BUSY SEASON ON.
Changes Being Made in Leading
Hotels


Special Correspondence Of The Evening star.
ATLANTIC CITY, January s, 1904
The opening of the winter season this
week has been suspicious, and at the same
time entirely different In the latter re-
snect the weather has been different from
ANYTHING ever known on Absecom Island
since it became famous as a winter resort.
The New Year, which usually ushers in the
ia fashionable season of the twelve month,
also stood sponsor for a spell of real arctic
weather that surprised the visitors and as
founded the natives. On several nights the
temperature went below zero, and for the
first time in the history Of the boardwalk
that fashionable promenade became one
vast skating rink from the Inlet TO Jackson
avenue a distance of over hve miles. NO
one ever knew before OF the existence OF
so many skates in this city as at the time
of the freezing over of the boardwalk Co
incident with the skating carnival was a
sleighing one, and strangely enough, the
beach front. which mas never oeen re ,
ure than that of bathing, has been one
vast avenue for the sieighers.
Capt John /. Young announces that the
work of reconstructing his famous pier that
was partially destroyed by the great storm
of October will begin at once. The new
part of the pier will be of steel, set In con-
crete caisSons h -
tells have remained open this season, not
more than three or four closing as eXcep-
tons to prove the rule. The hotels that
have contributed as muchyto the fame and
prosperity of Atlantic City as even the
ocean itself are those that gre now calling
to the patronage of the world and Offering
the best facilities for entertainment of any
resort hostelries in this or the old country.
All of them have been practically built
anew as to Interiors in the way of furnish
ings and general Frightening up, and in
this galaxy are the following famous hotels:
The Marlborough House, Galen Hall, Hotel
Rudolf Hotel Dunlop. Seaside House. Hotel
Chalfonte Hotel ellsworth, Hotel Strand,
Garden Hotel. Hotel Raleigh, Hotel Tray
more the Hotel Dennis, the Brighton, Had
don Hall. Hotel ST. Charles, Young's Hotel
and the Hotel Wiltshire. The extension to
the Hotel Chalfonte, which when completed
will make that probably the finest and GER
tainly the largest on the Atlantic seaboard,
will be completed in time for the summer
crowds. The famous old Hotel ST. Charles,
which tried the experiment of changing its
policy from that of house with bar to
one without a refreshment annex, has met
with a success that few veteran hotel
men predicted for II. The management de-
clares that it's prosperity under this rule
was greater than that of any preceding
year of its existence. The Hotel Holmhurst
is being largely improved by the&etddition
of a new wing. This is the first time this
old house has been closed in its long history
of existence. The steel pier. for the first
time since it was constructed. will open this
month. in anticipation of the biggest season
the resort has ever known. 1t will open
next week. and it's earliest day of opening
has been February %.

coREA MAY ASK INTERVENTION.
Under a Treaty Made With This
Country.

A dispatch from Paris last night says:
Min Young Tchan, the Corean minister said
today that he would not be surprised should
Corea appeal to the United States for good
offices in her behalf in case of the invasion
of Corean territory by one or the other
power. Under the treaty between the
United States and Corea this Is permissible.
Russia does not want war" added the
minister, land the japanese government
does not want war, but the japanese peo-
pic / fear, will force conflict. The atti-
tude of Corea has not been disclosed. but
my idea is that It viii do all in It's power
to save its territory from invasion and TO
preserve strict neutrality. / have maze
no protest to the powers against the land
ing of an American. guard for the legation
at Seoul. Probably If war occurs all the
nations will land men for the same pur-
pose"
Though negotiated twenty years ago by
ficals say the treaty referred to hy the
Corean minister at Paris has never been
invoked by the government OF that coun-
try. Its provisions contemplated that when
any of the powers treated COrea unjustiy
the good offices of the United States might
be offered with view TO an amicab.e ad-
justment of the controversy. Oficials say
that If any request comes from Corea for a
practical application of the terms of the
treaty, it very properly will be given con-
sideration by this government. Its prov1-
sions, however, are regarded as impracti-
cable of satisfactory enforcement, and the
necessity for it's existence has been super
seeded by the establishment of The Hague
tribunal.
