THE C0REAN TROUBLE.
Probably the clearest statement
of the cause:; leading up to the
present difficulty between China
and Japan, that has been pub
lished, was furnished by Judge
Denny last Saturday to an Ore
gonian correspondent. His six
years in the diplomatic service of
the United States in China, and
as manv more spent in the ca
pacity of the confidential adviser
to the king of Corea, afforded
him an opportunity of familiar
izing himself with the conditions
of the several countries involved
in the present trouble, that very
few, if auy, have ever enjoyed,
and his statement of the causes
leading up to the present diffi
culty dissipates many misconcep
tions that have existed regarding
the complicated situation there.
He confirms the prevalent
opinion that the state department
of" this government is, with the
assistance of her British ally,
dominated by the Chinese, and
that in the continual aggressions
made upon Corea by China,
Great Britain has been the power
bthind the throne. The main
trouble lies in an attempt of
China to maintain a vassalage
over Corea, in which effort she
lias been assisted by agents of
the British government The
vassalage dogma, set up in 1&85,
by the Chinese, is based upon a
claim of tribute which h?.s been
acknowledged and satisfied, for
over two hundred j'ears, yet in
rioing so, Corea did not abdicate
her sovereignt)r, but on the con
trary she has during the past
twenty years managed her own
domestic affairs, and concluded
treaty arrangements with other
nations, including China herself,
in spite of the latter's attempt to
dictate. By these acts- Corea
exercised the fundamental pre
rogative of sovereignty, and at
all treaty conventions since 1882
when the American treaty was
.signed" the. subject of vassalage
was never intimated by China.
Since that time treaties; were
concluded by Corea with Great
Britain, Germany, Russia, Italy
and France. She also had treaty
arrangements with Japan and
other western powers. Each
treaty convention pledge 1 its gov-
CllllilUl IIS LUC piV-.1LL VtALiUH JL
Coreau self-government and to j
lend its good omces and as
sistance in righting- the wrong,
should any nation act unjustly
with Corea.
China now claims to be the
sovereign of Corea and attempts
to render nugatory the stipula
tions of all the Corean treaties.
In doing so the rights, privileges
aud concessions promised by
Corea to Japan and other west
ern nations have been greatly
encroached upon, because of the
intimidating influences brought
to bear upon her by the Chinese;
This disregard for treaty stipula
tions Js what Japan is now re
senting with her invading army
' she intends to compel the
Coreans to keep the faith already
pledged. The jealousy of China
and Great Britain has been
aroused by the advantageous
treaty arrangements concluded
with Russia and Japan and should
the present trouble terminate in
a war between China and Japan
there is every indication that the
I British government will lend its
influence to China's cause.
The prospect for the farmer
this year is anything else but en
couraging. Earlier in the season
crops gave promise of an abun
dant harvest, but the little grain
bug got in his work so effectually
that at least twenty per cent of
the gram, where the pest has
made its appearance, will be lost.
While yet the yield may be fair,
the grower stands in danger of
having: his
gram
cr-rAfA
below
a few
cents less per bushel will be
realized. Besides this, the out
look for-a market is anything but
flattering. WTheat is worth forty
cents, with no prospect of an im
mediate increase in the price.
At present oats can hardly be
disposed of at 25 cents per bushel
and advices from buyers of this
commodity are unusually gloomy.
His wool brought from eight to
ten cents," which hardly covers
actual cost of production and the
hop outlook is by no means
promising, probably twelve to
fourteen cents can be had at
A TREMENDOUS OVERLOAD.
The senate democratic confer
rees on the tariff bill are Voor
hees of Indiana, Harris of Ten
nessee, Vest of Missouri, and
Jones of Arkansas, and their
democratic associates from the
house are Wilson cf West Vir
ginia, McMillan of Tennessee,
Turner of Georgia, and Mont
gomery of Kentucky. These are
the men delegated to arrange a
tariff system that is to affect all
the industries of the United
States.
Taking all these seven states
together, that are represented in
this conference committee, which
is constituted to be the final ar
biter to determine for the entire
United States their industrial
policy, and consulting the returns
of the last census for statistics as
to their own industrial standing,
we find that their direct interest
in manufacturing pursuits is rep
resented by 47,437 establish
ments with $552,940,084 of cap
ital, with 469,935 employes who
receive $202,132,061 annually in
wages and turn out a product of
$880,166,237.
The state of New York has no
voice in the conference commit
tee. But in the state of New
York alone there were, in 1S90,
65,840 manufacturing establish
ments. The value of their capi
tal was $r, 130, 161, 195, and of
their output the even greater sum
of $1,711,577,671. The number
of their employes was 850,084,
and the sum paid annually in
wages was $466,846,642. In a
word, the concern of the single
state of New York in the issue
of this tariff controversy is twice
as great as that of all the states
represented by the democratic
members of this conference com
mittee from both senate and
house! And equally unrepre
sented among the democratic
conferrees are the great manufac
turing states of Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois.
The legislation of the country,
affecting its vital interests, is in
the hands of village, crossroads
and backwoods statesmen. Is
there any wonder that the indus
tries and finances of the country
are paralyzed? Civilization in
the United ' States has been and
still is forced to carry many
heavy loads, chief of which is
the democratic party. Ore-
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, July 23, 1894.
Grover's epistle to the free
traders still holds its own as the
absorbing subject of conversation
now before the Washington pub
lic. It was bad taste and an out
rageous assumption of authority
for Mr. Cleveland to have writ
ten that letter and it only aggra
vated the case when he compelled
Mr. Wilson to read it as a part of
his speech on the floor of the
house; but there is no denying
that the letter has had. at least
partially, the effect it was in
tended to have. It has made it
certain that the, house will never
agree to the senate amendments
to the tariff bill, because, as Sen
ator Hill significantly remarked,
such an agreement would merely
! result in getting the bill vetoed.
It has had anotner effect, how
ever, which it is certain was not
intended by it. It has wrought
a sufficient number of democratic
senators to control the senate,
with the help of the solid repub
lican vote, up to publicly declar
ing that they would refuse to
vote to accept any conference re
port that puts upon the free list
auy article upon which the sen
ate amendment placed a duty.
That is just the way the thing
stands at this writing. The
house will not accept the senate
bill, and the senate will not ac
cept the house bill. Now, the
only change that can take place
must involve the surrender of
either the house or the senate.
It can be surmised, without any
great risk of making a mistake,
that Mr. Cleveland will be able
to prevent any surrender on the
part 'of the house, and as the
democratic senators who added
the protection amendments to
the bill did so because of the
pressure from the states they rep
resent, it would seem that they
might be counted upon to stand
firm even if they were not
strengthened by their hatred of
Mr. Cleveland, not only because
of the insulting manner in which
he has tried to boss his party in
congress aye, and succeeded,
too from the day on which he
became president. Still, if there
is a break in the lines on either
side it is believed that it will be
on the part of the senate. The
republicans are playing the part
of onlookers at the contest, but
they are by no means disinter
ested. On the contrary. ' thev
are so much interested that Sena
tor Aldrich has asked that all un
paired republican senators be
on hand and to remain within
call until the tariff is in some
T 1 r tpi i

