Vancouver, B. c., May 23.-Through
advices received by the steamship En-
press of India, it is learned that the
trouble that has been brooding in Co
rea has at last taken definite snaps and
Chinese soldiers are being poured into
the country. The first real outbreak
occurred at the Sing-La-Too, but it was
premature through the misunderstand-
ing of arrangements of insurgent plans
by the persons at the head of the move
ment at that point
1t had been the intention to have up
risings all over the country simultane-
ously, and so paralyze the officials and
get complete control before help could
be secured. This break coming before
the general uprising has given the
clue, and the insurgents are being ar
rested and arms siezed at many points
What the effect would have been had
the whole plan worked may be judged
from what occurred at the Sing-La-
Too. Three thousand fully armed men
were mustered, and before the guards
could recover from their surprise the
governors palace was in their possess
sion. No mercy was shown and the
governor and his forty officials were
put to death, the most detested of them
being horribly and disgustingly mutt
lated

Ray of Light in Passenger Associa-
ton Skies.

Chicago, May 23.-There is now a
strong probability that the troubles of
the Western Passenger association
over the emigrant traffic will be settled
within the next few days.
President Reinhart, of the Atchison,
sent a telegram to President Clark, of
the Union Pacific, reminding him that
they would enter meeting with
reference to a settlement of the diff
ferences between the lines.
The proposed agreement, which was
accepted by both lines, distinctly pro
vided that east-bound California bust
ness was to be included as we'll as the
west-bound. This apparently was Mr..
Clark's understanding of the matter,
for he sent back to Chicago, General
Passenger Agent LomaX, Of the Union
Pacific, with instructions to have the
matter fixed up.
Mr. Lomax, who originally raised the
question Of exempting the east-bound
business from the agreement, arrived
in Chicago today, and will tomorrow
have conference with the Western
Passenger association lines in relation
to the emigrant troubles.
There is no reason why the thing
cannot be settled with the Union
Pacific in a complaisant mood as it
is the only road which has been stand
ing in the way Of a settlement for the
last three months.
The presidents of the Western
Freight association lines met today and
formulated plan by which rates can
be maintained, and it was referred to
committee of eleven vice-presidents
OF the lines represented to work out
its details and report it tomorrow for
revision and adoption. The best of feel
ing was manifested at the meeting.

stand ne turned and saw five Of them
off together, but he did not see the IA

his flag. 1t was a bad blunder, and

SCANDAL IN IT'S WALL.
Startling Statement About ST. Mary's
Seminary, Chicago.

Chicago, May 23.-Attorney General Ma
loney. this afternoon, fled a bill in the
circuit against Sister Francis, mother SUI
perior of the community of the Servite
Sisters, who conduct St Mary's seminary,
on Van Buren, street and Albany avenue.
The suit is to recover real estate and
lea, formerly a member of the commun-
ity, and several others who claim they
were instrumental IN soliciting the funds
for the purchase of the lands and erection
of the convent, claim the mother superior
has conveyed to herself the title of the
property, and that when asked by Arch
bishop Feehan to reconvey it to the Ser
vite Sisters, assert she promised to do
so, but has not complied with the re-
quest. The attorney general declares 1t
office to inquire into alleged abuses of
trusts, and especially charities.
During the day a sensa tional scene &C.
Cured when Sister Gertrude, one of the
mother superior's supporters, called at the
attorney generals Office and not being
read the bill that the encouragement in
tends to file. She says it contains al
legat iotls OF. immortality against the mother
superior. Attorney-General Maloney hap
pened in and seeing the sister reading the
bill in advance Of its filing, became great
" excited, and ordered her out. The
sister came out much agitated and fell
fainting in the Office of Attorney Matthew
Brady, across the hallway.
Some time ago, Sister Veronica and sew
the convent, claiming a scandal was hid
den within its walls, in the person of
Professor Mcdonald, a music teacher in
the seminary. Sister Veronica's secular
Mother Superior Mary Frances, is Eliza
beth Coolin.

A PRETTY DILEMMA.
Coshlan Must Chose One of the Two
Horns.

Chicago. May 23.-Ex-Governor John
L. Beveridge, grandfather of Kuehne
Beveridge, who married Charles Cogh-
Ian, consented last night to speak of
the marriage for the first time
''The marriage" he said, was to-
tai surprise to me and I foresaW it's un-
fortunate result. 1t has come sooner
than 1 expected, simply because Cogh-
Ian was at a point of responsibility
when the marriage took place. There
are two horns to the Coghlan side of
the case. If he makes no defense in
the divorce suit he practically confess
ses there was never a marriage be-
tween what is called wife No. and
himself. This will at once fix her status
in society and declare the daughter
Gertrude illegitimate. If, on the other
hand, Coghlan undertakes to prove a
marriage with No. and succeeds, this
will throw Kuehne's case out of court
because the marriage was clearly illegal
but it will at the same time render him
liable to prosecution for bigamy and he
will be taken to Indianapolis and tried
and convicted. In either event We'll
give him all the law and justice we can
get in the courts

BUTTE AND HIS BRIBE.
Holman Furnishes the Key to His
Explanation.

Washington, May &c. w Buttz,
who is accused Of attempting to bride
senators to vote against the tariff bill,
was before the investigating committee
today He gave the committee the
name of E. E. Holman, a claim attor-
ney in this city as one who could throw
light upon the whole transaction so far
as he (Buttz) was concerned.
Mr.. Holman was summoned. His
testimony furnishes the key to Buttz'
transaction. When he emerged from
the committee room Mr.. Holman said
My mouth is sealed as to the pro-
ceedings in the committee, but I can
say to you that that story that / was
the principal in the bribery affair is
without foundation. 1t was through
pure accident that | CHANGED to know
anything of the business, and it came
about through my happening to be in
when Mr.. Buttz was there. Harris was
a lobbyist, and talk drifted to the
tariff I think 1 know said Major
Harris, where [ could make $685. 900 or
$50, 900, if l knew how the Populists
would vote on the bill, and turning to
Buttz, remarked to him, You're just
the man to learn that fact, and will
give you 9lUU " llllO Jul lOA liz
81 heard this conversation, and 1
suppose that is the reason was sum
moned 1 certainly had no connection
with any attempt at bribery or lobby
ing on the bill, and 1 can't afford to
have that impression concerning me
get OUT
Mr.. Holman said the man Harris,
who had made this proposition to
Buttz, had died on the 18th of LAST
April and that he was the only witness
to the conversation between Buttz and
Harris.
Major Buttz testimony was devoted
largely to an explanation of his alb
sence from the city yesterday. He de-
MED again that he made direct pro-
position to bribe Senator Kyle, and
stated his only purpose in approaching
him was to learn how he would vote.
Senator Gray said, today, he knew
Of no other witnesses to call in this
branch of the inquiry, and that the
report on the alleged effort to bride
Senators Hunton and Kyle would be
prepared as soon as possible and sub
mitted to the Senate.
