Japanese Troops in Korea.

Paris. The Toxic correspondent of
the Matin sends the following informa-
ton concerning the japanese military
situation up to March 10, which he
says comes from a sure source:
'"The first army of 10000 troops, IN
der General Kuroki, occupies North
ern Korea. The brigade landed at
Gensan forms part of the second army
of similar strength. The mobilization
of the latter has been completed.
After the first landing a small expe-
dictionary force landed at Haiju. 1t
pressed on and seized Pingyang. 1t
was followed there by troops who land
ed at Chemulpo. This force was suf-
ficient to secur a strategic front
against a possible advance of the Rus
slams from the Yalu River.
These troops had terrible weather,
rain being followed by frost and then
by a blizzard. The infantry, however.
marched twenty-five miles a day, each
man carrying nearly 100 pounds. They
did well, bivouacing mostly in Korean
villages.
Covered by this force. a larger force
Is now disembarking within easier dis
lance of the objective, while it is re-
ported that preparations for disem-
barkation are also being made at the
only practicable port on the east coast
of Korea.
The weather is intensely cold. but
the troops are being Immediately
pushed forward and are bivouacked
with their animals in the open, and
sleep in turns in Korean houses, which
are warm, though dirty. Everything
requisitioned is paid for. but at pres
ent the army is independent of the re-
sources of the country.

No More Barrels of Matches.

Senator Hoar bewails the innovation
recently introduced at that end of the
Capitol in the purchase of matches.
Almost since the time that friction
matches were invented the Senate has
been receiving its supply in little,
round, wooden boxes. Matches in
these boxes have been for years kept
about the Capitol. When, in Mr..
Hoar's committee room, some one
asked for matches, the Senator would
remark: "Why, we have barrels of
Matches and forthwith, at the utter
ance of the bon mot, around box would
be produced.
Now the purchasing agent of the Sen.
ate has decided to buy matches in the
usual paper boxes with which the e
eral public is familiar. That is consid-
erably less expensive, but it puts an
end to "barrels of matches in the Sen.

Street Cars.

The street-car system of, Hull, Eng
land, which is owned and operated by
the city, is said by United States Con-
sui Hamm to be in many respects SUI
perior to the American. The cars are
double-decked and the fare two cents
for any distance. There are twenty
miles of track in operation. The gross
income for last year was Sac, 900 and
operating expenses were $233,00O. The
net profit, with interest and sinking
fund deducted, was $4,000. The pas

AN average of Lightweight rides for
every man, woman and child in Hull.
The wages paid are low, motormen
receiving from $6,75 to $3.50 a week
and conductors from S. to $3.50. On
account of cheaper provisions and
lower rents the purchasing power of
the wages is greater than appears.
They could be doubled and leave a
profit to the city.

Foreign Princes in Russian Army

The Russian army will have two
princes representing dynasties in its
ranks, for besides Prince Louis Ma
poleon, Don Jaime de Bourbon, son of
the legitimist pretender to the crown

SULLY. COTTON KING, FAILS
The Bull Operator in Futures
Smashed by Bears.
PANIC FOLLOWS HIS SUSPENSION
Daniel j. Sully. the Most Spectacular
Figure in the Commodity Markets
Since the Days of Joe Letter, Has Gone

New York City.-The suspension of
Daniel J. Sully & Co., whose operations
on the cotton market have been fine
most powerful influence there for two
years, was announced OH the Cotton
Exchange and caused a panic. The
wildly f%uctuating character of the
market earlier in the day had made
cotton traders apprehensive of some
catastrophe, but the announcement
came as a surprise and dealt a stag
gering blow to a market which had al
ready declined nearly three cents a
pound in the last four days.
Sully was supposed to be carrying
from 100000 to 1901 900 bales of cotton
for future delivery. The value of this
vast amount would be from S24. O
600 to $36, 600, 600. Sully's scheme
since the first of the year has been TO
bull prices up to a high level and
keep them there till the fulfilment of
his contracts. The general belief ON
the Exchange was that a number of
powerful spot dealers, ~resenting the
artificial prices created by Sully, had
united to smash him.
On the announcement of his failure
the May option dropped from 14.32 to
1858; July dropped from 1882 to 1915.
and August went down to an ever
twelve cents.
AS May and July were both selling
at 1865 on Monday it will be seer
that this was a drop of 400 points, or
fonr cents a pound in four days.
Spot cotton, which had been selling
at 1893, dropped suddenly to 1922.
After the first excitement of the
panic had worn off, there was a rally
of about 100 points. all around.
Daniel J. Sully is considered by
many the most spectacular figure that
ever entered the cotton pit in this CITY.
He came here from Providence some
thing over a year ago. His rise was
rapid, and in six weeks he rose from
Delng a comparatively unknown man
to have a national reputation.
1t was not until he had passed his
fortieth birthday that he began his
wonderful career of speculation. He
was born on March 9, 1861. at Proyi-
dence, X. l., of Yankee stock that had
not made any great impression in the
financial world. A few months ago
fabulous estimates of the millions of
dollars of profits that he was supposed
to have taken from his colossal bull
speculation in cotton were made. He
was not supposed to be operating
alone, but who his biggest associates
were Wall Street and the cotton dis
trict only guessed.

Portsmouth, England.-The British
submarine boat No. A l was run down
and sunk off the Nab lightship by a
Donald Currie liner and eleven persons
were drowned, including Lieutenant
Mansergh, the senior officer engaged in
submarine work. The liner passed on
and reported that she had struck a tor
pedo.
At the time she was struck the vessel
was off the lightship, engaged in the
maneuvres, and was lying in seven
-fathoms of water, waiting the approach
of a battleship.
The boat was one of the newest of
the fleet of submarine vessels. and was
built from the latest models, but she
has always been a bad diver. She was
inspected recently by King Edward
and the Prince Of Wales.
The name OF the liner which struck
the submarine boat is the Berwick
