RUSSIAN MARINES MARCH TO SEOUL
Ntog OF Corca Under Their Prote ction-
Ant ia panese Ministry.

London Feb. 16.-The Times will
print a dispatch from Kobe, Japan, to-
morrow which says:
News from Seoul, Corea, proves that
Russia made a remarkable coup on the
night of February 10. On that night
200 Russian marines, with a field gun,
were landed at Chemulpo and marched
to Seoul. The king secretly left the pal
ace for the Russian legation, whence
he proclaimed his ministers guilty OF
treason. Two of the ministers were ar
rested and the other fed.
Tai Won Kan, the father of the king
is prisoner at the legation. An anti
japanese ministry was then formed. A
bitter feeling has been aroused in ia
pan. A cabinet council was held, at
tended by the military officials.
1t is reported that the Russian min
lister declared that Russia was not re-
sponsible and that he merely afforded
protection at the kings request. But il
is believed this precludes a Russian
protectorate over Corea.
REPORTS ARE CONFIRMED
Washington, Feb. 16.-Secretary Her
bert today received a cablegram from
Captain McNair commanding the
Asiatic station, confirming the news
paper reports of the renewed disturb
ances in Corea.

Matter win BE Postponed Untu Govern
meut Eueineers Make Survey.

Washington, Feb. 15.-It is doubtful
if any considerable appropriation can
be obtained at this session for the i'm
provement of the Okanogan river, for
the reason that as yet the government
engineers have not made a survey of
the stream to determine in what way
its improvement can best be accom-
plished or what 1t Will cost to do It,
The last river and harbor bill ordered a
preliminary examination of the river
from its mouth to the head of naviga-
tion This examination was made and
a report of 1t transmitted to the speaker
of the house of representatives last
January, but no action was taken upon
1t by congress at that time, and the
survey still awaits an appropriation.
1t has been contrary to the policy OF
the war department in the past to rec
ommend any appropriation for any
work that has not first had its cost de-
termined by means of a survey by COM
petent government engineers, and it is
quite probable this will be followed out
In the present instance.

scattered Broadcast
Chicago, Feb. 15.-Circulars denounc-
ing the machine and calling for fair
play for the masses of the people are
being distributed broadcast by the "an-
ti-Snapper" republicans today. These
are extracts:
'The question Is whether Abraham
Lincoln, standing upon the memorable
field of Gettysburg, when he said, We
are a government of the people, for the
people and by the people, spoke what
is true. True republicanism demands
the overthrow of every power which
strives to circumvent the popular will.
True republicanism demands the puri-
fication of our party, but before we go
forward to fight the enemy. purifica-
ton demands that we clean our own
stables before we attempt to clean out
the Augean stables of democracy. The
republican party was not born in the
brain of a politician nor in the brain
of any other set or character of men. 1t
sprang out of the common conscience
of the American people. Let US march
shoulder to shoulder and join in a
great crusade to restore the ancient
prerogatives of the people,"

HE LATEST NEWS FROM HAWAII
President Dole Returns From Visit to

Honolulu, Feb. s (via San Francisco.
Feb. 16, per Steamship MonowaD.-
President Dole returned to this city on
February 4. after paying an extended
visit to Hawaii In an interview the
president said:
when l visited Hawaii IA months
ago / saw very few natives. They did
not exhibit any inclination to see me.
and l did not intrude myself upon them.
This time it seemed different. There
was every evidence of kindly feeling on
their part, and in nearly every part
that l visited / was asked to address
them, and at the close of the meeting
they were profuse in expressing their
feelings by cordial handshakes. Poll
tics is not deeply seated in the hearts
Of Hawaiians. A majority of them do
not seem to care particularly for the
monarchy, but they are interested in
land, which, to my mind. is encourag-
ing"

WHERE PEARL BRYAN MEl HER FATE
The Negro Who Drove the Surrey Leads
ihe | ollce to the Scene.


