East, but very beggarly as money maker
Then came the war.
As soon in fact, as the war became 4 GER
tainty in the eyes of Il certain corner Of cur
government, the Nippon government ordered the
Seoui-Fusan Railway Company TO complete the
construction of the line, within the year, 1901:
and backed up the order with the subsidy Of
2200OOO yen and at the same time guaranteed
the . per cent interest on 1O.U00(HO ven And
the line of 216 miles between Seoul and F'usau
was completed on November 10 1904
With the progress of the war, the line was ex-
tended at first with the light military railway
from Seoul to VIII on the Yau And al the
present time, the permanent line has almost re-
placed the temporary and light line. Beyond
the YaIu, men of kuoki have already marked
out the path for the future growth of this line
TO ifaoyang. This will complete the connection
with the Russian line to the north. and with
the Chinese line to the south at Yinkau.
This, then is the trunk line, and the building
of 1t will naturally be the first concern OF Nip
pon after the war.
The Seoul Fusar line passes through The
granary' of COrea through the three rich prov
inces Of keik-Ki (Kyoug- keUi). Chu-Sei
tChyunS-Chyong) and Kei-Sho (kyoug- Shyan'.
It's nifty stations tap almost all the Industrial
centres and distributing points in Southern
Corea. The Seoul Railway Is longer than the
Seoul Fusan by twenty-seVen miles, and hugs
the southwestern littoraI of Corea through
Kokai CIwan-Hai) and Hei-Ar (Phoyng-An)
provinces. The Wiji-Liao-Yarg line is likely to
traverse the hiily country in Western Manchu-
ria This will bring 10 light many promise Of
the mineral wealth of Manchuria Moreover. this
trunk line would naturally shoot out branch
along the Yalu. And the timber trade OF that
district is looked on as one Of the finest sources
of revenue.
There are many people in Nippon who con
slider the exploit; alton of coal mines in Man
churia as of little importance. We produce in
Nippon more coal than we need. More than
once MitsuI & Co have sent coal to America
and sold it at a profit. a very few, indeed, sym
pathiZe with this view, however It is difficult
10 do so for him who keeps in mind the sudden
expansion in manufacturing industry in Nippon
which seems to be almost inevitable after the
Far Eastern markets have been opened 10
her much more extensive scale than here
tofore. AS for the timber trade however there
is no dissenting voice in the whole country
The market for lumber is large; the demand
for IL is, in fact, pressing. The Corean and
Manchurian timber promises to rival that Of
the Province OF Fuchau and threatens the

COPPER MINING, ALSO.

OF late also a certain number Of our people
acquired the control of a copper mine i'll Basan-
no CMasam-po} not very large at the present
time but no prophet seems TO be wise enough
to speak Of its future. IL North kan-kyo-do
(I1am- Kyong-do in the northern portion of the
province there is a copper mine. 1t is called
Ko-san (Kap-san.l The fame Of its wealth has
travelled over all the provinces of Corea- There
has been one drawback to the practical and
profitable working of 1.-THE lack Of transporta-
ton facilities 1t is situated on the upper
reaches OF the Yalu. With the growth of timber
trade on the river It is simply a question of
tinae-and rather short time at that-Whell
the river will be improved TO the highest point
for transportation purposes. At present this
territory is occupied by our army and With
our army there are men whose business is not
only to look after their guns and swords, but 10
inquire into number Of outside matters, and
it Is confidently expected that some wonderful
tales of wealth will come out of the north
For some time to come the Nippon ACTIVITY
in mining will be along the line of the Seoul
VIII Railway, especially in the two Hel-an
provinces (Pyong-an) North and South All the
more active will be the work of exploiting gold
in the northern half OF the empire-which is
the CHIEF nome OF gold mining In Corea-because
the need for gold in Nippon has always been
sorely felt. a gold basis for our monetary sys-
tenn is needed, and more important even than
that is the import trade Of Nippon with Europe
and America, which calls for gold payments.
Corea at no lesurely pace Up 20 date the
Corean miners have gathered only the aliuvial
gold with the introduction of systematic and
scientific quartz mining throughout the country
the world may hear surprising news of copper
and iron beds That would encourage the manu-
of Nippon as nothing else would.

MYSTERY OF THE LENA.

W. Pfotenhauer, acting Imperial
Vice Consul for Russia, in the absence
of F. Klamp, officially denies that the
Lena came to Honolulu for any pur-
pose other than to obtain coal. He
likewise denies that there has been or
is any Indication of mutiny aboard or
that the officers of the ship are loath
to leave Honolulu and go to Vladivos-
tok. He says, on the contrary, that
at the earliest possible moment that
coal can be obtained, the vessel will
sail for Vladivostok. The original
store of 1000 tons of coal would have
been enough to carry her to Siberia
had it been the Cardiff brand which
she will take on here and not the
much inferior, dusty grade which she
actually did take at San Francisco.
tons of this high grade coal when she
has already made a third of the trip,
the consular representative of the
Russian government does not state.
Meantime the captain keeps newspa-
per men off his ship, and her officers
have become as mum as their su-
perior. Some of the crew, in talking
yesterday, were very socialistic

NEW PLAY WAS
WELL PRESENTED

Richard Buffers players presented
Under Two Flags TO IN excellent
house last night.
This drama tization of Ouida's we'll
known novel gave opportunity for the
whole company to appear to good eff
feet There was a Slight stiffness no
ticeable owing to first presentation, but
tonight should see every part played
with perfect ease.
Mr. BUTLER kept his work right up to
his high mark. Miss Heyward's acting
was particularly effective in the second
act. Brenda Fowler fitted the part of
the vivandiere, Cigarette, more than ac-
ceptably. H H. Earl made a good
Marshal of France, and Thos. Lowell
as The Black Hack@was well up.
The play needs to be seen to be APP
preciated, and will meet with as great
favor tonight as last night. The cleo
trical effects We're excellent for a stage
the size of that of the Orpheum. but as
the company electrician, Aten, becomes
better acquainted with the stage, even
better ones are promised.

BODY DISINTERRED
 FOR POST MORTEM

The body of Robert A. Ware, who died about six weeks ago, has been disinterred in order that Dr. Taylor supreme surgeon for the United Commercial Travellers, of which organization the deceased was a member, might make a post mortem ex- animation.
 Dr. Taylor was assisted in his exarnina- ton by Dr. J. D. Heacock, Dr. J. M. Ma son and Dr. Lull. Wares life WIS in- sured with the United Commercial Trav- elers for s630O. and it is understood that Dr. Taylor will recommend that the claim be dsallowed.
 On May 19 of this year, MT Ware was injured in a runaway accident at Car bon Hill He was brought home and carried to his residence in Woodlawn. He was in bed as result of the accident for three weeks, and during that time he was attended by Dr. Heacock. He finally ap- parently recovered, and was discharged as a patient by the physician
 Five weeks later he was taken III with what was pronounced at first to be a complication of pleurisy and pneumonia. Dr. Heacock was in Portland and Mir Ware was attended by Dr. Mason. Later he died and the family put in claim of $6S00 against the United Commercial Tray elers, giving the runaway accident at Carbon Hill as the cause of the death.
 Dr. Heacock stated last night that 1t was his opinion that while lung trouble had probably been the direct cause of the death, he thought the runaway accident hastened 1t. He said that in his opin- ion Ware would have lived longer had 1t not been for the accident at Carbon Hill.
