San Fbancisco, Sept. 24. The steam
ship Rio de Janerio arrived in San Fran
cisco this morning from Asiatic ports,
bringing Associated Press advices of the
Corean war one day later than that re
ceived per steamer which arrived in
Victoria, B. Con Saturday last.
The war reports brought by steamer
Rio de Janerio are dated at Yokohama
on September 9, and they say : "Wildly
exaggerated reports of events in and
around Corea have been received from
Europe and America, the majority of
which were evidently telegraphed from
China. With regard to operations near
Phyoflg Yang it is certain that nothing
more serious than undecided skirmishes
have taken place. Lees than forty
Europeans and Americans remain in
Corea apart from the guards at the for
eign legations in Seoul. Before the war
7000, small Japanese merchants and
about 700 Cninese resided at open ports.
The Chinese have mostly disappeared
and the Japanese have waited develop
ments. The foreign department of Jap
an has given notice that duly accredited
newspaper correspondents may here
after accompany the military forces of
the empire and they will receive all the
consideration that can reasonably be
given by the commands of troops.
"The murder of two missionaries by
Chinese soldiers has been followed by
the assassination of a French customs
officer on the frontier of Tonequin.
These acts of violence are greatly em
barrassing to Pekin authorities at the
present time, and it is announced that
reparation will be offered.
"The work of strengthening defenses
at Ong, on the Chinese coaBt continues.
Japanese newspapers announce, ap
parently by authority, that applications
for war bonds exceed the total amount
of the loan required.

The Inter-State Fair.
Tacoma, Wash., Sept 24. Cassassa's
famous Midwinter fair band is now the
Interstate fair band. It arrived from
San Francisco in accordance with a con
tract made by telegraph, and opened its
engagement Saturday night, Sept. 22.
Two regular concerts will be rendered
daily, and on special days other music
will be given also. The band numbers
36 pieces and has been pronounced by
Sousa second to none in the United
States. It contains seven noted soloists
and a famous female cornet soloist.'
Saturday, the day on which the band
opened, was British Columbia day, one
of the most notable occasions of the
whole season. A better day for the
opening could not have been had. The
fair was crowded with visitors not only
from British Columbia, but from all
over the Northwest. They gave the
band the most enthusiastic of receptions.
Cassaesa and his men have already
played themselves into the hearts of the
regular visitors at the fair, and their en
gagement has had the effect of greatly
increasing the daily atfendance. .
British Columbia day proved the
greatest special day of the fair eeason eo
far. The arrangements were carried
out perfectly, and about three thousand
subjects of the queen returned to their
homes after the .celebration was over,
pleaded with the fair, pleased with
Tacoma, and profound admirers of the
energy, push and preserverance shown
by the people who conceived and ear
ned out the fair project. Two large ex
cursions were run from British Colum
bia to the fair. One from Vancouver,
left Friday night on the eteamer Yose
mite, which had 1500 people aboard.
The steamer arrived here early Saturday
morning, and left for home Sunday
morning at 9 o'clock. With the excur
sion came a number of city officials and
prominent people of the Canadian Paci
fic terminus.
The steamer Islander . from Victoria
brought even a larger party. On 'her
came Lieutenant-Governor Dewdney,
the chief executive "of the province,
Mrs. Dewdney, the mayor and city ' offi
cials, the president of the British Colum
bia Agricultural Society, the president
of the Nanaimo Board of Trade, Lieut.

Kow Shins; Vu Chinese Property.
London, Sept. 24. Officials of the
Japanese legation deny the story cabled
via Vancouver, B. C, that the Kow
Shung affair has been settled by the
Japanese government appologizing and
paying $75,000 indemnity. They add
Japan holds the sinking of the transport
was fully justified. . The Central news
has information that Captain Gales
worthy, the commander of the Kow
Shing to the Chinese government con
tained a clause, to be kept secret, that in
the event of a hostile move against the
ship by the Japanese, the Kow Shing
should be regarded as Chinese property.
