PRINCE HERE TO LEARN.
Son of Emperor of Korea Comes te
study Our Institutions.

Washington. Sept. 9.-His royal high
ness Prince Wi-IIwa. the second son of
the emperor of Korea, has arrived in
Washington with a distinguished suit.
He is but % years of age, but has played
an important part in the history of his
native country. According to diplomats
here his father intends soon to proclaim
him heir apparent He comes to the
United States as Il graduate of the Japa-
nCSe Military school and will study
American economies and commercial
methods and attempt to solve in the in
tcrest of his people the fundamentals of
American civilization.
Concerning himself Prince Wi-Hwa
said TO IL correspondent: "Aly coming to
the United States at this time has no
bearing upon any of the diplomatic or po-
litical problems which now excite the ORR
ent. The fact that was to come to the
United States was determined by my fa-
thcr as far back as 1898.
q am here to study and will take no
part in the diplomatic business 1t is not
my intention to enter any special school.
My idea now is to engage private tutors
who will explain to me carefully the ele-
ments of the various economic resources
which have made the American republic
so great in the world.
81 will pay especial attention to the
form and origin of the American govern
meent in order that may be able to ap-
ply nationally any good features adapta-
Bile to the needs of my own people"
Prince Wi-Hwa was born at his ia
theirs court i'm 1875. The name of his
father, the present emperor, is Li-Houi.
who is the twenty-eighth monarch of the
dynasty of Han. His mother was the
famous queen of the noble Korean family
of Min who was assassinated in the riots
and outbreak of 1895. He is the second
son. His older brother, Iii Tohok, is the
heir apparent and should succeed to the
Korean throne. But the Korean mon
arch is openly partial to his second son
and can proclaim him heir if he so de-
sires.
Prince Hi-Hwa is of medium height, of
slight but athletic build. He is well
"sct up from military point of view
and has graceful carriage. His com
plexion is the soft olive of his native
land. but strongly oriental. He wears a
short, black, sodicrly mustache. His
coming to the United States is not strict
circles as ''incognito," but his visit has
not been officially called to the attention
of the president, and therefore it is not
expected that he should receive the usual
honors due to a prince of royal blood.
Prince Hi-Hwa has heretofore visited
the capitals of st. Petersburg and Paris.
He speaks French fluently and is ac-
quiring quite an English vocabulary.

"The diplomatic situation in Peking is
becoming complicated and a majority of

proposition to their home governments.
The purpose of the force is not clearly

superiority of Our Coal.

London, Sept 9.-The South Metro
politan Gas company has made prelim-
mary test with 3,T00 tons of Pennsylva-
MIA coal, which has shown that this coal
is superior to the British article in the
amount of gas it yields per ton in illumi-
mating power and in the quantity of coke.
While at its present price it is dearer
than English coal, the test shows chat its
superior quality more than compensates
for the difference in cost. If full test
gives the same result and the high price
of British coal continues, it is probable
that the company will buy largely in

II is understood that under the general

ducting this metropolitan agitation have
included all crippIes who endeavor to
make capital OF their infrmities. The
