HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT CORE Now Arrival at Washington Gives an In- teresting Account of the Gountry. “TALK WITH THE JAPANESE SECRETARY Qoroans Have Lived for Years in Chinese Darkness but Are Now Emerging Into the Light—Crushing of the Tonghaks. WASHINGTON, March 7.—A new first sec- getary to the Japanese legation at Washing- ton, Mr. K. Matsui, has just arrived here, having beon transferred from his post at Seoul, the capital of Corea, whers he has recently passed through the exciting events by which Corea precipitated the war between Japan and China. The trip from Seoui to Washington with a short stop at Yokohama has taken about two months. Mr. Mateul Is one of the keen young men speaking Ruglish fluently who are distin- guishing Japan for hor diplomacy as well as her military powers, He talks interest- ingtly of Corean affairs, the roforms mangu- rated by Japan, the personality of the Corean King and queen, the Tonghak rebellion and other cvents that have come vaguely to the outer world. ““The Coreans were suspicious and fearful at the ontset,” sald Mr. Matsui, “lest Japan had come to conquer and wbsorb them, but they lave come gradually to realize that the enlightened reforms suggested by Count Inouye, the Japanese envoy there, are for the advancement and modernizing of Corea. He is well equipped for this work, as he signed the first treaty of peace and amity mado with Corea nearly twenty years ago, and was again concernod with the country in 1884. But the work of reform is very slow and it will be years before the country will emerge from the darkness ehe has acquired from China. That country has long claimed Corea as a dependency, and Chinese con- vatism has been pressed on the country. There are about 2,000 Chinese at Seoul, and these, with the outer Chinese influences, have kept Corea In the old ways and have prevented contact with the outer world. “But the reforms urged by Japan are be- ginning to manifest themsel continued Mr. Matsui. ie king and queen, as well as the cabinet, consult Count Inouye and concode largely to his judgment. He is frequently summoned to the palace where the king pers on the conduct of affairs. The king is a most just and fair man, although perhaps lacking in force of character. The queen has marked executive ability and her in- fluence is felt by the ministry. She is by far the first woman in Corea. “The administration of affairs left entirely with the Coreans. The royal houschold is being maintained as it was before the war, although the palace is much run down because of the lack of funds. The reform has brought about an increase of the cabinet from six, as it was before the war, to ten, the same as Japan's cabinet. The mew cabinet includes ministers of finance, foreign affairs, war, justice, public works, education, ete. All of the ministers are natives Coreans. They have little or no aptitude for social organization on modern lines, but they consult Count Inouye and are ready to accept suggestions, although their natural slowness makes the process of' ad- vancement tedious. ““The finances of the country are very bad. There 1s lack of money for public works. The currency is of ancient form and so cumbersome that the strongest men could not carry more than $30. There is no navy. The army ls meager, with several Americans serving as instructors. They have modern ¥ifles and somo Krupp guns, but they have Been allowed to rust and rot, and the sol- Qigrs can not handle them effectively. ‘We were in constant communication with the seat of war, as Seoul s on the line of the through telegraph line from Port Ar- thur. But there was little excitement among the Coreans and they accepted the “ struggle with their usual stoildity. “The Corean army and about 1,200 Japa- nese troops were sent against the Tonghaks, and the rebellion was about suppressed when I left. The Tonghaks are made up of two elements in the south of Corea, one a relig- fous sect and the other a class of robbers and brigands, in all about 70,000 The leaders brought the rich men to' the towns and forced them on pain of death to give up their money. The brigand element joined in the general extortion and pillage. Many depredations, cruelties and murders occurred. The Japanese and Coreans of Seoul subdued the outbreak. The Tonghaks fought with crude weapons, but hundreds of them would 1ly before a squad of twenty trained Japanese infantrymen.” Mr. Matsui stopped at Yokohama on his way here long enough to observe the Intense patriotism of his countrymen. The cele- bration of Japan's victories over the Chinese are of daily occurrence. The streets were lined with flags hung from the roofs and Joined in the middle of the street, making an arcado of flags. At night Japanese lanterns made the city resplendent. The Japanese press was doing its part in getting out fre- quent “extras” recording each new victory of Japanese arms. i being GREAT SAVING ON COAL. War Ships at tho West Indles to Be Sup- plied by Direct Shipment. WASHINGTON, March 7.