MISS Kinds
Writes to John White Trimbls about
Electric Railway
In Seoul and The Superstition OF
The People.
A GREAT MOB IN KOREA
SEOUL, KoKEA, ASIA,
June 4, 1899.

June A, 1899.
DEAR WHITE: Your letter of March
", was received some days ago. We
have been having exciting times here
of late, because of an electric railway
that has been completed in Seoul. 1t
runs from the home of the Governor
OF Seoul outside the West Gate,
through the heart of the city, out the
East Gate and then to the grave Of
the Empress. 1t sSabout six miles
long. A Korean company was organ
lied last year to have the road made
and the contract was given to Messrs.
Cochran and Bostwick, of San Fran
cisco, Cal. There were seven cars.
One is most royalty furnished, and is
the Emperor's special to take him out
to the tomb of his wife. 1t is a beau
tiful place, made so by the expendi-
ture of much money. The grave is a
large mound about ten feet high.
The graves here are not shaped as
they are in America, but are round.
1t is said that only one of the finger
nails and very small bone are in the
mound, as the body was cremated.
The grave is on hillside, and is de-
corated with much polished stone. A.
the foot OF the hill there is a large,
beautiful buiIding--besutiful to the
Koreans. 1t is the spirit house, IN
which her spirit is supposed to stay.
The grounds are guarded by soldiers
all the time. Before this place was
chosen for the grave by the geoman-
GERS, another had been decided upon
and much money had been spent on
it, when they said that it was not a
suitable place to bring prosperity, and

Kentucky's Campaign Attracts
Much Attention.

Probably no campaign in Kentucky

Kentucky has been the Mecca of nearly
all the political correspondents Of the
big dsi!ies of New York, Chicago and

Several com merclal tourists hailing from New York, St. Louis and Chicago, speak in commendation of them and the ousiness-like manner in which their books are kept and the excellent manner in which the business is conducted generally.

He captured two distilleries in Arkansas county and found some ugly things right under the Lose of the deputy col lector. To be deputy collector you must attend to Urcle Sam's business.

could have obtained one in August. 1924.
Another point in favor of Dreyfus ia
that no probationer could have believed
IN 1891 that he would so to the mareu-
verS."
The clerk read a circular dated May Is.
1884, announcing that the probationers
would not so to the maneuvers.
M. De Fond-Lamotte concluded nv d.
claring that if the prosecution would FOL-
low UP the pieces of evidence they would
be absolutely convinced that Drayfus did
not write the bordereau.
Ihls witness who is a fellow proba-
toner of Dreyfus, proved one of the,
strongest witnesses for the defense. ag
he brought out in support OF his con,
tention that Dreyfus could not have writ
ten the bordereau.
II, as at first asserted, the bordereah
was dated May" the witness argued.
'Dreyfus could not have written 4 am
going to the maneuvers,' because a cir
cular was Issued in May informing the
probationers that they would not go to
the maneuvers. While if the bordereau
was dated in April as now asserted.
Dreyfus could not have spoken of the
1irlnS manual. which was only printed at
the end of May"
Not one of the generals found a reply
to this argument, which looked like a
clincher, Gen. De BoisGeffre alone 6e-
claring that although it was true the
circular mentioned was sent to the pro,
bat1oners, they knew that they could,
nevertheless, go to the maneuvers If they
made special application
Gems. MERCER and Roget then went
on the stage and confronted NJ. De Fond
Lamotte and a heated discussion ensued.
Gen. Roget asked when the witness
lad altered his conviction in favor of
Dreyfus and NJ. De Fond-Lamotte re-
piled:
AT the time I was before the court Of
cessation [ expected proof of my COM
rsde's guilt and 1 was thunderstruck
when 1 found the date of the bordereau
had been changed"
The prisoner then rose to reply to Ger.
De Boisdeffres argument He declared
he had never asked for permission to
go to the maneuvers and recalled that
when Col. Du Patty dc Clam fixed the
date of the hordereau In August he.
Dreyfus, pointed out that he could not
have written that phrase, 7 am going
to the maneuvers'
Gen. Roget here interposcd that re-
quests to go to the maneuvers were usu-
ally made verbally. so IL could not be
proved whether Dreyfus had or had not
asked to go to the maneuyers. The gem
eral, however admitted that no inquiry
had ever been made on this important
point.
Gen. Roget vas greatly excited cur,
ing the scene, but NJ. De Fond Lamotte
did not finch He retorted quickly to all
the generals observations. The two men
glared at one another and once Gen.

such a bullying fashion that the audience
