Pittsburg, Jan. 13.-Higher tempera-

caused an alarming condition of the
ice gorge in the Allegheny river at

and thousands of tons of ice fifteen
inches thick has jammed, holding back
volumes of water that if let loose sud

tition of flood conditions of 1907, when
more than S10,000,000 damage was
done.

watershed back of the gorge makes
the situation more serious hourly and

in public only under heavy guard
The plot was exposed through a con-

Korea. and is considered by the gov
eminent to demand the most urgent
measures on the part of the officials.
At secret meeting of the revolu-

men selected after the supposed FASH
ion of European anarchists. Each
man, the confessor stated, was to
give up his life in order to carry out
his purpose.
1t has been learned that the five
men succeeded in entering the city
and are now in hiding awaiting their
opportunity to strike The fact that
their own lives have been forfeited in
advance and that the danger of death
is nothing to them, adds intensely to
the situation. Every possible effort
is being made to trace them, but max
ing the matter public has undoubted-
ly put the assassins on their guard.
The government officials today fear
that the assassins will postpone action
and simply remain in hiding until the
they can avoid arrest. This phase of
the case, added to the fact that other
assassins, il is said, are ready to re-
place any of the five who may be
captured, makes it all the more SER
ious, as it places the high officials
oft he government in permanent dam
ger of being murdered
The campaign of assassination is
the outgrowth of the struggle Of
Korea to free herself of Japanese
domination The recent agitation of
place OF annexation for Korea has
aroused new bitterness. The heavy
blow dealt Japan in the murder of
Prince Ito has encouraged the Korean
rebels, who are exalted by the belief
that they are fighting the battle of
patriotism and laying down their
lives for the freedom of their country.
