Danger of an Uprising Against Chris
tiane Is Passed.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The danger of
an uprising in Corea against the Chris
tian missionaries in that country is
passed. News that mobs of natives in
Seoul threatened to exterminate the
whites, was received by the state de-
partment some weeks ago by cable.
Protection from the United States
government was requested, and ac-
cordingly the navy department sent
the United States steamer Alert from
Shanghai to Corea with orders to re-
main until affairs assumed a peaceful
aspect. Admiral Harmony cabled the
department that he arrived at his desti-
nation April Oath. Today another dis
patch was received from him stating the
Alert has returned to Shanghai. While
nothing concerning the condition of
affairs is contained in tie dispatch, it is
certain the Alert would not have left
Corea if any serious trouble existed.

ing to q legal separation. It further
provides that he will contribute $40 per

A RusE THAT FAILED.

"At the legislature OF two years age

"The governors ball filed the thoughts

JUDGE Ross refused yesterday to grant
an injunction to restrain parties from
cutting timber on lands which were
claimed by the eSouthern Pacific to come
under their grant, and which it was un-
derstood late decision OF the supreme
court of the United States restored to
the public domain. These lands, 1t
seems, were originally Withdrawn from
presumption or sale for the benefit OF
the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad COM
pany, but as that corporation never
complied with the conditions OF the
grant by building their railway, the
Southern Pacific company, which did
build their road, treated them as public
lands to which they were entitled under
their grant. The supreme court held
that there lands could not be taken by
another railway corporation whilst they
were reserved for the benefit Of the At
lantic and Pacific company, whose right
to them must be duly declared forfeited
by the granting power before they
could be restored to the pub
lie domain. Judge Ross evidently
has his doubts as to whether the
scope Of the supreme court decision is
sufficiently broad and sweeping to defeat
the claim Of the Southern Pacific COM
pany. AT least Judge Ross's decision
would imply that certain points which
against the construction that,
under the supreme courts decision, the
lands in question are now public lands,
must be made more clear. The infer
once from the attitude taken by Judge
Ross is that the right of the Southern
Pacific to the lands listed for the Allan.

Rcd Hair and Freokles.

Science explains the phenomenon OF
red hair thus: sit is caused by super
abundance of iron in the blood. This it
is that imparts the vigor, the elasticity,
the great vitality, the overHowing,
thoroughly healthy animal life which
runs riot through the veins OF the ruddy
haired, and this strong, sentient an
imal life is what renders them
more intense in all their emo
tions than their more fanguid fellow
creatures. The excess of iron is also
the cause of freckles On the peculiarly
clear, white skin which always accom-
panies red hair. This skin is abnor-
