London, March 1O.-An investiga-
ton of the tomb of King Thothmes W.,
near Thebes, in which. as cabled to the

cent marble sarcophagus covered with

or beef, legs of mutton and trussed
Guck and geese. offerings made to the
dead king nearly 1000 years ago. Clay
seals bearing the kings name are at

Demand of the Russians for Railway
Concession is Not Granted

March 10 Correspondence of the AS
sociated Press 1.-The first bank note
difficulty which threatened serious
complications between Korea and Ja-
pan had hardly been settled with the
back down of Korea. owing TO the firm
attitude of Japan, when another COM
plication arose. This took the form
of a Russian demand for concession
to lay the projected railway between
Seoul and Wiju. purely strategical
line. The concession was pressed for
on the plea that a similar concession
to lay the Seoul Fusan railway had
been granted Japan. tho some publicists
professed that it was merely made as
a diplomatic bluff to forstall possible
demand by Japan for the same privil-
ege as quid pro quo for the late first
bank prohibition.
However that may be. it is announced
today that Korea has rejected the Rus
sian demand The incident is another
pinch Of evidence that Korea is the
storm center of the far east, and it will
require the keenest watchfulness on the
part of representatives Of all the pow
ers to maintain peace.

United States minister at Seoul, has

sway over the emperor vi Yongik.
who was recently discredited at court,
and later reinstated in his former office,

leanings and pioportionate anti-Jap-
anese bias. These rumors must, how
ever. be received with reserve, as 1t
is notoriously difficult to penetrate the
mysteries of the perpetual intrigues go
ing on at the Seoul court. His imperial

Argo, born slave, died yesterday at

Of his life. Argo belonged to General

have been the original Uncle Tom, as
many of the traits which made him re-

tion.~ He had been repeatedly written
up. Fifty years and more ago he was a
wonder as jockey and by his skillfui

DO WE POP TOO QUICK?
President on The Advantage Eastern
Men Have,

Boston, March 10.-President Eliot. of
Harvard, in the course of an address
here to-day. made the surprising de-
claration:
eastern men seem to get things done
and accomplish their purpose quicker
than western men. The difference be-
tween eastern and western men. ! no.
tice, is that eastern men bottle up their
enthusiasm, while western men let it
pop out. Enthusiasm is natural steam.
1t does not become effective unless it
is confined 1t must be confined in the
cylinder and not let out except to do
work.
President Eliot advocates including
the first two years of the college course
in the curriculum of the high school.
He also advocates a six years high
school course, in order to take in part
of the college curriculum. He favors
two years taken into the university,
which should stand for higher educa-
ton. The b. A. degree would be a
bolished or made an entrance degree
for the university, instead of college
basis.
