treaty has been negotiated between
Corea and Japan, which authoritatively
defines the relations of the two countries
toward each other and towards China.
The object of the treaty is stated in the
preamble to be the usual desire on the
part of the Emporor of Japan .and the
King of Corea to definitely fix and de
termine the attitude of each country
toward the other, with a view of clearly
elucidating the existing relations between
Japan and China, which haye been

no adequate idea of 'the reciprocal feel
ing manifested by the thunderous cheers
and hearty hand-grasps with which the
ex-Confederate general was received.
It was the regular meeting night of the
Union Veteran lesdon, and the hall was
thronged. Gen. Gordon was the first
member of the Confederate army.to ever
enter the hall. The great crowd gave
three very hearty cheers.
Gen. A. L. Pearson, in happy remarks,
introduced the "rebel general," whom
many present had met at the surrender
at Appomattox.
Gen. Gordon said: "1, and all right-
thinking men of any section would al
ways admire men who fought.
Turning to the Union flags, which pro
fusely covered the speaker's stand, he
delivered a very eloquent apostrophe,
pledging hisdeotion and that of the
ex-Confederates 01 the South to that ban
ner and all that it symbolized. He ad
dressed the soldiers as "comrades and
countrymen. and every time he, m
his calm, deliberate tone?, used these
endtanng terms, the audience was visi
bly affected;
At the end of the eloquent address
three tremendous cheers were given.
Corp. Tanner responded in an address
of no less eloquence, pledging the respect
view. In the party will be several officials
m the Departments.
Chief Kobinson, of the Agricultural
Department, is in receipt of sundry tele
grams asking for explanation of addi
tional hgures to the crop report of Mon
day. Mr. Robinson declares that he
does not feel at liberty to furnish addi
t'onil figures or explanations to indi
vidual inquirers. If needed at all to
supplement and make clear the reports
given to the public by the press associa
tions, such explanations should be made
through the same far reaching agencies
for the benefit of all persons interested.
For this reason no answers are sent to
individuals and the statistician regrets
the appearance of discourtesy. The
only inquiry to which any reply seems
desirable refers to the second para
graph of the corn report in which
reference is made to an aggregate
of over 15.000,000 acres in eight States,
which are stated to have been cut up or
abandoned. The inquiry was as to
whether the condition ot corn given in
the first paragraph was estimated on the
entire acreage planted, including the
acreage so cut up or abandoned, or ex
clusive of the latter. The statistician
states that a careful re-reading of the re
port shows the meanmg quite clearly,
but to enlighten those who think other
wise, he will state that the estimate of
condition is upon the acreage standing,
not including that cut up or abandoned.

Applegate in the course of further
testimony said that Capt. Price was
also paid money for protection by the
greengoods men.
Several other witnesses were exam
ined before the committee adjourned,
but little of a sensational character was
" developed. One witness, Alexander
Howell, caused something of a stir by
mentioning the name of Capt. William 1
as a recipient of bribes, but he imme
diately declared he wa3 not telling the

Skeletons Found In a Cave.
Richmond, Ya., Sept. 11. A Bristol
Tenn., special to the DLyxitch sayr,
Charles Rector and a boy named Morris
in exploring a cave near Seven-Mile-Ford,
Va.. thirty miles east of this place, yes
terday, discovered two skeleton forty
feet below the surface. The cave had
long been known, but no one had ever j
1- r!
venturea 10 explore ir. oecause 01 lis
depth. The Morris boy was let down by
a rope. WThen the find was reported a
party of Citizens went to the cave to in
vestigate further. In all, ten skeletons
were taken out, and were adjudged to be
the bones of men, women and children.
One skeleton was found in a sitting
posture, with the skull reclining on the
arms, which were folded across the
knees. .
Thus far there is but one way of ac
counting for the charnel house. Old
citizens say that many years ago there
was an inn kept nar this cave by a man
named Allen, and that occasionally peo
ple who stoped there had mysteriously
disappeared and were never again heard
of. The supposition is that they were
killed in this inn, robbed of their valu
ables and then consigned to the cave.
Some of the skeletons discovered were
partially buried under stones and many
of the "bones were broken. Whether
these stones were scales which fell from
overhead or were placed there by foul
hand could not be positively determined.
Chicago, Sept. 1 1. Wheat occupied
the undignified position of tailer to corn
to-day from start to finish. The market
for the greater part of the session was
dull and uninteresting, the fluctuations
after the opening being within a moder
ate range. The Government report had
been practically discounted, and orders
from outside points were conspicuous by
their absence. Fluctuations were largely
a reflection of the changes in the coarser
grain. The news Was encouraging;
cables were generally quoted lower: re
ceipts in the Northwest were fairly lib
eral and export clearances were small.
The market started rather firm in an
ticipation of a strong opening in corn,
but immediately reacted when that
cereal weakened. Subsequently, it re
covered when corn advanced, remaining
dull and fairly steady. After a season of
dullness the market rallied on good buy
ing by commission houses and covering
by shorts ion the strength in corn and
closed firm. Brad&trect s rf port of the
visible supply of wheat from both coasts
shows an increase of 3,000,000 bushels;
in elevator and afloat for Europe, a de
crease of ,000 bushels. December
wheat opened at57 to'57fc, sold between
57 to 5Gc, closing to f c higher than
yesterday. Cash wheat wa steady.
Prices were unchanged. V
Corn was an exceedingly nervous mar
ket after the opening to day, it'requiring
but very little buying or selling to ad
vance or depress prices. The market
opened firm on the bullish Government
crcp report. This brought large offer
ing to the front, and, ;with an insufli
cient demand to absorb them, there being
Eractically no outside orders, the market
roke sharply, declining lc from the
opening. It subsequenly rallied on buy
ing by shorts, and partly on confirma
tion from Washingtoi that the p r
centage of condition of corals given in
the Government report, . was ba?ed or.
the present reduced acreage, rathehthan
on the original acreage planted. These
final figures were so near the expected
figure chat j the market was lft in rather
a dull state. Towards the close, on light
offerinirs and free local buying, the mar
ket vi-iblyl strengthened. May opened
1 v
tan
vesterday. Cash corn was in good de
mand with a moderate quantity for sale.
The fading was easier and prices wtre
about jc lower.
Trading in oats w as of an uninu ret
ing character, the market acting in Sym
pathy with corn and responding to the
changes in that market. May closed fc
higher than yesterday. Cash oats were
in god demand with light offerings.
Prices were steady and unchanged.
Provisions opened strtng, in sympathy
v, ith corn and high receipts of hogs, but
almost immediately weakened on heavy
selling by the Anglo-American Provision
company, who have been the leiding
longs for some time. The decline
brought out a few stop order?, and this
feature added to the general weakness.
Toward the close, in sympathy with the
strength in the grain markets, the feeling
was firmer and prices rallied again, and
the close j was rather firm. January
pork closed 5c higher than yesterday,
January lard 2fc lower and January
ribs -c higher. The domestic markets
were easy, with prices fayoring buying.
