Korea has fallen to a low estate but
there are Koreans who are imbued
with the life giving spirit of liberty and
it is with a view of forcing upon the
peace commissioners Korea's right to
liberty that Yoon is now being sent to
Washington.
The Koreans in Hawaii have been
here long enough to feel the necessity
of their asserting themselves and this
trip of Yoon to Washington is the
first demonstration of their awakening
He is an educated man speaking ex-
cellent English and it is by no means
far from the mark in hazarding the
guess that his appearance from Ha-
wall to urge the claims of Korea may
yet have an effect in coloring what is
to be the new map of Asia.

STATE FILES BIG SUIT.
Kansas Will Try to Recover $4,000 as
Result of Devlin Bank
Failure.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 26.-Attorney Gen
eral Coleman on behalf of the state to-
day filed suit against the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty company of Balti-
more for $250,O00 and against the Title
Guaranty and Trust company of Scran-
ton, Pa, for 100000. The suit is the
outgrowth of the failure of the First Ma
tional bank of Topeka, a Devlin con-
Germ, in which the state had S547 900
tied uo.
The United States Fidelity and Guar
anty company went on the banks bond
for $2oO,OOO to guarantee the states de-
post. Some Topeka capitalists also went
on a similar bond for 100000 and a
similar suit was started against them
also. In these petitions it is charged
that the bank wrongfully used the states
money to pay off other debts.
The Title Guaranty and Trust COM
pany of Scranton was on State Treasur-
er Kelly's official bond for 100000. IN
the suit against this company it is
claimed that the state treasurer had
money in the bank wrongfully in that he
did not draw it out as soon as the bank
collected the drafts

ADMIT WRONG DOING.
Equitable Directors Say That the Charges
Against Them Are True, but
Dodge Blame

New York, Aug. 26.-The officials of
the state of New York, in their inquiry
in court of the Equitable Life Assurance
society, have been joined by the direc-
tors of the society, who ask for a full
investigation of it's directors and officers
and their alleged wrong-doings in man
aging the moneys of the society.
The document which announced this
determinat ton was the answer of the
forty-nine Equitable directors to charges
made against them in connection with a
suit brought against the society by the
state. This answer was filed with At
torney General Julius NJ. Mayer.
Admission is made that some official
of the Equitable have been guilty of
improper and illegal acts. In all thirteen
charges are answered by the directors.
Among these answers they admit the
$25O,OOO loan to the Depew Improve
ment company. They admit the $685.
600 loan of the Mercantile Trust com
pany, but waive responsibility in this
loan SO far as the board of directors is
concerned and indicate Messrs. Alex
ander, Jordan and Deming as the per-
sons having the most intimate knowl-
edge of these transactions.
AS to excessive and unwarranted loans
to agents. the reply admits tLat they
were made. The consolidation of the
Western National bank of New York
city with the National bank of the Unit
ed States Of New York, by which a
money loss resulted to the Equitable So
ciety and a profit to some Of it's direc-
tors, is also admitted. But the direc-
tors say the responsibility for these loss
es must be divided among those indi-
vidual defendants who directly partici-
pated in or had, or by reason of their
official duties and position should have
had, knowledge Of the transactions"
The table of alleged improper salaries
to Equitable officers, which was en-
bodied in the states charges, is declared
to be true statement of the figures. A
direct admission is then made that these
sums were paid without sufficient vouch-

GERMANY FEARS
CHOLERA SPREAD.
Serious Epidemic Of the
Plague.

