Here he osid a compliment to 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- stus," said he with a malicious tone end look. “I have already referred .to," (Loud laughter.) "Torn there was Cas es—envious Csssa—(meaning Vest) who struck the first blow.

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 rifle now uxed tn the army is the Mu rata rifle, Which was invented In Japan a few years ago. The Japanese fleet is a purely defen sive force of the '‘mobile” character, 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 the public. I am a Democratic candidate for cor. oner, subject to nomination on August j.