cans wish to accomplish ofce of!industry. Around Scio some
two things prevent . auy . tariff: 6oo acres is in flax this year In
legislation, 11 mat can De done;
otnerwise to aid in getting as
many of the senate amendments
as possible in the bill that finally
gets thtough.
Mr. Cleveland's alleged argu
ments in favor of the sugar trust
and of the Whiti ey Nova Scotia
coal syndicate, in which all the
world knows the money of his
closest personal friends is heavily
.1 .
invested, have greatly weakened j
his position and added to the
chances .for non-action on the
tariff bill. Everybody knows
that Mr. Cleveland's friends put
their money into that coal syndi
cate solely because he assured
them that free coal was a cer
tainty, and, although it is not
absolutely known, there are ex
cellent reasons for the belief that
other friends of his have ob
tained options on certain Cuban
iron mines upon assurances that
iron ore was also to be free.
Did some democratic senators
commit perjury when they swore
that they had never purchased
stock in the sugar trust? The
direct charge has been made
that they did, and the senate
has reopened the investigation
and is again taking testimony.
It is keeping the testimony very
dark, too, members of the com
mittee claiming to be afraid that;c" tuc WCUL

its publication might result in! There are not many instances
preventing the committee from j where people have been married

It is rumored that at least oiie:illind and bod)r and able to keeP
witness has sworn to having seen house alone aud even make jour
a written order for the purchase neYs b.v carriage unaccompanied
of sugar stock, which was given by any younger persons. Mr.
by a democratic senator and is aild Mrs. Preston Barger of near
now in existence, and to have Hornsburg have been married
told the committee in whose pos- sixty-one years. They were 111
session it is. The gossip con-' Eugene the first of the week vis
cerning this matter has been very U ting Preston's brother, Mr. Jas.
much enlivened by the statement j Barger of this city. The aged
that certain parties who had been1 couple came up from Harnsburg
snubbed by certain senators pro-.m a carnage alone and they both
posed to "get even" by furnish- get around better than many peo
ing the evidence to make a case! Ple ""ho haven't been married
of nerkirv against one senator in 'half so long. They came across
order that the whole business
niiorht be brought out in court.
O
There is little doubt in Washing
ton that perjury has been coin
milted, but there is very much
as to whether it will be proven, j
If written orders for the pur
chase of sugar stock are in ex
istence it is more likely that they
will be used to control senatorial
votes than that they will be pro
duced before the investigating
committee or in court.
The house on Saturday passed
by the necessary two-thirds vote
the joint resolution providing for
a constitutional amendment for
the election of United States
senators by a direct vote of the
people.
Governor Peunoyer says:
"Cleveland is another Charles I."
Not much! The millions upon
millions of loyal people will see
to it that the president keeps his
head. Charles I. didn't. Inter
Ocean. Pennoyer, of Oregon, says
Charles I. lost his head for doing
as Cleveland has done. Pennoy

a whirl at the ballot box, and he

Some weeks ago, Judge B. P.
Cornelius went to his stable one
morning, found the door open
and two horses gone, evidently
the work of thieves. After a
search of a few days they were
found near Portland, but the par

not caught then. Later suspis

and Steve DeBord, a lad aged
about 16 years. McMurray has
