PRISONER OF WAR
American Citizen Held
by the Japanese.
HE PLANNED TO AID CHINA
By Blowing Up the Enemy's
Vessels;
CAPTURED WITH HIS EXPLOSIVES
He Is in a Serious Position, but
It Is Not Likely That He Will
Be Shot.
Washington, Nov. B.— Officers of the
Chinese legation say that -Mr. Moore,
who was formerly an interpreter of the
legation here and who was recently ar
rested with others in Japan on the charge
of conspiracy to blow up the Japanese
navy by totpedoes, has not been acting
under the authority of the Chinese Gov
ernment or of the Chinese Minister. The
legation is alive to the serious position
Moore is in— a prisoner of war, subject to
the treatment accorded military suspect?.
It is expected that the United State-
Consul at Yokohama will report to th?
State Department ou the arrests, after
which the Chinese Minister may take
some action in behalf of bis former at
tache.
> At the Japanese legation It is said
Moore Is in no danger of being shot, be
headed or receiving other summary pun
ishment. They are not accused ot being
spies and are therefore not subject to
death sentences. Jt is believed at tbe
legation that the prisoners will be released
after their purpose "of destroying the
Japanese navy within eight weeks" has
been effectually disposed of.
IS NOT LIKELY.
Germany Will Prevent United Action
by the Powers.
London*, Nov. 9.— -The Standard says
there is little hope of united action by the
powers in response to China's appeal to
them to Intervene to bring about peace be
tween her and Japan. Russia and France
are willing, but Germany's reluctance will
prevent action. *
THROUGH MANCHURIA.
Winter Will Not Keep the Japanese
Troops Back From Houkden.
Chemulpo, Oct. 12. — Affairs are not
working smoothly in Seoul. The promises |
of the Tai-Won-Kuti, profusely tendered
wliile the question of bis appointment to
the prime ministry was still undecided, are
now adhered to only as suits his conve- j
nience or fancy. Many of the great re
forms to which he pledged himself are re
tarded by his direct interference. The i
most important of these have been duly
proclaimed and to a limited extent put in
operation, but it is becoming daily more ;
evident that if Japauese pressure were not
strongly exerted the kingdom would be I
allowed to drift back to its former state of j
degradation without a sign ot opposition !
on the part of the native ruler?, aud prob- •
ably with their concurrence. The Tat- !
Won-K devotion to the old order of i
things is most stubbornly manifested iv I
matters of ceremony and etiquette, and is
sometimes carried to a ludicrous extreme. !
Among other improvements introduced by j
the Japanese, a new police organization j
was prominent, It was modeled upon the
system of Tokio, and as a matter of dis- j
cipline the officers were instructed to salute i
all Government dignitaries in the usual j
military way, by standing erect and touch
ing their caps.
When the Tai-Won-Kun was first made
the object of this supposed courtesy lie
went into a rage, had five policemen sum
marily arrested and imprisoned, and
caused the Chief of Police to be dismissed
for issuing orders subversive of imme
morial Korean usages and traditions. For
a wretched guardian of the public peace
to appear conscious of the presence of a
magnate of bis rank was, under any cir
cumstances, an unheard of piece of pre
sumption, but to offer a salute in any other
form than that of groveling upon the
earth was past all tolerance. Unfortu
nately the Tai-Won-Kun's caprices are
not all of so harmless a nature. He not
only resists every measure which he thinks
calculated to weaken the privileged classes,
but has already begun to exercise his
especial faculty of intrleue In dangerous
directions. Sis intellectual superiority to
the officials by whom he is surrounded is
beyond dispute, but his abilities are ex
erted exclusively to bis personal advan
tage ami that of bis favorite relatives.
For tbe son who reigns he has nothing but
contempt, and his strong desire is to de
pose the actual monarch and place another
of his children upon the throne. Ab
sorbed in this project, he gives no heed to
the remonstrances of the Japanese Min
ister, and appears wholly unmindful of the
fact that the power which restored him to
political eminence may at any moment
again consign him to obscurity.
