Why They Wear Broad Brims.
rrt d OF a

The that's worn by Korean state
functionaries have brims of enormous
dimensions, three feet across some
times, and are required to be made
of clayas The reason for this. Mr..
Hatch tells in his recent book, is that
some years ago the then ruler Of
Korea was annoyed at the habit Of
whispering that prevailed at court
and so decided upon compelling his
courtiers to wear hats that would
make it somewhat more difficult to
put their headsNclose together and ex.
change condolences.

Murder of Belgian Missionaries,

A cabegram from Picking last night
says: On July 10 Bishop Verhaeghen and
two missionary priests, all BeIgians, were
murdered near Shinanfu The first secre-
tary of the French legation was sent to
hold an inquiry. and as result of the In
vestigation the following demands have
been presented: First, punishment of the
guilty; second, degradation of the subpre-
feet and other minor officials, who not only
failed in their duty to protect foreigners,
but have shown some sympathy with the
guilty: third, erection of hospital, open to
all Chinese, without distinction of creed;
fourth, honorable funeral of the victims
fifth, compensation to the extent of a few
hundred dollars to the families of the Chi
nese murdered at the same time as the mis-
sionaries, and compensation for Chinese
property destroyed, no pecuniary compen-
sation demanded for the murdered mission
aries. France no doubt recognizes the
anomaly of her position as a protector of
missionary bodies in China. whom she has
expelled from France, and has sought to
derive no political advantage from the muir
ders. China will willingly agree to the
terms.

ALLOWED TO PROCEED.
The Steamer Independent, With Food
for Japanese, Detained at Chefoo.

Sir Robert Hart, chief of the Chinese ma
rine customs service at Chefoo has decided
that the steamship Independent be allowed
20 proceed for Niuchwang unhampered
The steamship Independent, under char
ter TO the Osaka Steamship Company to
carry food from Japan to Niuchwang has
been held by the Chefoo commissioner of
customs. The. Independent put into that
port to discharge passengers and local
freight. The commission claimed that if the
steamship were allowed TO depart the neu-
trality of China would be violated and he
demanded that the Contraband among her
cargo be landed. The Japanese consul
protested and referred the matter to
the japanese minister at Picking. The com
missioner of customs. on his side, re-
ferred the matter TO Sir Robert Hart chief
OF the Chinese maritime customs service,
Pending a decision of the case the In
dependent remained at Chefoo with her
cargo.
Notwithstanding official denials there Is
reason to believe that the independent car
ried a large sum of money, the maximum
estimate upon which is 100000 destined
to pay General kurokfs army. A Japanese
torpedo boat destroyer arrived at Chefoo
Tuesday night at 10 o'clock having come
over at top speed from Port Dalpy and at
once took on board all the money on the
Independent with the exception of $4,000
The destroyer then left.
