JAPANESE VERY

Efforts to Incriminate Them With the

The Attempt Made Against the Life OF
the Prince-Parent.
The Rainstorm General All Over the

Murdered Infant Found in Pew OF
Church at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-The
following special correspondence OF the
United Press under date of Toxic,
Japan, April 18th, was received to-day:
BY direction of the King of Corea, a
court has been held under the Presi-
dency of the Vice Minister of Justice
for the purpose of investigating tne
circumstances attending the Queens
death. The report compiled by ice
court shows that its main purpose was
to incriminate the japanese and eXten-
uate the part played by the Coreans
themselves. 1t will, of course, tend to
render the Japanese still more unpop-
ular in the peninsula, result doubtless
desired by the statesmen now in power
in Seoul
1t would seem that the Corean au-
thorities were privy to an attempt re-
Gently made against the life of tre
Prince-Parent. A man armed with
dagger was caught just outside the
old Princes bed chamber on the nlght
of the 10Th of March. He was seized,
tied up and questioned, but the pollce,
to whom no intelligence had been con-
veyed, suddenly appeared upon the
scene and carried him away, thus prov
ing that they had previous cognizance
of his doing.
Up to March 2Sth the number of
Japanese subjects murdered or badly
injured by the Corean insurgents was
forty, in addition to seventeen soldiers
killed.
Negotiations with reference to the
outrages against Japanese life and
property are going on between the
Government in Seoul and in Toxic.
The strength of the insurgents IN
Corea is broken by dissensions among
themselves. On March 22d their strong
hold at Kwang Flu, not far from Seoul,
was attacked by the Kings soldiers
and taken without much difficulty, the
rebels leaving more than 100 dead upon
the field and a score of prisoners. This
success dispels any fear of a movement
against the Capital. 1t is said that
provisions sufficient for years use
We're found stored in Kwang Flu.
The block in the Japanese silk market
continues. Foreign buyers expect that
if the European crop be up to the
average the Japanese will have to sell
at prices even lower than those now
ruling. The native silk merchants of
Yokohama have applied to the treasury
for loan of 100000 yen without in
terest, which they propose to pay back
in six years. Their idea is to devote a
million yen to purchasing 10000 bales
of silk at 100 yen above the present
price, this silk to be- held until an op-
portunity offers for selling at a profit
Meanwhile the remaining 3,OOO,0OO yen
is to be banked and it's interest applied
to repaying the loan There is not the
smallest probability that the treasury
will entertain this modest proposal.

psEUMATIC ArTI RE.

The pneumatic tire has made reVo- lution in the bicycle business. IL mas also made many revolutions when att tached to Bicycles. If reports are true the pneumatic tire is soon to be sup plemented by pneumatic attire. An observing, a thoughtful and an 1n- genious Monte Carlo croupier is about to engage in the manufacture or pneu- matic stockings for bicyclers who need them. They are to be of silk and elas- tic. with chamber for compressed air, inflatable in the usual way. The op- feet is to improve the appearance of a leg lacking in shapeliness, and to save the shins from contusions to which they are liable.
 1 The shins are not of much account They could get along comfortably as they have done. But the pneumatie stocking will be a boon for that par' of many legs which Is opposite tht | IL, who are obliged to look upon the legs of bicyclers. It will also greatly en courage rational or irrational dress that we read so much about. Womer who can easily supply certain deticien : c;es with pneumatic stockings will no have the reason they now have fo clinging to the clinging skirts. An' there will be more beauty on tn Orange street asphalt pavement thai there now is. There are many me- who will not disdain the pneumati stockings, and with them on they wi look prettier than ever.
 IA punctured tire is an annoyance
 but a pictured pneumatic stockin
 would be worse A female bicycle
 with punctured tire and puncture
 stocking would be both a sad perso

COWBOY RIDING.

Wonderful Sights at the Carnival on
 Laramie Plains.
 The cowboys of the Laramie Plains have just held their annual carnival near Laramie City, Nearly 200 punch CTS" from COW camps in various parts of the state were present, and at least 900 visitors from Laramie City and other towns witnessed the riding and roping feats, which made up the great CT part of the program. Nearly every body went out in wagons and buck boards. and fromed a sort of corral around an acre or so of ground where the main performances were given. A rope stretched around this inclosure gave the field a sporty look as if foot racing prize fight was to be the feature.

RRTrT 1T FfOTB4LI.

A crusade against football has been started in Missouri and Georgia, and an attempt is to be made in both those States to make law against the game. In Missouri the idea is to put it on the same plane as prize fighting.
 The football games this fall have fur nished enough reason for sharp criti- cism and protest. On Thanksgiving day alone football resulted in the death of one young man and the injury of forty-five. Among the injuries were the following: Collar bone broken; shoulders dislocated; body badly crush ed; made delirious by blow on head; knocked down and trampled on; arm broken and injured internally; left eye gouged out and left hip broken; left ear torn off; rib broken a second time. l The Chicago Tribune is hot against football as now played It says; "The | law provides penalties for cock fight ing, dog fighting, bull-baiting and prize fighting. none of which is as brutal ol demoralizing as football. Indictments | should be issued against the partici. pants on the grounds of cruelty ant gambling. If the laws are not stric l enough to cover this offense agains humanity then they should be made so l If college presidents and professors ar' too cowardly to restrain brutality thel prosecuting attorneys and juries should come to their assistance" And 1t adds It is patronized by parents who hav
 singular ideas of duty to sons. It i
 patronized and encouraged by facul
 ties and college officers, who have stil
 more singular ideas of what constitute
 a curriculum. Apparently the curricu
 lum from their standpoint is synony
 nous with the Circus Maxirnus, an
 sheepskin means pigskin and alumni
 degenerate They appear bent upo
 trying to undo all that civilization an
 Christianity have been trying to do to
 wards the eradication of the brutal i
 human nature.

 on account of it. She isn't playin
 football this year.

mARKs OF FEFINEMENT.

One of our esteemed local contempo- raries says that the young gentlemen of Yale who made such a disgraceful row Saturday evening and got into the lookup bore marks of refinement. It is singular how these marks of refine- ment will persist in many who sink low enough to get into the lookup. Not a few of the drunken and brutal ones have them. They speak of a better past and give some hope of better fu- ture. Doubtless there will be others in the City court this morning besides the young gentlemen of Yale who will bear marks of refinement and be correspond | ingly interesting.

FASHION NOTES.
The Colors That Are Popular.


 Of all the colors that are now in fashionable favor, green is easily the first. It is the one shade of all others for evening, street and reception, but especially for such occasions as are being met in cloth and velvet. Purple holds a good place, too, in brilliant uncompromising shade that is very distinct from soft, violet, which is also much in favor and usually Is more be- coming. Bright scarlet is permissible, hunting pink is as swell as swell can be when rightly employed. Black comes to the front each season as the most entirely correct thing for almost any occasion, and this season it's recogni- ton seems more than usually general. All shades of brown are much worn, but they are distinctly among the un- sensational effects.
