with China, the peninsula to the
I ? fior&east of the latter country has
been a source" of curiosity and de
sign to nearly -all commercial
nations. Despite all effort, how
ever, Corea has, till a few weeks
ago, remained closed to all outside
barbarians, and the manners and
-customs of her people, their station-
.. ary civilization, their stagnant se
clusion have been but subjects of
conjecture. Commodore Shufeldt,
of tke American, navy, who has
been for many years in oriental
' - waters, has succeeded in establish-
ing commercial relations between
tfig'Corean government and the
' United States. This, it is reported,
- --was only accomplished after two
, years of persistent application,
accompanied by the aid and recom-
,. mendation oil the Chinese and
;. .'Japanese govern ments. The Com
modore returned to this country
by way of San Francisco on the
30th of "July, and in an interview
with a Chronicle reporter, spoke
substantially as follows :
. "Corea is a country that has
! long been inaccessible to the world.
I believe I am the firsl while man
who has ever trod the soil of the
-interior, and therefore, perhaps, I
im a curiosity. So far as I saw
them, the people of Corea are
... .Steady attached to their country,
. have no disposition to emigrate,
which accounts for their exclusive
"' nes"s heretofore, but are possessed
of a lively curiosity. On landing
in Corea to meet the two Ministers
appointed by the Icing to negotiate
- . this treaty, two officers accompan
ied mn for en mo distance into the
- interior. "We were unarmed, but
were not molested. The ioads over
which we traveled were lined with
people for miles, attracted probably
by "their first opportunity to look
.-upon the face of a white man. In
I some instances they crowded
around us, and 1 suppose com
men ted upon our .strange dress and
appearance, but they made no
: . attempt to molest us. "We pardoned
. , their obtrusiveness, because we
. -" , were probably a great mystery to
them.
-'-- The Cureans look much unlike
TChinamen. Their complexion is
light, their hair dark, long and
" - wiry, -and their eyes black. They
remind mp of the North American
vlndian, and I believe the resem-
- iblarice is sufficiently close to justify
the belief that Corea furnished the
y-shiateriaHo populate .this country
.originally. All the difference be-.
Aiisreen the two races could have
J-Jfc&feh produced by climate and
""mode of living after the immigra-
tidri here. Owing to the fact that
V naturalists have never had an op-
v"-i:.portu.nity- to investigate Corea,
(V -.this resemblance has not been ear-
; :- - ried out to its logical conclusion.
vj..,. . '.'All the occupation the Coreans
have -is agriculture, and the product
.. . of .the soil is mostly consumed at
Home. They export a little rice
and a few beans to Japan, but they
have no'commerce and no marine.
-:it All their carrying is done on ani
mals or by means of imperfect
boats on, the rivers. They appear
.inoffensive and not disposed to gb
to war with anobody, and yet the
mass of the people are said to be
""p'urious in.fegard to outside affairs.
""" TKe 'country is ruled by a kinjr,
who, in his own dominion, is an
absolute despot, having complete
power over ir.i lives ami property
-.. " bfOae most noble of his subjects.
jjHeJa assisted in governing by m
counoij selected from the nobility
'wWo have charge of the various
- departments judicial, war, financi
ISPMfWl and interior departments. The
person of the Icing for centuries
ft -bks been absolulelr inaccessible,
m and no person of his own race,
h TMraoh leas a fqrigner, has been able
'to (M into his presence. It is sac-
! rilegc to utter tire uamc ho lias re-
coi ved from Iris suzerain, and that '
by whioh he is known in history is
only siven him after his death. It
" is high treason to touch his person

wnonv irom power. About a vear
since a plot to gain control of the
government was discovered among
the nobles, and every person in any
waj' connected with it was behead
ed. This treatment of the parti
cipents in the imbroglio was a sal
utarv lesson. Although the king
wields such power, there are two
political parties among the nobles
of Corea, One. party is called the
progressists, the other by a name
which implies their antipodes,
those opposed to progress. The
former party is at present in power,
a fact which lendcred the negotia
tion of our treaty possible."
The treaty has notyer been rat
ified, but it is thought that at the
December session of congress the
matter will be jjiven affirmation.
Mom'axjl fc among the U eali
ties that are enjoying an excep
tional prosperity at this time. In
Helena there is a genuine boom in
real estate speculation. Land tlrat
could have been bought in that vi
cinity a few weeks ago for ten dol
lars an aero cannot be obtained
now for a hundred. Three new
banks have been started in the
town within a period of four
months. One cause of all this ex
citement is the rapid progress in
the Northern Pacific railroad, and
the conviction that Helena is so
favorably situated that it must
reap the benefit of much of the
traffic and commercial develop
ment that are expected io follow.
The town willbe nearly midway be
tween cmraral imDorlant.trade ren
ters. It is distant from Chicnjro
1,565 miles J from San Francisco,
1,300; and from Astoria, 910.
That the world's news is more
a matter of sensation than actual
fact, is best illustrated by the cable
dispatches. Before the Egyptian
troubles, column after column were
telegraphed to London relative to
the Irish question. Xow the ICm
erald Isle gets b.riof mention. Not
that matters in that distracted
province are in any better shape
than they were two week" ngo,
but because Arabi 13ey is "ihe Ia3t
sensation." "Tis just like a stage,
one scene is forgotten in the. eager
ness of the audience to sec "what's
coming next."
A Hebald correspondent, sum
ming up the Egyptian question,
says: France is largely oppose .1 to
England, and but for the fear of
Bismarck Gladstone would have to
call of his war dogs immediately.
Politicians of all shades ask me
why it is the American press pub
lishes such one-sided reports of the
doings in Egypt. Several corres
pondents of Paris journals, writers
whose reputations stand unques
tioned,boldly denounce many items
as lacking in truth.
Ix a skirmish between the. Eng
lish troops and the Egyptians un
der Arabi Bey, last Saturday near
Alexandria, the English comman
der reports a loss of four killed
and.twenty-nine wounded. He says
that the object of the reconnoi
sance was obtained, he simply
desiring to see how strong A raid's
position was. ,
