KOREA FEARS RUSSIA
WANTS CHINA TO CONSENT TO OPEN
ING THE PORT OF wIJU..
Believes that Russian Encroachments
ON the Hermit Kingdom Can
Thereby Be Checked.

PICKING, July 1.-THE Korean minister
has urged Prince Ching. head Of the Foreign
Office, to instruct the Chinese minister at
Seoul to authorize Korea to open WiJu,
Korea, to foreign trade as a means of mu-
tual defense against Russian encroachment
but his action is regarded as futile. Korea
believes her independence will be strength
ened and prolonged if she is able TO open
northern Korea TO International trade.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE roundabout
method adopted by the Korean government
to secure the opening of Wiju TO foreign
trade probably is necessary because of the
existence Of some treaty stipula tons be-
tween China and Korea signed since the
Chino Japanese war, which requires the con-
sent of China before such a step is taken.
For many years most of the traffic between
Korea and China has been by way of Win.
The latter place is a big Korean mart on
the Yalu river, nearly opposite Ta-Tung
Kao, on the right bank of the Yaiu, and the
locality to be opened to international trade
in Manchuria is a result of the strong rep
reservations which have been made TO Rus
STA by the United States for the open door
in China.
Recent dispatches have shown that Russia
has made claims to extensive timber con-
cessions in Korea on the banks Of the Yalu,
and both that country and Japan are appre-
hensive that through the medium of these
claims Russia will obtain a strong foothold
in Korea. japan is believed TO be at the
Hermit kingdom an anxious and willing

CHIEF ARTHUR'S DEATH
"HEART FAILURE, DUE TO OVER
EMOTION" GIVEN AS THE CAUSE.
Head Of the Brotherhood of Engineers
Was Much Affected When Present.
ed with q Floral Engine.

WINNIPEG, Man., July 17.-"Heart fail
ure. due to overemotion," was the cause as
signed for the sudden death of Chief P. NJ.
Arthur. of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. late last night. "Out of the full
ness Of the heart the mouth speaks" were
the opening words of the last speech that
Chief Arthur delivered. The speaker then
paused slightly. seemingly in an effort to
control his feelings. The chairman had just
presented him beautiful floral engine. AS
the venerable leader began the sentence, II
want TO say a few things, it may be my
parting words to many of you,' his emo
ton seemed to be getting beyond his con-
troll. His voice lowered slightly, but with
out losing its clearness he continued:
1--WE are here tonight. No one can tell
when"
At this point. five minutes after midnight.
the speaker fell Women present were the
first to utter a sign Of alarm. In an in
slant many hands were ready to give as
sistance. Several rushed forward to support
him. DR.. Macarthur hurriedly assembled
the stairs, and Mr.. Arthur was carried off
the platform. The physician examined the
patient and pronounced him dead Heart
failure, due to overemotion," he said. An
affecting scene followed the Doctors an
nOuncement.
The body was sent south to-day or a Great
Northern train TO Cleveland. 1t is accom-
panied by w. b. Premier, secretary of an
insurance company, and Mrs. PREMIER, also
several delegates to the convention. A large
procession escorted the casket containing
the body from the undertaking rooms to the
station.
p NJ. Arthur, who was born in Scotland
seventy-two years ago. had been at the head
of the Locomotive Brotherhood of Engineers
since 1873. He was noted for his conserva-
tism, and under his administration strikes
were few and far between. His motto was
Come, let us reason together" and his
methods won for him the confidence of off,
Gals and employees alike. Mr.. Arthur ran
an engine from Albany to Schenectady on
the New York Central. for twenty years.
His engine was the William II. Wander
bilt," the crack engine of the road. He and
sixteen other engineers were discharged for
daring to ask for passes for their families.
They had no organization then. but a few
years later they concluded to ask for enough
more wages To pay fare for their wives. The
same man who discharged them was glad
to grant the increase.
p NJ Arthur is survived by his widow
and two children, c. B. Arthur and Mrs.
Samuel Haserot, both of whom live in Cleve-
land.
Assistant Grand chief A. B. Youngson, of
the Brotherhood, is lying critically i'll in
hospital at Meadville, Pa, and has not been
informed Of Mr.. Arthur's death.

