KING OF CoREA.
ATTEMPT MADE TO DRIVE HIM
FROM THE PALACE.
Object of the Conspirators Was to
BRING Strong Diplomatic Pres
sure Upon the Corenn Govern
ment to Remove Tai Won Kun
and Several ministers of State.

YOKOHAMA, Dec. 6.-Via San Fran
cisco, Dec. a. per steamship China-The
Seoul correspondent of the Chuo Shimbun
describes the disturbance of November 2S
When AN attempt was made to remove
the king of Corea and the crown prince
from the palace, according to the cor
respondent there was d conspiracy among
the Russian party, the American mission
aries and a few Coreans. A Corean spy,
! who had the confidence of the conspira-
tors, reports that meetings were held at,
the Russian legation, which were attend
ed by the Russian minister DR.. H. N AL
len, secretary of the American legation;
General w. Nee. Dye, General LIE Gendre
and few Coreans. The object of the
conspirators was to bring strong diplo-
matte pressure upon the Corean govern
ment, to remove the Tai Won Kun and
several ministers of state who had been
connected with the attack on the queen
last October. An attack on the palace
was arranged for the night of November
q. A mob of armed roughs engaged the
attention of the police. while body of
disbanded guards marched to the palace
expecting to effect a surprise and an easy
entrance. The garrison, however had been
warned and the attacking party itself was
surprised and dispersed. The object of
the American missionaries who We're i'm
pl1cated, 1t is said, was personal, not po-
litical. They wished to avenge the death
of the queen, who was an ardent Chris
tan. The Japan Mail reprints the above
story with all reserve
The Japanese papers charge that the
latest outbreak in Seoul is directly due
TO Russian influence. The Chuo Shunbun
says:
The Corean government, yielding to
pressure, exercised by the minister. of a
certain country, have decided to place the
the late queen to her rank, to give her a
public funeral, and to arrest and punish
certain fugitives in Japan.
The telegram adds that there are seven
Russian men-of-war in Corean waters
Other japanese papers assert that three
foreigners were actually seen leading the
mob in the attack on the palace, and that
ton were implicated; also an American
missionary named Underwood
News from China states that the Mo-
hammedan rebellion seems to have been
brought under control. Disputes between
the insurgents and peaceably disposed
Moslems have greatly weakened the
strength of the uprising and a large force
ating the Mohammedans and destroying
their mosques. There is a steady i'm
provement noticeable in the deme2nor of
Chinese officials towards the Christian
missionaries
The United States gunboat Yorktown
left Yokohama for Shanghai December L.
1t is stated on reliable authority that
China intends to recall Admiral Lang and
give him absolute control of her navy
The japanese Gazette takes this as evil
dence that China is preparing for another
fight with Japan.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.-The Re-
publican members of the Ways and
Means committee held another confer
ence this afternoon and decided upon
several changes in the two revenue
bills which will be introduced in the
House Thursday. The most important
change in the tariff bill was to drop
the clause putting in cereal bread
stuffs. live stock and dairy products
at an advance of % per cent over the
Wilson-Gorman rates, so these fea-
lures will simply have the fifteen per
cent advance under the horizontal
clause. 1t was also decided to adj
vance carpet woods to the Mckinley
bill rates. but other woods and manu-
featured products of wool will remain
at 60 per cent of the Mckinley tariff,
according to the agreement of yester-
day. The other change was to eX-
empt sugar from the provisions of the
clause for the horizontal advance of
Is per cent Lumber will remain, as
was decided yesterday, at 60 per cent
of the Mckinley duty. In the bond
bill the principal issue authorized will
be change of the rate of interest
authorized by the account of 1873 from
to per cent, and these bonds will
be payable at the option of the gov
eminent after three years The rate
of interest for the one year treasury
certificates of Indebtedness was raised
from , to 3 per cent. This bill also
provides for the temporary isolation
of the greenbacks. so they will be
held separate in the treasury and not
included within the general assets of
the government
Several important considerations op-
Grated to bring about the changes in
the tariff bill. There has been little
doubt from the beginning that sugar
would be exempted from whatever tar
iff changes were made, because many
attempts to alter the schedule would
give rise to combinations.
The decision to drop farm products
and cattle from the list of duties to
be advanced will cause much disap-
pointment among the western men.
but so much trouble arose over the
settlement of these iteme that it was
thought best to drop their considera-
ton An effort was made to have
iron and steel and their products
given an advance. but it met the op-
position of the western men and was
abandoned. its abandonment also hav-
ing something TO do with dropping the
live stock and cereal advances contem-
plated. The iron and steel interests
argued that they should be equally
favored with the farmers.
Members of the committee state
emphaticaliy that these bills are not
intended in any way to represent Re
publican policies on the tariff or
finance: they are merely temporary
expedients to meet emergency, the Re
publicans holding the emergency is
caused by an insufficiency of reve-
nues. Chairman Dingley was in con-
ference today with Secretary Carlisle
over the bills.
Tomorrow both bills will be adopted
by the committee at a meeting which
the Democratic members Will attend.
They will be reported to the House
Thursday with a rule giving that day
for debate on the tariff bill with a vote
at the close. and Friday for debate on
the second bill, bringing that to a
vote for Friday night