The situation has become 30 awk ward
that a firmer hand than that of Mr. Otori,
the present envoy from Japan, is re
quired to control it. By a seiies of mis
chances, the representatives of the Island
empire, though generally abie men, have
successively failed to satisfy the highest
necessities of their office, ever since the
establishment of diplomatic relations in
1876. More than one of them has had re
markable opportunities for winning great
distinction, but in no case have these
chances been improved. Ilinalmsa, wbo
was driven out of Seoul by rioters ten
years ago, might have made himself
potent and renowned, but the occasion
slipped away before he had the reioliuinn
to grasp it. Oishi, who was sent in 1893
to repair the errors of an inefficient prede
cessor, could find no way of exhibiting de
termination ,and inflexibility but that of
treating the Korean Ministers with a
harshness little short of cruelty, and thus
created a scandal which could only be al
layed by his hasty recall. Otori, who fol
lowed him, appears to bave done his work
conscientiously and well, with forbear
ance for all weaknesses, yet witb full de
termination to fulfill the instructions of
his superiors; but the task of reconstruct
ing an utterly corrupt and worthless sys
tem of government has proved to be be
yond his strength.
Perhaps a higher degree of authority
than that wielded by an envoy Is essential
in dealing with an unmanageable Prime
Minister who is also the father of the
sovereign, and who considers himself in
, finitely superior in rank to any Japauese
be has yet encountered. That this Is
likely to be the case is indicated by the ap
pointment, of Count Inouye, a member of
the Japanese Cabinet, to the post of Em
bassador at Seoul. The standing and the
qualifications ol Count Inouye are well
known, lie is one of the active leaders of
the present administration, and his skill
and energy have often beon tested in criti
cal emergencies. He went to Korea in
IS7G. and negotiated the first treaty with
a foreign state ever enacted by that coun
try. Since then he has been a close ob
server of events in the peninsula. During
his term of office as Minister of Foreign
Affairs he carefully studied the evils
which now call for immediate remedy, and
is now pr<-p*red to handle them effica
ciously. The fact that a statesman of the
highest grade gives up his occupation at
home to undertake the preservation of
civil order and security in the neighooring
kingdom shows that the complications are
peiiously regardea by the Government of
Japan.
On the 27th of September General Yn.m
agata issued a stirring address to the army
which lie command-, the language of
which indicates that a rapid march through
Manchuria is in contemplation and possi
bly a descent upon Peking. The soldiers
are given to understand that they will
coon be called upon to "push boldly for
ward and capture the capital of our foes."
There is some question as to whether this
io recast is to be taken literally so far as
the army of Korea is concerned. Although
the Japanese authorities conceal their
plans as carefully as ever it is commonly
believed that tbe task of assailing the
Chinese capital is to be undertaken by
General Oyama's troops, and ihat Vama
gata's column is to proceed no further than
Moukden. Public opinion lias, however,
nothing but conjecture to rest upon and
the entire course of military operations
may De changed at a day's notice. The
duty that lies immediately before the
divisions under Yamaguta are the passage
oftbeYalu River and the occupation of
Kewleen (or Chiallan), a strongly fortified
town, about thirty miles from the frontier.
Kewleen staud- upon light ground and it
is surrounded by much more inaccessible
wall* than ttiose of Pbyong-Yang, but,
judging from recent experiences, it is not
likely to offer much obstruction to the
Japanese advance. From that point the
distance to Moukden is 150 miles. There
are several intervening places at which an
effective stand might be made by a reso
lute combatant, but nothing is expected to
prevent the arrival of the army atfits des
tination by ibe middle of November. A
great deal has been said about the dangers
to which the invaders will be exposed on
the approach of winter, but these predic
tions are believed to be much exaggerated.
