A Corean Prison.

In an entertaining article upon Corea-the country which Russia GOV cts and which Japan must have-Rev. Robert E. Speer has this to say upon the prisons of that half-barbarous land: The gate was wide open and the courtyard was full of prisoners, and the surrounding buildings were old and tottering. Iaskedlthe chief, whom one of the two or three listless attend ants called for us, why the prisoners did not run away. "Oh,'' he replied, "they would be caught and beaten again and kept longer. Now they will get out soon." But as looked atthem I saw they did not run because they could not. The life was beaten out of them. The keepers brought the heavy red cord with brass hook at the end and trussed up man with it to show how the beating was done, and then brought us the stiff rods with which the victims were pounded over the shins and thighs until the beaten .spots were simply masses of fostering rottenness. There was room, black, foul and 1eprous, in which the men were fastenedin the stocks. The Black Hole of Calcutta was scarcely less mer- ciful than this.-Frank Leslie's Popu- lar Monthly.

LOST IN NEW YORK.
An Old Man Who Had Not Seen the
 City in Fifty Years.

New York, June 10.-Augustus Rath- bone, 7S years old, of San Jose, Cal, who is staying now in Brooklyn hotel, arrived here Wednesday afternoon with $25 and check for $500. He had not been in New York for nearly fifty years. The city had changed so much since his last visit that he became com pletely bewildered and got lost .a He lost his money also and detective was assigned to the hunt for the old nanss cash and check. The detective found the first hotel MT Rathbone went to, but it was a long time before he found the, second. At last he got the right trail. 1t led to the Atlantic hotel in Brooklyn. The proprietor, Augustus Strauss, immediately recognized Rath- bone as man who registered there last Wednesday and left his baggage and valuables and disappeared next day. Strauss gave Rathbone's belongings to the detective. Rathbone is native of Providence, R. I. In 1852 he left there to go west, where he made his fortune. He is widower. his ifeshaying died. last August. The old man is. on a tour of the world and came this way to ob- tain another glimpse of New York and to visit his old home in Providence.

TO END THE WAR.
Sensational Caused by Printed Report
 From The Hague.

7
 Berlin, June 1O-The Kleines Journ- s al to-day prints a dispatch from the Hague saying that Queen Wilhelminas s recent visit here was meant to obtain Emperor Williams consent to end the South African war, both the Zweibund and the Dreibund being willing to do so, through the Hague arbitration court and that the emperor consented and the court began work thereon The dispatch has created sensation here.
 The Associated Press has obtained the following foreign office statement, which is authorized by Count Non Buelow, the imperial chancellor:
 Neither Great Britain, France nor Russia ever approached Germany to participate in any action aiming ar ending the South African war. Ger many has all along distinguished be- tween dfferii1g yher good foffides and ial- terventiOn. To srenderF her good, off fees would be possible under certain circumstances, viz: If both parties to the war request it; but it will be re membered that Great Britain only Joined The Hague peace conference on cluded.