—The equipment bureau of the Navy department has saved about $50,000 at one move by adopting the plan of supplying the United States fleet in the West Indies with coal by direct ship- ment. Coal is very high there, the prices paid averaging $7.30 per ton, except at St. Lucla, where competition has caused a slight reduction. The department has usually been obliged to pay this without protest, for in the case of a single ship it would not pay to make a shipment of coal from the United States and in other cases the vessels of our fleet have been kept mov dng from one port to another without a well defined program, and it was not possible to charter a collier to chase the fleet. But when: Admiral Meade took his fleet to the ‘West Indles he went away leaving a clearly defined itincrary at the department, and the equipment bureau seized upon the oppor- tunity to save money on the large amount ©f coal that would be burned. There is much complaint at the Navy de- partment of the action of the Panama Rail- road company in charging extortiofiate prices for coal supplied to our naval vessels at Colon. When the San Francisco was sent to that port in June last year the railroad company charged her $11 per ton for coal, and the Atlanta has just paid $10.75 per ton. Inasmuch as the naval vessels were sent to Colon almost solely for the purpose of pro- tecting the valuable property of this com- pany, which {s an American corporation, it Is feit at the Navy department that the action of the company in thus charging thres prices for coal required by the ships is, to Bay the least, singular. Bi-Monthly Labor Balletin, WASHINGTON, March 7.—The issuance of a bl-monthly bulletin by the Department ©f Labor will be commenced at the beginning of the next fiscal yoar. The publication is authorized by an act passed last month, and each issue will embrace about 100 octavo es. The bulletins will be restricted to ‘current facts as to the conditions of labor in this and other countries, condensations of state and forelen labor reports, the con ition of employment, and other matters of portance. The inaugural of th is In line with plans already accepted by four foreign governments, England, France, Russia and New Zealand, all of which are now publishing labor gazettes. Eftect of thd Anti-Lottory Law. WASHINGTON, March 7.—In the opinion of postal officers, the anti-lottery act passed by congress will have a far-reaching effect i suppressing lottery schemes in this coun try. Its provisions are expected to ef- feotually prevent the conveyance of lottery matter between the states, or introduction here from other countries by express com panies or common carriers. Through a limita- tion of jurisdiction the department has been equested to transport lottery and fraudu- t matter and express money orders for dnyestment in these schemes, and yet been scheme nally questions him for advice | deprived of the revenue from the postal money orders it would otherwiss have fe- sued. Lottery companies have corresponded with those interested, under weal tho mails, and given them instry use expross money orders, This defect will be eradicatod by the autherliy given in the act to the postmaster general to rofues to deliver to persons who are found to bo using the malls to defraud any class of mail mi ter, and to return it to the senders marki “fraudulent.” AMENDING a CIVIL SERVICE RULES. Moat of the Changes Made Necossary by the Extension of the System. WASHINGTON, March 7.—The president has approved sundry amendments of the civil gervice rules. These amendments are largely tormal, and were made necessary in consequence of the recent extension of the classification ia the departmental service to include messengors, asslstant messengers and watchmen, and the classification of the in- ternal revenue service. One of the amend- ments gives the Civil Service commission authority, in its diseretion, to reject the ap- plication or to refuse the certification of an applicant who has been guilty of a crime or of Infamous or notoriously disgraceful ¢ due Prior to this amendment the commis- sion only had power with roference to cortification In such cases. Age limitations | have been prescribed for the new class brought within the classified service by the recent extension. These limits are for mes- sengers or assistant’ messengers, not under 18 for page or messenger Loy, not under 14 nor over 18 years of age. A further amendment providos for trans- fers from the internal revenue service to a bureau in the Treasury department, in which business relating to the internal revenue 18 transacted, and from such n bureau to the internal revenue service, this' amendment being In all respects simifar to the provision now existing with reference to transfers from the eustoms service to the Treasury depart- ment, and from the Treasury department to the customs service, A proviso has been added which