All comparisons between the present en
terprise and Napoleon's Russian campaign
are wholly overestimated. The Japanese
will be virtually unopposed and can reach
the ancient capital of Manchuria loug be.
fore the extreme cold sets in. They are
amply provided with every requisite for
comfort, and should it be found expedient
fur them to remain there until the return
of spring the Chinese will not be at al! dis
posed to disturb them.
A few additional items concerning the
capture of Pbyong-Yang have been offi
cially published by the Japanese War
Department. The total number of earth
works thrown up by the Chinese outside
the city's wails was twenty-seven. Fifteen
of these stretched along the southern slue
of the Tai-Tong River, each having a
front of about 135 meters. Their average
height was four meters and the exterior
trenches were deep. Mines were laid be
neath these works, but nothing is said as
to whether any of them were exploded or
not. The southern gate of the city was
defended by five forts, in endeavoring to
hold which the Chiuesedid then best fight
ing. Four other forts were erected on a
hill north of Phyoug-Yang, two near the
gate of seven stars and one on the road
from Gensan. From documents found at
the deserted headquarters, it is computed
that the Chinese force consisted of 13,000
men.
The wounds received by General Oshima
at Phyong-Van? were sufficiently severe to
keep him under surgical treatment for
nearly a month. lie left the hospital in
that city on September 13 and proceeded
to Wiju. The Japanese remark with sur
prise that in many parts of America the
credit of the Phyong-Yang campaign is
awarded to General Yamagata. As a mat
ter of fact that officer had absolutely
nothing to do wl.tb it. He had only just
arrived in Korea when the battle was
fought, and had not traveled farther nortii
than Seoul. It is believed in Japan that
the plan of operations was devised In
Tokio and that the various movements
were directed from the imperial head
quarters. The details of the attack were
executed by Generals Oshiiuaand Tatsuml
at the south and from the east by Colonel
Soto tinder General Oseki.
Disorderly outbreaks are of frequent
occurrence in the Interior ot Korea, calling
in some cases for active interference on
the pait of Japanese troops. The opinion
that these disturbances are the work of
the Togako insurgents is not universal.
Many believe that the general overthrow
of authority in all but the central pro
vinces has encouraged adventurers of all
classes to defy the law and prey upon
their weaker neighbors. The Togakus
are supposed to still keep up their organ
ization, but their participation in the riots
which now alarm the populace is not
altogether credited.
. Among the examples of personal bravery
shown by the Japanese in Korea, the fol
lowing have been brought especially to
the attention of the Emperor: A bugler
named Shira Kawn Genjiro, attached to
the brigade which captured Tong-kwan,
finding that his signals of attack did not
reach all the troops, climbed to the top of
a hill where he was exposed to a deadly
fire, He was struck in the breast by a
bullet, but, though exhorted to retire, con
tinued to sound the advance until he fell
dead. The bugle, when taken from his
■rasp, was wet with the blood that had
gushed from his mouth at the last blast.
A private named Honda Jukicbi, who
took part in the assault on the Gembu
gate of Phyong-Yang and saw several of his
comrades wounded in the attempt to force
an entrance, made a dash at the wall,
scaled It alone, jumped down among the
defenders, fought his way to the gate and
threw it open for the admission of his regi
ment, miraculously escaping without in
jury. This story, at first received with
ridicule by foreign newspapers in Japan,
has been thoroughly confirmed, and the
daring soldier lias been promoted tor his
gallantry.
The returning Korean envoy from the
United States arrived home October 23.
CHINESE DUPLICITY
Claimed by Japan to Have Caused
the Korean War.
Yokohama, Oct. 24.— The extra session
of Parliament was opened October 18 by
the Emioror in person, who addressed
the two houses as follows:
I announce to the members of the Diet mat
1 have convoked this extraordinary session in
order mat my ministers of state may introduce
bills of great urgency relating to the expendi
tures of the army and navy. I regret that
China has lost -sight of her duly ami failed to

fairs. Hut as hostilities have begun, tbey can

umphant. You will devote your exertions to
the accomplishment of Ibis end.
