PROTESTS EFFECTIVE
KOREANS FORCED TO GIVE REP
kRATIoN TO AMERICAN.
Result of Minister Aliens Vigorous
Efforts Sustained by the De-
partment of State.

Tho discourteous treatment of American
residents of Pengyang by Korean OFFICIALS
was the subject of a dispatch to the Secre-
tarv of State from United States Minister
AM, at Seoul several months ago. The
minister said:
..I regret to have to inform you of my

ranted conduct on the part of the governor

Secretary Hay, in his reply to Minister
Allen. said: These cases justify vigorous

are accordingly instructed to make such
concentrations until proper satisfaction

subsequently Mr.. Allen reported that
with those instructions l was able to
move the foreign Office to do its utmost
in the matter, and. after frequent strong
teleeran hic instructions from the min
lister for foreign affairs. the governor Of
PenRyang finally paid over the 100 yen

mission.

receipt for the same. 1 was sorry for
this. and so informed Mr.. Hunt; yet 1t
seems that the matter had better be
dropped with the payment.
The minister for foreign affairs says
he fears he can do no more and that pay
ment by a Korean in such a case is a
greater admission of guilt than an pol
osy. Also. the Americans inform me that
the result has caused the practice Of
squeezing to almost stop at Pengyang."

HARD 10 GET CHANGE
GUATEMALA ARRESTS CHINESE
TO FORCE THEM TO GIVE UP.
q. s. Minister Combs Tells of an In
stance Where He interviewed
in a Chinaman's Behalf.

1t appears from the diplomatic correspon-
dence Just published by the State Depart
ment that Mr.. Leslie Combs United States
minister to Guatemala and Honduras. was
specially commended by the State Depart
ment for his course in pressing all meri-
torious cases Of outrages upon the Chinese
to proper settlement
One of these cases acted upon by the
minister is described by Minister Combs in
the correspondence as follows:
"On February 10 Ton San Lon. Chinese
merchant. reported to me that upon Sunday,
the 10Th instant. a boy. Isow Hip. in charge
of his branch store at Jutiapa. had been ar
rested for refusing to give an officer small
bills for $4,000 In bills Of the denomination
of 500 each, the officer Offering him 10 per
cent premium for the exchange. which Is
about the current rate in Guatemala. Ton
San Lon DECEASED he did not have that much
in small bills and to give up such small
bills as he had would destroy his ability
to make change for his customers and
therefore paralyZe his business.
Il went to the minister of foreign affairs
and requested that he investigate the case
and, II he found 1t to be as represented. to
direct the Immediate release OF the China
man from prison.
The Demand for Change
The minister of foreign affairs called
upon me the next day and informed me
the man had been released. but defended
instead OF apologized for the act. He de-
clared the Chinese merchants would gather
all the small bills up and send them to
Guatemala for SALE and suggested that
advise them to cease doing this and to
furnish the officials with change when call
ed upon. replied that had advised not
only the Chinese but Americans to be con-
siderate In doing all they could to accom-
mOdate the government officials during
these difficult times, but hoped the gov
eminent would not fail to recognize that IL
the Chinese merchants were in honest pos
session of money. Of any denomination.
they could not legally rightfully be i'm
prisoned for not giving 1t up for equiv
alent unsatisfactory to themselves.
Ton San Lon. reports the officer has
warned his boy that he must furnish 5000.
change, per week or be arrested
THE trouble grows out OF the fact that
one OF the banks, The Occidental. in issu-
ing currency did not go to the expense OF
issuing 1t in convenient denominations. but
put out the entire block. through the gov
eminent, in bills of 500 each, consequent
ly one has to pay about or 10 per cent
to get these bills broken. One cannot draw
ones own money out of the bank except
In even hundreds and then 1t is paid over
In these bills.
Am to understand that should afford
an aggrieved Chinese citizen the same pro-
lection would to an American citizen?"
The Minister Commended.
Acting Secretary Loomis replied to this
dispatch. in part. as follows:
your action in requesting the minister
OF foreign affairs to investigate this case
and In securing the release Of Low Hip from
prison Is approved.

An Electrical ore-Finder.

B. l.. White, an electrician at
present in the employ of the Salt
Lake Tribune, with two companions,
will start March / on a prospecting
tour, in the course Of which he ex-
poets to demonstrate the value of an
electrical ORE finder, which he has
but lately perfected. He and his
companions will go directly to Cali
ente, New, and will prospect the
country lying between that place and
Goldfeld. The Tribune describes the
ore.fnder as follows: In the
White system there are two stations
the transmitting and the receiving.
At the former there is a battery
of six volts, a special form of break
works and a glass condenser. The
current is led through the primary
by an inductor, a special form of in
duction coil having o large core and
very heavy winding in the secondary
circuit. The current now passes
through the secondary condenser to
adjustable parallel spark gaps. The
electric waves generated by this ar
rangement are taken to the earth by
e of two iron spikes driven sew
eral feet into the ground. The re-
ceiving set comprises two similar
spikes connected up to an induction
coil and telephone receiver. By list
ening in this receiver the operator
detects the varying sound waves as
they pass through any ore concealed
ia the earth" The description shows
the simple fact that a current gen
Grated by an attached battery either
does or does not pass freely between
the two electrodes Tor poles) which
are planted in the ground to be
prospected. Whether this current
is impeded by the absence of ore
aided by its presence directly between
the electrode, or broken by the ore
being out of a direct line between
these poles is clearly and surely in
Dictated to the operator in the sound
registered by the telephone re
ceiver attached. In speaking Of tn
operation of bis machine by others
Mr.. White says: ut will, of coarse
be necessary to train mining er
giueers and prospectors in the use {
the instruments and in the c~etectio
of the presence of the eleetrici
sound waves. The whole outfit i
however, simple and easy to wor
and any one who has the most ordiI
airy knowledge Of electricity could
a very short time become entire
familiar with it," Prospecting is,
course, a very inexact science in
present state, and the mining wor
would certainly welcome with opt
arms a system OF r finding whit
could be relied on.
