General Dye is authority for the statement
that the present Minister from Corea to this
Government Ye Pom Chin. owes the signal
honors which have been recently conferred upon
him to his loyalty to the royal family. 1t was
he who secreted the Queen for several months
in a mountain retreat after bloody uprising
some fifteen years ago, and just before he came
to this country, refugee at the Russian
Legation, he was able to rescue the King and
the Crown Prince from the hands OF the
spirators. General Dye has also acquaint-
with Prince Min Yung Whang. a relative
OF the late Queen, who has recently been named
to succeed Ye Pom Chin as Minister to the
United States, and he regards him as man OF
much ability. Prince Min has also suffered by
the assassin's hand, his father having been
murdered in 1882 at the instigation, IT is said.
of the Kings father, who was the lifelong
enemy Of the Queen, and who has been accused
OF being the originator of all the outlawry that
has disgraced Corea in recent years. Fortu-
nately for the State, perhaps this arch-con-
spirator died last year.
Judge jeremiah Wilson, who succeeded the
late George w. Julian in Congress. and was a
lifelong friend of the famous Indiana recon-
structionist has many interesting things to say
of the man who with the exception OF the late
Oliver p. Morton. is the greatest son Of the

he attacked the Democratic party and the
friends Of slavery and the injury he inflicted
upon that institution were the means of making
him many enemies.
Mr. Julian cast his first vote in 1910 for
Harrison and Tyler, for the reason he said that
Van Buren, an aristocrat while Harrison
was a poor man who lived in a log cabin. His
political knowledge at that time limited,
and his associations carried him into the ranks
of the Whig party before he had investigated
the question of the day. In 1S44 he took the
stump for Clay and Frenghuysen, having in
the mean time made more complete study OF
the pertinent political questions. He believed
that the triumph of the Democratic party meant
the extension of slavery and war with Mex-
co and the idea influenced by the teachings OF
Charming Adams and Joshua r. Giddings, i'm

times from his former friends even. or the

FOR Congress Of the Free Soil party, Mr.. Julian

that rivalled the fish market. Words were
ro,tber minced or Modified. but made the We

was flung at me everywhere, and 1t is Impossible
