San Francisco, Cal., March 12.— Letters received from Japan relate in detail thrilling incidents of the recent reyolution in Corea, since which the King has remained under the protection of the Russian Em- bassy. The Government of the country is being brought into Russian hands entirely, and these are actively hos tile to Japan. Russian troops con- tinue to enforce military law in Seoul and its seaport, and it looks as if Russia will remain in charge of af- fairs until the Hermit Kingdom is brought absolutely and entirely un- der the dominion ot the Czar. On the night of Feb. 10, having been informed that riot was ripening to rob him of his life and throne, the King applied to the Russian Embassy for protection, and steps were taken by the police authorities of Seoul, under Russian military direction, to apprehend members of the Corean Cabinet Three of the Ministers, Kim Hong Chip, Yu Kil Chun and Kim Yun Sik, were in consultation at the Cab inet office when the police broke in on them and arrested them by order of the King. They were placed in sedan chairs and taken to the prison, where they were locked up for but half an hour. The police then re- turned with a formal order dismiss- ing them from the Ministry. The Ministers were then dragged from their cells by the police, hitherto servants of the sovereign’s will, and conducted to the entrance of the Police Bureau, where their hands were tied behind their backs and the police began hacking at their necks with short swords. No trial or even pretense of one occurred. Chun’s head was nearly severed from his body. Chip was cut on the neck, the wound extending several inches into the shoulder, and Sik was near!y decapitated. Then, after mutilating the bodies, the new director general ordered the police to tie ropes on their hands and feet and drag the corpses through the streets, taking care to pass in procession the home of each of the dead. While this was being done, the bodies were beaten on their way with stones and clubs by the rebele. The bodies were finally left on the public square for inspection of the populace, minus their heads, which were displayed on poles, and the public, who a few months before had bowed down before the dead as their leaders, quickly proceeded to crush in the heads and eat off the flesh torn from the bodies, which was devoured greedily by both men and women. The correspondent who relates these fearful sights of the night could not, he says, remain to witness the closing scenes of this frightful feast. Watching the Movements. Kansas City World. The competitors of McKinley for the Republican momination for presie dent are perhaps not as inactive or as blind to what is going on as they appear. It would be surprising if Mark Handa, McKinley’s campaign manager, should be able to hood-| wink and deceive Quay and the other! professional bosses, who are natural- | ly pitted against him. It is more} likely they are giving him full swing | at the present time, with a serene confidence that they can bring him up with a short turn in the end. It is stated by those who are watch-| ing Mr. Hanna's movements closely, | that the campaign he is making is more showy than substantial, and that it will turn out that he is mak- ing agreat many enemies for his chief by inyading the states of other | s, Chi- | } preferred, and betore retiring, | | . | |and wasting money buying Southern | politicians of supposed influence who | jwill not stay beught, but who are) always loyal to the candidate who| |buys them Jast. This kind of cam-, | paign is not likely to avail much in | practical results, and gives the can-| | didate in whose interest it is made a bad reputation people me One point in the policy Quay is |pursuing is said to be that having | satisfied himself the anti-McKinley | forces in the national convention will | be able to control the committee on credentials, he will see that there are | contesting delegations from the | Southern states that send up Me- Kinley delegations and that the committee gives the seats to the contesting delegates, leaving Hanna's bought delegates out in the cold. So far, it is said, except Ohio and Arkansas, McKinley has not a single state behind him, notwithstanding all the hurrah that has been made about his sweeping the country. All he has got area considerable num ber of county delegations to some of the state conventions.