Cincinnati, Feb. 16.-The excitement
in this city and vicinity over the atroc-
ious murder of Pearl Bryan has been
intensified by the astounding develop
ments made last night. People had
time for reading the papers today
The feeling tonight is one of the silent
but ready sort that portends latent dan
ger No outbreak is anticipated, and
a successful one here would be out Of
the question with the present efficiency
of the police and the military.
While the feeling is of the explosive
sort, the external restraint Is sufficient
to prevent an explosion. Every other
man one meets expresses the opinion
that short work should be made of these
men. The thinking and strictly law
abiding element in Covington and New
port have confidence in the courts and
believe in depending on the courts to
mete out justice to the prisoners. 1t is
now probable that they will be taken
to the Covington jail, which is very
strongly guarded and we'll situated to
resist a siege.
The detectives have clue to the sur
rey that was employed to carry the
human tigers and their victim to the
scene of the slaughter. They think they
have found the surrey on Walnut hill
and they are trying to identify it. Cir
cumstances that give weight to the tes-
timony of George Jackson, the negro
who drove the surrey to Fort Thomas,
are the high name he bears among all
his employers.
Major Widdekind of McGregor ave-
nue., Mount Auburn, the negro's pres
ent employer says: George II. jack
son is highly intelligent, very reticent,
has no bad habits, is competent, trust
worthy and efficient as an employe, and
is an active member of Zion colored
Baptist church."
procession of carriages containing
policemen and reporters started out at
l o'clock to Fort Thomas last night.
George II. Jackson drove the leading
carriage. The procession struck the
murderer's route at Vine and Third
streets, and, with George H. Jackson
for a guide, followed it to the bloody
ground. A halt was made at the New
port bridge toll booth to seek another
link in the awful chain that binds these
men to the guilt of Pearl Bryan's MUIR
der. Toll Collector Tarvin said he re-
membered the surrey driven by a col
ored man passing over the bridge about
u ClOCh Oh lHt morning Ol feDTudTN
1. 1t contained a man and woman and
there was a white man with the negro
driver on the seat.
The procession was led by George
Jackson by long circuitous route into
the Alexandria pike near Fort Thomas.
After driving a short distance, Jackson
stopped just where a blind lane set
out from the road and stopped.
Gai ha sic WI
the lady, telling me to turn the car
riage around and wait"
Where he stopped in the darkness last
night was about 200 yards from the spot
where Pearl Bryan was found dead on
the morning of February l. When the
negro described the strange noise and
the sounds of a scuffle in the leaves and
bushes, along with his own sudden
fright and flight, the by-standers shud-
dered and almost imagined they could
hear the rustic of the leaves in the
struggle of Pearl Bryan for her life.

London, Feb. 16.-The Paris corre-

follows to that paper:
The cabinet has sounded clear note.
If it succeeds, it is nothing more or
less than coup d'etat; if it fails, it is an
act of violence to no good end. The set
ting aside of the vote of the senate vir-
tually upsets the constitution. If the
senate stands firm, there are only two
alternatives-the resignation of the
ministers or the expulsion of the senate
by a mob. The chamber of deputies,
which reassembles on Thursday after
a cabinet council on Tuesday, may
however, recoil from a second vote
which might prove disastrous. The sit
uation is the most delicate we have
seen in 25 years.
SITUATION IS GRAVE.

patches from Paris all agree as to the

ZIMMERMAN HOME FROM ABROAD

q bsaten Record


bsater Record.
San Francisco, Feb. ia. A. Zim-
norman, the champion professional BIZ
cyclist, who arrived this morning from
Australia, attributes his failure to
come back with an unbeaten record to
the Australian climate. The bicycle
racers of that country, he says, do not
compare with those of America or Eng
land in speed, but no matter how fast
a foreign rider may be he can not ex-
pect to win races until he has lived long
enough in the country to become accli-
mated.
Zimmerman was rather reticent about
his plans in the United States. He said
he had not yet decided whether he
would race again. If he did race it
would probably be in Paris, where he
has a standing offer of $500 week for
one race a week.
