MINERS IN DANGER.
americans in North Korea Ars Be.
tween the Advance Lines of
the Two Armies.

Seoul, March 3L-The American
miners at Unsan. in northern Korea,
and themselves in Il difficult position.
They are between the Japanese armies
advancing On the Yalu IN the first
line of the Russian defense. The out-
posts Of both armies are operating all
around them, and their property is in
constant danger of being occupied OR
destroyed by the scouts of both armies.
Their ability to continue work not
w~ithstanding the outbreak Of HOSTILE
les is dependent upon their strictly
binding their own business and exer-
eising great caution to avoid offending
either Of the combatants. They have
practically ceased sending out any pri-
vate correspondence in fear that some
chance expressions therein might be
construed into evidence Of Partially.
A more serious danger. however,
:onfronts the American mine owners.
Owing to the hostilities all around
them they cannot convey the specie
with which they pay the native en-
ployes from the port Of Win to Unsan.
The Korean government refuses to
furnish a military escort. and as a re-
suit their specie convoy practically Is
held up.
United States Minister Allen is ex-
srting pressure to secure the release
u their specie train. as the delay is
causing embarrassment. The Korean
iaborers will not accept bullion I'm pa:-
nent for their services, while tae> rice
merchants demand specie.

HE'S REALLY TOUGH.
Negro, Stabbed, Had Heart Taken Gu,
Sewed Up, Replaced, and Now
He's About Well.

Philadelphia, April 2.-Three weeks have
now elapsed since Thomas Emerson's
heart was sewed up In the Jefferson hospi-
tai, and there Is still every reason to be-
lieve that the negro Will recover.
The circumstances surrounding this OPP
Grafton made it one of the most remarka-
BILE on record. The patient walke five
squares after a knife had penetrated his
heart, and when the heart was exposed
by the surgeons knife 1t was found that
the wound was large enough to require six
stitches.
Also the right lung had been punctured
and was collapsed. The pleura was OPEN
ed and the blood scooped out. The pleura
was then closed again and the heart. oft
er 1t had been sutured-it was necessary
to take the organ entirely out Of the
trunk to perform the o~peration-was put
back into place without having caused
any interruption Of its functions.
In itself the operation wa rare enough
to be remarkable, but Icmerson's case
developed complications which rendered 1t
moro astonishing. AS a result of his
wound septic nlaurisy set In. and the sur
geons supposed 1t was all over with
Emerson. But his constitution was equal
to this new test. He recovered from the
pleurisy two weeks ago, and after that
septic pneumonia set In.
Although he is not entirely rid Of the
latest ilment. it Is believed that the dan
ger point has been passed. and that In the
course of a few weeks no will be able to
ave the hospital.

st. Petersburg. April 6.-The Russ
'Siedonostis correspondent at the front
says that Russians living In Manchuria
discre1it the Pe]Sin governments OBJ
of the declaration Of neutral
lty. Every Siberian settler and every
Russian colder believes there will be
war with China. The settlers. who are
bitter against the Chinese, as well as
the Japanese, says things must now
be settled once for all, else a few years
hcaee new troubles will arise.
Regarding the declaration of martial
law at New Chwang, an official of the
foreign Office is thus quoted by the
Euvosti:
There is no question OF Russia's
right &c declare New Chwang in a state
ue siege. This is purely an Internal
Russian affair. We need no approval
OF our actions in this, nor will we notice
any protests. if made, which is highly
Improbable. Manchuria was declared
to be the possible scene of war and
wherever our troops are we nave the
right to act as we hin best. We have
a ga'cison at New Chwang and, con-
aeqn.::ly. car take any steps there we
