Riot on collbran Line.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The War De
oartment received information to-day
Of an attack by mob of Koreans on
an electric car, the line being owned
by Americans. because OF the fact
that it had killed Korean. The news
came in the following cablegram re-
ceived under to-day's date from Min
lister Allen at Seoul:
This morning on the electric rail-
way. which is the property of Ameri-
can citizens. a Korean was accidental
ly killed. Thereupon a mob of natives
attacked and partially destroyed the
car. The operators of the car would
have been injured had 1t not been for
the presence of our guard and serious
riot would have occurred
Although there have been previous
reports of disturbances in Korea, this
is the first mob attack made thus far
on property of Americans. The rail-
road is owned and operated by Amer
leans, II. r. Bostwick of San Francisco
and II. Collbran of Denver being its
principal owners. It runs through the
heart of Seoul. the Korean capital.
The guard which made the rescue
came from the American legation. 1t
consists of 100 marines. who were sent
there some time ago to be on hand for
the protection of Americans and their
property.

NEW COAL FIELD
NEAR DENVER

Denver. Jan. 25.-The Republican
this morning says. Another coal field
which seemingly surpasses in extent
the Leyden field may soon be opened
up within fourteen miles of Denver.
An enormous vein Of excellent Ignite
coal is said to have been cut and the
persons interested in the venture are
busily engaged in acquiring all the
land in the vicinity of the new field.
They have approximately 5000 acres
now and are after more. They say
they have the coal and expect to get
oil. The announcement of the open
ing up of the proposition is one of con-
siderable importance to the people of
Denver.
$. A. Rhodes. a Chicago capitalist
and business man. is one of those in
terested in the coal land. He is at the
Brown Palace hotel. He has been in
Denver three or four days in connec-
ton with the enterprise and visited the
place where the coal has been opened
up yesterday in company with few
other persons who are associated with
him in the project,
The coal is Ignite, smooth and free
from dust and slate. 1t is certainly an
excellent furnace coal. judging from
the samples which have been brought
in.
Ii is understood that the vein was
cut at n depth of less than fifty feet,
and 1t is twenty-five feet wide, indicat-
ing that the field Is of great extent. Mr.,

stock and fixtures of tenants to the eX-

All occupants of the building escaped
without serious injury, through the
bravery of the elevator men, who re
mained at their posts, operating their
cars while dense clouds of smoke filled
the building.
The fire broke out in the suite of five
rooms on the fifth floor occupied by
Robert Friedlander & Co., manufactur-
ers of X-ray apparatus. A lighted
match carelessly thrown by an empioye
into a pile of excelsior in the packing
rooms is believed TO have started the
fire.
A large number Of X-ray vacuum
tubes are stored in the company's
rooms, and these exploded the moment

worked until overcome by smoke,
