NO ACTION BY Z. S. LIKELY.
Consul General SammOns Free to
Act According to His Judgment.

Washington. July 2O-since the transfer Of
Mr.. Morgan, the American Minister, from Seoul
TO Havana last year the State Department has
had no direct diplomatic representation in Corea.
Japan having assumed control OF the foreign re-
lations of Corea, Ambassador Wright Is sup
posed TO give some attention to that country
but this he has done in most cases through di-
rect conference with the officials Of the japanese
foreign Office.
Since the present crisis the State Department
has had only few rather vague and sometimes
conflicting reports from the seat OF trouble.
Consul General Sammons reported from Seoul
yesterday the demand for the Emperor's re-
tirernent, but at that time Ambassador Wright
had nothing confirrnatory in Toxic. Mr. sam
mons has not since been heard from, and
he is without any specific instructions from the
State Department. He is said, however, to be
q man Of resources and experience, and capable
of dealing with any situation which is likely
TO arise.
declining TO accept the japanese offer Of pro
lection. Mr.. Samrnons is justified by precedent
and sound practice, so long as he is satshed
that there is no reason TO fear for his own NE
or for the safety Of the property and records or
the American consul general. which, indeed, he
&c expected TO guard himself to the last mo-
nent OF safety.
As there seems to be GONE apprehension in
certain quarters that the retiring Corean En-
r,eror may eraeavor to find asylum in the
American consulate general II may be noted that
there are ample precedents for the granting Of
an application OF this kind. It has been done by
American diplomatic and consular officers in
Chilli and IN Peru and in Central America, and
even as late as 1905 Minister Sill afforded asy-
IIrn in Seoul itself TO some Of the friends Of the
Emperor whose lives We're imperilled. What
course Mr. Sanrnons would pursue were such
an appeal made 10 him would depend entirely
upon his own judgment
AS far as the State Department is concerned
Il is evident that not only is there disposition

ITO'S POLICY.
japanese Report Of Circumstances
attending AbdicatiOn.

rolio Jn,z- oO-The following, 1t is said, was
the gist Of the conversation between the former
Emperor Of Corea and the Marquis Ito at the
audience granted to the latter on Thursday.
The Emperor asserted his ignorance Of the
dispatch Of the deputation TO The Hague. The
marquis replied that he had not come to ask
the origin OF the authority for the deputation.
When the Emperor asked Marquis Ito's opinion
regarding his abdication Of the throne, the latter
is said to have answered that the affair was one
purely for imperial consideration in Corea and
matter on which no foreign subject could
pass judgment
The Emperor then requested TO have the Co
reans who were illegally acting at The Hague
punished through the agency of Japan, but this
the marquis said could not be done. for the
reason that they were in Holland. The marquis
then turned to other subjects and retired.
The Corean Premier. Vi Wang Yang, subse-
quentIy informed Marquis Ito of the Emperor 8
abdication, requesting him at the same time to
inform the powers
The Minister Of Justice Chan Chung, then
verbally explained 10 Marquis Ito, on behalf of
The retired Emperor, that his abdicauon was
solely his own initiative, and not the result
Of any outside pressure. It was the only pos
sible action, he said, the part Of the EN-
peror. who had had the plan in mind for ten
years. In reply 70 both ministers. it is believed
that Marquis Ito said nothing definite. Accord
ing TO Corean usage abdication Of the throne
means a total transfer Of the ruling power TO
the successor, leaving no room for any future
interference by the administration.
The Minister Of Agriculture, Son Phyong
Chun in conversation with The Associated
Press's representative, said that he could hardly
bear the idea OF advising his imperial master Of
the necessity Of abdIcaton, but in view Of the
gravity Of the situation, involving national dam
ger no alternative left TO him.
Should Japan, he said. not rest satisfied with
what had been effected, and make any unjust
cd n offer the most
obstinate resistance.
Reports from Seoul say that four machine
guns are now at the Taihan Gate. Should the
Corean soldiers repeat yesterdays behavior by
firing on the japanese police. the japanese
troops will not hesitate to retaliate.
II is noteworthy that despite the press news
Of the abdication Of the COrean Emperor, the
oficia! report has not yet been received here.

AMBULANCE TARDY: DIES.
Baby Erpires in Doctors firms
Waiting DELAYED Vehicle.

