Korea will be smooth. 1t is felt here
that the commotion among the popu-
lace of Seoul is not actuated by a
spirit Of true loyalty to the retired

the club last night by the mention, in
a discussion, Of the rumor that there
are at present one hundred men actu-
ally at work upon the ditch and tunnel
which are projected to tap the Lara

yironment and facilities were only sui.
ficiently known and advertised. PEG,
pie from all over the east, where the
warm weather SO sadly interferes with

summer school or Chautauqua that
would offer the advantages that they
seek.
Two Nice Features.

toned the fact that the fair grounds
here, which are used only for a few
days in the year, would furnish an
ideal place for a camp and for meet
ings and lectures, while the Laramie