authorizes transfers from one department in Washington to another \with- out examination. This amendment has been made in view of the fact that the civil service law has now been In operation in the departmental service more than eleven years, and that a large pro- portion of the employes mow in these de- partments have entered the eervice through the civil service examinations, and the fur- ther fact that those who have not been so ap- pointed have had long experfence and have acquired a valuable knowledge not only of the business of the department in w they arc employed, but of the public service generally. In view of these considerations it was believed the timo had come when trans- fers from one department to another, where the transfer is to be to a place and a class of duties similar to those performed in the department from which the transfer is made, might be without examination and without detriment to the public interest. A further amendment to the vides that persons appointed as messengers, assistant messengers, watchmen, or in any other subordinate capacity below the positions of clerk and copylst, may be transferred after completing the probation of six months, if_not debarred by age limltations, to any other like subordinate positions. But they may not be promoted to the position of clerk or copyist, or to any place the duties of which are clerical. An exceptlon is made with regard to printers’ assistants in the bu- reau of engraving and printing, who are only eligible to transter to the grade of operatives in that bureau. rules CONCERNING MEXICAN FREE ZONE. Prospect of a War of Turiffs Disoussed from a Washington Standpoint. WASHINGTON, March 7.—The press dls- patches recelved from El Paso, Tex., to the offect that efforts are being made to induce the Mexican government to adopt retaliatory measures against the United States for hav- ing abolished the free trade zone privileges were shown the treasury officials today. So far as they knew the Mexican government had offered no. objection to the resolution while it was pending in congress, and now that it was a law it would be strictly en- forced. The regulations for this purpose are now being prepared and within the next few days customs officers at all of the ports of the United States will be notified that foreign goods intended for the ‘“free zone" will no longer be recelved for shipment in bond. When the dispatch concerning a meeting at Juarez, Mexico, to urge retaliation against the United States was shown to Minister Romero of Mexico he made the following statement: “Under the Mexican constitution and laws the Mexican states have no power to re- tallate against any forelgn government, and therefore whatever may be the wish of the Mexican citizens of Juarez, who, it is c;aimed, held a meeting yesterday at -that place, neither they nor the people of Chihuahua can do anything that will affect the com- merce of the United States on the frontier. It is only for the federal government to adopt any such policy should they think it fit to do s0. The collector of customs of Juarez is a federal officer and can only act on in- structions from the federal government.” While the congress of the United States has a_perfect right to enact any tariff law and Mexico cannot complain as long as her rights are not affected, and no unjust ds- criminations adopted, and while Senor Romero thinks that the recent law would be rather prejudicial to the interest of the United States citizens living on the frontier, rather than Mexican citizens, yet he says he dislikes to see anything like the beginning of a war of tariffs. EBOTH SONS DENY THE STORY, Alleged Quarrel In ths Famlly of Douglass Contradicted, WASHINGTON, March 7.—The following statement was made today by the two sons of the late Frederick Douglass: The statement telegraphed to the morning papers of the country that there Is or has been antagonism between us and our father's wife, or his widow, at any time is without foundation.

DOU CHARLES Interesting Copyright Cuse, WASHINGTON, March 7.—An important question relating to copyrights has been raised by a well known publishing house and is now under consideration at the Treas- ury department, old _copyright law made it ilegal to bring into the United States foreign copies of books copyrighted in this country. The law of 1891 umende the old law In some unimportant particu- lars, but expressly stated It was not_to g into’ effect until a subscquent date, July 1, 1801 The question invol whether th new law, not being retr ve, did not re lease from the importation prohibition, all books of American _authors copyrighted prior to July 1, 1891 Should it be held that the new luw took the place of the old one foreign editions of all American books writ- ten and copyrighted prior to 1891 might her after be imported free of duty and without regard to American copyright laws, which vould necessarily interfers with the publish- {ng business in this country.

