Reaches Japanese
Port Early To-
Day.
Russians Overlook
Prize of Great
Richness.

The Pacific Mail Company's liner Ko-
rea arrived safely at Yokohama at Z
o'clock this morning, Yokohama time,
and the good luck that for years has
sailed with "Bnl" Seabury has cheated
the Russians of rich prize.
''It is reported that the Korea has
been captured by the Russian fleet"
was the substance of a message re-
ceived from Liverpool by Livingstone,
Smith & Co. of this city yesterday. The
i'll news swept over the business sec
tion and was the topic of conversation
in the suburbs. Telephone bells rang,
and over the wires leading to the Mer-
chants Exchange and to the office of
the Pacific Mail Company poured a
steady stream of anxious questioning
from friends and relatives of the
steamships crew and passengers.
The Korea is not due until tonight
We are not worrying about her." was
the reply made to all who questioned
the Pacific Mail Company.
The town was thoroughly convinced
of the Korea's capture when the news
came at $3.50 o'clock last night that she
was safe at Yokohama.
A RICH PRIZE.
AS a prize of war the Korea could
hardly have been more attractive. and
it must have been for some very good
reason that the Cars ships allowed
her to slip by.
The Korea is comparatively a new
boat and is one of the finest steamships
afloat. She was built for the Pacific
Mail Company in 1902 at a cost of about
81, ,000 900. Her steel hull is the pride of
American shipbuilders, and her engines.