The Emperor was followed by the Presi
dent of the Cabinet, Count Ito, who re
viewed the situation to the present time,
and called especial attention to the con
tradictory course pursued by China in
demanding on tbe one band that Korea,
being an independent state, should be left
entirely free from Japanese interference,
and insisting on the other hand that, be
ing a tributary state, subject to China,
she snould he kept under China's exclu
sive control. Count Ito submitted as proof
of China's intractability the correspon
dence between the two empires immedi
ately preceding the war. Prom this cor
respondence it appears that China origin
ally assumed a position of authority over
Korea, which she was well aware would
uot be admitted by Japan. She asserted
on June IG that her troops were sent to
the peninsula solely to suppress a rebellion
in her "subject state." thus raising a
point of controvery a*, the outset.
On learning that Japan intended like
wise to dispatch troops the Chinese Gov
ernment proceeded on June 9 to dictate
the number that should go and to request
that they should not be allowed to pene
trate beyond the coast. To this proposi
tion it was replied, on June 12. that Japan
must "exercise her own judgment as to
the number," and that although the troops
"would not be sent where their presence
was not deemed necessary, no restriction
would be placed upon their movements."
Five day* later, on June 17, the Japanese
Government earnestly suggested that t.'ie
two empires should "unite their efforts
for the speedy suppression of the insur
gents" and should theu "jointly dispatch
a permanent committee to Korea with a
view to the reform of the internal admin
istration and the preservation of order in
the future." To this China responded, on
June 22. that "the idea might be excellent,
but Korea must ba left to carry out re
forms by herself." China was not dis
posed to undertake the task aud Japan
"was precluded from interfering by the
fact that she had recognized Korea's inde
pendence." It was therefore expected
that tbe Japanese military forces would
bs withdrawn from the kingdom.
A long dispatch was communicated on
June 29 by Viscount Mutsu. the Japanese
Minister of Foreign Affairs, explaining
wilh extreme moderation the dangers of
allowing Korea to remain in her chaotic
state, regretting that China would not con
sent to participate in the work of estab
lishing a sound government in the king
dom, and stating that "the adoption of
measures looking to permanent peace and
tranquillity" was requisite not only for the
sake of Korea, but for the seem of
Japac, and the general welfare of Eastern
Asia. The Japanese forces, consequently,
could not be removed until these essential
conditions should be guaranteed. This
document was followed by a telegram
from Viscount Mutsu, dated July 14, once
more recounting the evils of postponing
the establishment of order in Korea, and
deploring the refusal of China to co
operate in Japan's labors. The fact was
referred to that the British Minister at
Peking had eudeavorcd without effect to
bring about a better understanding, the
Chinese authorities declining to discuss
any subject but that of the withdrawal of
tbe Japanese troops. The correspondence
was brought to a close with these words:
"The only conclusion to bo drawn from
these circumstances is that the Chinese
Government is inclined to precipit.ite com
plications, and at this juncture the Japan
ese Government finds itself relieved from
all responsibility for any events growing
out of the situation."
At the termination of Count Ito's re
marks several bills were presented provid
ing for the emergenci-s of war, sanction
ing tie expenditure of 150.000,000 yen and
authorizing loans to tbe amount nf 100,
--000,000 yen. The following day, October
19, was occupied wiih routine business,
and on the _oth and '.'lst the war bills were
passed with enthusiastic unanimity. Reso
lutions were voted expressing gratitude for
his Majesty's devotion to the conduct of
the war, conveying thanks to the ai my and
navy, and exhorting the Government to
spate no effort for the realization of the
nation'- hopes. On the L"_d the session
was closed by a final message from the
sovereign, in wbich his satisfaction with
the promptness shown in meeting bis
wishes was cordially declared.
English newspapers in Japan publish
an unconditional statement that the Jap
anese Government has tendered an apology
to Great Britain on acconnt cf the Kow
sbing affair nnd promised to pay an in
demnity of 57.">,000. The correspondent of
the Associated Press is authorized to give
an absolute denial to the story.
