AGAINST SCOTT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The Republican
senators held brief caucus after the ad-
journment of the senate today, and decid-
ed that in case the emergency should
arise they would support Senator Frye
for president pro tenn of the senate. 1t
was suggested as probable that the vice
president might be Unexpectedly absent
at some time and that in that event it
would be well for the Republicans to be
prepared for the occasion. No vote was
taken but the suggestion met with unan-
imouS favor. 1t was also agreed to post
pone any consideration of the question of
electing a secretary and a sergeant-at-
arms until the senators from Utah, who
are soon expected to arrive, shall take
their seats. This proposition was also
received with no opposition

PLOT TO RESTORE
COREA'S QUEEN
A Romance EqualIing Rider Hag-
CARDS Productions.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Shanghai says:
A romance equaling anything which
Rider Haggard ever wrote comes from
Seoul, the capital of Corea, relating to
the conspiracy which broke out there
last November.
The facts are known only to a few
persons, one being the king and all
have the strongest motives for con-
cealment.
1t will be remembered that on Nov.
% an unsuccessful plot eliminated in
an attack on the palace by a number
of Coreans belonging to the queens
party. NJ. Waeber, the Russian
charge daffaires, Drs. Allen and In
derwood and other Americans were
accused on apparently good grounds
of being privy TO the plot. They were.
in fact. said to have been on the SPOT
simultaneously with the abortive at
tempt. They, however. denied all COM
plicity. The king and the Japanese,
being warned beforehand, posted ex-
ira guards and foiled the conspiracy.
Your correspondents information now
shows that NJ. Waeber and the Eng
lish consul shared the secret, the OBJ
ject being to sieze the ministers, expel
the Japanese, free the king from the
latter's influence and
RESTORE THE QUEEN,
who was reputed to be dead, but who
rotary of legation was the leading
spirit in the conspiracy and was de-
puted to conduct the queen from her
place of hiding to the palace The
failure of the attempt necessitated the
keeping of the secret of the queen be
ing in existence, which is now for the
first time divulged. When in October
the Coreans and Japanese broke into
the palace the queen, seeming danger,
fled hastily, without speaking to her
women, to an obscure clubhouse and
saw the bodies of her ladies in waiting
dragged to the pyre prepared for them
outside and watched the completion
of the tragedy from her hiding place.
The
QUEEN WAS CONCEALED
for an hour and a half, every moment
expecting discovery. She fed at last
through a secret passage to the old
palace and thence, after changing her
dress, made her escape outside the
walls of the city, where she reached a
place of safety. When the Japanese
and Coreans examined the charred
bOd1eS OF the women VINO ndQ Deen
burned the king and some others
shrewdly feigned that they had dis
covered the Identity of the queen in
one Of the victims, lest a search should
reveal her whereabouts and lead to
her murder The Japanese accepted
the accounts of the queens death as
true. NJ. Waeber and HiIber, The
latter being the German consul, must
have been privy to the secret, which
was, however, well kept. Three
Coreans were strangled last week as
the queens nurderers while the trial
of Viscount Muru and other Japanese
officials is proceeding at Hiroshima
for the murder of a woman who still
lives. Lii Han Shin, the leader of the
last abortive plot, is in hiding here.
An American friend who came here
on the Russian cruiser Otvajny, says
that Russia is using the supposed
murder of the queen as a weapon
against the Japanese, although we'll
knowing it's falsity The queen has
been killed by rumor twice before.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Jan. 19.-Prof. E. F.
Coffey, Of this city. has received a letter
from Lake Chapala, state Of Jaisco,
Mexico, which says that few days ago
residents of one of the small settlements
near the western end of Lake Chapala
were terrified to see a gigantic whirlpool
raging far out on the water. The water
rose in great serpentine movements and
from all directions rushed towards a
common center, where vast cavity SEEM
ed to exist. At the same time q heavy
Iunbling was heard, apparently in the
Bowels of the earth. The whirlpool was
caused by the sudden sinking of large
portion Of the lakes bottom. The dis
turbance continued for twenty minutes
and before 1t subdued it is said that
several pleasure boats were drawn into
the whirlpool and disappeared with their
occupants. 1t is estimated that a score
of lives were lost.

ant Decision.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-The su-
preme court of the United States to-
day rendered its first decision in the
Indian depreciation claims, who are
before il in the shape of appeals from
the court Of claims.
The case passed upon today was that
of B. K. Johnson. who claims to have
lost property through depredations of
the Utes of Colorado and Utah, and
the opinion was handed down by JUS
tice Brewer. The opinion did not en-
ter into the abstract questions involved
in the case. but the decision was rem
dered against Johnson on the ground
that he was not a citizen of the Uni
ted States az the time the property
was lost, which was held to be a suf-
f1cient bar. Notwithstanding he after
ward took out papers.

His (Mr. Sherman's) garment was
one of many colors, in keeping with the
variegated lines of the party to which
he belonged. AT the present time the
Ohio senator and the president were
together in their financial views, both
equally obliVious to the constitutional
requirements that metals were to be
on equal terms. 1t was the Ohio SEN
ator who originated the evil of selling
bonds to a syndicate.
Proceeding Mr.. Morgan said:
THE senator from Ohio is the author
of the five new measures of finance
that have given the people and the
government more trouble in handling
the little remnant of $346, 900, 900 of
greenbacks than it did to pay twelve
billions of annual expenditures for the
support of the government and more
than three billions of principal and in
terest of the national debt.
These measures are the demone-
tization Of silver in 1873. the seques-
tration of the gold reserve in the treas
ury In 1873, the power given the secre-
tary Of the treasury in 1890 to pre-
serve the parity between the metals,
the power to sell bonds to private per-
sons by contract and to dispense with
the legal tender laws in their trans
actions

RICH JEWS.

