Royal Visit to Coney Island Reflected
in Money Lenders Notes for
$4,000.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Prince Hui
wha. third son of King Lii Hsi of ko-
rea. is at the Korean legation in the
city of Washington awaiting the ar
rival of 100000 from his father that
he may pay various debts contracted
with money lenders. Much of this
sum was spent in Coney Island and
this city in clothes, theatres, banquets
and various other allurements calcu-
lated to attract prince only 20 years
old
Prince Huiwha was sent to this
country with $4,000 year at his com
mand to attend the Roanoke Univers-
ity. This was in 1900. After \
year at the university, during which
time he learned a great deal of the
customs and manners of the country
Prince Huiwha visited the city and
incidentally Coney Island. An III
timaie expenditure OF 100000 was the
result.
For this amount he gave a great
many notes to money lenders, who
did not see fit to refuse the son of
king anything he might ask.

SMILED WHEN SENTENCED.
Book Agent Tempted Into Indiscre-

pective Customer.

NEW YORK. Feb. Three months
in jail for kiss which lasted only
three-tenths of second may seem a
severe penalty. but Samuel Denton,
30 years old well dressed and smil-
ing. uttered no complaint today az
the Judge of the court of special ses-
sions in Brooklyn set that penalty
for the excessive gallantry of which
he had been guilty. He simply sat
and twirled his moustache with his
right hand and sent a languishing
glance In the direction of the doc.
tors pretty maid whose lips had
tempted him. The maid, Mary
Munich, returned his looks with the
most naughty disdain, and Denton
sighed as he was led away to the
prison van.
Miss Mupnch is maid in the home
of Dr. Ritter. Denton called on the
doctor some weeks ago and asked him
to subscribe for newspaper. and he
was told to call again. Denton rang
the door bell one night last week.
Miss Mary opened 1t. She had on
her prettiest apron and she smiling.
ly ushered Denton into the hall. He
told her he had an appointment with

czAR RULES IN CHINA.
Success Of Yuno Lu Shows That
Great Britain Can Expect No
Favors.

LONDON, Feb What has been
much feared by the Salisbury cabi-
net has happened in China. Yung
Lu is in the saddle. and the car is
directing his bride hand.
While the appointment of Lu Is
merely called that of first secretary.
his preferment actually means that.
next to the dowager empress, he be-
comes the most powerful parsonage
in China. He will virtually control
the WaiWuPu, the new board that
assumes the duties formerly entrust-
ed to the old Tsung-li-Yamen.
He was and is the fomenting fac.
tor in the murderous operations OF
the cult of Harmonious Fists. other.
wise called Boxers, and his cries OF
XIII. XIII" that echoed during the
terrible summer days of 1900 result.
ed in many bloody butcheries.
Even while pretending to protect
the legations, Yung Lu played his
cards with an eye single to the fu-
ture-posing one day as the guard
an angel of the foreigners. and on the
next as the leader OF the ferocious
boxers. Yung LUIS expectations Of
reward and preferment for his nefari
Gus services have been realized.
1t is no secret now that. through his
advancement, Russia has scored an
other important point at Pekin, and
the supine lethargy of Salisbury and
OF Landsdowne is being denounced.
The fact that Lu is the patron Of
Yuan Shih-Kai, the new viceroy OF
Chill. adds to the diplomatic compli
cations. Both are determined, con
scienceless men. and both are close
friends of the Muscovite. They be-
lieve they owe their lives to the in
tercession of the czar; but, as cor
respondent at Pekin recently wrote,
lit is bagatelle in their eyes that
the gum that fastens the Russian
bond OF protection is the blood OF
10000 unarmed Chinese slain on the
Amur."
In other respects the record OF
Yung Lu Is sinister in the extreme.
He is the man who crushed the re-.
form movement in 1898. when Yuan
Shih-Kai gave the Kang Yu Wei par.
ty and the emperor away. There is
no denying that because OF his ele-
walton the outlook at Pekin for Brit.
