C. P. GREATHOUSE DEAD
FOR MANY YEARS THE POWER Re-
HIND THE KOREAN THRONE.
Former American Consul General mt
= Yokohama Who Became a Kings
Adyiser-Death of f. f. Settle.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 16.-The steamer
Empress of China brings the news that
c. p. Greenhouse, who was consul general
of the United States to Yokohama, Japan,
from 1886 to 1889, died at Seoul Oct q. At
the time of his death Mr.. Greathouse was
adviser to the Korean government, posi-
ton he had held without interruption dur
ing his ten years residence in Korea. The
Emperor of Korea paid all funeral expenses,
and ordered an escort of two hundred sol
dierS to attend the obsequies. Mr.. Great
house was the author of a book on Korean
folklore
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 16.-Clarence p.
Greathouse, whose death is announced in
to-day's Orientar advices, was a Kentuck-
ian by birth and lived in Versailles up to
the time of his appointment consul gen.
eral at Yokohama, during President Cleve-
lands first administration. Greenhouses
relatives have yet no news Of his death
further than that conveyed to them by to-
days dispatches. They did not credit the
report of Greenhouses critical illness pub
lished in the newspapers three weeks ago.
because several times before dispatches
from San Francisco have reported the death
of Greenhouse or his mother, who. a few
days later, would cable that they were in
good health.
During his service as consul general at
Yokohama Mr.. Greathouse had so greatly
assisted Mixing, the King of Korea, by
giving him helpful advice, that the King
urged him to accept the created office Of
"Ho-Pang," which would correspond in
civilized monarchies to the position of prime
minister. Mr.. Greathouse resigned his con-
sulate in 1890 to accept the office rendered
by the Korean King and went to Seoul to
live. His career in that country was one
Of constant excitement and many times his
head was in great jeopardy During the
violent disturbances in Korea in 1884, which
eliminated in the assassina ton of the
Queen in her chamber in the palace by a
mob. Mr.. Greathouse was appointed to in
vestigate the murder of the Queen, and, 1t
is said, caused the arrest Of several Of the
murderers, who were adjudged guilty and
beheaded. General Greenhouse, as he was
called by the King, was strong factor In
the development of Korea and the King is
said to have been in hearty sympathy with
the progressive views of his Yankee ally,
favoring the building of railroads, the de-
velopment Of the mines, the opening of the
ports TO foreign commerce and the teaching
Of English in the Korean schools.

Special Insurance Contracts.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov 16. - Judge
Wallace. of the Superior Court of this
county, has rendered decision affecting the
so-called special contracts of insurance
of which so much has been said recently.
The State Life Insurance Company. of In
dIanapols. brought suit against E. Mueller
on a past-due premium note. Mueller re-
sisted payment and filed cross complaint
in two paragraphs. In the first he charged
that the company had issued him a con-
tract known as the vice counselor's con-
tract, and that this contract is illegal and
void. In the second paragraph Mueller in
sisted that the recent Incorporation UNI
der the law of 1899 had changed the COM
pany TO an 'old line" company and that
this change was without his knowledge or
consent, and that he had the right to with
draw and recover the premiums he had
paid. The company filed a demurrer to
both paragraphs and the case was argued
before Judge Wallace some ten days or more
ago. After some days OF elaboration, the
court sustained the contention of the COM
pany as to both the special contract and
the effect of the reincorporation.