Mr.. Morgan spoke of the admission
OF the rich Jews-Baron Rothschild
and Lord Beaconsfield-to the nobility
of England. It was turning the world
over to feudalism That system
existed today as much as in years gone
by-concentrating all power and wealth
in the hands of the feudal gold barons.
The senator urged declaration by
congress in line with a resolution of
tered by Stanley Mathews, that the
bonds would be paid in the money
with which they were bought. He sug-
gested also that ten per cent. rebate
on customs duties to countries coming
gold and silver on equal terms would
make New York instead of London the
clearing house of the world.
Mr.. Morgan spoke for two hours, and
then at o'clock the senate adjourned
until tomorrow.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-[Copyrighted 1896
by the Associated Press.EIt seems
pretty well established in the public
mind that Emperor William did not
mean to threaten war upon England
by his message Of sympathy to Presi-
dent Kruger. of Transvaal, and the
reports which were circulated a few
days ago Of an European alliance back
of Germany and against England, find
little further credence. 1t seems to be
accepted that the German emperor sim
ply intended to express his own opin-
ion of the Jameson raid in that mes
sage, and the temporary sentiment of
irritation which it caused him. This
is the general feeling, apparently, of
the public mind, and those organs of
public opinion which are in touch with
the government have undoubtedly
sought to deepen this impression.

LEFT UNEXPLAINED.

uncOntrddlcted assertion that the Ger
man government did apply to Portugal
for permission to pass marines through
Portuguese territory at DeIagoa bay
to the Transvaal, nor does it explain
the unfagging preparation of war ma
terial and equipment of war forces on
the part of England Of more
force seems the argument of
some newspapers that the waV-
ering support of Russia and France
has admonished the German war lord
that the Interpretation put upon his
message by England was putting him
into a hazardous position.
Whether this or some other cOnsid-
Grafton has altered the situation, it is
certain the diplomatic agents of all the
governments of Europe have been kept
busy in the last few weeks, and it is
expected the full result of their labors
is not yet in the knowledge of the pub
lie. That England has had a vision
of the destruction of the balance of
power in Europe, with herself in the
descending scale, is certain. Whether
she has made other strokes in the
hidden field of diplomacy besides her
formidable show of naval force is not
known.
The first feeling of assurance over
the better situation of the relations
with Germany is met by notes of
warning that there are still possible
seeds for much rancor and danger in
the situation in the Transvaal, and
that the Venezuelan question is, after
all, not yet settled, nor any basis
agreed upon for it's settlement.
GREAT INTEREST.
Interest in the great naval prepara-
tons, however, continue to absorb the
public mind. A report which has been
circulated to the effect that the gov
eminent intends to mobilize the volun-
teer forces is denied tonight; but it is
certain that appeals from the war Of
fee have recently been sent by cir
cular to the commanders of all the
volunteer regiments asking them to re-
teers that could be modified, and to
state the arrangements that would
be necessary for doing so.
At Woolwfch, below London, on the
Thames, the great arsenal, covering
one hundred acres of ground, is re-
ceiving constant additions to it's great
store of naval material and the ac-
tivity in all departments there is I'M
abated. The torpedo factory is in
creasing it's output and the men in
that department are worked many
hours overtime. The torpedOeS, as
fast as they are manufactured, are

of England, with fortified harbor

One feature of the war scare which

it has done to German trade. German

sons Debutantes and Popu-
lar Belle.

The engagement of Walter Scott Hobart
and Miss Hannah Williams was an
nounced on Friday evening at a dinner
given in honor of the happy young couple
at the Hobart residence on Van Ness
avenue.
For some time past gossip has linked the
names of the young couple, but so care
fully was their secret guarded that the an
nonncement was a complete surprise to
the company assembled to do them bonor.
Walter Hobart is so well known in this
City that the engagement is sure to ere
ate a wide spread interest. He is the
possessor of a large fortune inherited from
his father and spends the greater part of
his time in the management of the i'm
mense estate left him.
He is extremely popular in social circles
and enjoys the reputation OF being one OF
the foremost horsemen in this country.
Miss Williams is the daughter of Major
Williams of San Rafael and a niece of
Brigadier-General Forsyth, who is in com
mand of the Department of California.
She has been passing the winter with Gen.
eral FORSYTH at the Richelieu, and has
been one of the most popular bellies of the
past season.
Her debut was made last season, and no
entertainment has been counted a success
without her presence.
Miss Williams is attractive in appearance
and has q charm of manner that has
endeared her to large circle of friends.
The engagement of Mr.. Hobart and Miss
Williams will probably not be long one.
Their wedding will likely, be celebrated
late IN the spring.

in His Repertoire.
Professor G.. Sauvlet, the local pian-
ist and composer. has recently written his
third ''Gavotte de Concert" and dedicated
it to Paderewski. On the afternoon of the
18th inst, Sauvlet was entertained by the
great pianist at the Palace Hotel, at which
time he took occasion to play the compost
ton. which was pronounced work of
merit.
Paderewski at once assured Mr.. Sauvlet
that he would add the gavotte TO his
repertoire, and would surely have given
the composer the honor OF hearing his
work played here in public but for the fact
that his entire programme was COM
pleted.
Mr.. Sauvlet is one of Paderewski's
warmest admirers, and speaks of his great
abilities in words of the highest praise.
Among the celebrities he has heard in
their palmv days are included listz, Ru-
binstein, Hans Won Bulow, Bauer and
:Pachmann, but he maintains that none
of these possessed even to q moderate de-
gree the gifts of genius found in this later
day marvel.
