RIDING TO DEATH IN RIVER
Bridge watohman Observes Two Children
on Floating Log in Midstrsam.
NOTIFIES POLICE, WHO START TO RESCUE
Omcers watch at Foot of Douglas
street for Floating Log with
Human Freight, but IL
Fails 20 Appear.

Two children who we're ~clinging desper-
ately to a log which was floating IN the mid
die Of the Missouri river we're probably
drowned yesterday morning between the
East Omaha bridge aud the Douglas street
bridge.
The children were first sighted coming
Hown the river about s15 O'Clock by the
Waterman at the East Omaha bridge. They
we're clinging to a log, one on each side,
and the log was whirling round and round
In the water. The log and its human freight
rame from UP the river and was seen as 1t
went under the bridge. The Waterman saw
Il come out below the bridge, but having no
means OF rescue at hand could do nothing
TO save the children. He saw the log caught
in a whirlpool and after being whlrled
around for a few seconds 1t shot down
stream at a terrific rate OF speed. He noti-
ned the yardmaster OF the Omaha Bridge
and Termina company and he in turn tele-
phoned the police station. 1t was thought
by that time that the children would be
passing the pumping station at the foot OF
Burt street.
Police Rush 20, Rescue.
Captain Hayes and several officers rushed
20 the Douglas street bridge and had the
officers of Henrietta. the excursion steamer,
lower several boats, in readiness TO rescue
the children. The officers kept a strict
watch for over an hour, but the log and
children failed to put in an appearance.
The news that a rescue would be at
tempted at the foot Of Douglas street
quickly spread and soon after the arrival
of the officers a hundred people had con-
gregated. At one time a log was sighted
at the bend Of the river, some distance
from the bridge, upon which were two large
knots. It was at first thought these were
the children. and a rush was made for the
boats. Before the men reached the log,
however, their mistake was discovered.
1t was then thought that the Waterman
had been mistaken. He was communicated
with and said there could not possibly have
been a mistake. He saw the children
almost in the middle Of the river and he
was on one end Of the bridge. Both chill
dren we're partially under water and were
holding onto the log, but 1t was impossible
for him to tell whether they were boys or
girls. 1t was the general impression that
they had foated down from some OF the
flooded districts up the river. At the
pumping station and at the city pound al
the foot Of Webster street the children
were not seen. 1t Is believed that they
were drowned Searching parties are Out
investigating. and it may be possible the
children were washed ashore or were
rescued somewhere below the East Oamhs
bridge.
1t transpires that the bridge watchmar

lieves them to have been tied to the drift
wood and is sure that they we're dead. HI
says that as the log rolled about the bodie;
made no motion and that they were In al

How Oriental People Wash.

European tourists in the east" said
a traveller "have before now remarked
on the various degrees of dirtiness
manifested by the oriental races. But
their dirtiness is not only to be differen-
tiated in degree, but also in kind. Your
only partially civilized man is clean In
spots. Civilization might be measured
by the size and number Of the spots I'M
til, in the perfect civilization, l sup
pose, 1t will be all clean spot. But diff
ferent races put the spots in different
places; Sc. observing this, there has
grown up saying among the Euro
peans in the east that the Chinese wash
their clothes, but not themselves; the
Japanese wash themselves. but not
their clothes, and the Koreans wash
neither. Were there nothing else to
Judge by. 1t might be pretty question
whether the Chinese or the japanese
are the more civilized" ~

and it's foreign residents, most of whom
are japanese, now number about 5000.
The Corean town of Fusan is apart from
the foreign settlement. 1t Is surrounded
by walls within which live about 5000
people. The port has a trade approximat-
ing S. 1000, 600 a year.. Seoul, the capital,
at the other end of the line, has a popula-
ton of about 800, 900, and it is the center
of all things Corean.
The Japanese are very anxious to control
the railways of Corea. They already own
the road which the Americans have built
from the port Of Chemulpo over the noun
tains to Seoul. That concession was first
granted to James r. Morse Of New York,
one Of the best known Americans in the
far east, and it's building was begun by the
American firm of Messrs. Collbran and
Bostwick. The road is twenty-five miles
long. 1t is of the standard American guage
and it's construction offered no great engi-
neering difficulties. The price agreed upon
was 81, 5OO.O 900 in gold, including the bridge
over the Han river, which was to cost $780,
900. Messrs. Collbran and Bostwick COM
pleted a large part CT the road. They or
dered all their materials from the United
States, including timber from Washington
and Oregon. They had the materials on
the ground when Morse sold out the whole
to a Japanese syndicate, which has finished
the construction and is now operating the
property. The rolling stock is American
and up-to-date, but the engines are little
yard engines instead of the camel-backs
used on our roads. The Japanese insisted
on small engines and they are laboring I'M
der great disadvantages on this account.
am told that the Coreans patronize the
cars. They are the LATEST mortals on the
face of the globe and the richer among
them think it beneath their dignity to walk.
A noble usually has two servants with him

