2artment 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

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 mob of natives
attacked and partially destroyed the
car. The operators of the car would
have been injured had it not been for

riot would have occurred
Although there have been previous
reports of disturbances in Korea, this
is the first mob attack made thus fal
on property of Americans. The rail
road Is owned and operated by Amer
leans, H. r. Bostwick of San Francisco
and H. Collbran of Denver being iti
principal owners. 1t runs through the

FIRE in A TWENTY
STORY BUILDING

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Fire in the TWEEN
ty-story Masonic temple yesterday,
caused a panic among the 1000 occu-
pants of the building and damaged the
stock and fixtures of tenants to the eX-
tent Of 100000.
All occupants of the building escaped
without serious injury, through the
bravery of the elevator men, who re
NAMED 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 employe
into 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
the heat reached them. Robert Fried
lander. senior member of the firm. re-
allied the danger from these tubes and
worked until overcome by smoke,
throwing them out of the window
The fire spread rapidly from the
packing room to the other rooms and
in few minutes the entire suite rs
on fire and the light shaft of the build
ing was filled with flames.
The large building was emptied with
in half an hour after the fire was dis
covered. Hundreds of men and women
CROPPED their way through tht smoke
and came down the stairs.

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.
S. 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 a 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 ar
excellent furnace coal, judging from
the samples which have been brought
in.
1t is understood that the vein was
cut at depth of less than fifty feet
and it is twenty-five feet wide, indicat
ing that the field is of great extent. Mr.
Rhodes has Denver associates in thu
scheme.

that it was recognition of the de fac

No River and Harbor Bill.

The House committee on rivers and
harbors decided that there should be
no river and harbor appropriation bill
at the present session OF Congress. al
though few surveys may be author
lied.
In explanation of the postponement
of a bill until next session, Chairman
Burton made the following statement:
1.-The main reason for this action
was the very large balance appropriate
ed for river and harbor improvements,
which is now lying in the treasury I'M
expended. This balance at the end Of
last year was somewhat in excess of
$50 900, 900. In addition to this it is ex-
pected that $S,000,00O or Whereabouts
was appropriated at this session in the
sundry civil bill for the continuance
of work on rivers and harbors where
improvements are progressing under
continuing contracts.
"A considerable number of COM
plants have been lodged with mem
bers of the committee because OF slow
ness in prosecuting improvements. In
some cases appropriations were made
several years ago. but nothing yet has
been done. In others which were pro
vided for in the bill of June, 1902. the
work is scarcely commenced. The in
adequate number of government eng1-
neers engaged in this branch of the
service, the delay and difficulty in pre-
pairing plans and securing sites for
government works. and the high prices
which have prevailed for several years
past. are all, in different degrees, res
ponsible for this delay
