A CoRBAN ENVOY.
Prince Ouye VIVA May BE Next Ruler
OF the Ex-Hermit Kingdom.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3, 1S95.-Mail adj
vices from Korea confirm the cabled an
nouncement that Prince Ouye Wha, the
second son of the King, is now on his way to
this country on special mission to thank
PresidanJ Cleveland for the interest the
United States has manifested in the indie
pendence of the hermit kingdom. The
Prince is attended by Youn Che Ho, re-
Gently Vice President of the Foreign Affairs
Office at Seoul who was for twelve years an
exile in this country. The Prince is expec ted
here in two or three weeks and will prob
ably spend month in Washington. after
which he will go to England and Russia with
messages to Queen Victoria and the Gar.
Prince Ouye Wha is about nineteen years
of age and IS said to be the brightest mem
ber of the Royal family. His elder brother,
the Crown Prince, is weak minded, and vio-
lent opposition has developed to his success
sion 10 the throne in case of his fathers
death, the progressive men of the country
insisting that Prince Ouye VIVA shall be the
next king The latter young man has had
many advantages not open to the Crown
Prince, who, because of his rank, has been
hemmed about with ceremonious restrlc-
tions and has never been allowed to leave
the palace enclosure.
Prince Ouye Wha, on the other hand, has
been constant visitor at the American and
other legations in Seoul, learning the Eng
lish language and much of foreign customs,
and is easily the most progressive member
OF the royal family.
When the Chinese were driven out of
Korea last year he was sent with a special
message Of thanks to the Japanese Emperor,
spending a long time in Toxic.

Downing of Newport made an address,
in which he set forth in strong language
the spirit that actuated John Brown,
and said that it might be necessary to
have the spirit of another John Brown

NOLLE PROSSED.
Prosecutor Winfield Com
PEELED to Drop the Fred
erick Conspiracy
Case.
WITNESSES WOULDN'T TESTIFY
Story of a Peculiar Attempt to
Procure a License for a
Kearny Hotel.
WITNESSES WOULDN'T TESTIFY

A sensational case involving Hudson
county editor the Licensing Board of
Kearnv township.a Brooklyn doctor, two
Newark ladies and two real estate
agents. was brought to a close this af-
ternoon when Prosecutor Winfield told
q News reporter that the case of the
People against Bernard j Fredericks
for conspiracy had been nolle pressed
by Judge Hudspeth.
Mr.. Winfield took the Indictment in the
case and informed the Court that the
chief witnesses resided in Brooklyn,
and they had refused to come over and
testify against Mr.. Fredericks.
Mr. Fredericks. the editor of a little
paper in Kearny it was alleged, had
promised to use his influence with the
Licensing Board of that important city
to grant license for roadside hotel,
which had previously been a very wicked
place.
HISTORY OF THE DEAL
There was certain fascinating brun-
ette widow of the name of Harrar,
who had leased the hotel since its Ii
cense had been taken away. and this
lady ran it as a temperance house.
The owner of it. Mr.. Kaplan, of
Brooklyn. was eager to secure a license
for it. and with two friends came one
day to Mrs Harrar's hotel and talked
with her about procuring a license.
Mrs. Harrar says that Kaplan told her
that Mr. Fredericks could work two of
the members of the board. but it would
cost $3.50 or thereabouts. Mrs. Harrar's
daughter charming young lady with
blond curls and blue eyes, was admitted
into the room during the conference,
and the men were SO ensIaved by her
bewitching smile that they not unnatur-
allv swore to get the license for the
equally Fascinating mamma or die.
1t is proverbial that ladies can't keep
secrets. and so in the course of between
four and five minutes after the mother
and daughter promised to say nothing
and saw wood the secret was confided
to a female friend and from her to a
male friend. and by this mode which
beats telegraphy hollow it came to
the ears of the very people who should
not have heard it.
INDIGNANT OFFICIALS
The Licensing Board had fit of moral
heroics.