The Korean Prince Wi-Hwa arrived at
Hiroshima with his suite on October 20
and on the 23d visited the Emperor and
presented his credentials as embassador.
After the biidience be called upon the
members of the Cabinet, who are new in
Hiroshima, and was subsequently entei
tained by the imperial household.
Tiie Nielli Niciii newspaper (semi-offi
cial) announces on authority that the Em
peror has sanctioned a war expenditure of
44,292,470 yen for the army and 15.704,467
yen for the navy. The Government bus
made use of 23,033,526 yen, leaving 36.958,
--058 still available.
Most of the Chinese prisoners captured
at Pbyong-Yang have been brought to
Japan and distributed in various parts of
the country. Fifty-five arrived in Tokio I
on October 15, aud were awaited at the
railway station by crowds of people, wbo
were not sparing in expressions of con
tempt and derision, though nothing like
violent abuse was indulged in. The police
made every effort to suppress even the
jeering outcries, but not altogether with
success.
The prisoners, who were mostly ailing,
were conducted to one of the lied Cross
Society's hospitals. Tbeir appearance
was wretched and pitiful in the extreme.
They had nothing but rags to cover them,
and their condition made them offensive
to all who approached them. They were
thoroughly washed, greatly to the aston
ishment of the majority, given clean ap
parel and supplied with wholesome fond,
on receiving wbicb they shed tears pro
fusely. Their belief bad been that on
reaching Tokio they would be put to
death and that they had been thus far
spired only to be exhibited to the popu
lace of the capital. After three day. of
good treatment and ample nourishment in
the hospital they could scarcely be recog
nized as the same beings. The gratitude
they avow is without measure, and they
ask only that they may be kept in Japan
and allowed tn work for tbeir support
after complete recovery. Scarcely any of
them can read or write.
The gunboat Akagi has been thor
oughly repaired and is now on service
again with Admiral Ito's fleet The
Akagi is a native-built vessel.
The Empress has made with her own
hands 230 dozen bandages and sent them
to the hospitals iv Korea.
The number of Chinese still living and
pursuing their vocations in Yokohama is
1240, not one of whom has suffered moles
tation at any time, whereas the Japanese
have without exception been driven,
either by actual force or by threats of vio
lence, from all the Chinese ports.
Apart from his contribution of 100,000
yen to the army and navy funds, Marquis
Mayeda, the ex-dainiio of Kaga. has given
20,000 yen for the relief of the families of
any of bis clansmen who may be killed in
battle. Msrquis Asano, ex-daimio of Aki,
has set aside .WOO yen for a similar pur
pose in his province. The army fund has
been enlarged by donations of 15,000 yen
from Duke Mori, ex-daimio of Choshin:
10,000 from Count li, ex-dainiio of Ilikone;
5000 from Marquis Ilnsokawa, ex-dnimio
oflligo; end 3000 from Count Toda, ex
daimio of Ogaki. Contributions to the
army fund now aggregate upward of
900,000 yen. The total of the navy fund
exceeds 350.000 yen.
GOES MERRILY ON.
Brazilian Revolution Shows No Signs
of Ending.
Rio Janeiro, Nov. B.— The revolution
continues in Rio Grande do Sul, and dur
ing the last week the revolutionists
be gaining ground.
Tiiev captured Santa Ana, Santo
Christo and San Mateo. They succeeded
in capturing a lot of arms and the garri
sons at these places all joined them.
It is now reported that a conspiracy ex
ists among the ships of the fleets to go
over to the rebels, and several changes in
commanders have taken place to avoid
this, but the rebels claim all
this is useless, and it is not
officers on whom they count, but
on sailors and marines, and they claim to
be sure they have three as good ships as
are in the navy on their side if the revolu
tion continues after November.
It is the general opinion that after Mo
raes is inaugurated there may be quiet for
a few weeks and then serious riots will
take place in which foreigner., as a rule,
will be the victims.
Peixoto will assume supreme command,
but will not relinquish to Moraes or any
other.
