Seoul, July 20.-The streets were be-
ing cleared at noon when desultory ri
fle firing was heard in different parts
of the city, presumably by the desert
ers from the Ping Yang regiment,
whose plotting continues.
concentrated effort was made at 2
y. m. today Saturday to murder the
entire cabinet After haranguing at
the Temple of Heaven a mob of 1000
marched a mile to the mansion of
Iwanyung which they sacked and
burned. The same fate was then visit
ed on the homes of the prime minister
and others.
Repulsed by Japs.
The same mob then proceeded to the
home of the minister of war, near the
old palace, but here they were met
by japanese guards. who repulSed the
rioters, wOunding and killing many.
Marquis Ito delayed his arrival at the
emperOr's audience an hour, while the
foreign cOnsuls general awaited. He
approached in great state and with a
heavy guard, especial precautions be-
ing taken while passing the palace,
where the suspected battalion of KO-
rean imperial guards was closely in
termed in the barracks opposite the
gate. The number of machine guns
was doubled, covering all the main APP
prOaches to the palace.
Troops are patrOlling the main
streets of the city in the face of a mob
infiamed to frenzy by students. The
anger of the Korean mass appears now
to be directed less against the Japan
csc than against the Korean minis
tiers, all of whom they have vowed to
kill. The situation appears to war
rant the proclaiming of martial law,
but Ito DESTROYS of avoiding interior
ence except to protect foreigners and
the throne. is exceedingly reluctant to
resort to military rule.
The environs of the American and
British consulates are guarded on ac-
count of their proximity to the palace.

was aroused and ran out, when she.
too, was heard to scream out and say.
'Oh. my children"
Fred Burke, the hired man, who had
been in the employ Of Couple since
February. had arisen from his bed. and
in some way attracted the attention Of
Couple outside, where he shot him in
the abdomen and twice in the head.
Fearing that the mother would get
away, he likewise fired three shots at
her. Not satisfied with this. he dubbed
them until their skulls yer pounded
into a pulp. after which he went into
the house, where the seven children
were crying. and with threats made
them go to sleep. telling them there
we're burglars outside and that their
PARENTS were out watching them. The
Nurderer then made his escape.

Chicago = In the most Sensational
opening in the history q the Chicago
Board, OF Trade, wheat on Monday
shot past the 81 mark. Heavy realix-
Ing sales pushed the price backward
somewhat. but at the close the market
was strong. and, according to the ma
ieri.y of spectators on the board. the
demand upon which the late advance
has, been made, is still unsatlshed.
The net advance for wheat was I
cents for, July and September options
and AZ cents for the December. From
HE low point OF. Monday Of last week.
July wheat had advanced 13x cents.
September has gone up 1sx and In
the December option the high point OF
Monday was 1ex cents shove the low
price of last Monday.
Il was a certainty that . strong
bulge would take place In the wheat
market at the opening. Country or

in an endless stream and in ODE.
dience to them, brokers stood ready to
buy millions Of bushsls 1t the market.
Shorts, were in n highly. nervous con-
/ ditions and wereseager to cover. The
result, was that a soon n the gong
sounded there was . terfiMc roar OF
voices all anxious to buy and nothing
to sell, The market was too big and
broad to be followed with any Ger
ssinty and brokers filed orders ire
Quently z cents away from the point
ntswhfch' they had hoped to buy. The
confusion was SO great that for q few
minutes but little actual business was
transacted. the brokers' fighting and
struggling in the effort to get hold Of
wheat from anybody or at any price
The July options sold, as soon as hg'
ures could be registered ont OF the
confusion, anywhere between SO and
81 cents, which was IN to rs cents

Any Questions.

New York-A portion of the recom-
mendations Of Attorneys Frank b. KEEL
logg and Charles Severance to the
Commerce commission con-
corning the Hartman railroad inves-
tigation has been published here. 1t
reviews the testimony and holds that
railroad competition has been sup
pressed in an area equal to One-th.rd
of the United States; that the con-
tracts between the Union Pacific and
Rock Island for the control Of the Al
ton railway, as we'll as the contracts
between the Union and Southern Pa
cifc and the control of the Illinois Cen
trail and the San Pedro road are all in
violation of theSherman antitrust act.
It recommends that the attorney gen
eral institute proceedings to annul
these agreements. 1t also recommends
that there should be new and effective
laws to prevent imitation of securities
and declares that the profits of the
great railroads of the far west are
being used to buy stocks and control
systems in the east instead of build
ing more roads for the development
of the west as they should be.
The Union Pacific was the storm
center of an attack by traders on the
Stock exchange today on the appear
ance of the report of counsel for the
Interstate Commerce commission. Un-
ion Pacific stock slumped nearly 4
points before support was forthcoming.
Southern Pacific fell OF a point, but
steadied with good buying. All rail-
roads holding stock control of other
lines we're adversely affected by the
news. principally Pennsylvania. which
became weak. After the first shock
had passed the market became steady
at the decline.
Washington-The members Of the
commission conferred for an hour over
the report from New York that the
recommendations of Frank d. Kellogg
and Charles Severance had been made
public and then authorized the follow
ing statement.
The commission has no. prepared
q report in the s0-called hartman
case. nor has it yet decided any of the
questions involved in the inquiry. The
whole matter Is still under c~onsidera-
ton and some phases Of 1t are being
further Investigated.
