NO BARBER FOR THEM.
COreans Threaten Rebellion Because Their
Queues Are Ordered Shorn.

Coreans Threaten Rebellion Because Their
Queues Are Ordered Shorn.
YOKOHAMA, Feb. s.-Of the many
changes introduced in quick succession
in Corea, the recent adoption of the
Western method of hair dressing hes
attracted most attention. The king
recently issued a proclamation urging
the sacrifice of the queues, and set the
example by having his own hair cut,
the prince royal following suit.
The proclamation created conster-
nation in both official and private cir
cles- The minister of education re-
signed and retired to his country home
when his protests at the innovation
were dis~egarded. Many lesser gov
eminent officials also resigned
rather than sacrifice their locks.
The proclamation excited alarm
among the people at large, but at
each of the four gates of the
capital constables are posted to await
the coming of country people and to
compel them to submit to the BARRIERS,
who are in waiting to cut their hair.
Western hats and coats are generally
adopted by those who lose their
queues.
In the rural district the Coreans
have broken out into actual rebellion
at the proclamation. Many local gov
errors have resigned their posts, owing
to their unwillingness to cut off their
queues. Several hundred people have
fed to the mountains and as many
more are under arms, preparing to
attack the Corean troops.

tributing them among the several

The commissions conclusions are
that all locks in the canal should have
width of eighty feet, as United
States steamers like the Iowa have a
beam of seventy-two feet, that all
streams affecting the canal route
should be guaged to ascertain degi-
men and rainfall observations made at
points along the entire route. The
construction of the eastern division on
the line proposed by the company is
held to be feasible. but in view of the
risks involved in the maintenance CT
the numerous dams and embankments
the final route is inexpedient until all
alternative routes have been investi-
gated.
The climate of Nicaragua is mild,
equable and humid, and the value of
labor cheap, but the opening of earth
excavations may be expected to de-
velop malarial diseases. The volcanic
and seismatic forces are declining,
and will not impern the stability of
the canal.
For obtaining the necessary data
for final project, eighteen months
time, covering two dry seasons, and
an expenditure of $3.50, 900 will be re-
quired.
