Seoul. Dec. 3,-The new Young
Mems Christian association building
which was recently completed was
formally opened today by Prince Ito

consul general, read a cordial cable
gram from John Wannamaker, and
Prince Ito opened the ceremonies

station and about one hundred and
fifty looters, men and women, have
been arrested, The last body of
troops, stationed at the cross roads,
the division under General Manuel
Sonaird passed through the city to-
day with their arms, and several heavy
guns, on their way to the north. The
authorities did not dare to disarm
them.
Three divisions were at one time
entrenched at the cross roads for the
purpose Of checking the advance Of
the revolutionists from the south, but
these were greatly depleated by deser-
tions, until there remained only n
fraction of the original number. It
was the detection of the troops that
gave the populace courage to rise
against the president.
II. w. Furniss, the American min
lister, who was charged with having
encouraged Nord Alexis to resist,
makes a strong denial of having in
any way attempted to influence the
president, but he became greatly irri-
.tated over the incident and wished
ITO take extreme measures against M.
CauVin, who was responsible for the
issuance of the proclamation. General
Canal, however, to whom the mat
ter was referred as head of the pub
lie safety committee succeeded in re-
assuring Mr.. Furniss, by explaining
that the charges were a personal one
of Cauvin, and that no one believed
it.

ARREST RECALLS STRANGE
CAREER OF MOODY MERRILL

The arrest of Col. w. NJ. Merrill
in Boston, on the charge of larceny
recalls the strange story of the life
of his father, Moody Merrill who
lived for ten years in New Mexico
after he had fled from charge of
cmbczzlcment in Boston and who be-
came one Of the best known and most
successful and most highly esteemed
citizens Of Grant county.
Moody Merrill was in charge of
trust funds to a large amount in Bos-
ton. He became involved in specula-
tion and the money in his care was
dissipatcd Before his defalcation be-
came known Merrill fled from Boston
and in 1896 arrived in Silver City,
New Mexico. where ne engaged in
mining operations. Later he was Civ
en- a position i'm the First National
bank Of silver city, and by hard work
and ability rose to the position OF
president of the institution and held
the respect and regard of everyone.
All this time he was known as Charles
f. Grayson. the name which he as
sumcd when ne first reached the ter
ritory.
When Merrill disappeared from
Boston il was thought that he had
committed suicide or had met death
in some other manner. and for years
he was regarded as dead man, un-
til by some accident the Boston au-
thoritics were led TO suspect tho Sc
crct which Charles + Grayson had
securely hidden for ten years in New
Mexico where his past had never
been suspected.
GraysOn was arrested and taken to-
Boston whore he confessed his idcn-
tity. He WIS released on bond and
returned 90 Silver city. where ne died
q short time afterward. it is believed
from broken heart. because of the
disgrace Of tho exposure.
For long time the Boston au-
thoritics refused to believe the re-
port of his death. thinking 1t was
another trick by which Grayson or
Merrill hoped to escape.

the ceremony.
Secretary of the Interior James R.
Garfield officiated and there wore ad-
dresses by John Mitchell, former head
of the Mine workers organization,
and by operators and others
Todays tests were made at the ar
tificial mine. The first test was
safety powder, dry fire clay and BIZ
luminous coal dust, the latter plas-
tered on shelves representing ledges
in real mines. The powder was ig-
nited for the blast and did not ex-
plodc the dust. There was a terrific
explosion during the fourth test. when
IL pounds of black powder and 30
pounds of road dust (actual mine

strong and the flames covered the iull
length of the artificial mine. The test
proved the combination to be exceed

and glass hoods chemical chambers
and air bag, designed to render

the operator is surrounded by the
