One would not expect to goto Korea for the most advanced methods in political economy. And yet the reply of ?he Korean Government to a German Request for railway concessions is up <o the very highest notch of modern theory. The Government tells the German Consul at Seoul that it proV poses to have its own railway bureau and construct and own its railways, and that no concessions will therefore fee granted. If China could only take tne same attitude sue woum escape the most dangerous complications. Attention is drawn to the much larger proportion of officers killed in our war than in that in the Soudan. This is evidence of the professional; accuracy and scientific skill with "which the latter wa3 conducted. When carefully planned military operations are executed without interruption or interference, lives of officers are not exposed. It is when results have to be accomplished by sheer strength and daring, instead of military science, that officeis expose their lives with calculated recklessness, and sacrifice them with cool courage to trie exactions ot a situation for -which they are not responsible. Is trades-unionism decaying in Great Britain? The end of the Welsh coal miners' strike seems to point to an affirmative answer, observes the New York Commercial Advertiser. It is almost as great a blow to the unions as was the result of the engineers' strike. These two notable strikes seem to have developed a new plan of operations by organized capital. The employers combine and agree upon terms which are conditional upon the state of the market. A sliding scale of wages is determined, and, if the workmen do not agree to it, endur. - ance is put to the test until the weaker side gives in. Here the employers have a great advantage. They have practically unlimited reserves to draw upon, while the workmen are limited by the union funds. The method of the employers in the Welsh miners' strike was similar to that of the engineers. If the result is typ ical, the trade^puuions will have to be reorganized on a different basis or be largely eliminated from the forces of industrial war. The Berlin (Germany) Post is publishing a series of letters from Teheran which represent the condition of Persia as absolutely hopeless. The writer declares that the country is moribund, and quite incapable of offering any resistance to external attack. He says that the internal decomposition is spreading more and more rapidly. All idea of patriotism has ceased to exist, and the great traditions of the country are forgotten. There is nothing left that the Persians, and especially the people of Teheran, would not sell for a piece of silver. Gold is no lonsrer to be seen. The higher classes and the officials are corrupt, and the lower orders are Bhamelessly plundered, and thrown into a dangerous state of religions excitement by fanatical Mollahs, who teach them that all other nations are infidels and unclean, and who fan their contempt for Europeans by all imaginaDie means, mis is oniy wnen Europeans are not present. When they are, the Mollahs treat them with mean servility. No Persian, he says, high or low, thinks lying, perjury or fraud disgraceful. On the contrary, they are regarded as marks of wisdom > 4 i \ V \ ' THE NEWS EPITOMIZED. Wasliineton Item*.

All Differences Kejjardiuc Cuba, Porio uml r.iium A rrnn rrA?1 n i S Finally Convinced That the Terms of the United Slates Musi lie AcceptedFate of the Philippines to lie Settled. Paris, France (By Cable). The Spanish Government, through the Pence Commissioners of Spain, has accepted the negative view of the United States Peace Commissioners toward the proposed assumption by the United States of the Cuban debt. The American Commissioners have firmly but courteously declined to assume for the United States the entire or joint responsibility for the Spanish financial conditions. Senor Rios, the President of the Spanish Commission, and his colleagues, with faithful insistence, sought another result, but they have failed to obtain it. and have linally abandoned the effort and agreed that the Cuban article of the protocol shall, without conditions, have a place in the ultimate treaty of peace. Though, through several sessions, the Spanish Commissioners had before them the irrevocable presentation of their American colleagues, it was not until Monday that tho Spaniards became absolutely .-onvinced that the Americans had. from the outset of their refusal to accept the Cuban debt. meant exactly what they said. In spite of the fact that the Spanish Commissioners nad doubts of succeeding, their hcpo was bo keen and their contention so vigorously firosecuted that the llnal conviction of their nability to win their point brought to the Spaniards such a shock of depression that there were grave doubts as to the continuance of the negotiations. Senor Montero Rios, after Monday's session. would have resigned the Presidency of the Spanish Peace Commission had he not believed that his so doing might greatly weaken, and possibly unseat, Senor Sagasta's Government. For this reason Senor Montero Rios retained his position, and at Wednesday's session, acting under the conviction arrived at on Monday, the Spaniards announced that they would forego further argument on the Cuban debt, and agreed that, practically in the terms and absolutely in the spirit "of the protocol, the articio concerning Cuba should go forward into the final treaty. Thus Spain agrees to relinquish sovereignty over and claim to Cuba without other terms or conditions. The meeting, though short, was long enough to yield this conclusion. All differences, if any existed, regarding Porto Rico and the cession of the Island of Guam to the United States, were also arranged, and the Commissioners found themselves practically ready to begin the consideration of the Philippines question, which will bo the next problem to be taken up. The Spaniards have learned that the Americans purpose to perfect a peace treaty if direct methods, patient effort and painstaking consideration on their part - an secure that restilt. The adjustments already accomplished wi.i stand in tho final treaty unless opposing views and positions on the Philippines question develop hereafter and briug to naught the efforts of the Commissioners. 9ULLMAN CO. VIOLATES CHARTER. Illinois Supreme Court Says It Holds Property Illegally. CnicAc.o, 111. (Special). The State Supreme Court has decided that the Pullman Car Company was holding ?10,00D,000 worth of lands nnd improvements in sev?ral cities illegally and in violation of its tharter. The suit was begun three years ago bv kttorney-Gsaeral Moloney, who charged that the company was dealing in real ?state, loaning money and conducting municipal enterprises in violation of its :barter. Tho charter gave tho company the right only to manufacture cars. The company entered a demurrer to this, and tho Circuit Court upheld the rompany. The case was appealed to tho Supreme Court, and tho above decision was the result. It is probable that the town of Pullman may bo sold soon as a result of the ruling if the Stinr:>mn Court Fr.nfc O. Lowden. son-in-law of tho late palace car magnate, says that the property can be transferred :o private individuals who will continue to maintain the system.
