A HUNTED MAN.
Prince Euiewha. of corea. Followed L
This Country by Hired Assassins.

New York. July ia-The Journal and
Advertiser says:
Prince Euiewha, heir apparent to the
crown OF Corea, IS said to be in danger
OF losing his life This young king
arrived in America several months ago,
ostensibly to complete his education in
an American college; in reality he came
to avoid hired assassins who have fol-
lowed him. Despite the fact that the
United States offers to. the prince a
refuge far more secure than his native
country. he Is constantly dodging men
who are hired by the Corean progressive
party. which is against the present dyn-
asty. to kill him The prince is believed
to be in Washington. The members of
his suite so armed to the teeth The
secret service officers and the police OF
San Francisco and Washington, and pos
sibly New York. although denied at
headquarters. have been instructed to
look out for his safety. The prince is a
son of the king by former union. The
queen was assassinated, the brother of
the young man has been killed, and 9TH
ers interested in the royal family of
Corea have gone to their last home on
account of this youth. A Japanese Sc
cret service officer. at present in New
York. who is perfectly familiar with the
affairs of Euiewha, tells the following
story of the troubles of the young MIN;
"The young prince" said this officer,
''is general favorite wherever he goes.
and while in this city at the Waldorf
he made many friends. But he has
marked popularity; he wears the look
of a haunted man Since his birth in
1855 assassins have tried to take his life.
The king, believing he would be safer
in the United States than in Corea, sent
him here, but he has been followed by
two men who have sworn to take his
life. and If he gets back TO Corea alive
It will be because Corean assassins have
lost their cunning.
These would-be assassins are believed
to be in San Francisco at present Both
ARE Coreans, although they pass them
selves as Japanese. One Of them IS

kindly expression of countenRnce. He

WOMEN ON ROCK PILE.


Kansas City, July 15.-The order Of the
police commissioners of Kansas City, Kan
sas. that women prisoners must work
ON the stone pile along with the men
has caused great commotion ar hes
not yet been put into effect Perhaps IL
may never be. The Current Event Club
an organization of women, has expressed
itself as immeasureably shocked and has
called an indignation meeting to p-o-es:
against the "threatened disgrace and
degradation of womanhood."
The members threaten that the en-
forcement of the order means the rehr-
ment of the police commissioners from
office at the first opportunity. and rs
women vote in Kansas municipal cleo
tions. the threat is not regarded as al
together an idle one any may have lis
desired effect Their pricipal objection
to the rock pile is that part OF the
order compels the women TO work with
out skirts and to wear overalls instead.
The police of this city stand By their
order and say the first women prisoners
whose fines are not paid win go on the
rock pile.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The Ha- waiiau annexation treaty formed the principal topic of consideration by the senate committee on foreign relations at its brief session yester- day, The treaty and accompanying papers were received and referred to a subcommittee consisting of Senators Davis, Foraker and Nor gan, with instructions to investi- gate the entire question aud report 10 the full committe The papers read included the protest made by Japan against annexation.
 Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has introduced d bill to regulate the an nexation of Hawaii to the United States.
 The committees on investigation will involve the study of all Hawaii's U eaties with other countries. This inquiry necessarily will require con siderable time, and no effort will be made by the full committee to take the subject up until the sub-com- mittee shall be able to report on all details.
 The realizatiou Of this fact has led tbe members of tine committe to conclude that it is impossible for the committee as a whole to be able to pass upon the subject during the present session. The complexion of Inc committee is believed to be in favor Of ratification and 3 against il.
