with blood. lie had a saber cut across
his face and half dozen serious wounds
upon his person. Dr. II. n. Allen,
an Ohio man, then connected with the
Presbyterian Medical Mission here, was
called in. lie took charge of him, and
il was by his skill that an almost mira
culous cure was effected. No Corean
could have saved him. aud it was
through this treatment that Dr. Allen
became the most influential foreigner in
Corca. The king and queen treated
him almost as one OF their family. and
Il Is through him that the American
missions have so pfospcred, and that
the influence Of the United States Is
today superior TO that of any other
nation in the world-but this Is another
story.

In the meantime while this was going
on, Kim OK Kun and one Of his con-
iederatcs ran to the palace They
stationed the japanese cadets at the
gates and permitted no one but their
friends to enter. They told the king
that the Chinese soldiers were going to
overthrow the government and capture
him. They charged some OF the Off.
cials with being in the plot and urged
him to flee with them. General Han was
present. lie objected to the King going
with Kim, whCfcupun Kim kicked him
and told him he was a traitor 10 the
king. His majesty believed kims
story and he gave him his royal seat
Kim took this and sent for his most in
ilucnual enemies. As soon as they
arrived at the palace they we're told TO
20 to a certain room, where the King
was, and as they entered the door kims
cadets sliced of their heads. The King
before this had been taken to another
part OF the palace, and word was sent
to the Japanese legation asking Tor is
troops 10 come TO the palace to protect
the King. In the meantime the Chinese
legation saw what was going on. They
were, ] think, under the same man who
Is now minister at Cofca, and who, by
the way, Is one Of the shrewdcst diplo-
mats OF the world, and who has, / am
told, all the arrogance and the inpud.
encc that the Chinaman shows when
ever he gets the upper hand. With his
troops he attempted to take the palace.
The Coreans came to his assistance and
Rim saw the game was up. lie fled
first with the king to temple back Of
the palace, but the next day he allowed
the Chinese TO get possession Of his
majesty, and surrounded by his lapan-
csc guard, He'd to Chcmulpo and sailed
for Japan. Since then he has been
under the protection OF the Japanese
government, and IL Is only through
them that his life mas been preserved so
long.

There were about forty-one men employed
upon the city post-otiice building today.
Once upon a time. when hope was active,
it was figured out that fOrty-one men might
possibly complete the structure by May IL,
1879, but it has been evident for quite
awhile that forty-one men would overexert
themselves IL they got the place ready for
business much prior to the beginning of the
fiscal year commencing July 1, 1919. Two
years, nine months and thirty days have
vanished into the never-to-be-recovered
past since the job was commenced yet the
stone-work Of the second story is still in
complete.

Republican Campaign Committee
DOuSeS him.

The Seventh ward aldermanic con-
test is waxing warm, and if the Repub.
lcan city campaign continues in its
present course there is but little hope
for "Billy" Woodward. At a meeting
of the city committee yesterday morn.
ing the following resolutions were
adopted. which place that distinguished
body on record The resolutions con-
tain the following:
"Referring to the Colburn- Woodward
controversy In the Seventh ward, and to
the act of Mr.. Trussell in filing with the
city clerk list of judges of election
given to him by Mr.. Woodward, instead
of the list furnished by the Seventh
ward committeeman, the Republican
campaign committee wishes to give ex.
preston to the following: That in its
Judgment, Mr.. TrusselI, in substituting
for the list of judges furnished by the
regular committee the one furnished
by Mr.. Woodward. committed a grave
breach of duty, which this committee
most heartily condemns and regrets.
"Referring to the Colbur1-WOOdwa
aldermanic fight. this committee has
from the first recognized Mr.. Colburn
as the regular Republican nominee, and
as such entitled to Its full sympathy
and support. AS we'll before, as since.
Saturday, the 9th inst, this committee
has given Mr.. Colburn repeated assur-
ances of such recognition; it has con-
suited and advised with him and with
his committeeman; it has contributed
to the expenses of his campaign and
asked contributions from him to ours.
The position thus taken by this commit
tee at the beginning it has never
thought for a moment of abandoning,
viz: one of active. hearty, united and
answering support of Mr.. Colburn IN
his fight for his election as Republican
alderman for the Seventh ward, In
every way which it is proper for a cam
paign committee to support and assist
the nominees of the party whose
servant and agent it is.
The committee also formulated an
address," which says:
10 the Voters of the Seventh Ward:
The Republican campaign committee
wishes it to be generally known
throughout your ward that the head
quarters opened by W. b. Woodward,
at 2606 Bloomington avenue, are not the
Republican headquarters in your ward.
The regular Republican headquarters
are to be found at 2901 Bloomington
avenue, and we earnestly urge all loyal
Republicans to support the candidacy
of N. l. Colburn, the Republican nom.
