QUEEN OF COREA ALIVE.
a Denial Of Her Assassination In the ROW,
Palace.

NEW York, Jan. IA dispatcb IN
the Herald from Shanghai says: .Thc
queen of Corca was not murdered in
her palace as reported. The fact is
known only to Il few persons, one be.
ing the king, and ali have the strong.
est reasons for cODccalment.
1T will be remembered that Now
ember 2s there was an attack on the
palace, by several Corcans BELONGING
to the queens party. Mr.. Watcher
the Russian charge d'aflairs. Drs. Al.
len N Underwood aud other Amerj.
cans were accused on apparently rood
grounds of being privv to the blot.
Ihey. however, denied all compile
IVY. The King being warned.
posted extra conSulS. The intent
was To seize the ministers. cxpcl
me Japanese. free the King from
thc lattcrs influence and restore the
queen, who was alive. The Russian
secretary oil legation was the leading
spirit IN the conspiracy and wa
ucputcd to conduct the Queen from
her place of hiding To the palace.
The failure Of the attempt necessi.
lated the keeping the secret of the
Queen being in existence. When. in
october. the CorcanS and .Janpuesc
broke INTO the palace. the Queen.
without speaking To her women hid
IN an outbuilding. She saw the bodies
or her ladies IN waiting dragged to the
pyrc prepared for them, outside. and
watched the completion of The traoedv
from her hiding place. The queen
was concealed for an hour and n half.
every moment expecting discovery.
she He'd at last through. Il secret mass
age to the old palace and thence. after
changing her dress, made her rscapc
outside the walls of the city, where
She reached u place Of safety.
when the japanese and Coreans cy.
amincd the charrcd bodies of the vo.
men who had been burned the kline and
oilers shrewdly feigncd that they had
discovered the identity of the queen
IN one of the victims. The ,laplncsc
accepted the account of the Gucen's
death as true. VI. Waebcr and Horn
hilbci. the German consul, must have
been privy to the secret.
Three CorcanS were Stranded last
week for the alleged murder of the
queen, and the trial of Niscount Muru.
and other japanese officials charged
with completely, is proceeding at
hiroshima. An American who came
here on the Russian cruiser Otvainv.
says Russia is using the supposed muir
der OF the queen a. Il Weapon against
the japanese, although well knowing
its falSity."

A STAND FOR MONROISM,
senate Foreign Relations Committee ia
yors " Declaration.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I3.-The Senate
committee on foreign relations was in
session two hours to day discussing
the Cuban, Armenian and Venezuelan
questions, with incidental reference
To the Monroe doctrine. There was q
full attendance of members. The
committee took positive action upon
one subject only. IL decided upon a
positive affirmation of the Monroe doc.
tr,nc by Congress, and "a subcommittee
was appointed to draft a resolution
declaring the sense of Congress on this
question.
The discussion on this point wa
conducted upon the basis Of Senator
Lodges resolution, which seemed to
meet the approval of "A majority OF the
members. The subcommittee is cN.
pectcd to report at the next full meet
ing OF the committee, or IL is possible
that The committee may be pollcd
without a formal meeting. The com
mlttee was almost unanimous In adj
vocacy of Il declaration on the Monroe
doctrine. Senator Gray alone is un-
dcrstood To have opposed n declaration.
Nearly all OF the opinions advanced
were that the Venezuelan affair had
served TO emphasize the wisdom of
this doctrine. and that the time was
ripe for an official declaration by the
law making power OF the land. The
Associated Press dispatches in
dicating England's purpose Of
dealing Independently with Venc-
iucla were commented upon, as
was also that part Of the Presidents
message leaving the door open"
hs committeeman expressed it, for
this line Of attack on England's part.
But 1t appeared to be the sense of the
committee that if England should sue
coed III patching up the matter with
this South American republic that cir.
cumstanccs should not be allowed to
stand in tho way of n general dcclara-
ton which would serve ut least ia fu.
turc emergencies.
Senators sherman, Lodge and Nor
gan were appointed to consider the
tub1n question and the discussion in
the committee indicated that what.
ever may be done, If anything is done.
Will be on the lines of the recognition
of the bclligcrcncy of tho insurgents.
IL was apparent that a very friendly
feeling towards the insurgents per.
vaded tho committee. but the inclipu.
ton appeared to be- against immediate
action.

The Japancse View,

NASTlNGroN. Jan. 1.-THE .Japan-
csc legation has received no advise,
concerning the report that the queen
of Corea said to have been murder ed
is alive. The affair. however. bas
bech shrouded in 81 much mystery
that officials here would not be sur.
priscd at any developments. In lSso
the same queen was reported killed
and the details Of her death were
given to the world but after a wear of
retirement her majesty returned to
the capital amid great rejoicing. The
recent reports Of her assassination
have been SO exact rs Ia on,c,,
authentic, although the officials
have viewed some of the circum-
stances with suspicion. 1t was
said that n Japanese shoshi. or rouoh
killed her, although it is well known
That the queen is never seen, even nv
the foreign representatives. IL has al
ways seemed ineXplicablc how one of
the shoshi secured access To her. The
Japanese government has proceeded.
however. on the theory that the orcen
was dead. Especial envoy was sent
To inquire into the circumstances of
~ "''' ~ " iV'uib lnc or
mer japanese min ,>ter TO Corca, the
military attachc and several of tn,
suite were recalled and placed under
arrest. They are now held at the
court prison ut hiroshima AWAITING
trial FOR alleged completely in the up-
rising.
The king of Corca has also acted on
the theory that the queen is dead.
immediately following her supposed
demise the king issued Il decree stat.
ing that the deceased queen, being a
designing woman. would he considered
to have occupied the position of
c%oncubine during her lifetime.
The purpose of the decree was
to prevent the succession of the
queens son To the position OF
crown prince. The kings decree
excited great Indignation among til,
foreign ministers stationed ut Seoul
and they protested against il a. an act
of immortality. The king accordingly
revoked the decree and issued AN order
restoring the queen To the full rank of
royal consort.' The original decree
degrading the queen is said to have
been insured by the Tai Won Ku,,
who was driven out OF Seoul.

lie does not take n hopeful view of
the financial situation. II cannot
see, he said, that there is much hone
for silver in the near future. The
senate, Of course, is for free coinage,
or something akin to it. but the lower
mouse Is a gold body by q large ma
Jority. or this fact there can be no
question, and while it Is to be regretted
thcre is no immediate remedy.
Besides this the third house of the
national lcgislaturc-thc President

Stanlpolnt thcy VIII not do AZ ell. Al,
of them arc VIGOROUSLY friendly to
gold, and with any one OF them i'm the
presidential chair we will he lust rs
badly OIL rs we are at present. The
Democrats are not likely to give n, u
better man. The leaders of the latter
party who make states and control
nominations are avowcdly unfavora-
bic to silver Legislation, and they will
probably see To it that II gold man is
placed at the head of the ticket"
"Thc silver states do not hone to
secure the nomination for President
of II man who will be friendly to free

Hardly. There was Il time when
we thought it barely possible that we
might at least secure IL candidate who
would not be u~nfriendly. but ascvcnts
are shaping themselves, this hope
seems TO be- disappearing. The ulti.

an independent movement of silver