ARE ANTIQUATED.
MILES OPINION OF OUR COAST
DEFENSES.
Fortress Monroe Does Not Deserve
Any Such High Sounding Title
What Might Be Done.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-It is now
learned that the main purpose of Cen
eral Niles visit to the cities on the
south Atlantic coast was to ascertain
by personal inspection the condition
of the coast defences in that section
and to call the attention of the south
ern people to the exposed position they
would occupy in the event of HOSTILE
ties. He was particularly impressed
with the antiquated condition of the
defences at Fortress Monroe, which
are relied upon, not only to guard the
national capital and Baltimore and
Norfolk and Richmond from attack by
water, but even more to form an i'm
pregnabIe base of naval operations and
q safe refuge for our war ships in the
event that they are forced to retire
before an, overwhelming hostile naval
force. Although the war department
has very little money available, it pro-
badly will take immediate steps to i'm
prove the defences there, relying upon
sufficient appropriations from the pres
ent Congress to restore the works to
the standing they had at the breaking
out of the civil war, namely, one of
the Strongest systems of defence in the
world

SEiGNOkAGE.
Crisp and Bailey VIII Offer n New
Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. PA plan has
been drafted by ex-Speaker Crisp and
Mr.. Bailey, of Texas. which will be
offered as a substitute for the Republi-
can measures to be presented Thurs
day.
It is based on the old bill for the
coinage of silver seigniorage, which
was passed by the last Congress and
vetoed by the president but to this
bill modified will be added a feature for
the redemption of greenbacks. The
principal change in the seigniorage bill
will be the omission of that part which
rendered available the seigniorage be-
fore it had been coined by the use of
silver certificates based upon it. The
trainers of the bill hold that this fea-
ture is not necessary because there is
no immediate deficiency in the treas
ury. The other feature of the plan
will provide for the redemption of
greenbacks in silver whenever the
amount of gold in the treasury falls
below $1O0,0OO,00O. This may be offered
as an amendment to the seigniorage
bill as more votes can be mustered for
the former than the latter proposition.
The Democrats who favor the plan in
tend. of course. merely to place them
selves on record as consistent in their
financial policy.

Penitentiary.

OMAHA. Dec. 24.-The federal court
authorities today received evidence
that counterfeit money in small guam
titles has been turned out of the Ne
braska penitentiary. The story came
out through j. C. Fraser, an ex-con-
vict. while testifying in the United
States court Fraser said counterfeit
money was made in the penitentiary
and put into circulation from there.
Asked if he had received any of it,
he said no. because he did not belong
to de gang" and it would. therefore,
do him no good.
He explained the gang as meaning
the officers of the institution. He did
not mean the warden, but some of the
men in the employ of the contractor.
He gave names, including that of one
man who was foreman in the peni-
tertiary until the state bought out the
contract 1t will be investigated.
