PRosTRATE BEFORE a KING.
Two Americans Fay Their Respects to the
Ruler of Korea
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspcndence.l
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 27.-Last December
two Milwaukecans paid n visit to Korea
and had the somewhat unusual experience
Of being presented at the court in that far
away kingdom over which China and ia
pan are now at war.
Professor A. b. dc Gucrville, then
resident of this city, was sent to Korea
on q diplomatic mission. Ho was accom-
panied by Walter c. Chandler, n wealthy
young Milwaukeean who was on n tour
around the world. De Guerville had duly
accredited government papers and asked
for an audience with the almost inaccess-
ible ruler, and it was Chambers good
fortune to visit tho royal residence with
him. Their mission was partly interpre-
ted and stated by q series of stereoptican
views, and the two gentlemen gave his
Korean majesty a private exhibition in
his own apartments.
1t was on n cold afternoon in December
that we received the command of his maj
esty Ii Hsi, king of Korea, to appear be-
fore him and deliver an illustrated lee
ture. After having hastily donned even
ing dress we found to our dismay that but
two sedan chairs could be obtained upon
such short notice for three of us. Here
was n prcdicament. Walking is, for n Eu-
ropean, at any time disagrccable in Seoul,
pardonable breach of etiquette Luckily
at that moment I espied a native of my
acquaintance leading n rheumatic pony,
and by means of threats and brides ulti-
mateIy succeeded in obtaining possession
of the sorry stccd, and attired as was in
evening dress mounted and led the way, fol-
lowed by the chairs containing DIR. Allen,
then secretary of the American legation,
and Professor de Guervillc. The distance
from the mansion which we occupied
(Seoul is innocent of anything analogous
to a hoteD to the palace gates was about
half n mile, and we picked our way
through the narrow and exceedingly dirty
streets, followed by n crowd of curious ma
tives. Upon our arrival we were met by
court official representing the king, n
host of eunuchs and n number of outland-
ishly and shabbily Uniformed soldiers, who
conducted us through innumerable court

Tho Korean architecture resembles that
Of the Japanese inasmuch rs the walls of

A FRENCH doctor has just discovered
why some fishermen catch cod and others
do not. He found that on the northeriy
side of high submarine peaks the COD
would not bite, while on the southerly
side they did. By attaching thermome-
tiers to fishing lines he further found that
most fish were taken at a temperature be-
tween 45 and so degrees. and that at As
degrees with depth of about fourteen
fathoms. the catch was best. So you want
to take your thermometer along with you
next time you go fishing.

WHICH SIDE rs TRUE
STORY OF KATE mARsoEN's WORK
AMONG SIBERIAN LEPERs.

She Has Been Spoken of rs q Second Flor
ence Nightingale Because of Her Work,
but Now Grave Charges Are Made
Against Her.
There are two sides to the story of
Miss Kate Marsden, the personable Eng
lish woman, no longer young, but not
yet old, upon whom the mantle OF Flor
ence Nightingale has been declared to
have fallen. Miss Marsden became IA
nous because of her investigations Of
leprosy as it exists in Siberia The story
of those Investigations, as told by her
self, makes her out to be brave, self sac
rificing, with plenty of nerve and of ex-
traordinary endurance. 1t was in 1889
that she came to the front She was then
in Berlin, and she was out of money.
She had heard of a wonderful plant
that grew in Siberia, which was spe-
cific for leprosy and with which some
Siberian lepers were curing themselves
She Ionged to 60 to Siberia and find this
plant At the same time she proposed
to look into the state of the lepers them
selves. She had heard that because OF
their poverty and ignorance but few
were able to avail themselves of its po-
tency, and that most of them suffered
the fortunes of slow starvation by reason
of the isolation insisted upon by the
communities in which they lived. She
had a notion that it would be we'll to

WHAT WILL THEY DO?

1t remains to be seen whether the re-
publican leaders of Waterbury, the men
who have always been foremost in the
the interests of the party, will allow them
selves to be relegated to a seat in the
amen corner by the A. P. A. We hardly
think they will. Such men as Charles E.
Turner and L. 1. Munson will surely not
tolerate the interference of the thin
skinned fanatics who are spreading the seeds
of rancor and bitterness in Waterbury.
That the republican caucus of
Thursday night was packed by the A. P.
4 there is not a shadow of doubt. Our
authority for making this statement is a
man high up in the councils of the repub-
Iitaa party. And, indeed. look into the
hall on that evening would be enough to
convince one of the character of the meet
ing Most of those present were
strsngers-men who have lived in Water
buy long enough to he entitled to a vote.
but who have never been identified With
the progress of the city. They were there
as an organized body and booted down
men whose republicanism had been rited
and found true blue.
What are the republican leaders going
to do about it? What does our esteemed
contemporary. the Republican. think of
the A. P. A? Surely Brother Wells will
not take his politics half baked.
There is another side to this question.
Many Catholics of Waterbury have long
been identified with the republican party.
What will they do now that the A. p A.
octopus has grasped the party in its Shiny
tentacles? The chief object of the order is
to deprive Catholics of their common
rights, and no Catholic can consistently
train with the republican party on lines
laid down by such an organization. That
is the reason why democrats can afford to
look on at the present time without mis-
givings Waterbury. the A. p. A. will
find, Is the poorest field in Connecticut
for the work.
Again We ask the Republican to express
AN opinion on the situation.

The act Of 1889, providing for the
Incorporation aud government OF cities
of the third class, was the outcome OF
efforts to reduce prior Legislation, both
general and local, to uniform and
comprehensive code adapted to the
governmental requirements Of the
several municipalities to which 1t was
intended to apply, 1t was drafted by
committee Of what was known as the
intsrmuuicipal convention, composed
of representatives Of all tue cities OF
the state except Philadelphia and
Pittsburg and was intended to take the
place of the act of 1887 which had been
declared invalid anu thereby caused
many unpleasant complications.
The basis Of the act Of 1889 is the act
OF May 23 1874. After the act OF 1889
had been drafted it was examined and
discussed in all the cities that it Rf-
fected.
In the house and senate many amend.
ments were made to the bill, among
them being the section above quoted,
which limited the application Of the
act 10 cities incorporated under the act
Of 1874, or that Of 1899, and those which
had heretofore. or should thereafter &C
cCpt the provisions of the act OF 1874
II was confidently believed that this
amendment was in harmony with de-
cisions Of the supreme court.
The amendment WAS proposed to sat
isfy Wilkes Barre and other cities oper.
nting under special charters granted by
the legislature before the adoption of
the new constitution.
