RUSSIA HAS STEPPED IN
Coup d'Etat on q an Extensive
Scale at Seoul, Corea.
RusslAs MARIN IS ON GUARD
Premier and PIO-Ja pauesc Statesmen
Beheaded and q New Govern
ment Formed.

San Francisco, March 5.-The steam
er China arrived today from Yokoha-
ma, bringing news Of another coup
d'etat on an extensive scale at Seoul,
Corea. On February 10 a detachment
of Russian marines, numbering 127,
arrived in Seoul from Jinsen. The Cor
can king and the crown prince went
into the Russian legation and formed
a new government, dismissing all the
former cabinet ministers. Premier Kim
Hong Tsuh and seven other cabinet
ministers, known as pro-Japanese
statesmen. were beheaded and their
corpses dragged around the streets. A
decree, said to have been signed by
the king at the Russian legation, order
ed that the heads of five of the muir
dered ministers be fixed on spikes and
exposed.
All telegraph wires from Seoul were
then cut and only me ager news of the
coup was obtainable. On receipt of the
news of these occurrences, American,
British and French men-of-war landed
detachments of marines who immedi-
ately left for Seoul. The king is said
to have been induced to his action
through a desire to avenge the murder
of the queen last October. All the
members of the new ministry are said
to be connected with the Min family,
of which the murdered queen was a
member.
The Toxic papers attribute the king
actions to the influence of the Russian
minister. The Russian embassy where
the king continues to reside Is guarded
by 200 Russian marines.

CHASTITY FIND IN A BARREL
Dead Bodies of a Gray Haired Man
and IA Newborn Babe.

Chicago, March S.--Carefully con-
cealed in a barrel and covered with a
mass of old rags and cotton, the dead
bodies of a gray-naIred man and new
born babe were found in an alley in
Hyde Park today. In consequence the
police are working ON what the consid-
er double murder. This afternoon the
office of Ralstons Hyde Park morgue
was rung up on the telephone and a wo-
man who declined TO give either her
name or address asked if the body Of
a man had been found in Hyde Park.
The Office attendant replied in the
negative and then questioned the wo-
man, but his best efforts failed to get
any information of a decided charac-
ter. She astonished the morgue at
tendant by saying that he would GER
tainly learn more about the case later
on.
Four hours later the barrel with it's
CHASTITY contents was discovered in
the rear of house at No. 4S2 Indiana
avenue. The description of the man
tailed In almost every respect with the
description furnished by the myster-
ious woman over the telephone. In the
barrel was the body of a boy not over

MUSICIANS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE
War May Be Carried Into the Nominal
Ing Conventions.

St. Louis, March cit Is not improb-
able that, as a result OF the war be-
tween the Theatrical Stage Employees
Union and the National League OF Mu-
sicians, the committee on arrangements
for the republican national convention
may arrive at the decision, "A plague
o. both your houses" and conclude that
the gathering can get through with its
oratory, its platform and It's president
and vice president making without the
accompaniment of Hail, Columbia"
Rally Round the Flag. Boys" THE
Star Spangled Banner" and the patri-
otto melodies with which previous gath
erings of the kind have been enliv-
ened.
The trouble between the two organiza-
lions is national in its character, and
the local branch of the theatrical stage
union has decided to make a proposition
to furnish the convention with an or
chestra of 100 pieces free of charge, with
the provision that no negotiations shall
be entered into between the national
league Of musicians. The latter or
ganization, it Is understood, will make
a similar proposition, and the fight for
supremacy will be waged even If the
lives of the members of the RESPONSE
bic committee are made burden. The
same tactics are TO be pursued with
the democratic convention in Chicago.
Previous experiences. however. have
indicated that the orchestra end of ma
tional political conventions is some
times very much of a nuisance, especial
ly when the electrical attachment be-
tween the chairman's desk and the band
gallery refuses to work. as was the
case at the republican convention in
Minneapolis four years ago, when on
one occasion 1t took 20 minutes for a
messenger to reach the gallery and
stem off the music that had been I'M
guardedly started at critical mo-
| ment and the local committee may
therefore be glad of the bitter war be-
| tween the rival labor unions, as an ex-
cuse to dispense with music altogether.

A NEW COLONIZATION SCHEME
Daughter OF Brigham Young Has a
Tract of Land in Mexico.

Kansas City, Mo-. March "a
scheme has been formulated for an ex-
tensive colonization of British and
American farmers and agricultural Ia
borers on several immense tracts OF
land near Vera Cruz, Mexico. and
which are owned by Miss Virginia
Young, a daughter of the late Brigham
Young by his first wife. Miss Young.
who has been visiting at Vera Cruz and
other points in Mexico for several
months, was in the city for a few days
last week en- route to England, where
she makes her home, and spoke guard
edly concerning her plans. She is a
woman of some SO years, but carries
her age well, and has a strong facial
resemblance TO her once-famous faith
er. The lands in question are part of
the estate which he willed to her at his
decease, and their estimated value runs
up into the millions. The present plans
contemplate their being worked on the
shares system, Miss Young furnishing
the funds for the transportation of the
colonists, who will number over one
thousand at the start, and also the
necessary means for thG purchase Of
agricultural machinery and the con-
struction of habitations. Malcolm Nc
Neil, her confidential manager. a
shrewd, canny Scotchman, who ac-
companied her as far as Albuquerque
on her return trip, will gravitate be-
tween this country and the sister re-
public for the next two months, max
ing preliminary plans for the carrying
out of the scheme. Miss Young is now
on her way home to England.

