 The department of state has re- ceived information relative to the re- cent disturbances at Seoul and other parts of Korea which resulted in the arrest of large number of rioters.

Disorders occurred at other points, particularly in northern Korea, where there was reported small loss of life.
 "A telegram received by the depart ment reports that on March 1 2 the street demonstrations had practically ceased at Seoul and elsewhere. and that it was officially announced that only Is per cent of fhe active participants were sChrissianS < that the principal leaders were members of a new political re- ligious society, and that foreign mis- sionaries were not connected with the movement. The object of the demon stration is stated to have been to obtain freedom of speech, right of petition and use of the Korean language in schools, and the correction of other grievances"

 The demonstrations at Seoul and other points were planned to take place on the day of the former Emperor's fu- neral, but after learning that the Japa- nese had ordered gendarmes in from the outlying districts, the leaders launched the movement two days III

MEAT DEALER HURT
IN flight WITHBULL

WINCHESTER, Va, June 27.-Ed-
ward Conner, a local meat merchant,
took the bull by the horns" literal
~, when he suddenly found himself
face to face with a half-grown red
bull in a large field.
There were no nearby fences to
scale, the distance between Conner
and the bull was too short to permit
of escape. and the merchant found
himself in a tight place. He had
thrown many head of livestock, but
the horns of this bull were so short
that he was unable to get a firm
hold, with the result that the bull
got him down.
The dealer was badly used up be-
fore several men, armed with fence
rails and clubs, beat off the bull.
Conner had gone to farm to inspect
some cattle and the young bull wan
dered into the field through an open
gate and was unobserved until within
a few yards of the spot where the
cattle were being inspected.