While waiting for nearly an hour for the
transfer ambulance from the Kings County Hos
pltal yesterday afternoon. the patient. Frederick
Moeder. nine months old. died In the arms of
DR. Cahil. of the Bradford Street Hospital
There was more than half an hours delay in
sending the county ambulance TO meet the other
ambulance. and this delay was increased. II is
said. by the telephone operator at the main in
stitution getting the call for the ambulance
confused.
DIR. Cahin got the call from Woodruff Canarsie
avenue. and when he found that the child was in
such a serious condition asked that he be met
at the usual relieving point by the ambulance
from Kings County Hospital When he arrived
there. according TO the police. there was no re-
lieving ambulance. and his horse was unable to
go further, being overcome by the heat and the
long trip. The child grew worse rapidly and
was soon gasping out his life. DR. Cahin took
the baby from the ambulance and placed him in
the shade of a group of trees. The physician
worked over him for three-quarters of an hour
but when the relieving ambulance arrived the
child wac dead.
The situation at the Coney Island Reception
Hospital was relieved on Friday. when one Of
the county stan sent down TO take the place
of DR. Moore who had been on duty from 8 a. m
without chance TO eat. II is obligatory on
the hospital to keep two surgeons there over
Saturday and Sunday, and DR. Cone was trans
ferred from the Bradford Street Hospital 10 as
sist DR.. Moore.
AS result of the investigation into the short
age OF interns at the hospital by Commissioner
Hebberd Superintendent Fitzgerald is said to
have telegraphed TO several distant cities for
more men. Following up Commissioner Heb
herds determination to investigate the charge
made OF lack of attention at Kings County
Hospital and conditions at the overworlSed Re-
ception Hospital. there was hospital inspector

regiment for Seoul leaves only eight hundred
japanese troops in the province.
The shops at Seoul have been closed now for
thirty-six hours. To-day the crowds are greater
and the native spirit is higher, calling for a
greater show Of military force. as the people are
encouraged and infamed by the several killings
OF yesterday. General Hasegewa has placed
two machine guns in the palace square.
Not only IS the Corean army regarded as i'm
potent to cope with the situation, but the num-
bers Of japanese troops are wholly Inadequate.
Arran gements have been made for reinforcing
them from Shimonoseki
Hostiities are directed wholly against the
japanese. Other foreigners are safe. Much ap-
prehens!on is felt for the safety Of Japanese at
interior places when the Corean masses learn, as
thev will in few DAYS. Of the abdication.

Later, the witness said, he and Steve
Adams left together for Park City,
Utah, where they worked in The
mines.
Three women related experiences
with detectives, Citizens Alliance
men and the military in Cripple
Creek. Margaret Houghton was or.
the relief committee and furnished
food to families of deported. miners.
She was, she said, twice notified by
the Alliance that she must stop or
she would be sent out Of the district.
She did not stop.
Mrs. Saunders conducted room
ing-house, and was told, she testified,
that she must not harbor union men.
She refused to be coerced, and her
house was ra ;ded and all the men
were arrested. Then her lease was
abrogated and she was compelled to
move.

David Coates, former Lieutenant
Governor Of Colorado, testified
that Orchard was introduced to him
under the name Of Hogan by Geo.
A. Pettibone, of the Western Fede~-
alton, in Denver, in July, 1905.
Coates was then publishing labor
paper in Wallace. Orchard, on learn
ing that Coates lived in the Occur
G'Alenes, said his name was not Ho-
gan, but Orchard, and sent his COM
pliments to his old friends In the
Hercules Mine. He called on Coates

said he was ga wandering pauper";
that his old companions had struck
it rich, and that if it were not for
Steunenberg he would be rich. He
then said he could kidnap child
&C Paulson, one Of his old Hercules
friends, who had become rich, and
write a letter asking that 100000 be
left with Coates for ransom. Coates
asserted that he threatened to de-
nounce Orchard for his kidnapping
plan, whereupon Orchard laughed,
and witness thought that he was
merely joking. Orchard afterward
borrowed $500 from Paulson, and
made arrangements with Coates to
go to Los Angeles to sell stock in
mines Coates was organizing. o.

before the Steunenberg murder, and
witness received a letter from him,
dated Salt Lake, in which he wrote
that he was sick and had been de-