them in and traded them to the merchants.
At that time the country was producing
about SO, 900, 900 worth Of gold a year from
its placer mines. The yield was even
greater when l visited Corea in 1894, just
before the war between China and Japan,
although no modern machinery had yet been
used.
General Greenhouse Of California was then
adviser to the king. He told me the noun
tains were full Of gold and Thomas w.
Power, the young American electrician who
put the lights into the kings palace, de-
scribed to me how the kings ministers once
brought him a box filled with gold dust and
nuggets in payment of a bill against the
king for electrical machinery. Mr.. Power
said that one of the nuggets was as big as
the palm of his hand and about an inch
thick. His bill was for SAT, 900 and the gold
realized more than that amount when he
sold 1t at the mint in Osaka, Japan.
So far the Americans are doing the only
mining Of much Importance. other con-

English and Germans are doing some work.
The success of the American company is
known throughout the far east. 1t has
brought numerous miners and capitalists to
Corea, who have so annoyed the govern
ment that for the time no further mining
concessions are being granted.
Japan's New COrean Trunk Line.
The work of the railroads, however, Is
still going on. The Japanese have sur
veyed a railroad from the capital, Seoul,

Fusan has an excellent harbor, only q

- Its gold regions are opening up,
its ccal deposits are being prospected and
railroads are planned to cover every part
Of the peninsula. At Shanghai l met Leigh
Hunt of Seattle, who, in connection with J.
Slcat Fassett of New York. has one of the
most valuable mining concessions of this
part of the world. He has the absolute
right to a country about as big as Rhode
Island some distance from the Corean
capital, which is rich In gold.
This territory has been worked for ages,
but in the crudest manner. The Coreans
had no machinery. They washed of the
top Of the placer mines, but were not able
to reach the bed rock. They did a little
quartz mining by chipping out the ore with
their soft iron tools. They would make
holes in the rock and 6l them with fuel.
This being ignited, made the rock red hot,
when they would pour In water, and thus
crack the surface, so that they could chip
1t off. Tho ore thus obtained they crushed
by rolling huge stones over 1t.
They had no pumps and could not go deep
on account of the water. The shafts were
emptied by bailing them out with gourds.
which were passed from man to man to
the surface. Wherever a stream or perma-
nent water was struck the shaft was aban-
doned.
How Americans Mine Gold I'm COrea.
Fassett and Hunt have introduced the
best of modern mining machinery. They
are now operating three mills, or In all
about eighty stamps, and they will soon
have another mill, which will give them
altogether 100 stamps. They expect to put
in an electric plant Of sufficient capacity to
operate all their mining machinery, and for
this water will furnish the power.
l understand that the property Is being
worked very cheaply and at a great profit
There are about sixty American and
European experts among the employees anC
about 1000 Coreans. The Coreans receive
25 cents a day and do not kick on lonl
hours. The concession gives the compan!
the standing trees on the land at 80 cent
gold per cord; this is said to be s~uficien
to timber the mines. Until lately all tn
hauling has been done with the bullocl
carts of the country, but American wagon
are now used and other kinds Of our ma
chinery will be imported.

saved the life of one of the royal family
when he was almost cut to pieces In a revo-
luton in Seoul about sixteen years ago,
and since then he has of all the foreigners
been the closest to the high officials of the
court. He was a friend Of the late queen
and now that his majesty is an emperor
he holds equally close relations to him. 1t
has been largely through DR.. Allen that
the Americans have been awarded the best
Of the concessions and that they have a
fair chance at everything. He was for
some years secretary Of our legation at
Seoul, but when Mckinley became president
he appointed him minister, which position
he now holds. He is, indeed, a valuable
