1 ¥ ¥ * 1 ‘ & OREN SCENE OF BATTLE Steamer from Japan Brings Ad- vices of Insurrection. JAPS BLOW UP CITY GATE Defeat of the Rebels was Complete— . Koreans Attack Lumbermen on : the Yalu River. The steamer Tartar, which arrived at Victoria, B. C.,' June 17, from Japan, brought further advices of the fnsurrection in Korea. At Hongju a force of Japanese with artillery blew up the city gate and rushed the city. Five hundred rebels occupying that place were defeated and Mingchy- ongsjk, the leader, was killed, with many others. The Japanese took the failure of the Korean troops to cope with the insurrection to strengthen their political position in Korea. . Two companies of infantry, with some cavalry and artillery, left Seoul on May 27. They arrived at Hongju three days later and reinforced the two compan- jes, which were already just outside the walls. Nearby villages were oc- advantage of cupied and Hongju thoroughly invest ed before the attack on the city com- menced with a bombardment. The defeat of the rebels was com- plete.” A number escaped and made their way. south to join the rebel force, ‘which was much stronger at | Kangzkyong, where the Japanese set- tlement had been looted and a number of Japanese killed. The rebellion was widespread, affecting several pro- vinces and sporadic ‘outbreaks were reported both north and south.

The coupling between the engine and the first car broke and the engine bumped along the tic for 500 feet before it was brought t a stop. There were 67 passengers ox the train. All were badly’ shaken up and a few slightly bruised, but not one of them received injuries that nccessi- | tated the immediate attention of a physician.

Freighter at Liverpool Docks Blows Up With Naphtha. Nine men were instantly killed and about 49 were wounded as the result of a terrible explosion on the British steamer Haverford of the Interna- tional Navigation Company at Liver- pool, England. The stevedores were in the act of loosening the steamer’s hatches, when suddenly a most violent ex- plosion occurred. It blew off the hatches, rent the docks and hurled dead and wounded men in all direc- tions. Several bodies . were dismembered and the deck resembled the floor of a charnel house. The cargo, consisting of linseed oil cake, in .hold No. 2 and hold No. 3, was soon blazing fiercely. Firemen and police hurried. to the spot and the injured were quickly taken to a neighboring hospital, while the work of searching for further possible casualities proceeded. It is belived that a number of the men taken to the hospital will suc- cumb to their injuries. The disaster was apparently caus- ed by the explosion of a barrel of naphtha. y A report that the explosion on the Haverford 3s due to an infernal machine arose from the finding of a wooden box, .a foot square in one of the holds. This box, which was only partly shattered. . still contained nieces of steel machinery.

TRAGIG END OF THE ANARCHIST Men, Women and Children Are Shot Down in Streets by Multitude at Bialystok. A Jewish Anarchist threw a bomb into a Corpus Christi procession at Bialystok, Russia, killing and wound- ing many persons. In retaliation the Christian at- tacked the Jewish quarter, killing hundreds and pillaging the shops of the Jews. The bomb was thrown from the balcony of a house in Alexandrov street. A Russian clergyman named Fedoroff was among ‘those killed by the explosion. Immediately after the explosion Jews began to fire with revolvers from the windows of the house into the crowd. No sooner had the bomb exploded than the thrower, alleged to have been a Jewish anarchist, was caught and fairly torn limb from limb by the paraders. Soldiers surrounded the house and fired two volleys into the windows. Meanwhile the enraged Christians attacked the Jewish stores in Alex- androw and Suraz streets, demolish- ing the fixtures and windows and throwing the goods into the gutters and beating and murdering the Jews.

In many respects, the gathering was distinctive, for besides King Ed- ward, who was attendeq by Lord Granard, lord-in-waiting, and Captain Holford, equerry, and Mr. and Mrs. Longworth, the company included Cabinet Ministers, political leaders of both parties, diplomats and per- sons of prominence in English so- ciety.

Ambassador Reid escorted the Duchess of Marlborough, with the Duchess of Buccleuch on his left.

LIABLE TO HEAVY FINE Maximum Amount Named for Viola- tion of Act Is $20,000—Ng Crime Is Argued. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway Company was found guilty by a jury in the United States District Court at Kansas City on four counts of granting concessions on packing house shipments for export to the Ar- mour Packing Company, Swift & Co., Cudahy & Co., and the Nelson Morris Packing Company. The four packing companies were found guilty by the same court of having received rebates from the Bur- lington. The conviction carries with it a fine of from $1,000 to $20,000 on each count. Judge Smith McPherson de- ferred sentence until June 22. All counts are practically the same. The case of the Armour Packing Company, on which instructions were read to the jury, charged specifically that the Burlington railway, on Aug- ust 17, 1995, accepted a shipment of oleo oil from Kansas City to Liver- nool at & rate that included a rate of 23 cents-a hundred pounds from the Mississippi river to New York, where- as the regular tariff rate at that time was 35 cents. To simplify the case A. S. Van Valkenburgh, Unifed States District Attorney, and Judge O. M. Spencer of St. Joseph, representing the defendant company, signed an agreement .of facts, which was in effect that the Burlington did contract with the pack- ers to carry their product at 23 cents for the .distance named, or a rate of 49 cents for the whole distance from Kansas City to Liverpool. Halt a dozen witnesses gave technical testi- mony pertaining to the tariffs in ex- istence at the time covered in the in- dictment. District Attorney Van Valkenburgh, arguing for the Government, said it was a plain case of violation of the Elkins act. The Burlington railway had made a contract with the packing companies at a rate of 23 cents a hundred and had continued to live up to that contract after there had been filed with the Inter-State Commerce Commission an amended tariff of 35 cents. Judge McPherson, in instructing the jury, said the Burlington railroad had no right to make a contract for a period longer than the established rate of 23 cents should be in force. To have carried shipments for 23 cents after August 17, 1905, when the tariff was raised to 35 cents, must be considered a violation of the act. FOR TWO-CENT FARES Sherman of New York Introduces Bill Fixing Passenger Rates. Representative Sherman of New York introduced a bill providing that the passenger rate on all railroads in the: United States doing an interstate busdiness shall be 2 cents a mile, effective January 1 next.

Va., when she saw her ‘ittle son across the railroad track in the way. of a team, which had fright- aned at an approaching train. Laying the baby on the ground she ran to the assistance of the older boy. Before she reached him she saw that the baby had crept upon the track and rushing back she picked the paby up, but was struck by the train and so seriously injured that she died in a few minutes. The little boy was.trampled on and fatally injured by the runaway team, but the baby escaped unhurt. No Yellow Fever at Colon.
