CONFUSION IN KOREA.
Presbyterian Missionary Writes OF
Conditions Prior to War.

A dispatch to the Chicago Chronicle from
Alton, Ill, says: Friends of the Rev. W..
III. Kearns, Presbyterian missionary at
Sun Chum, Korea. are in receipt of let
ter from him telling of the narrow escape
of himself and family to Ping Yang when
the hostilities began between Japan and
Russia and Korea was occupied by the
foreigners.
His letter shows the utter confusion that
existed on all sides when Korea was occu-
pied. In telling of his escape Mr.. Kearns
also gives some idea OF the tumultuous
times that the little kingdom Is experien-
cling. He says:
Saturday, February co. telegram came
saying that chair coolies had already been
sent from Ping Yang, and urging that the
ladies and children be sent Immediately to
Ping Yang. Hasty preparations were be-
gun. but were stopped in few hours by
the arrival of 400 Cossacks, who seized
houses and prepared to camp for the night.
The Koreans were In panic, and flee
ing from their homes by scores, The Cos
sacks went in the morning and were fol-
lowed by an equal number during the day.
The chair coolies arrived on Sunday morn
Ing bearing urgent messages from mission
aries in Ping Yang. After consultation a
narrow mountain path parallel to the main
road was selected possible route.
Christian coolies were finally secured after
much effort. and on Monday three ladies
and one child, escorted by one of the men,
started on the difficult trip with ten pro-
fessonal chair coolies one horse and few
Christian men from Sun Chum to carry the
baggage.
This amount was decreased on the jour-
ney as coolies gave out or deserted and
their loads had to be abandoned. BY the
end of the second day this force had d.
minished to nine men, two OF whom acted
for the rest OF the trip as chair bearers
leaving seven men and the horse to carry
what was left of the baggage The mis-
sionary walked and his riding donkey was
pressed into service as baggage carrier"
