Pierce N, Poole was initiated into the Board of Aldermen this afternoon After the initiation he had ‘to go te Simpson's and redeem his overcoat. Mr. Poole was formerly bond clerk in the District-Attorney's office. He was chosen to-day to represent the Twelfth District in the Board of Aldermen in place of James J. Devlin, who was elected on the Tammany ticket last fall and resigned to become clerk of the Twelfth Municipal Court. The Republicans of the Twelfth Dis- trict protested, through Alderman Good- man, against the choice of Poole in place of Neylin, but the Tammany ma- jority in. the Board tabled the protest and voted him in.

DANGER OF OUTBREAK ALMOST ANY MOMENT. Washington Gets Points from Minister Alien and More United States Marines Will Be Called if Needed. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The only ad- vices received at the State Department to-day from the Far East came from Minister Allen at Seoul. He reports that Corea is in a panicky condition and there is apprehension of a riotous out- break at any moment. The intimation is conveyed that in- terested foreign emissaries are at the bottom of these disturbances, the result of which may afford excuse for inter- vention and the placing of large forces in Corea, thus precipitating a hostile collision between Russia and Japan. It is understood that the matter of re- inforcing the United Statés Legation guard at Seoul will be left to the mutual arrangement of Mr. Allen and Rear- Admiral Evans. The impression pre- vails here that the present force of American marines at Seoul is sufficient for the protection of the Legation Le c and light works, Sta Me: URAL, tea pone beyond this the government here is not marines to protect the Legation. CZAR’S MEN’ MOVE ak NEAR WAR CENTRE, PORT ARTHUR, Jan. 19.—Four thou-| sand troops are to leave here to-morrow ) bound northward. Otherwise city life {s normal and there has been no exodus of families. fs ‘The authorities here state definitely that Russia hes no intention or desire to interfere in Corea, even should Japan continue to land small bodies of troops there in contravention of the existing treaties, as the Russians assert the Japanese are doing, under the pretext that they are only railway guards. | 81. PETERSBURG, Jan. 19,—It is con- firmed from a Japanese source that Russia in notifying Japan of her recog- nition of treaty rights in Manchuria ex- pressly excepted the privileges of for- elgn settlements, and it is further saia that the United States had been inform- ed that Japan was disposed to contest this point, which {s considered. vital, in the exercise of trade privileges. All the new:>apers to-day publish edl- torjals on the mediation suggested and declare such a step is unnecessary. ‘The press generally admits with some irritation that a great victory has been won by American diplomacy in’ Man- churia. There is no truth in the statement cabled to the Cologne Gazette thet Personal interview between the Czar and the Japanese Minister, Kurino, had been arranged. It would be most un- usual for the Emperor to give a per- sonal audience to a simple Mini and it is authoritatively denied such a meeting ever contemplated. SLIPPERY GIN FR CONGRESS i Pure Food Smash in Lobby of} the House Proves Disastrous Until Danger Spot Is Roped Off. , Jan. 19—There was a "pure food" catastrophe in the mem- hers’ lobby of the House to-day. Rep- esentative Mann, of Illinois, who had charge of the Hepburn Pure Food bill n the floor of the House to-day, for- tied himself with numerous samples of pure and adulterated concoctions, bottled and canned, which he arranged on his desk as ocular evidence to mem- bers for the necessity of pure food leg- istation.
