According to the Oriental papers. Rus

fairs of Korea. Her latest achievement
was to order Korea to dismiss Mr.. Brown.
her English superintendent general of
finance and customs, and to install in his
place kuril Alexietf. The Korean govern
ment demurred at first, stating that its
contract with Mr.. Brown had several
wears to run. The Russian ambassador
brusquely replied that korea's contracts
with the citizens of other nations was no
concern of his, and followed up his de-
mand with an ultimatum. The Korean
government yielded and placed Alexieff in
charge of the financial and customs sys-
TENS for an indefinite period.
The minister of foreign affairs is report
ed to have proposed the dismissal Of all
foreign employees in the Korean service
save those of Russian nativity.

TO FORTlFY kIAO CHAU,
Germany Will Have FOrty-nve Hum
dred Men.

Berlin, Dec. 6.-While the German re-
Inducements, consisting of four COM
panies Of marines, numbering % officers
and 1900 men, and company of naval
artillery, arrive at Kiao Chau bay, for
which point, as already cabled, they have
set out, they will bring the total German
force there up to 4566 men, the largest
body Germany has ever sent beyond Eu-
ropean waters. 1t is understood that the
reserves had to be drawn upon.
The admiral denies that other Euro
pean squadrons have entered the harbor
at kiao Chau to watch Germany's pro-
ceedings, and it is believed that Admiral
Won Diedrich would protest vigorously
against such an attempt.
The kolnische Zeitung regards the ex.
petition as having two-fold aim. First,
to obtain missionary reparation. and, Sec
ond, to obtain the concession of Kiao
Chau as payment for past services rem
dered by Germany in connection with
the conclusion Of peace between Japan
and China.

San Francisco, Dec. John W. Sims,

DINA authorities have been searching all

saloon by shooting himself through the
head with revolver. He had gone into
the saloon short time before, had pur-
chased glass Of beer with his last nickel,
and repairing to the end of the saloon,
ended his existence before the bystanders
could interfere. His suicide had been
carefully planned. This was evident from
a long statement in his docket, addressed
to the editor Of n morning paper. In it
he stated that after shooting had at
Caldwell. n. c., in June, 1895, he had
gone home and killed his wife. although
he had no reason for so doing. He desired

MAY HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
Montana Representative who Made
Senna ttOnal Statements.


Helena, Mont, Dec. Judge McIn-
tyre, in the district court. has decided
the demurrer entered by Representative
Fred Whiteside. As a member of the in
vestigating committee of the legislature
he made statements in minority report
charging Cole with duplicity and crooked
work in connection with the building of
the capitol. He gave copy of the report
for publication in advance of its reading
in the house, and also, after the legisla-
ture adjourned without adopting his re-
port, reiterated his statements in letter
to the Independent.
He pleaded in demurral to the com
plant of Cole that he had been informed
by reputable persons that the charges he
made were true, and believed them to be
true, and believed it to be his duty to
publish them, as member Of tho lcgis-
lature in the interest Of the people.
To the second complaint he pleaded
privilege in publishing the letter as he
did.
Judge Mcintyre holds that the demur-
rcr in the first cause is based upon plea
that is only good in mitigation of dam
ages, and does not constitute n defense
except therefor, and the plea Of privilege
il overruled in toto. The decision leaves
the issue Of damage for q jury. and under
it DR.. Cole may obtain some damages on
both counts.

Washington, Dec. 6. - President Nc
kinley, accompanied by Assistant Secre
tary Day, has arrived in Washington
from the bedside of his mother. who is
dying at Canton, Ohio, suffering from par
alysis.
He was met by Secretary Alger, Secre-
tary Bliss and Private Secretary Porter,
and drove to the White house. The pres
ident has received two kilograms ell
route from Canton to Washington re-
porting the condition of his mother at
Canton, but he was anxious for later
news, so Secretary Porter stopped at the
telegraph office on the way home from
the station to inquire for any dispatches
that might be waiting. There was none,
however, SO the party proceeded to the
White house, where breakfast was had.
In the middle of the forenoon a message
Canton saying that the presidents moth
er was renting in about the same condi-
ton as when he left, sleeping and UNI
conscious. She might last through the
day, or even one or two days longer, but
was liable to die at any moment.
Arrangements have been made for the
return trip to Canton this evening. The
president, Mrs. Mckinley and a party of
half dozen close friends and relatives
will leave Washington at 1920 o'clock by
special car attached to the regular Penn
sylvania train and arriving in Canton at
10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