Berlin, Aug 2S.-The official Reichs-
Anzieger today says that since August
16 seven cholera cases, three of which
were fatal, have occurred in the WEIGH
sci district, East Prussia Traffic from
Weichsel has been placed under medi-
cal and police control
Cholera Is Spreading.
Dispatches from Danzig say the chol-
era bacillus appears to have spread fur
Their than the health authorities on Sat
has died of supposed cholera in the hos
pital at Brombergand, two laborers Of
Gordon who drank of Welchsel river
water became i'll. One died later, sup
posedly of cholera. Three river men
from Galicia have been attacked, pre-
sumably by cholera at Graudenz.
Fight Against Plague.
Apprehension is felt at Thorn and
BrOmberg and in the small river towns
from the Russian frontier to Danzig,
although nothing like a panic can be
said to exist The medical authorities
are Tightening their dictatorship, multi
plying the stations along the river to
prevent bathing or the use of water in
any form, examining searchingly every
person complaining of the least illness
and are urging all families within the
district to use the recognized precau-
tons.
Fear Danger Is Hidden.
These measures have been effective
enough SO far as Russian territory is
concerned, but the physicians ask each
other what is taking place beyond the
frontier boundary stones. The water Of
the River Weichsel flowing out of Rus
STA is contaminated, but no one knows IT
few or many cases of cholera exist up
the stream or whether proper precautions
are being taken.
Like Our Yellow Fever.
The situation in east Prussia is com
pared with that of the United States and
Cuba in the case of yellow fever cpl
demic, but instead of a wide ocean chan
mel flowing between Prussia and Russia,
the latter's territory is conterminous and
Prussia is quite powerless to enforce san
itation over the border.
Situation at Manila.
Manila, Aug. 2S.-The cholera situa-
ton remains unchanged. Two deaths
among the natives were reported today.

INDICTS CLAUDE THAYER.
Federal Grand Jury Returns True Bill
Against Son of Oregon's For
mer Governor.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 26.-The federal
grand jury investigating the Oregon land
fraud has returned true bills against
Claude +. Thayer, the Tillamook CAPT
talist, son of former Gov. Thayer of this
state, and several persons indicted with
him.
In September, 1899, approximately 100
persons made filings at the Oregon city
land office to enter timber lands III Tilla-
nook county, the lands being situated IN
the famous Mehalm valley. 1t is alleged
that Claude Thayer and his associates
had secured purchaser and that the
profits were to be divided. The allega-
tons of fraud in the affidavits in the con
test which were subsequently filed led
to the order for an investigation. These
cases involve more money value IN tim
Der lands than all the cases which have
been tried so far.

Interstate Rate Making.

One OF the most plausible arguments,
advanced by the advocates of political
ldte-haklng is that if the interstate
efpHAherce commission can determine
ma rate is unjust or unreasonable,
II is equally able to determine what rate
"ouiu o4 9uSt and reasonable. This does
not at all follow
The interstate commerce commission
may De perfectly competent to determine
tnal rate is unjust and unreasonable
Whlle IL is unable to say what rate is
Just and reasonable. The reason for
this is that what makes rate uniust
or unreasona BILE, is it's effect unon tho.
commerce of the public. and that is sns-
ceptible of proof and relatively easy of
determination But what makes a rate.
just and reasonable is quite another
matter, and involves, besides the mega
tive proposition that it shall not impede
or impair the commerce OF the people.
the very important and vital affirmative
proposition that it shall give the carrier
his full legal compensa ton, as we'll as.
that no rate shall be imposed upon him
lnat VIII impede or impair his CONNER
ca! prosperity.
Inc Facts are that all rates are So
closely nter-related to other rates that it
would not be possible for the Interstate
commerce commission to Law it's hands
on single rate or set of rates without
upsettlng and disturbing hundreds IF
other rates. 1t is as impossible to limit
the alternating power, either of the
COMMISSION or the carrier to the pre-
scribed area of a single rate or
set ct rates, as it would be to
confine the influence of a pebble,
thrown into the water to a less number
OF circles than the physical force of it's
displacement would produce
II would seem much more logical So
luton OF the situat ton to confine the.
commission to what it can do, rather
than impose upon it something that it
cannot do. If the law empowers the
COMMISSION to condemn rate, and
gives it ample machinery with which to.
compel the carrier to speedily and eff
fectlvely adjust the rate to a basis that
is just and reasonable, the means will be,
provided for doing something which it
being made to do something which in its
own very nature cannot be done.

