POLITICAL INTRIGUE

And Murder Which May Result In COM
piicatiuns between Corca and Japan.
VICTORIA, b. C., April ll.-A singular
story Of political intrigue and rovcugo
Ia brought by tho steamship, Enpreas
Of Japan, that has just arrived from
Yokohoma. Tho closing scone, n
gloomy one, was enacted just before tho
vessel left Japan, on March 80, and in.
ternational complicati ons may resnlt.
For months past tho 90 vermont OF
Corca has been living under tho shadow
OF q plot, meuacing continually tho very
lifo OF tho king and his ministers.
Within the last few months n conspir-
acy OF some twenty-soven persons be.
longing to tho Kin clan, tho family late
In power, was exposed, and a majority
ofthe conspirators were arrested before
their plan could be matured and brought
into execution.
Tho design was to fro the palace on
the first day OF tho Chinese Now Year,
February Q. and during tho confusion
ensuing kill tho king and proclaim one
OF their own clan in his stead. A fow
identified with the plot escaped and it
is believed Ok Kin was one Of this NUN.
Der. He was leader OF tho progressive
party in Corea and noar tho end OF 1884.
he and his friends started revolution
md attempted to overthrow tho gov
ernment OF the conservatives, falling,
whereupon serious collision occurred
between the Japanese aud Chinese
troops in Soul and the Japanese lega.
ton was attacked by Chinese and Cor
cans. Tho Japanese minister and all
the Japanese residents in Soul had
narrow escape with their lives, while
many actually were killed or wounded.
Kin and few others OF tho revolution
ist leaders had to seek refuge In Japan,
whore they have since resided.
His life has since been attempt
ed by assassins, thought to have
been sent by tho Corean government
who considered his existence in Japan
detrimental to their safety. Luckily ho
escaped for years and was waiting for
the time when the Corean king would
pardon him. On March eth he visited
Shanghai. and put up at the Japan
hotel, where he was ono night stabbed
to death from behind by Corean
named Koshowu, who had accom- panied
him from Japan as his body servant,
and who was arrested on tho Goth by
the settlement police. The assassin is
an educated man and has been identified
as the same who few days previous
approached one Lii Itsu Shoka with d
proposal to do away with Kin and his
former colleague Boko Yoi Ko. When
Ko sho Mus's baggage was searched, a
letter from the king OF Corca was found,
ordering the removal OF Boko, Kin and
other refugees.
Other circumstances point equally
plain to be concerted action against
those Coreans whose freedom OF speech
had made them obnoxious to the gov
ernment and "now that the blow has
fallen and tho last OF tho Kins has been
cut off," to quote the Japan advertiser,
official dominion in Corea will no doubt
breathe littlo moro freely for time.

COLUMBUS, O., April 1.-THE United
Mine Workers Of America have ordered
a general strike April q.
J. A. Crawford, OF Illinois, member OF
the executive board. presented tho res.
olution to strike. Ho said from twelve
to fourteen resolutions had been refer.
red to the committee, but they had de-
cided to substitute two, one of which
is to strike April %. This precipitated
prolonged applause and animated dis.
cussion. W. D. VanIIorn, Of Indianap-
oils, opposed tho date, asserting that In
diana minera had contract with the
operators to work until May l. The
operators had asked them to accept q
reduction, but it had been opposed and
the wages have not been reduced. He
was in favor OF suspension OF work
May !.
Joseph Dunkerly, state president OF
Indiana. was bitterly opposed to the
date. He also wanted assurance that
Illinois was ready, for II Illinois is not
then the coal operators Of that state
could supply all the states.
The date was changed to the olst, on
account Of the 22d being Sunday, and
carried.
The second resolution referred to
above provides tha. in case the first
general suspension Of mining fails to
bring the desired results, the executive
board is authorized to order another
suspension during the year at any time
that may be deemed advisable.
1t is understood that the Indiana
miners, in joining the movement in the
face OF their contract to mine until May
l, did SO, upon the ground that they
were compelled under the circumstances
to enter upon the suspension, claiming
that the operators In one diatric. had
first violated the agreement and placed
colored men in their places, which
made it optional with the miners to say
whether the contract should be con.
tinu.ed.
Another important work will be the
arrangement of scale for the various
states. This has been placed in the
hands OF tho following committee: W.
B. Wilson, Pennsylvania; NJ. Mahy,
indianapolis; John Nugent, Ohio
Thomas Fairy, West Virginia; W. q.
Webb, kentucky, and Thomas Nc
Gregor, Missouri. Tho committee was
appointed BY President Mcbride.

Pittsburgh Operators Not Alarmed,

PIrTsBURdH, April 1.-The Pitts
burgh coal operators do not seem
alarmed over the determination OF tho
miners to strike this spring. They
have long expected such decision on
the part Of the leaders. They do not
believe, however. that there is such a
strong organization among the indiyld.
ual miners as the leaders claim.
Mr.. Carsey said In an interview
that the operators became alarmed
prior to the Connellsville coke region
strike, but thoy believe now that tho
claims of John Cairns and his associates
as to tho number OF men organized, and
who can be brought out on strike are
exaggerated. ~ can voice the larger
operators though. when say that they
are perfectly willing to pay higher
wages if the miners can induce or force
the smaller operators to live up to a
scale. Thero has been no meeting
called to take action upon this latter
subject, as was reported"
