally, but who, fca the pur- pose of holding the affairs of state in their grasp, are politically as dishonest as any man the state has ever produced. They look upon public office as legitimate prey. and they use office for the purpose of feath- erlug their own nests, 1 am not alone in this bellef. The last legislature, by a vote of & majority of republicans, as well as in dependents, drew up an Indictment against the officers who had managed the state's affairs in the interests of the rings. The in- vestigation before the supreme court, as you all know, disclosed a mass of corrupion, of mismanagement and of malfeasance almost surpassing belief. While the indicted offi- cials escaped on a tehuicallty, there 4 still a widespread fealing that they were recre- inty Issues ith Judge Wilson giving way to ed his audience substance of his the uncertainties of IS, ant (o the trust imposed upon them by the people of the state. The investigation se people to thinking. And they are now ask- ing, What have our public servants done for us? Have they done their duty? “Under the past reign of misruls, frandu- I'nt contracts have been awarded; there has been flagrant disregard of the interests of the people; taxes have been growing heavier; the floating indebt:dnes of the state has been in- creasing. Nearly $300,000 of the state's money has been lost in_the failure of the Capital National bank. The sum of $40,000 has been expended at the state penitentiary cell house that is absolutely worthlcss for the purposes for which it was buflt. The appropriations for numerous Institutions have been squander:d “Why do I remark upon these things? Be- cause 1 believe that the same element that has contralled the state fs still endeavoring to retain that control; because 1 believe that the same element is now attempting to die- tate the men who are sxpected to cover up rottenness that may still be undiscovered Every taxpayer should look into this matter and say for himself whether the past state of affairs shall continus. 1 do not say that any candidate on the republican ticket is personally dishonest, but I do that every candidate on that ticket was nated and trolled by the same class of men that for years past has dominated our state gov- ernment. It scems to me that the time has come when the people of Nebraska should make a careful investigation and then say whther the interests of the state, its integ rity, its credit shall longer be controiled by men whose actions have been o iniquitous as to be almost a stench in the nostrils of the peop! “In conclusion 1 do not care to say that [ will be the best governor Nebraska has ever 1 do tay, however, that when I am 1 propose to discharge my duty to t of my ability. I will do everything that can be done to bring about a safe, economical and conservative administration of affairs in our state gov.rnment, and see to it that the faith and credit of the state is kept as bigh or higher than it has been up to the present tim=." Judge Hoicomb was heartily applauded at every one of his telling points. EMETIC FOR REPUBLICANS w. L n of Kearney awakened enth asm by making a brief specch in his own enthusiastic manner. He said that the nomi- nation of Tom Majors had acted as a power- ful cmetic upon the republican stomach; that he would be spewed out in November. He sald that although a great deal had been sald in the past about Edward Rosewater, there wer: 10,000 Bdward Rosewater republi- cans in Nebraska who would spew out the republican candidate for governor. He com- pared the republican attitude to Rosewater to the color:d man who had captured a rabbit As the colored man carried the rahbit home he chuckled over his good fortune. “Yer good fer stew. Yer good fer fry. Yer good fer baks. Yer good fer everything that darkey want At this point in the apos trophe the rabbit made its escape and the disappointed darkey shouted after it: *‘Go it, yer rawboned, slab sided, dry meat, good for nothing. 1 ain’t got any us: fer yer any how.” As long as Edward Rosewater was with the ticket, he was all right, but as coon he refused to support the republican ndidate for governor he was of no use any how.
