The Queen Of COren.

Chinese newspapers. reporting the
death of the Queen Of Corea and many
OF her attendants at the hands Of the
Japanese. say that they were hung up
by the hair, soaked in oil. and the
queens body reduced to ashes. The
Queen Of Corea was one Of the most
remarkable women of the age. She pos
sessed rare intellectual gifts, a vigorous
force of will and rare degree Of execu-
tive tact and astuteness. She had great
influence over the king and powerful
group Of adherents. At the same time.
she was very unpopular in certain quar-
tiers. and was relentlessly hated by per-
sons of weight and prominence In the
nation. Among the latter was the king s
father, Tai-Wun-Kun, who had many
followers. The Chinese and Japanese
war brought about climax between the
opposing forces. The queen was an ally
of China, and Tai-Won-Kun Of Japan.

Mr.. Evarts was principal counsel for
President johnson in the impeachment
trial, and he was counsel for the United
States at Geneva in the tribunal of
arbitration on the Alabama claims. Mr.
Evarts' good health has often excited
the comments of his brethren of the
bar. One day friend asked him the
secret of his immunity from disease
He replied jocularly:
Il attribute my good health to the
fact that I always get out of bed late
and never take any physical exercise"
Mr.. Evarts, in his conversation, did
not care to go into details of his long
professional and public career. He was
admitted to the bar of New York In
1841. He says he is good for twenty
five years more. and during every min

take the same keen interest in public
affairs that he has since the day he first

and continued in that connection until
the death OF Mr.. Tremain, when the firm
became Peckham & Rosendale.
As his father did before him, the
younger Peckham began the ascent OF
the ladder OF legal fame by means OF
the district attorneyship Of Albany
county, which he attained in 1869. He
made brilliant record as prosecutor.
He always took deep interest In State
and National politics, being active In
the presidential conventions Of 1876 and
1880, when he was leader OF the Tilden
forces. After serving as corpor alton
counsel Of Albany. he was, in 1888.
elected a Justice OF the supreme court
for term OF fourteen years. His cleo
ton to the court of appeals followed In
1886. His eloquent denunciation OF the
Onondaga county election frauds won
for him the opposition Of Gov. Hill, who
procured the disastrous nomination Of
Maynard for chief justice Of that court
to prevent Judge Peckham's nomination
for 1t. Judge Peckham's term would ex-
pire in 1900.
1t will be remembered that Wheeler
H. Peckham was nominated for the SUI

Senator Hill. The senator. however.