ARTIST WHISTLER DEAD
FAMOUS AMERICAN WHO LIVED
MANY YEARS ABROAD.
Member of Many Societies and RecoR.
mixed as a Genius Noted for
His Eccentricities.

LONDON, July B-James Abbott Mcneil
Whistler. American artist, died yesterday
afternoon at his residence, "a Cheyne Walk,
Chelsea. at the age of sixty-nine years.
His death came Unexpectedly, although for
some time he has been seriously i'll.
This mornings papers publish elaborate
obituary notices, recognizing the distin-
guished personality of Whistler, whose
genius greatly dominated European art of
the present generation. While admitting
that it is for posterity to decide his exact
position as a painter, it is generally con-
coded that he was consummate etcher.
The Daily Telegraph says: ut may safely
be prophesied that the light of his genius
will but burn the brighter when his self
asserted individuality has been a little for
gotten. or. at any rate, obscured."
The Daily Chronicle says: at is mortify-
ing to think that there is no example of
his work in the public galleries of London
where he lived and worked so many years. "
James Mcneil Whistler. officer of the
Legion Of Honor member of the Societe
Rationale des Artistes Francois, honorary
member of the Royal Academy of ST. Luke,
Rome, commander of the Order of the
Royal Academy of Vavaria, chevalier of
the Order of ST. Michael, honorary member
of the Royal Academy of Dresden, was a
native of America and received a military
education at the academy at West Point.
He studied art under Gleyre in Paris. He
was noted for his eccentricities Of manner,
which found expression chiefly in "a
brusqueness that was very repellant TO
those who were not his intirnates. Nearly
all his life after leaving the Military Acad-
envy was spent in the capitals and art CEN
tiers of Europe. Among his notable works
were: Portraits of Carlyle and Sarasate,
portrait of the artists mother in the Lux
embourg Palace, the Peacock Room and
the portrait of Lady Eden, over which the
artist was involved in litigation with Sir
William Eden in 1894. His chief publica-
tion was THE Gentle Art of Making En-
emies," 1890.
The portrait of Lady Eden in dispute was
painted in 1894 and was exhibited in the
salon of the Champs de Mars In payment
for the picture Sir William sent the painter
a check for sum which the latter thought
was far below the value of his work. In
pique Whistler not only refused to deliver
the portrait, but painted in another head
in place of that of Lady Eden. Sir William
brought suit for damages and to compel the
delivery of the work. His lawyer produced
in court a letter from Whistler apparently
accepting $500 or $3.50 for the picture, but the
plaintiff contended that the letter was
merely an ironical protest against the al
legged attempt of Sir. William to beat down
the original price of s., 700.

Calvin Brice and Sugar stock.
Wa shington Post.

Calvin S. Brice was in many respects
one of the most remarkable men that was
ever a member of the United States Senate.
He had the money making gift, and in his
time was identified with many large enter
prises 1t was while he was a member of
the Senate that the Wilson tariff bill was
passed. and such a stupendous sensation
was made regarding alleged sugar specula-
tions by senators. The investigation which
followed did not find anything. all senators
but Quay declaring that they did not specu-
late in sugar. while the Pennsylvania sena-
tor said he would buy sugar or any other
stock whenever he felt like il.
Many supposed that notwithstanding his
denials, Brices was a large speculator In
sugar stocks After he left the Senate he
talked with personal friend about the
matter, and said that as matter of fact
he never bought share of sugar stock.
Il intended to do so once" said Brice. II
had spare hundred thousand dollars, and
was going to buy sugar stock as an in
vestment for my wife. With this intention
l went to Mr.. Havemeyer and told him
would like to look at his books adding that
/ was thinking or buying some stock.
My books are for my own personal
use said Havemeyer. and 1 do not show
them to anybody
That settled me- continued Brice. II

cards on top of the table and dealing done

TO DISREGARD COLOR LINE.
Newport Opens q Fashionable Drive
to the Swell Negro Set.

