VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 27.—Passengers arriving from the Orient by the Tacoma to-day tell of a recent attempt to seize the throne of Korea made by an alleged member of the old royal family, Wang Eui Soo. This patriot or politician has been in exile since his birth for the sins of his fathers. He returned to Seoul on May 2, at once made himself known at the royal palace, and played the exceedingly bold card of declaring himgelf the rightful King. He was arrested, but so unusual were his actions that the court physicians adjudged him insane. He was then liberated, but immediately after rearrested by order of Lady Mo, the power behind the throne of the kingdom. She being an alien, does not share the Korean superstition { | with regard to the sanctity of the weak minded, and decreed that Wang Eui 800 should be hanged. To this he demurred, saying that he did not fear deatfi, but would die by the sword, as was his right as a member of the royal house. Lady Mo finally agreed that it made little difference to her, so long as the claimant for the throne died thoroughly, and he was decapitated. It is asserted on good outhority that his claim to roya: blood was sound, although he could not have pursued a more suicidal coursé in en- deavoring to posse$s himself of the throne. ® | L S Y OREST FIRES RAGING FIERCELY Town of Deer Creek, Colo., Threatened. bR Special Digpatch to The Call. | DENVER, Aug. 21.—Forest fires, which | itis thought were caused by camp fires,are | raging on the foothills near the entrance | | to Platte Canyon, about twenty miles | south of here.

So far as the fail- ure of the effort to place the construc- tion order in England is concerned, I think it demonstrates that the relations between labor and capital there are not sufficient to give confidence to the capi- talist and to induce him to take the risk of establishing up-to-date workshops that would enable Great Britaln to maintain her position as_the first constructing na- tion in the world. “But as Englishmen failed, I am de- lighted that our cousins across thejAtlan- | tic stepped in.
