The Foundation of That Gorean Mission
AIRY Story.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 25. The report
from Washington that Mrs. II. G. Heron,
an American missionary in Corea, had been
condemned TO death at Seoul is believed 70
have originated in a circumstance which re-
Gently befell Rev. H. G. Underwood an
American missionary, and his wife in Corea.
Mr. Underwood was recently married at
Seoul TO an American lady named Horton.
They went into the interior on their bridal
trip and were mobbed in several places on
account OF their religious belief, but finally
returned TO Seoul in safety.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Dr. Allen, the
secretary of the Corean embassy, called
at the state department and talked
with Acting Secretary Wharton about the
case Of Mrs Hattie q. Heron, the missionary
reported to be under sentence OF death in
Corea for preaching Christianity. There
was no news that could be given him, as the
department has not yet heard from Minister
Dinsmors. A cablegram is expected, how
ever, at any moment DR. Allen stated &c
Mr. Wharton his entire disbelief in the truth
of the story. Even if the lady had been
charged with the offense named she would
be under the jurisdiction Of the consular
courts, and the emperor, except by the exer
else of an arbitrary power, could not have
ordered her execution.

The President Looking Into the Well
and La Abra Claims.

and La Abra Claims.
BALTIMORE, July 25.-The Suu's special
from Deer Park, Md, says; Among the
callers on President Harrison was John NJ
Hurley, OF Indiana, who has just been ap-
pointed third auditor of the treasury. Mr..
Hurley took drive with the president in
the afternoon. President Harrison has be-
fore him the papers in the now famous We'll
and La Ahra claims against the Mexican
government The claims, which amount 70
hundreds Of thousands OF dollars, are mostly
held IN the east, but there are several heavy
holders in illinois and the southwest Both
sets Of claims we're adjudicatsd by a mixed
commission, and the umpire, Sir Edward
Thornton, found in favor Of the claimants
OnNis award large sum was paid into the
United States treasury by Mexico but after
one or two payments by the United st ties
government TO the claimants the Mexican
government made such strong representa-
tons that the claims were fraudulent that
further payment was stopped by the state
department. During President Arthur's
term fresh adjudication was made by
commission, but the treaty was rejected by
the senate. The case has hung fire until now
report has been made to the president. No
hint Of It's nature is given out, however, but
there seems TO be common agreement that
the United States has no right to the money,
which should be paid over TO the Well and
La Aura claimants or returned to Mexico.
