Henator Jones for his wonderful pa
tience and sagacity In the management
of the bill/ and Mid that the senator
had won the esteem and respect of his
countrymen everywhere and so he
would call him “Honest Brutus.” "Ca-

AFTER OATES’ SCALP.
The Sliver Coins Story Used Against
On leaf Candidacy.
lUrminghsm, July 23.—Col. WUliam C.
Oatee, Democratic nominee for governor,
at Diount Springs Sunday and
eelved a copy of a circular from H. M.
T«uc*no:k, containing the charge that
Oates' frienda arc circulating sllvt^r coins
of 1M4 to prove Democrats are now coin'
ing the silver purchased under the Sher
man act. The circular contains a tele
gram from James R. Maxwell, at Tusx.i-
looea. making tho charge, and mo di
rector of mints’ reply to Lafe l*ence. sir.
TVmbeneck says, in concluding tho cir
cular:
rum this it appears that Mr. Oates
has secured a fow pieces coined as souvo-
nits, and is exhibiting same to the people
of. Alabama as proof that the prerent
administration la coining tho silver pur
chased under tho Sherman act. Any
party driven to such deception in trying
to bunco tho people with u few pieces
of new coined silver, ought to utnk Into
the depths of infamy. Car* fraud and
deception go further than thla? After de
monetising silver, then refusing to coin
tho seigniorage, and now trying to beguile
and mislead honest voters by coining a
few pieces to be used on tho stump by
a fow political bunco fcteereiu?”
To all this, Col. Oates writes to the
Age-Herald the following reply:
My reply to all of this is that I never
iv one of the souvenir or proof silver
dollars to which ha refers, and did not
know that they w#-e In existence until
tw the resolution offered In tho house
of representatives by Mr. Pence and his
correspondence with tho president and di
rector of the mint, and, of course, i
never exhibited thorn, and never saw one,
and never mad# any statement in any
speech or elsewhere that any silver was
being coined, except /motional pieces, at
tho Philadelphia mint, and never etated
that but once, and then it was done to
correct a false statement which was
made by a Kolblte speaker. Tho telegram
to Dunning from Maxwell, I am fully
satisfied states a falsehood, us do the let
ters named. I never heard of such a
thing before; and if Maxwell does not
furnish proof of what he states, which
l demand, I brand his statement as a
lie. Mr. T&ubeneck has the effrontery to
ny In his note to me that ’any party
driven to such deception tn trying to
bunco the people with a few pieces of
new coined silver ought to sink into the
depths of Tnfamy.' etc. If my party were
to fall into the depths of infamy, of
which there is rot the slightest proba
bility, or Into the internet regions, the
first persons it would meet would le Tau-
beno.'fc and Pence, the princes >r bunco
steerers and political frauds. The enure
story, which they are sucking to magriirv
into great Importance, ana hatch M up
for the purpom of injuring me. and ts a
huge lie and utterly devoid of any sem
blance of truth. When the fth of August
passes. Taubencck wlU tint in the result
a proper response to his coarse and un-
gentteroanly note.”
Corean affairs, In spite of the secre
cy wikh «w>Mdh Oriental diplomacy ob
scures them, are well defined.
China refused to aid Japan in restor
ing order In the much-disturbed penin
sular. denying -the authority of any
other Chan Corea’s euxerhui to inter
fere in Us reform.
Japan denies that Corea is China’s
vassal, citing the treuties wJtfi various
oountries, 'the first of which was signed
with Japan, recognising iche Independ
ence of Cbrea, and the fact ‘that Co
rea appointed an Envoy to the United
States nJc placed under the tutelage
of or presented by the Chinese emtus-
eador.
Japan liras -troops occupying Seoul
and Chemulpo under protect of China.
The 'latter country has proposed the
medktuion of Russia, which Japan has
refused. If all •the powers intervene,
China 1 a suzerainty must come to an
end, and the diplomacy of the yowers
exaoui that it shall be retained.
China has -to fear from a war with
Japan, the armed Intervention of all
powers, by which It would lose its suze
rainty, and the friendship of Russia,
by Which it would lose Corea.
The only alternative is 4o compro
mise -with Japan, and Chinese diploma
cy, aggravating naive as U is, has dis
cerned this since *t suggested Rus
sia’s arbitration, but it sent un army
to protect its tributary. This army
is commanded toy Gen. Leou-Meng-
Tohouun, wno opposed the "French at
Formosa. It aent, also, a squadron
under command of Admiral Ting.
China's reason for this dtoplay of
arms was wot to impress Japan avow
edly, but to pacify Corea, Which Japan
had already pacified. The Japanese
reply bo «the Chinese proposal- •than farttih
armies should- ovacuaite the country
simultaneously; by demanding that
both armies should occupy Corea in
common and exercise a sort of condo
minium for tho management of tho
Corean financier and bhe introduction
of necessary reforms.
China and Japan have often quarreled
’he verge of war and been recon
ciled, hut they have never been In bo
critical a situation of inevitable conflict
as at present. Their respective strength
according to their own official statistics,
Is Impressive In numbers.
The Chinese army is composed of the
"eight banners,” Including Manchus,
Mongols and descendants of tho Chinese
who Joined the Invaders under the Em
peror Shunchin in A. D. 1611—323,800
men, of whom 100,000 are said to lie re
viewed by the emperor at Pekin once
a year. There is also the ”Ylng Ping,”
or national army, composed of 6,459 of
ficers and 650,000 privates.
Information about tho validity of
these armies is not accessible, tout all
accounts concur In praise of the im
provements made in arms and ammuni
tion and in the management of the ar-
sencls of the country.
Oapt Norman, in his work on “Ton-
quin,” divides tho active army into the
Army of Manchuria, the Army of the
Centre, and the Army of Turkestan, lie
gives consideration also n> a Territorial
arm. The Manchuria army has 70,000
inen, divided into two army corps, with
headquarters at TsltsJhar and «*t Mouk-
den. arraej with the Mauser rifle and
Krupp eight-centimetre field cannon.
The Centre army, with headquarters at
K&lgun, has CO.OOO men In timo of peace.
In, timo of war the number may be
doubled. The men are ot a htrdy race
and armed with Romington rifles. The
Turkestan army Is employed In keeping
order in the western territories, and
could not, in all probability, be moved
eastward In the event of war with a
European foe. The Territorial army, or

