WASHINGTON, Oct l5,--Thers Is still
no official confirmation hero Of tho re-
ported assassination OF the queen Of
Korea, and although there may be pol
itical motives for a coueealment for 4
time OF such tragedy, officials here
think it possible that the queen may bs
alive, as the dispatches arc somewhat
doubtful on this poiut. 1t is recalled
that a similar state OF affairs existed in
Korea in 1851, and that then the report
was circulated that she was dead. At
that time this same Tai-Won' Kun,
tho father Of the king, who il said to
have led the last attempt upon the
queens life, attacked the palace with u
largo band OF AdherenB and captured
the persons oi the king and queen. The
queen was condemned 10 ho poisoned,
but by the sublime devotion Of one Of
her handmaidens, she escaped. Tho
maid took tho poison aud the queen
was secretly carried of by her friends
aud hidden in tue mountains, while the
report was sent out that she had been
killed.
The Chinese government. which
maintained the sovereignty over Korea
almost entirely through the active sup.
port and sympathy OF the queen, took
active stspS to redress her wrongs and
sending large force OF troops TO Korea,
Toinstaled her and her husband on tho
throne and carried old Tai.won-Kuu of
into exile in China from which he was

hoppers. II will never forget how full
the fields were with them. We came TO
town in the afternoon and procured long
boards with which to brush the hOppers
from the corn. We had prepared to 20
to work in the morning as soon as it was

up in the morning there was no sign of

pr,,ish Investment, in "Americans."
Human sentiment has It's tides. like
those OF trade. People cannot or VIII
not stay pessimistic long. For two
weary years we have been hearing of
nothing but loss and disaster; after
such a prolonged strain trifies hght as
air are seized upon as strong conhrma-
ton Of the hope for better prices IN
the near future, and the tide OF sent-
ment turns. Our London friends since
1892 in a panic OF fear have been send
ing back to us large amounts or Donds
of whose security and safety there
could be no reasonable doubt. 1t was
foolish. but the tide was running that
way and nothing could stop 1t. Now
that British sentiment Is changing,
these same English friends who would
not hold "gilt-edged" bonds are buy
ing millions of shares OF American
railways. a good part of which in the
slang of Wall street are eats ana
dogs" shares considered by US as al
most worthless intrinscally and SELL
ing at nominal prices, whose purchase
no responsible American banker has
recommended.
1t is possible that this buying OF low
priced stuif-which has It's humorous
side in the light of recent history
will prove profitable as speculation.
Since the Barring liquidation, in 1880,
capital has been accommodating in Lon
don and in continental cities awaiting
investment. The owners are tired or
holding it unemployed. Meanwhile the
craze about gold-mining In Africa fur-
nishes an illustration of what may hap
pen. The English people have invest
ed more than $600,000,0 900 in African
mining, on which the expected returns
in 1895 will not exceed per cent. So
great has been the excitement, begun
more than a year ago, that the de-
scription "KafIir Circus" has been ap-
piled to the performances on the Lon
don Exchange. Nor is the excitement
subsding. On the contrary, there are
signs of it spreading to France and
Germany. If such a craze should seize
the English people about cheap Amerl-
can railroad securities, the purchasers
of our low-priced shares would reap
rich harvest. OF course accompanying
such sales there have been large
amounts of coed bonds and stocks
placed in London.-The Forum, New
York.

TYpEsETTlNG BY SOUND.
THE TELEGRAPH AND THE LIMO
TYPE HARNESSED TOGETHER.
PRESS DISPATCHES PUT INTO COLD
TYPE JUST AS THEY ARE RE.
CEIVED OVER THE TEI.E.
GRAPH WIRE BY THE
OPERATOR.


At the Office Of the Louisville
Post there was recently demonstrated
ihe feasibility of taking press dis T.
patches directly from the wire and
putting it into type on a Mergent.
haler machine. The experiment was
conducted by Boyle |. Boyle, manag
ing editor OF the Louisville Post, and
Richard Cogan, of a Western news
association. A wire was run into the
composing room of the Post Office.
A giant telegraph sounder, placed
within resonator, was located at the
height of the receiving operators ear
and close enough to him to avoid the
slight noise of the machinery, says the
Electrical Review. Then Mr.. Cogan
selected a number of press dispatches
and sent them over the wire to Mr..
Boyle, who took them on the linotype
directly from the Telegraph instru.
ment.
At first speed of only fifteen words
per minute was attempted. but it was
at once apparent that the keybo ard ol
the Linotype was much swifter thar
this, and much higher rate of speed
could be maintained. Soon a maxi.
mum speed of fifty words per minute
was attained and kept up. The mat
ter was sent in abbreviated form
{" cut" as the operators say }, so tina
the receiver on the linotype spelled
it out in full and kept up with the
sending operator.
The speed Of the fastest tele
graphers is seldom more than hfty
words per minute, averaged on severa
hours work; the speed of the fastest
linotype operators is often 1900 ems
an average speed for the telegraph il
twenty five words per minute, allow
ing for stoppages the average for thu
linotype is 1890 ems per hour. Sc
that it can be readily seen that the
relative speed of the two are abou
the same, and with proper practic'
any intelligent telegraph operato
should be able 10 "take' repor
on the linotype. The keyboard ant
its attachments on the linotype ar,
swifter than the typewriter, and it i
thought that by introducing this ma
chine directly to the receiving opera
tor that the intermediate services o
the typwriter can be dispensed with
and the telegraph NATTER" give
10 the newspaper editors in the form
of "proof" instead Of "copy."