New York, Nov. 9.— A special from Bio
Janeiro says: Some artillerymen here,
having been ordered to Pernambuco. flatly
refused to move, and a detachment of in
fantry was sent to the artillery barracks
to restore order.
The artillerymen barred the barracks
and prepared to defend themselves, all tbe
time shouting, "Down withPeixoto! Down
with hunger!" Finally, their colonel ap
pearing, they listened to bis speech recom
mending obedience and promising that the
Government would redress their wrongs
when ordor was restored.
Twenty of the ringleaders were then ar
rested by the infantry and immediately
shot.
HAVE NO FEARS.
American Line Officers Say the
In land Is Safe.
New York, Nov. B.— -Inquiries made by
the Associated Press at the offices of tbe
American Line of steamships shows that
tbe officers of that company do not feel
any anxiety about the safety of the steam
ship Rhynland on that line, wbich, ac
cording to a sensational story published
here, is now six days oveidtie on her voy
age from this port to Antwerp.
Under the most favorable conditions of
weather the officers of the American Line
say that the Rhyuland could not have
reached her destination before Monday or
Tuesday last, aud in such weather as has
been reported on the Atlantic the steamer
would have gone at greatly reduced speed.
The Rbvniand has on board about ISO
passengers.
London. Nov. B.*— The sensational story
circulated in New York, to the effect ihat
the Red Star steamer It lynland was six
days overdue at Antwerp from New York,
and that the delay in ber arrival was
causing creat anxiety, Is without the
slightest foundation ie truth. The Rbyn
land arrived st Antwerp Monday last, and
she will anil next Saturday on her return
for New York.

Portland. Or., Nov. B.— Governor Pen
noyer. in an interview to-day on the late
election, said:
"Two years ago the people jumped out of
the frying-pan into the fire this year they
have jumped back into the frying-pan
again. This election landslide is really an
unwitting rebuke to Cleveland for adhering
to the Republican financial policy until the
country is nearly bankrupt."
MARKS ON BALLOTS.
A Decision That Will Have Very Far-
Reaching Consequences.
Lansing. Mich., Nov. B.— The Supreme
Court to-day handed down the most im
portant decision affecting the present
method of voting that has ever been made.
On the question of what constitutes a
distinguishing mark on a ballot, which
mark is prohibited by law. the court
j unanimously held that any mark
j other than the single one appropriate to
i designate the intention of the voter is a
J distinguishing mark. The case was
j brought in the contesting of tho lights of
I two local candidates of Bay City, who
I were ostensibly elected at a spring election
j a year and a halt ago. By the decision
j both are ousted from office. The result
; of this decision will be far-reacblng.
The court holds that if two tickets on an
I official ballot are identical the mark
: ing of a cross over each is illegal; also
| that to mark a cross over any ticket and
j then before each name on such ticket, or
j placing a cross before the name of a candi
; date and then erasing the name of his op
j ponent on another ticket is illegal. In
f substance the opinion bolus ihat a single
mark is a vote and is sufficient to indicate
the voter's intention, and that a second
mark might be agreed upon as a means of
identification. It has been the practice of
election inspectors to count all such doubly
marked ballots so that under this decision
any of the elections held under the Aus
tralian voting system may, it is believed,
be contested.

question as to what would be done about

EXPLOSIVES USED
By a Burglar to Open a Safe at
Modesto.
Modesto, Nov. B.— Some time during
last night the fireproof safe in the private
office of the Modesto Lumber Company's
office was blown open by burglars.
A hole was bored through the too,
through which an explosive was put. One
door was blown off its hinges and the
other bady wrecked. A castirou box which
had been inside of the safe was found 300
yard*, from the office.
It had been pried open, but it contained
no money, so the burglar secured nothing.
The large burglar-proof safe in the main
office was not tampered with.
There is no clew to the perpetrators
further than that the brace and bit used
by the burglars were stolen from a wagon
shop in this vicinity.
