WASHINGTON, July "a Another peculiar
question connected with the Chinese exelu-
sion law has been presented to the secretary
Of the treasury for settlement A number Of
the officers on board the United States ves-
sells wrecked at Samoa had Chinese servants
who were regularly enlisted abroad and re-
ceiyed pay from the government These
servants, with most of the officers and men
Of the wrecked vessels, are now al Snn Fran
cisco, and as there is no further use FOR them
the navy department wishes to discharge
them, but finds itself confronted by the Chr
nese exclusion act Whether the Chinese, as
enlisted men Of the United States navy, will
be allowed to 60 free in this country, is the
question that the acting secretary Of the navy

Pennsylvania, to pension for fracture Of the

his injury from one Of them. The secretary

judges as TO whether the occasion required
the intervention Of any one in the interest Of

WAanNoroN. July - The report which
comes from Nashville that Mrs Hattie Glib
son Heron, Of Tennessee, has been sentenced
to death in Corea for preaching Christianity
Is not confirmed at the state department ana
is totally discredited at the Corean legation
The only information that the state depart
ment has about the matter is a telegram
from Representative Taylor, Of Tennessee
But seeing that the case is serious, II tha
report be true, Acting Secretary Of Stats
Wharton cabled to Mr.. Dinsmore, our minis
ter at Seoul, to interpose in the lady's behalf
and have her liberated il possible DR.. Allens
the American secretary Of the Copean lega-
ton here, who knows Corea well and this
manner Of treating missionaries there, has no
hesitation in saying that the thing is utterly
impossible.
In the first place, he says, il the report
were true the state department would most
certainly have heard from our minister on
the subject. A cablegram can come from
Corea 70 Washington in a single day In
the second place, an American lady would
not be arrested by Corean officials and tried
by Corenn court, under the Corean laws
Under our treaty Of 1852 the American
minister has sole jurisdiction over the mis-
demeanors that Americans may commit in
AOltd. IN iHt lNllu Hih't MIS- AAFAoils WnOlAH
DR.. Allen knows very well, IS not preacher,
and neither is her husband. He is simply q
practcing physician in Seoul, and the dis
patch which describes him as the Rev. David
Heron, Dr. Allen says, is mistake. DR..
and Mrs. Heron are out there under the
auspices Of the Presbyterian society, but
they do not preacn.
Teaching Christ Is Forbidden There.
ii must have been done quietly, IN a social
way, as mnch OF tn missionary work in
Corea is done. The teaching Of Christianity
in Corea is forbidden by the Corean laws.
and the Coreans have uniformly refused to
insert a religious freedom clause in the treat
les they have made with the United States
and other nations. But while the teaching
Of Cristianity is forbidden by law, the Corean
government connive at it when done within
certain bounds The Jesuit the Presbyte-
rian, the Methodist and all the other leading
/ Christian churches have missionaries in
/ Corea, and most Of them have organized
churches there, so lenient is the Corean gov
ernment in the execution Of the laws.
corea Is Very Friendly.
There never has been an execution Of for
eign missionary by the Corean government
for the preaching of Christianity Some
times the government finds it advisable to is
sue a special caution, and last summer two
American missionaries who penetrated into
the interior Of the country against the pro-
tests of the government and Of the American
minister, were followed and brought back to
the capital by q company OF soldiers But
they were not punished. Dr. Allen is cer-
tain that the report which says Mrs. Heron
has been condemned to death is without foun-
dation. The Coreans are more friendly to
Americans than TO any other strangers

capital city Of far away Corea, charged with
teaching the doctrine of Christianity. Shs
h Mrs Hattie Gibson Heron, wife Of the
Rev. David Heron, recently Of Jonesboro.
DR.. Heron is a northern Presbyterian mis
sionary and is well known in Knoxville He
is an Englishman by birth, and about three
years ago he married Miss Hattie Gibson,
daughter Of DIR. N. J. Gibson, Of Jonesboro.
He had jnst been ordered to Corea, and his
young wife, herself great friend Of the ms
sion cause, joined him, and the two sailed
from San Francisco only few weeks after
their marriage
She Dispieased Corea's King.
Information has just been received here Of
the sentence imposed upon Mrs. Heron She
preached the gospel as well as her husband
and was recently the means of converting a
nobleman who is close to the throne of Corea-
that he himself went to preaching Christian
ity. The king was greatly dipleased; but
instead Of chopping of the head OF the CON
verted nohleman he had Mrs Heron arrested
and thrown into prison.
The Report Doubted.
Mrs. Heron was known as the most beau
tiful young woman in Upper East Tennessee,
and she was as bright and intelligent as she
was beautiful. Her father died about year
ago He was one Of the best known citizens
OF Washington county. DR.. Houston, mis-
sionary secretary Of the Southern Presby

took the boy 10 one of the stores in Mon
terey and gave him $50 worth OF pro-
visions. He appeared to be delighted with
the gift and promised TO accompany RICO
to the mountains. Mr.. Rico made
the necessary preparations, and IN
company with several citizens and
the Indian boy started for the mine. A
few miles from the mission the Indian be-
gan 10 act in a queer manner and complain
ed of being sick. Camp was pitched and
new start to the mine was TO be made next
morning. All hands retired early, and IN
the morning, to the great surprise OF all,
the Indian WAS missing. and the search had
to be abandoned. The Indian was seen
sfterward, and it was the same excuse:
that he was afraid TO tell ON account OF
what the padres told him.
That the mino exists there Is no doubt,
but is is safe 10 state that old Maria Ro-
man will take the secret to her grave. This
agitation will put new life in the matter.
and no doubt strong efforts will be made
TO get old Aunt Maria to dIyulge the secret.
