Absence of Quorum Caused Delay In
Senator Shoots Trial.
Washington, March 12.-Absence of
quorum caused a delay until 1890
in calling to order the senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections,
which is investigating the protest
against Senator Reed Smoot retaining
his seat. E. B. CritchIow, formerly
an assistant United States attorney in
Utah, again took the stand and his
cross-examination was continued by
Waldemar Vancott, one OF the attor-
neys for the defense. Sentiment
against Mr.. Smoot was the subject Of
inquiry by Mr.. Vancott, who asked
specifically If wave Of antagonism
to the Mormon senator was not Great
ed by the Leilich charges that Mr..
Smoot was polygamist. Mr.. Critch-
now thought that had not been the
effect, though there had been much
surprise that this was made in the
face Of the statement in the general
protest that Mr.. Smoot was not charg-
ed with polygamy. Little interest
was taken in the cross-examination
and only two members of the commit
tee remained in their seats for the
greater part of the forenoon.

Martial Activity at Seoul.

Seoul, March 2.-Detachments Of
Korean soldiers marching up and
down the main streets in the neigh
borkood of the palace at all hours
of the day and evening give an air
of martial activity to this city.
But few Japanese soldiers remain
here. All have gone north, and the
foreign legations continue to be guard
ed by marines. The American lega-
ton has 35 men on duty within the
grounds and others are CHARTERED at
American business houses for the
sake OF better accommodations For
eigners, however, feel perfectly safe,
although there is more real business
activity at Chemulpo.
The Japanese authorities treat the
foreigners very courteously and have
just given American minister Allen
to go to the front with passage on
transport to Chinampo where he is
expected to arrive today.
War preparations continue here me-
thodically, while about 10000 Koreans
pursue their normal everyday life
free from excitement. The funeral
of the late Empress Dowager will take
place on Monday next.

reputation throughout the length and

British Collier Tells Of Fioh+.

attack made by the Japanese, has
just arrived here.
She reports that Japanese warships
coming from r Talien-Wan made an
other attack ON Port Arthur at mid

$50 BALES OF COTTON BURN.
Sparks from Passing Engine Sets Fire

Madison, Ga, March 12.-Over $50
bales of cotton were burned and scorch-
ed on the depot platform of the Geor-
gia railroad this afternoon. At one
time, on account~of the high wind,
the depot was threatened, but by hard
work, in which the people on the up
train on the Georgia railroad assist
ed by furnishing water from the en-
CINE, the fire was extinguished be-
fore it could reach the depot
One thousand bales of cotton were
sold here Friday, most of 1t being the
property of ]. W. Beerden, the larg-
est cotton buyer in this section, and
it was being hauled to the depot for
shipment when the fire broke out.
The cause of the fire is unoknwn,
but it is thought it caught from

Correspondents Go to Front.
New York, March 12.-Questions of
arrangements for the large number Of
foreign correspondents here who are
desirious Of accompanying the Japa-
nese field forces have bother the war
office a great deal, says a Herlad dis
patch from Toxic. The japanese wish
to afford the correspondents every rea-
sonaDle facility possible to make them
comfortable while campaigning, but
recognize the difficulty, owing to the
difference of conditions of living to
which foreigners are accustomed. The
best they could offer was the regular
Japanese ration, with transportation
of TO pounds of baggage. After
prolonged discussion it was finally ar
ranged for the correspondents to ap-
point contractor to run a field can
teen and undertake field transporta-
ton. The war office has approved
this scheme and expects all the CORE
spondents to rely on the contractor,
but will supply rations in an emergen-
cy. The contractor also supplies the
foreign military attaches. He is bond
ed to fulfill his agreement.
The war office has finally determin-
ed to send only Is with the first col
umn, eight British, five American,
one Frenchman and one German, this
being a representation proportionate
to the respective numbers Of CORE
spoldents here. Subsequent lots will
accompany the different columns. It
is impossible to obtain definite in
formation as to when the start will
be made, but the Is already selected
have been told to be ready to leave
at moments notice.

safety.
a messenger from the mines at I'm

vicinity. Only a few accommodating
parties of Cosgacks are seen north
of that point, and there are probably
only a few hundred Russians in all
south Of the Yalu.
There is little prospect Of any con-
flict in this quarter within the next
six weeks. Thus far there has been
NO trouble at the mines and there is
little likelihood they will be inter
fered with, both sides having given
every assurance in that respect The
only possible danger is from strag-
Cling parties of pillagers but from
these the miners are in a position to
protect themselves having on hand
three Colt guns and an ample supply

He kept the plant we'll watered. In

the gain had come from .Ie water: but
modern botanical science proves that
the gain was, in a great measure, due
to the carbon absorbed from the air.
