BY COURTESY OF AMERICANS.
Party of Wounded Russians Owe Their Ultimate Safety to an
 American Mining Company

Washington, Oct. 1s.-Mr. Horace Allen, the United States minister to Corea, has informed the state depart ment of an act of courtesy on the part of the American Mining Co. which operates the mines in the Un- san district of northern Corea. At the requests of the Russian charge d'af- faires at Seoul, the company placed its steam launch Helen at the dis posal of a party of wounded Russians to convey them from point near the northern border of Corea to the port of Chinampo. These refugees were a portion of the force of the Russian railway company in Manchuria, and had fought their way from the neighborhood of Mukden to the Corean frontier, persistently attack ed the while by Chinese regular troops and Boxers. So fierce were these assaults that they were forced to leave the killed and badly wound ed of their party behind. The cour- tesy of the American company was much appreciated by the Russian charge. A similar tender of services was made to Japan and the other al lied powers.

 ARE BUT TWENTY-NINE,
Discovery of Clerical Error Re- moves Elias Howe's Name From
 the Hal. of Fame List

New York, Oct. 1S.-.Ghancellor Me Cracken, of the University of New York, requests that the following be published:
 By reason of a clerical error (the misreading of a single figure), in our canvass of the reports of the 100 cleo tors of the Hall of Fame. B votes were credited to Elias Howe instead of 47. Seventeen chief justices were recorded as supporting him when the number was eleven. Failing, there fore to receive 51 votes, his name is not included among those to be in- scribed this present year. This re- duces the roll of names to % and leaves 2l vacant panels to be filled two years hence, in 1902. The official count will be published in a few weeks in the book of the Hall of Fame. In a few instances the figures may vary slightly from those pub lished in the public prints, but the roll of 29 names is now assured.

MINISTER wU SEES PRESIDENT.
He Scouts the Idea of the Punish ment Decree Being a Forgery.

Washington, Oct. IS.-Minister Wu called upon the president. Upon leav- ing the White House the minister said that he had conveyed to the presi- dent a message from the emperor of China thanking President Mckinley for the consideration shown by the United States during the Chinese trouble. The minister also brought a dispatch from Shanghai from the southern viceroys. stating that the imperial party had reached Tung Kuan, only a few miles from SinaD Flu, the new capital, on the 14th inst.
 Referring to the report from Pekin that the edict for the punishment of certain Chinese officials had been forged, Minister Wu said such story was preposterous, and should receive no credence whatever. If anyone should issue a false decree of that character it would be very easy, he said, to ascertain his identity, and he certainly would be beheaded.