Readfeld. Me-, Aug. 26.-Three per
sons lost their lives early today III a
fire which destroyed the MaranacoOk no.
tel at Lake MarancoOk.
Five other persons were burned or
otherwise injured.
Believed to Be Boston People.
The hotel management believe the
bodies are those of Mr.. and Mrs. j. H.
Martin and child of Boston, for the rea-
son that all the other guests have been
located and the bodies correspond with
their description.
More than four score guests and en-
ployes escaped in night attire, many of
them leaping from the windows. That
there had been loss of life was not
known, until a search of the ruins dur
ing the forenoon revealed the charred
bodies.
List of Those Hurt.
The injured:
Robert Boutwell,, Maiden, Mass, a hotel
clerk, burned about the head and hands,
mrs Mrs GeGrge H. a1 BoStGn
w. j. Maxwell, Brooklyn, N. Y, ankle
sprained
The fire, which is supposed to have
been caused by a defective chimney,
spread rapidly through the two and one
half stories of the wooden structure.
Clerk Boutwell, discovered the flames
and rushing through the corridors
aroused all the guests. In doing this,
however, he was seriously burned and
later while attending to the guests III
the cold air of the early morning, con-
tracted a severe cold which, it is feared,
will develop into pneumonia.
None of the guests saved their per-
sonal effects and many of them were
unconscious by the time they had
reached the open air. Nearby cottagers
provided clothing and shelter for the
guests, and physicians summoned from
Winthrop and Readville attended the
burned and injured.
The hotel was built twenty-seven
years ago and was owned by the Maine
Central railroad.
Capt MacMahon Perishes.
Erie, Pa, Aug. 26.-Capt. Patrick
MacMahon of the yacht Mystic was
burned to death and eighteen persons
were almost suffocated in fire that
started on the third floor of the Charles
Beck block early today.
The flames were seen bursting from the
front windows and when the 6remen ar
rived they found eighteen occupants of
the building asleep and almost dead from
suffoca ton. 1t was with difficulty that
they were finally got out of danger.
When the room of Capt MacMahon
was entered he was found on the floor
dead, the body partially burned.
The fire started in MacMahon's room
and was probably caused by him leaving
a lighted cigar stub on the floor when
he retired.
Capt. MacMahon was prominent in ma
rine circles and was recently distin-
guished by receiving a medal from Con-
gress for rescuing man who was
drowning in the harbor
The monetary loss by the fire was not
heavy

week of the fight of yellow fever began
today, and with the hope that the crisis
is past the fact that there are only 1919
cases under treatment and many of
them of the lightest character, being es-
pecially significant. In the 81 cases in
the preceding twenty-four hours only 5
were Italians, and there We're only
cases reported from the originally in
fected Italian quarter. The marine hos
pltal service has now a man in touch
with every infected point outside of New
Orleans.

Southern Pacific runs, has fresh fright
and has cut off all passenger communi-
cation with the rest of the state. Re

preparations were being completed for
the disinfection of every church and
meeting place in New Orleans.

of lectures here, speaking nearly every
night. He devotes the daylight hours to

Fever in Mississippi
Natchez, Miss, Aug. 2S.-Like thun-
derbolt from a clear sky came the report
this morning of SIX to ten cases of yellow
fever in NatcheZ. There was no prelim-
mary announcement of a suspicious case
Five of the patients are negroes and they
are convalescent. Another is a Jewess,
Mrs. Eisenstein, whose case is regarded
as serious All of the cases are in the
northern part of the city.
Begin Desperate Fight.
Every house in the neighborhood has
been screened and fumigated while a cor
don of quarantine guards has been estab-
lished around the infected quarter A
marine hospital service surgeon has been
sent for to hold a conference as to meth
DDS of treatment and procedure to pre-
vent a spread of the fever Depopula-
ton is recommended.
1t is thought that the fever was
brought from New Orleans, but there are
several gaps in the chain that is being
traced and no positive declaration will be
made.
The fever was here in 1898 and prac-
tically confined to one section of the
city. The first case that year was re-
