JAPAN'S CLAIMS IN COREA.
Foreign Representatives Want Her
to Modify Her Demands.
(By Associated Press. !

LONDON. July ia despatch to The
Times to-day from Seoul, the capital
Of Cores, says that conference OF
foreign representatives was held to-day
and the naturalization Of Corean treaty
ports was imposed. The Japanese Min
lister accepted the principle Of the prop
osition so far as Chemulpo was con-
cerned; but reserved his answer of this
question In regard to the other ports,
pending instructions from his govern
ment at Toxic.
Later. the King yielding. the Japanese
Government appointed three Commits
sioners to discuss the internal admins
tration Of the country. The conditions
imposed by the Japanese Government in
regard to the naturalization of the port
OF Chemulpo, virtually nullify the con :
cession. as Japan still insists upon re-
tanning troops within the settlement.
The foreign representatives have re-
minded the japanese Government that
their Joint note, recently sent to Japan
requesting the withdrawal OF troops,
still remains unanswered.

CONSTANTINOPLE. July ip.-S,,sht
earthquakes continued from time to
time throughout the night. but this
morning the city Is resumlns its normal
appearance, the shops are being reopen
ed and the inhabitants are returning to
their houses.
Detailed Investigations show that the
seismic disturbances extended through
out wide area and also largely in
creased the death roll.
A shock was felt throughout the PENN
sula OF Anatol.a, two hundred and thirty
six miles from here.
Many railway stations have been da m
aged. and the town OF Jalova. on the
Gulf Of Ismidt. is almost totally de.
stroyed.
At STEAMBOAT the principal undula tion
appears to have followed a straight line
from the Mosque of Sultan Ahmed tc
Edirne kapon, a distance OF two miles.
Great damage was done all along the
line, and many lives were lost.
At the village of San stephano the sea
suddenly receded for a distance OF two
hundred yards, then returned as sud
denly, hurting the boats violently over
the quays. creating a scene of wild
confusion and doing much damage.
The number o Victims of the earth
auakes, UP to last evening. lie officially
stated to be 100. but the real number lie
believed to be far larger.
The centre OF the disturbance seems to
have ben the town Of Brusa, at the north
foot OF Mount Olympus. flfty-seven miles
southeast of Constantinople, and one OF
the oldest and most important CONNER
cial cities Of Turkey.

CHICAGO KEEPS CITY HALL.
'pOok County Loses q Salt Growins
Out of n Land Grant.

by Associated PressD
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE fight between
I COOK County and the city OF Chicago
Tor Possession Of the City Hall has been
dc cided adversely to the county by Judge
Tuley. The Court overruled the demurrer
OF the county to the bill for Injunction
hled by the city to restrain the county
from proceeding with Its ejectment suit
ana directed that a decree of Injunction
be prepared and presented on Friday.
County Attorney Judd contended that
the action of the county in granting to
ultra wires. or beyond its powers, and
that the grant was therefore void As
sistant Corporation Counsel 2eisler took
the opposite ground, and further argued
that the continued violation of the act
of the Legislature would act as an estop-
pei against action by the county in the
