TRYING 70 SAVE HIS HEAD KOREA IS PROGRESSIVE
SEOUL HAS ELECTRIC STREET
RAILWAYS.
Public Officers and Leading Citizens
the Stockholders-Am the
Promoters.

Talk of Hawaii being in the van of
progress, it is not in it with Corea. Ac-
cording to the United States Consular
Reports a company has been formed
in the city of Seoul for lighting the
streets and residences with electricity
and for operating electric street rail-
roads through the principal thorough
fares. Only the latter will be begun
at once.
The company, known as the Seoul
Electric Company. is composed entire
ly of Koreans, with the governor of
the city as president. They have an
exclusive franchise from the Depart
ment of Public Works, Agricultural
and Commerce. and have paid in about
one-half of the capital of 100000.
The company has made contract
with H. Collbran, of Denver, the
American contractor, for the con-
struction of the Seoul-Chemulpo rail-
road, and for the construction and
equipment of an electric trolley street
railroad of the latest and most inn
proved design. The railroad will be
about six miles in length. and will
run from the station of the Seoul
Chemulpo railroad, through the south
gate of the city, along the broad
streets. past the new palace and for
eign quarter. through the busiest por-
ton of the city and the great east
gate. to the tomb of the Empress.
Mr.. Collbran has received a cash
payment of 100000 with his contract,
and the work will be rapidly prose-
cuted.
1t is regarded as a profitable enter
prise. since, with city of 100000 peo-
| pie and no amusements, there will
/ probably be enough passenger traffic
from curiosity seekers to make it pay
for year or so. while the people are
being educated to the point of regar-
| ding the road as n necessity.
At present, all the financial vent
ures of Importance in Korea are in
! the hands of Americans.

DR.. PEASE' 5 HARD TASK.
TRANSMITTING THE BIBLE INTO
SOUTH SEA TONGUE.
Comes Here to Consult With a Mar
shall Island Native Preacher Con-
corning His Work.

DR.. c. NJ. Pease, for twenty years a
missionary in the Marshal Islands.
and translator of the New Testament
into the Marshal Island language, is
an interesting visitor in the city. He
came down yesterday on the barlIen-
tine S. n. Castle from the Coast, where
he now resides, and has taken up his
quarters on the Morning Star where
he Will probably remain until she is
ready again for sea.
During the past two years DR.. Pease
has been devoting his entire attention
to translating. He has a pretty horne
in Southern California, where he re-
mains most of the time. Within the
past twelve months he has completed
translation of the Psalms into the
Marshal Island language, and ne
has come down at this time to meet
Rev. Lanien, native preacher from
the Islands, and with him go over
and revise the work This accomplish
ed it is proposed to issue a new edi-
ton of the New Testament. together
with the Psalms. bound in one vol
ume There have been two previous
editions of the New Testament. the
first in 1885. and the second. revised,
a few years later.
DR.. Pease. on his return home. will
go to work in earnest upon the ord
Testament, which is quite difficult,
| and hopes in few years TO have the
whole Bible translated into the Mar
shall Island language. Already the
missionaries have been working forty
years on it. DR.. Pease went to the
Islands as missionary in 1877. At
that time the language of the natives
had been reduced to written Ian
guage. and a few fragments of scrip
ture had been translated into it. Since
| then great progress has been made
| through the schools and churches. II
was largely through the labors of DR.
Pease that the New Testament was
translated, and so successful has he
been, that he is now devoting his en-
tire time to it.
Rev. Lanien, the native preacher
who will work with DR.. Pease, was
educated in the mission schools. He
is an excellent student of the Ian
guage and can help the doctor very
materially 44~

QUEEN LII INTERESTED.
Deposed Monarch Hopes for Restora-
ton in Case of War.

Probably no one is more interested
in the outcome of the matters which
are now pending between this coun>
try and Spain than eN-Queen Liliuo'
kalani of the Hawaiian Islands, say
Washington Star of recent date. Will
ling to catch at any straw, this de-
posed monarch hopes that if war is
declared, by some hook or crook, she
may be able to regain her throne. If
not that, the hope is put forward that
at least the annexation of the Islands
will be deferred until next year or to
succeeding years.
1t has been stated that in case of
war with Spain, one of the first moves
of the government, unless too greatly
hampered, would be to send ship to
Hawaii and have the United States
flag raised over that country. This
would be deemed eXpedient, as a mat
ter of precaution from attack from
such source, with a coaling station
there.
One of the strongest pleas for an
neXation has been that Hawaii would
furnish station for ships, which
would be valuable in just such a case
as may occur between this country
and Spain.

MAY RETIRE THE FLEET.
Angl0.American Joint Commission Dis
c,lsses the Sealing Question.

Anglo-American Joint Commission Dis
c,lsses the Sealing Question.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The Boring
sea question was the main topic before
the Anglo-American commission when
it resumed it's sessions after several
days recess. For the first time the two
sides were prepared to exchange their
estimates on the value Of the Canadian
sealing fleet, the purpose being to III.
rive at some fair valuation and retire
the fleet by purchase. The initial steps
in this direction were taken while the
commissions were at Quebec, since
which time Captain H. T. Taylor, on
behalf of the Canadians, and Captain
Thayer, on behalf of the Americans,
have been making appraisals of the
fleet. The two appraisers have made
their reports to the respective sides and
these reports in turn were examined
by the commissioners with view to d
common ground of agreement. 1t is I'M
derstood that both appraisals are consid-
erably below what was expected, and
that instead of running into millions
they do not much exceed a half million.
Under such circumstances strong hopes
are expressed by members of the COM
mission that sum may be agreed upon
for the buying out of this industry and
the final settlement of this long.pending
and vexatious controversy.

ST. RAUL, Nov. s3.-The storm of

years. The fall of snow was less than a

senger trains made better time, compar-

had to take sidings and frequently these
were so blocked with snow that it was
almost impossible to switch them.
