SAN F~RANcIsco, May 29.-The City
of New York brings the following news:
Yokohama was the scene of an extraor-
binary occurrence on the 9th of May. As
the British man-of-war, Agamemnon Saph-
ire Swift, steamed into the port the Russian
ship, Vladimir Monarch, commanded by
Admiral Crown, commander in chief of
the Russian. squadron in these seas, piped
to quarters, manned the guns and made
every preparation for immediate action.
1t is stated, that had so much as a rife
been fired from the Russian vessels, the
Agamemnon would have nmmed her. No
explanation of the affair was made by tho
Russian commander.
The Russians have bought up all the
coal in Yokohama, and are making active
inquiries for steamers for transport pur-
poses.
About 1000 people in Corea are said
to be prepared to rise against the govern
ment, overthrow it, and drive foreigners,
including the Japanese from Corea. A
notice has been posted in Centre Seoul,
warning the people to leave the capital
as a disturbance is expected to occur on
May 81, when the castle will be burnt
and its occupants killed.

A New Drive for Cattle.

DODGE CRY, May 29.-The executive
committee of the Western Kansas Cattle
Growers Association, practically controll-
ing the passage of the Southern Texas
cattle across hat part of the strip known
as mo Mans Land" have determined to
mark a boundary line and permit snch
cattle TO pass through into Colorado, the
objective point of the drovers. An agent
has been empowered to direct through
herds from a point in Texas on the old
Dodge trail, through and along the north
state line of Texas to the south line of
Colorado. Bridges will be built across the
trail for the passage of beef cattle. This
measure, if carried out, as seems almost
assured, will settle the pending difficulties
of the passage over the main portion of
the through trail

Attempt at Train Wrecking.

DENVER, May 29.-The Neies' Gunni-
son special says: This evening as the east
bound Denver K Rio Grande freight train
reached a point u few hundred yards from
the depot those in the vicinity saw a flash
and heard a loud report from the direc-
ton of the train. Upon examination it
was found that an explosive of some kind
had been placed under the track and had
knocked out a piece of rail several inches
long and shattered one drive wheel of the
locomotive. The torpedo was evidently
intended for the incoming passenger train
from Denver, which happened to be an
hour late. There is no clue to the perDe-
traitors.

ury.
WASHINGTON, Msy29.-lt is estimated

ant cashier, to be cashier; Edward r.
True, teller, to be assistant cashier, and
J. +. Milne, chief clerk, to be teller.

sites of the service do not require it.
This will result in an annual saving Of
abolt $66, OO0.

LONDON, May 29.-The Ne,cs announ-
ces this morning on the highest authority

lures of the work of delimitation have
