NEW YORK. Dec 2.-The Earl of Aber-

the principal guest at the banquet last

the Earl said: Il know that it may be, and

that harmonious cooperation which is so
much desired in every community, but l

Rather should the celebration of our love

TO KILL A KING.
A COrean GunpoWder Plot
Discovered.
An Attempt Made to Overthrow the
Oriental Government and Start
a Revolution.

All Japan and Corea is excited over a
dastardly attempt to assassiuate the King
Of the latter country and ell of his Minis
ters of state.
A native of Kokai, who is alleged to be
the arch-cOns spirator of a secret society,
had prepared, through the announcement
OF tellow-conspirators, to blow I'D the
central Government Office on the Corean
new year. the 9th of February.
Before kOkai could carry out his design
he was betrayed by one of his confed-
crates.
According to the japanese Gazette the
story is told as follows:
The Government was secretly informed OF
the plot by Ryu-To- Kon, and when the Office
was examined over 1000 pounds OF gunpowder
was found under the floor. This powder was
no other than that which was missing from the
magazines at JilseE. Nanyo ana other forts,
10 which we referred some time ago.
Amazed al the narrow escape * had had the
Government succeeded in arrestIng Ri.Chn-
AWaku aud lwenty-six others. This Ryu-To-
kon, who betrayed bis companions. was for
merly an official of Eiheifu and afterward
served at foi eigD legation. The conspirators
thought that by d. awing him into their league
they would be able 10 obtain tile assistance of
the legation where be served.
AS the conspiracy was too bold TO have been
the sole Work OF COreaus, il is believed that
there was some one behind The conspiratOrs
1t Is even rumored that Prince Tai. In-Kun was
connected with them. According 10 the con.
SpiratOrS' confession. as soon as they set 10
work. over 1000 others were to have risen on
all sides and assisted them in Overturning the
Government.
AS their confession may implicate high per.
sonages, 1t has been proposed TO put the twenty
seven men 10 death AT once and expose their
heads TO public view. The Government is al
present making inquiries for those concerned
in The conspiracy. AS it feared TO excite public
disturbances ii mad kept the matter a pro-
found secret, while the imperial palace and
other public buildings were strictly watched.
The secret has, however, somehow leaked out,
and is now publicly known.
All sorts OF wild rumOrs are afiOat among
others that The japanese are al the bottom OF
the conspiracy and that the Japanese Govern
rnent bad promised 70 lend two ironcIads 10 the
conspiIators.

WHAT WILL 1T COST &?
The Government Considering the
Deportation of Chinese.

DSpOEtdtiOn OF chinese.
The Chinese felons, An Wow, Wo
Quong and Mock Ng Goey, were sent
home to China on the Gaelic yesterday,
making over a score of felons deported
from this city since the McCreary act
went into active force.
Collector WelburD has gone to Los Ar
geles 20 look over his district, but 10 ore
particularly to look into the Chinese busi-
ness. Within the past month the Col
lpctor has been asked by the Washington
officials about how many Chinese would
be reported by him from bis district for
deportation. There are two causes for the
deportation of Chinese labOrers which.
under the McCreary law, need only 10 be
proven Drima facie and do not cost the
Government trial of the subject ar
rested. The first cause is that the Chinese
arrested is a felOn. and all that is needed
Is 10 prove that the man has once been
convicted of felony and he must go
home. The second is failure to comply
with the registration clause of the Nc
Creary act, and unless man so arrested
after May next can produce p certificate
he must go home.
The rush of Chinese to register just now
is not bothering Collector Welburn or the
Government, for ample funds have been
provided for the registering of all who
want to comply with the law, but the ques-
ton of depOrting The felons and those who
do not register is beginning to worry them.
The Six Companies are aiding daily in in
forming the officers as 10 all the felons in
this and other cities. but while active in
that work they are reserviug the Chinese
VINO are not feons, but who do not want
TO register but want to go home. until the
time comes to turn them over 10 the Gov
ernment for deportation.
Collector Welburn will return to The city
in about week or ten days. and during
his trip will make a thorough canvass of
his district. Upon his return he is ex-
pected TO furnish at least approximate
figures as 10 the number to be deported,
and will then. in all probability. begin