without coirt-defense vessels. It con
sists of 5 ships, which may be classed
as armfored cruisers, one of these being
a wooden vessel, 9 second class crui
sers, between 2,000 and C.OOO tons, and
22 vessels which may be ranked as
third class cruisers. Of these 15 had
the speed of 15 knots or more. The
torpedo flotilla include a one first class
bc/dit, about 125 feet in length, and 40
feet of the second class, between 100
and 125 feet.
There are.twb naval districts, at the
head of each of which 4s a vice minister,
subject to the naval minister at Toklo.
There is an important admiralty de
partment at Yokohoma, the principal
dockyard is at Yokosuka, and the nayal
school Is at Tokio.
The Corean armv consists of about
5,000 men, stationed in Seoul. They are
drilled by two American inetructors and
native officers. Two regiments are
equipped with Remington rifles. There
is also a battery Of Gatling and one of
Krupp guns. A force cf 500 cavalry has
beep organized, armed with carbines
and swords. In theory, about 1,200,000
men were fit for military duty, but not
one-hundredth of th$ men were ever
tyOailnble. The Corean navy is n'on-ex-
latent. There aro three merchant ves
sel which carry tribute and rice to
Chemulpo from tho non-treaty ports.
Nothing survives In Corea of the cun
ning craft in pottery and metal work
which the Japanese assimilated, but re
ports from Chemulpo say that the hills
contain gold, silver and copper, and
that even now, with primitive methods
of mining, gold is taken out of the coun
try to the value tof 33,000,000 annually.
The American firm which placed the
electric light In the king’s palace re
ceived payment for Its work in gold
dust and 4n nu/weta which showed so
little sign of attrition as to make* It ev
ident that the place of the discovery
could nbt have been far from the mat
rix. The sublects of Japan iu Corel
outnumber those of China by nearly
ten to one. and since the British re
tired from a brief experiment of steam
ship communication between Cbrea and
Shanghai, the Corean shipping has been
mainly. Japanese. 1 ‘

TO A JESSAMINE.
It is only a delicate flower,
Dewy and sweet and white,
But it has the wondrous power
To bring back lust sunlight,
And a dream of far blue hills
Asleep In the fight of even’,
A wild bird's song of passionate thrills
In the depths of heaven!
A merry voice calling
In the starlit southern gloom,
I hear the accents falling:
"The Jessamine's in bloom r
A white band breaks a flower.
Under the gtoaanlng skies,
I feel again the old, sweet power.
Of brown, bewitching eye«!
Only a delicate flower, • v
With its petals sweet and white
But It has the magic power
To bring back lost delight.*
A dream of purple. Mils
In the golden light or even',
And the echo tof n voice that irtlir
Like a song from heaven!
