Tacoma, Wash. April 16-Japanese
advices by the steamer Genogle state
that the cabinet crisis in Seoul ac-
centuated by the transportation of two
ministers for terms of ten and fifteen
years respectively was evidently a re-
action against the abnormal tranquility
which had prevailed in that curious
city since last autumn. when the In
dependence club and the Pedlars had
such a lively time.
1t is said the emperor's favorite fe-
male attendant. Mademoiselle ON, is
the chief source Of disturbance now
adays She has begun to think it time
that she was settled in life, and many
people endorse her view, for with
sovereign and court alike her power
is great enough 10 make her favor
worth propitiating.
Russia. as a matter of course, gets
the credit Of being mixed up in this new
complication. She is said to have com
pletely enlisted Mademoiselle ON $
sympathy. Thus when the Seoul
cabinet opposed the demands Of the St
Petersburg government in connection
with whaling privileges for Russian
subjects, Mademoiselle Om's interVen-
ton was solicited and the ministers
speedily found themselves without
portfolios. Nobody attaches much i'm
Dortance TO the incident, but is certain
ly shows that the influence of Russia is
again in the ascendent.

"BEN RUR" TO BE DRAMATIZED.
Lew Wallace's Romance to Be Put
On Stage.

Charlottesville. Ind, April 16.-"Ben
Hur" is to be dramatized with the con-
sent of General Lew Wallace. The au-
thor made this statement here tonight,
with the accompanying assertion that
the religious features of the famous
book will be carefully safeguarded
when it is rendered on the stage.
General Wallace has given his con-
sent only after great pressure. Ever
since the publication of Ben Hur'' he
has been gesieged by applications from
actors ara managers to permit it's dra-
matiZaton. Lawrence Barrett, the
young Salvini and the Kiralfvs are
among those who have thus petitioned
him, hut hitherto he has feared the
book could not be adapted to the stage
and its religious features protected. He
is now satisfied this can and will be
done.

NO ANGLO-AMERICAN ALLIANCE.
German Citizens to Meet In Chicago
to Protest

Chicago, April 16.-German-Ameri-
cans of Chicago meet tomorrow night
to formulate plans for the oyganiza-
ton of an association, national in
character, and having as its object,
opposition TO an Anglo-American alli-
ance. Ex-Congressman William Voicke
said today:
The meeting Will be one Of the most
remarkable gatherings ever assembled
in Chicago. Every German-American
organization, no matter what its ma
ture viii be represented by one or
mere able men. We are going 10 form
a great and powerful association to de-
feat the ends of those anglomaniacs
who are shrieking for an offensive and
defensive alliance between the United
States and Great Britain.
We Who have German blood in our
veins are aggrieved at the efforts be-
ing made to antagonize the United
States and Germany. The two coun-
tries should have the best of feeling,
the one for the other. But there need
never be a formal alliance between
them. The United States are strong
enough to take care of themselves

WANT BRIBER'S NAME.
Standard Oil Company Issues Chal-
lenge to Attorney Monnett.


Cleveland, O., April 16-Virgil P. Kline.
one of the counsel for the Standard Oil
company said today, referring to the
statements of Attorney General Monnett
filed with the supreme court:
Mr.. Monnett is simply trying to kick
up a dust to cover his retreat. Four
weeks ago Mr.. Elliott and /. in IA letter
which was handed to the attorney gener-
al, demanded that he give the name of
the man who he hippanuy said had re-
peatedly made him an offer of $4,000.
After this lapse of time he files IA rambling
statement calling il an information in
contempt, and in which he pretends that
he requires some order or process of the
court TO assist him in complying with cur
request. This is puerile. He does not
need the aid of the court to enable him to
give the name of his friend, and he knows
perfectly well that the supreme court will
not enter upon a wild goose chase.
IN his statement filed yesterday he
does not say his friend offered him a
bride. though he had distinctly charged
that heretofore. He knew, perfectly well.
whoeer his friend was, and whatever may
have transpired between them. that he
was not being offered bride and that
his friend had no authority to speak for
the Standard Oil company"