WASHINGTON, March 7.—The official statement as to the total expense of con- gress has not yet been prepared and none will be given untll toward the close of the present week, when they will be put forth by Chairman Sayers of the house committee on appropriations and by Representative Cannon, with comments on the iInterests of demo- cratic and republican parties, respectively It is known, liowever, that the figures will not vary ‘much from those sent out by the Assoclated press when congress adjourned. The total will not be far from $496,000,000 for the entire session.. Assuming this to be correet, the total appropriations for 1895 and 1896 combined would be $088,230,685, that for 1805 being $192,230,685. . The estimates of the Treasury department as to the require- ments of the various departments made at the beginning of the session placed the total at $496,432,480. When money for expenditures were sent in they were accompanied by another estimate plac ing the probable revenue for 1896 at $47 07,407 1f this estimate should prove to be correct there would be a deficiency of about $10,000,000. Later estimates have, however, Increased the figures on the revenue for next vear, Representative Cannon of Tllinols, on be- halt of the republican minority of the house committee on appropriations, has prepared a summary showing the total expenditures of the Fifty-third congress. and comparing them with the expenditures of the so-called “billion dollar congress,” in which Mr. Can- non was at the head of the appropriation committes. The statement will be published tonorrow as a part of the Congressional Record. Tt says: “T avail myself of the opportunity to pre- sent, for the information of the house and of the country, a statement of the aggregate of appropriations made by this congress—the first half of Cleveland’s administration—as compared with the aggregate of the appro- priations for the Fifty-first and Fifty congresses, respectively, under Har administration. For this purpose I insert a comparative statement, which has been care- fully compiled and is correct.” From this statement it appears the ap- propriations of the Fifty-first congress, when Mr. Reed was speaker of the house and the president and the senate were republican, were in round numbers $958,000,000, while the appropriations for the Fifty-second congress, when the house was democratic and Mr. Crisp was speaker, were in round numbers §1,027,000,000, and the ap- propriations for this congress, _with president, house and senate all demo- cratic, are in round numbers $990,000,000. Moreover, the late sale of the thirty-year 4 per cent United States bonds—the payment of interest upon which is permanent—swells the total appropriations for this and the next fiscal year by $2,900,000, making the grand total actually appropriated by this congress in round numbers $993,000,000. This exceeds the appropriations made by the Fifty-first congress, called by our demo- cratic friends ‘the billion dollar congress,’ in round numbers by $5.000,000. This con- gress furthermore, in addition to the actual increase of appropriations, has authorized public works to be done under contraet, leaving the next congress to make appro- priations therefor as follows: By fortifica- tion acts, $325,000; by sundry civil act, $ 385,000; by District of Columbla act, $261 764; by naval appropriation act, $14,715,000; total, $21,686,754. Thus the appropriations and authorizations of this congress are seen to be In round numbers $1.015,000,000. The appropriations for the public service as a rule make dry reading, but to the careful student of public questions they tell more of the administrations and parties than can be gathered from volumes of words and pro- testations. “I call attention to the fact that the ap- propriations of pensions to the defenders of the republic in the war and to their widows and orphans by this congress under Cleve- land are $42,129,616 less than those made by the Fifty-second congress, the last two years under President Harrison. This $42,000,000 decrease gives in figures the tangible result of an unfriendly—I will go further, and say unjust—administration of the pension laws under Cleveland. “The condition of the country was far different under Harrison's administration from what it has been and is now under this administration. Then there was uni- versal prosperity; now there is universal ad- versity; then, under wise revenue laws, the people cheerfully contributed to the support of the government from their abundance and were glad when the treasury poured from its full coffers the nccessary money liberally and wisely to carry on the govern< ment, and, after all that was done, a sur- plus still remained to anticipate the pay- ment of the war debt. Now our people are out of employment, values are shrinking, and the people pay their taxes into the treasury with great effort and find such payment op- pressive. The surplus has disappeared from the treasury. The debt of the government, instead of decreasing. is increasing, and in- creasing, not to maintain resumption, as Is claimed, but to pay current expenses. This administration has Issued and sold United States bonds time and again, for the avowed purpose, it is true, of maintaining resump- tlon, but in point of fact it has taken the proceeds, it s taking the proceeds, and will continue to take the proceeds to pay the current expenses of the government. This congress has wholly failed to provide sufii- cient revenues, while it has increased ap- propriations, In the meantime, the admin- istration has rejected every practical effort of the minority to assist in remedying the evils that beset the treasury. This is a government of the people through parties, and there can be no true relief in the prem- ises until the people correct the error made in 1892 by giving the republican party full power In 1896, thereby enabling that ty to write its policy on the legislation id adm ration."
