TOXIC, July 20 (afternoon)-Re Reports
from Seoul state that four machine
guns are now at the Taihan gate.
Should the Korean soldiers repeat yes
terdays behavior by firing on the
Japanese police, the Japanese troops
will not hesitate to retaliate.
1t is noteworthy that despite the
press news of the abdication of the
Korean emperor, the official report
confirming the same has not yet been
received here.
SEOUL. July 2o.-The city is now
under military patrol. A heavy rain.
following the outbreak of yesterday,
was largely instrumental in dispensing
the crowds. All traffic has been
stopped and Japanese shops are
guarded.
The police report that twenty-five
Japanese were killed and wounded in
yesterdays rioting. The casualties
among the Koreans are unknown.
An official Japanese report ascribes
the shooting yesterday to Korean sol
diers who could not be controlled by
their officers.
The abdicated Emperor sent by the
minister of justice a long apologetic
message to Marquis Ito to the effect
that he regretted that his ignorant
subjects had caused violent commotion.
He therefore relied upon Marquis Ito to
take measures necessary to prevent fur
ther trouble.
Marquis Ito called on General Hase-
gawa to take military charge of the
city.
The troops have been offered for the
safeguarding of foreign consulates in
Seoul.

It seems that many of the mid-win- ter evening costumes are prophetic of the fashions that are to bloom in the spring., for many of the evening ef- fects will be later utilized and devel- oped in the spring novelties. Popu- larity of the striped pattern is exem- plified in the use of striped chifons and gauges for the newest evening gowns. Yellow is being emphasized at the preesnt time and much develop ment may be expected along these lines.
 In speaking of evening dress, we are reminded of the temptation which comes sometimes to wear such dress under the impression that 1t will look smarter than the ordinary walking costume. The evening dress, when brought out into the daylight, has a fatal habit of betraying its secret, un- less it be some evening dress of dark velvet which has by providential fore thought been supplied with two bod ices. But to fill up decolletage and imagine it will not reveal the fact is to write yourself down amongst the optimists born to be deceived.
 It would seem that silks are tremen- dously in favor. and it is whispered that the early spring time will see the cloth costumes busted from the priv ilege of being regarded as fit for after noon parties and weddings.
 Speaking of weddings, we are re- minded that the young girl may have the satisfaction of falling back upon her summer attire for suitable gown in which to attend. provided it in cludes white cloth coat and skirt, and she can by some means possess herself of white fur boa and nun, and a white fur hat, or black or brown hat, she may rely upon her youth to carry the day with grace and appropriateness.
