TACOMA, Wash, July 5.-Late
oriental advices state that twenty
OF rioters who destroyed
and burned the electric tramway cars
at Seoul last month were executed in
public at Korea's capital four weeks
ago. They met their fate bravely.
Their heads were cut off and exhibited
in public places as Z warning to all

summary action would also have an
important influence npon the leaders
of the Korean rebellion, which was
assuming large proportions. Al last
accounts the insurgents were march-

Some Of the Great Features Of the First
Greater America Exposition.
the SUPERB ELECTRICAL DISPLAY
From July to November the City OF
Omaha win Welcome Visitors to :
Magnificent Exhibition. a.s

Since the institution of the first
primitive fair for the exchange OF
wares among ancient tradesmen. It
has been grander and nOre interesting
than its immediate predecessors. Tho
Greater America Exposition will be no
exception to this rule. In the variety
and novelty of its educational and
amusement features it will without
question surpass the exposition Of 1898.
Its exhibits are not only more numer-
Gus, but more novel and instructive
than were those Of year ago. The
amusement concessions, also more nu-
merous, present many novelties and
all are grander in design and proper
lions than those OF any former EXPOSE
ton. The illuminations and pyrotech-
nical displays will be upon scale of
magnificence heretofore not attempted,
and line of special features and days
is contemplated Of almost sensational
interest. 81
One Of the browning features OF
the exposition is the electrical illumi-
nation. The display Of last year was
conceded to be the most effective ever

the most interesting features Of the

To those who are interested in the
national question of imperialism the
villages of the native islanders will be
at once revelation and source Of
varied information. Whether the Fill
Pine is capable OF self-government or
whether it Is safe to offer his country
place in the sisterhood Of states are
questions best answered after a care
full study of the man himself. In the
native village he will live as in his
island homo. His dress, manners, Gus
toms, ceremonies and religious OBJ
servances will not be added to nor de-
tracted from, and the. daily occupation
by which he lives when at home will
be faithfully adhered to. AS he IL

President Broadens HIS Plan to Enlist
Volunteers. H. agt,-
WASHINGTON, July 7.-Plans for the
volunteer army have again been
broadened, and instead of 100000 men
General Otis is to be given nearer 50,-
900. President Mckinley has decided
to organize ten regiments of volnn-
unteers in the United States instead
of seven. These will Re in addition
to the recruits for the two or three
slseletonized regiments at Manila. In
other words, General Otis is to have
twelve or thirteen volunteer regiments.
When General Otis gets all the regu-
lars assigned to him he will have 3d.
600 of that class of troops. The two
forces will therefore approximate A.
900, exclusive of the hospital corps.