NEWPORT, r. l., July H.-Taking their
cue from the Booker T. Washington cpl
sode az the White House when the
President received the negro educator, So
ciety folk here have taken decisive steps
to remove or at least disregard, the color
line All of that class and color who can
afford the luxury may be seen daily III all
manner of vehicles on Bellevue avenue, the
most fashionable drive in Newport.
This remarkable innovation is believed
to have been prompted more recently by
the action of DR.. William T. Bull and
DR.. Thomas F. Kenefick, Of New York,
in calling into consultation DR.. George
Wheatlahd, a well-known colored physi-
clan, on the Gordon Mckay case. Mr.
Mckay is now on the road to recovery, and
he is said to believe that his present i'm
proved condition is due largely to the skill
of the negro practitioner. So impressed has
he been with the ability of DIR. Wheatlard
that the latter is one of the most frequent
callers at the Mckay villa, although the
millionaire patient is in little need of med
ical attendance.
Hard on the heels of the Mckay cpl
sode came that of the yachtsman.
George w. Weld, of Boston, who suffered
from severe paralytic stroke. DR.. Wheat
land was called in upon the case. Mr.
Weld is now able to stroll about his mag
nificent grounds for an hour at time.
DIR. Wheatland is Roentgen-ray apostle
and it is this treatment that he has been
giving invalids.

sia Receiving the Petition.

STA Receiving the Petition.
NEW YORK, July 17.-Leon N. Levi,
when informed Of the action of Secretary
Hay regarding the petition to the Car Of
Russia against the massacre of Jews, said
he had not yet received Mr. Hays tele-
gram. However, on the strength of the in
formation brought to him he made the fol-
lowing statement:
THE answer made by Russia to Secretary
Hays note is no surprise to me. While
of course, Ii was within the range of posi-
bility that the Gar and his ministers
would be moved by considerations Of
humanity and expediency to courteously
pie. it was well understood that the prob
abilities were all the other way. The
movement, however, has had all the good
effects that were In contemplation and even
more. 1t has enabled the American peo-
pie and the government to make an endur-
ing record of their views on the Kishineff
horror. 1t has brought the emphatic ex-
preston of these views home, not only to
the people of Russia, but to the Russian
Emperor and his ministers. They have
become acquainted with the contents of the
petition, not only by seeing it in the press
but also because it's full text was communi-
Gated in the note which asked if the orig
insl would be received
1.-The petition. being now an official doc
ument, will be preserved in the archives of
the United States and will forever testify
to the lofty humanity of the people, which
is so splendidly represented by the signers
and of the President and his official advis-
that the friendship Of Russia for the United
States was not strong enough to permit a
respectful appeal for religious liberty made
by citizens of this country.

Yet Is Alleged to Have Been Killed
by Excessive Use of Tobacco

KALAMAZOO, Mich, July 17.-William
c. Pattison, of this city, is dead in his
eghty-ninth year as the result of the ex-
cessive use of tobacco. His tobacconist,
from whom he bought exclusively, gave out
the statement after his death had been
made public. that in twelve years Mr.. Pat
tison smoked more than $4,000 cigars, which
cost him $4,000.
In his early life he was an even more
consi ant smoker than in his declining
years, and local cigar men estimate that
in the last twenty years of his life he had
smoked 100000 of his favorite brand, which
cost him $4,000
Mr.. Pattison was pioneer stage coach
man of the middle West, having established
the first stage line between ST. Paul and
ST.. Anthony, Mimi, along the bank of the
Mississippi river. He also established the
first stage line between Grand Rapids,
