Tokyo, Aug. 29.-It lis unofficially
stated here that the Korean govern
ment has agreed to engage Japanese
nominese for advisers of the depart
ments of finance and foreign affairs,
and has also undertaken to follow their
advice in every respect. Korea already

its military departments. In addition
an extensive program of reforms is to

In order to enable the government
to carry out its intentions, Japanese
will lend Korea 10000, 90 yen as first
installment in order to place the finan-

and to correct the abuses created by
the nickel currency. The Korean mil

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Conferences of
the committee appointed last week to
attempt settlement of the stock yards
strike with the parties to the dispute
resulted in nothing The packers and
the strikers said just what they said
at their conferences with the mayor
about a week before, and there appear

either side
Notwithstanding, however, the la
Dor leaders announced later that in
all probability the butchers strike
would be settled amicably before next
Wednesday, They declined to explain
the grounds for their belief, but were
positive in their statements that the
strike would not be called off.
President Donnelly. of the butchers
union, has called all the members of
the butchers executive board to meet
in hicago next Wednesday.

FULLY SPLICED.
Distinguished Guests Witness eli.

to Mainland in Direct Telegraph
ic Communications 80 Ceremony
Consisted Principally of Cheers.

Seattle, Aug. 29.-Amid the cheers
OF three hundred men and women, the
hoarse shrieks of two big steamships
and the exultant rendering of the ma
tional anthem by brass band, the
spliced ends of the Seattle Sitka gov
eminent cable fell into the waters of
Puget sound at I 40 yesterday after
noon, ten miles out of this port, and
about half mile off West point. Ma
yor Ballinger and j. 7. Flynn. chair
man of the special chamber of com
merce committee, severed the two
ropes holding the cable to the deck of
the United States cable ship Burnside
exactly eight minutes after the final
splice was made, and with splash
that evoked almost frenzied cheers
from the spectators on board the gov
eminent vessel and the steamship
Queen, the wire fell to the bottom of
the sound and direct communication
between Alaska and the United States
was esta blished after months of work
and the expenditure of -, 1000, 900.
Simplicity, in itself impressive,
marked the event. There were no set
speeches as the wire went over the
side, and the best ceremony, in the
opinion of the onloOkers, were the
rounds of spontaneous cheers from ev-
erybody that witnessed the event. In
the rigging of the Burnside. brilliant
with flags and streamers We're massed
the Filipino sailors of the cableship.
An eighth of mile away lay the
Queen, her deck rails lined with the
interested faces of some of the most
prominent citizens of Seattle. Her
rigging was also covered with stream
ers About a mile away, although
taking no part in the ceremonies, lay
the United States monitor Wyoming,
her presence adding interest to the
affair. Several small harbor craft
stood off from the big ships as they lay
in the stream, ready to add their whis-
ties at the proper time to the general
tumult
At 80 two sailors of the Burnside
who had for an hour been joining the
ends of the cable, made their final
splice. There were now but two ropes
holding the cable on board the ship.
A sailors clasp knife was given to
Mayor Ballinger and one to Mr.. Flynn.
At signal from Col. Allen, of the
United States signal corps, each drew
the sharp blade across the strands and
the wire fell The group of army Off
GERS, city officials and newspaper men
who were around the mayor waved
their hats and cheered almost before
the splash came. The men in the rig
cling of the Burnside and those on deck
dotted their hats and, yelling as only
sailors can, notified the passengers
aboard the Queen that the cable was
complete and laid. simultaneously
the sirens of the Burnside and the
Queen broke loose, as did those of the
smaller vessels. Wagner's band, on
board the Queen, struck up the "Star
Spangled Banner heard dimly
through the whistling and the cheer
ing. The enthusiasm so manifested
lasted fully five minutes and formed,
the spectators afterward stated, the
most impressive manifestation of the
kind they had ever seen.

rams are building for the government,
Will be launched the afternoon of c.

But before she leaves their hands all
of her armament an fittings are to be
placed, representing total cost as
above stated.
The formal announcement of the
date of the launching was made Sat
urday by William Moran, vice presi-
dent and acting general manager of
the company.
Some days ago Mr. Moran wrote
Governor Mickey, asking him to des-
ignate proper person to christen the
battleship, and he has named his
daughter. Governor Mickey and his
staff will witness the launching. Miss
Mickey will accompany the governor
and party.
Make 1t a Notable Event.
The Morans intend making the event
one of The most memorable IN the his
tory of Seattle. That, in effect was
what William Moran stated Saturday
He said:
1--WE hope to make the launching a
success in every way-in fact, one of
the most notable events in the history
of Seattle. Governor Mickey and staff
have been invited, and they will no
doubt attend.
1.-The launching will occur during
the early part of the afternoon of Oc-
tober IL should say from 2 O'Clock
to $3.50 o'clock. But the exact hour
will depend somewhat upon the tide.
"Our invitations will include the
officials of the navy department, of all
the principal cities of the states on
the Pacific coast, and those of British
Columbia as we'll About $4,000 all
told are to be sent out
''Our shipyards will afford accom-
modatiOns for an enormous crowd.
We will have the entire plant appro-
priately decorated with flags and other
ornamentation. There will be speeches
by leading men, music and other
things that go with big celebration.
Before the day of launching, Robert
Moran, head of the company, will
have returned from Europe, enabling
him to be present.
cat this time the n Nebraska is about
so per cent completed, and by the day
of launching we hope to have her So
per cent nearer finished. And I may
say in this connection that construc
ton on the Nebraska has progressed as
rapidly as ON any of the other naval
vessels or which the government gave
out contracts at that time.
"We laid the Nebraska's keel two
years ago last July, and began actual
work in November of that year-l9O2.
'We hope to have her completed
and ready for full -hedged naval bat
tie within one year from the date of
her launching"