WRECK ON A NEW RAILROAD
Thirty-six Passengers Injured, Five
Perhaps Fatally.

st. Louis, March ga disastrous col
lission occurred this afternoon on the
newly completed Kirkwood railroad
which connects Kirkwood with this
city. It is a single track road. and the
cars pass one another on switches.
While one car heavily laden was
waiting for another to pass, the switch
became turned in some manner, throw
ing both together. Both cars were bad
ly smashed and SO passengers received
injuries more or less serious. Five Of
these are thought to have been fatally
hurt.
Four men were probably fatally in
jured, 20 badly hurt and between 20 and
80 others less seriously injured. The
fatally injured are:
]. A. Aiken.
A. NJ. Smith, motorman.
]. L. Jones, claim agent.
Richard Lonagen, insurance agent.
The Kirkwood electric railway has
just been completed, and crowds were
taking advantage OF its being Sunday
to patronize the line. Every car was
crowded. When the collision occurred,
passengers were thrown in a pile by the
contact, which was terrible. J. A. Ak
en-, the motorman Of the eastbound car
and Smith, motorman of the westbound
car, were taken out of the wreck with
many bones broken. 1t is thought they
will die. Among the passengers the
most badly injured was J. L. Jones
claim agent for the M. & T. railroad
and Richard Lonagen, an insurance
agent. Neither can live, 1t is thought.
They were all residents of st. Louis.
Twenty-Five passengers were taken
out. some with limbs broken and bodies
bruised, but it is thought that no one
will die as the result of the injuries re-
ceived. Between 20 and 80 others re-
ceived less serious injuries.
Help was sent from Kirkwood. Web.
ster Grove and st. Louis, and the injur.
ed were taken to hospitals, or to theil
homes in this city and surrounding
towns.

DEATH RATE is INCREASING
National Union Voting on Increasing
the Assessment of Members.

Toledo, Ohio, March 1.-THE scores of
thousands of members scattered
throughout the country of the secret
beneficial society known as the Ma
tionak Union, and which has its general
offices in this city, are voting by mail
this week upon proposition to in
crease the rates of each assessment
with view to a reduction in the num-
Der called. During the past two years
the large number of double assessments
in this order has created considerable
comment, and the senate, or supreme
body. has issued statement to the
members. upon which the ballot Is
asked.
1t Is admitted the advancing age of
the order Is causing a gradual increase
in the death rate, but figures are given
tending to show that in the aggregate
the rates of the organization are so
much less than those of other organiz-
atoms as to make it imperative that
a greater number of assessments be
called to produce an equivalent amount.
The senate admits, however. that I'M
favorable comparisons have been made,
based solely on the number of assess
ments without regard 10 the yearly
amount paid, and that unthinking men,
bers have thus been led to drop out
through a mistaken idea regarding the
total cost. The ballot being taken this
week is a elimination of a considera-
ton of the matter by the senate ex-
tending over two years. and the OUT
come will be of interest to beneficiary
assessment societies of all kinds, as
well as to the "old line" insurance ele-
ment.

WITHDREW A MILLION DOLLARS
Illinois Central Made a Raid on the
Sub-Treasury.

New York, March 6.-The Illinois
Central railroad withdrew 100000 in
gold from the sub-treasury today. The
gold was deposited in the company's
bank. Stuyvesant Fish, president of
the railroad, said the withdrawal had no
reference to government bond opera
lions and was not on that account. 1t
Is reported that the railroad company
had some gold loans to pay and that
an attempt was made to make them pay
a commission for the gold, payment in
gold being enforced Notwithstanding
the present conditions. The company
refused to pay commission and with
drew the gold from the sub-treasury.

RIOTS GO ON DAY AND NIGHT
Italian Populace Has Been Worked
Into a Frenzy.

Rome, March 6.-Rioting caused by
the anger of the people at the conduct
of the Abyssinian campaign was con-
tinued last night In nearly every large
city in Italy. although rain storm
cleared the streets of the capital. AT
Milan a mob marched through the prin-
cipal streets smashing windows right
and left, yelling excavations on Crlspi
and the ministers. The rioters went to
the railway station with the intention
of preventing the departure from Milan
of the army reserve of that city and
neighborhood belonging to the class of
1872, but the authorities kept the men
in the barracks and sent a regiment of
infantry to guard the railroad station.
These precautions only increased the
excitement Of the mob leaders and an
attempt was made to break into the
depot. Sharp encounters followed. The
soldiers and carbiriers were pelted
with stones and bayonets and swords
were used to drive back the crowds.
