JaHAness Merchants Surprised BY the
King of Corea.
Japanese merchants Of Chemulpo, In
the kingdom of Corea, were very much
surprised recently when the king or
dered 10000 bottles of beer in one lot,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. The,
entire Japanese colony was not pre-
pared for such sudden and extensive
order of beer and they put their heads
together, wondering whether 1t was
the court or the body guard of the king
which had suddenly developed such
gigantic thirst. A cable was imme-
ddately dispatched to Japan and the
beer ordered to be shipped art once, SO
that it might be delivered TO the royal
master of the house in due time Tho
beer arrived promptly, and at the same
time the explanation Of the conundrl1r
was given to the Japanese, for almost
on the same day Russian man-of-war
arrived there and the entire crew was
invited to be guests of the king Of
Corea, who thus showed his gratitude
to the Russians for the shelter accord
ed him at the Russian embassy during
the recent revolutionary disturbances.
The 300 marines on board were very
agreeably surprised when his royal
highness sent 10000 BOTTLES of good
Japanese beer on board-that is, 100
BOTTLES per man-enough liquor to
thoroughly celebrate the Russo orean
alliance
