Assassins Seeking a Prlnre. !Cnw Yontl, July If.—The Journal and Advertiser says: "Prince Rule Whs, heir apparent to the throne ol Owen, is said to lie In danger of losing Iti* life. This young Corean arrived in America several months ago, osten sibly fo complete his education in an American college; In reality lie came to avoid hired assassins, who have fol lowed him. Despite the fact that the I'nitesi (States offers to the prince a refuge far more secure than his native country, ho is continually dodging men who are hired by the Corean Pro gressive party, which Is against the present dynasty, to kill him. "The prince is believed to be In Washington at present. The mem Imrsof Ids suite go armed to the teeth. The secret service officers and the po lice vrf Han Francisco and Washington inti, possibly. New York, though this baa been denied, have been instructed to look out for his safety. “The prince is the son of the king by a former union. The queen lias been assassinated, the mother of the young man has been killed, aud others interested in the royal family of Corea have gone to their lust home on ac count of this,youth. “A Japanese secret service officer, at present in New York, who is perfectly familiar with the affairs of Prince Rnie Wha, tells the following story of tile troubles of the voting man: ‘The young prince is a general favorite wherever he goes, uml while in this •ity at the Waldorf he made many friemis. lint he has a marked pe mliarity: he wears the look of a hunted man. Since his birth, in IHN'i, issussins have tried to take his life. rite king, believing be would be safer in the I’nited states than in Corea, scat him here, and he has been fol lowed by two men who have sworn to Tike his life, and If he gets buck to Corea alive it will i>e be -aus-i Corean assassins have lost their running. These would-be assassins ire believed to be in Sun Francisco at present. I loth are Coreuns, although bey pass themselves otf for Japanese. >n<- of them is a round-faced, heavily built man, with a very kindly expres sion of countenance. He is such a l!u •nt Japanese scholar as to deceive •vim the native Japanese, and his mis sion here is not suspected save by the detectives who have been informed of !. He was a fellow conspirator of the unfortunate Kim <> Klum. who was lured to Shanghai shortly before the ►ntbreak of the war between China mil Japan and there murdered by an • aii.isary from the Corean court named Hong, who is now colonel in the im perial body guard and vice minister of jome affairs He lias a double object revenge the death of Ids frl -nd as well is to put the prince out of the way. The would-be assassin was at one lime a cabinet minister of the Corean aourt The prince is in mortal dread it the minister; he knows he is fol owed, but he does not know who is following him. He never leaves off his coat of mail, which is made of the very finest Corean steel wire, except when in bathing. It will- not wltii «tnnd the force of a bullet, but there •s no knife that can pierce it, and it is inly a knife that the princ3 is afraid >f. The cause of this desire to cud •ho career of the prince lies In the dea of the Progressive party in Corea hat the king and ids son are too far ii-liind the times I’ndoubtedly. the ting will lie assassinated before long ud the design is to have the young nan out of '.lie way when this com - j> pa^s.’ UEN FARNSWORTH DEAD.

July 10.—Unique to a marked degree, lieyonil any held for more than a score of years in Ken tucky, ivas the convention which yes terday brought to Louisville the gold Democrats of the state. Many promi nent Kentucky politicians were In at tendance, and there was an almost constant flow of oratory. John (J. Carlisle, permanent chair man. said, in part: "The Democratic party has always been united and strong, when it was faithful to its true principles and courageous enough to contend for them, and always divided and weak when It abandoned them or attempted to compromise with Its enemies. What a contrast between the united Democracy of ls7tl, under the leader ship of Samuel J. Tilden, with Its clear and unequivocal declaration for sound money, a tariff for revenue only honesty and economy in public ex penditures, and thorough reform in the methods of public administration, and the so-called democracy of under the leaderehlp of three (lif erent political organizations, with three separate platforms, demanding the free and unlimited coinage of depreciated silver, the unlimited issue of legal tender paper by the govern ment, the public ownership of rail roads and telegraphs, and the post ponement of tariff reform until the de basement of the currency had been accomplished, and, not satisfied even with these extravagant revolutionary schemes,threatening the industrial and commercial prosperity of the country, the peace and good order of society, the permanency of our institu tions were Imperiled by the covert at tack upon the supreme court und a denial of the right of the government of the United States to enforce obedi ence to Its laws, without first asking the consent of the local officials. There is not a genuine Democratic sentiment in any of those declarations, arid no Democrat is bound by them, no matter how many state or national conventions may indorse them." The sentiment revealed in the reso lutions udopted found the fullest of approbation and their unanimous adoption followed. The denunciation of free silver was tlicir keynote.

Jack Ross, an upper i farm Indian, traded his horse to some j cultus white man for a bicycle. Very Impatiently he waited for the mud to dry up so that he could try his new steed. Finally one day last week he started out to make his first trial. Go ing down by the river, he selected a nice, smooth, grassy slope. After get ting on and off a few times In the usual graceful manner of beginners, he was Anally Armly seated In the saddle, and wabbled around In great shape for a time. But fate was after him. In his wabbllngs he happened to head the machine down hill toward the river. Ho was delight at the pase In which he ran the machine, and did not notice where he was headed until he was about ten feet from the steep bluff, that hung right over the deep water of the river, hut It was then too late. He gave u wild yell, pulled hack on the handle bars, and shouted "Whoa!’’ but to no avail, and at the next Instant Jack and the wheel made a graceful curve und plunged Into the deep, chilly water of the Siletz river. Presently a very wet and thoroughly disgusted In dian crawled unto the shore, dragging a bicycle out after him, and now the wheel Is again for trade, PRETTY GIRLS, THEIR FUTURE.

THURSTON CALLS A HALT ON RECOMMENDATIONS. Th.no »fokln| Plara« llmt Walt Until Aft«*r tho Fall Elootlons—Tlie Work of Auditor Andrew*—Mr. Mor ton’s Legacy to Wilson—No More Vacation* at Present. flonalp From the National Capital. Washington special to Lincoln Jour nal: During the past week Senator Thurston made the announcement that he would make no further recommenda tions for postmasters in stubbornly contested cases until after the fall elections. In explanation of this de termination the senator stated that he believed the result of the election would better enable him to arrive at a oorrect decision as to the wishes of the republicans of the several locali ties. He has been driven to this step by the great pressure brought to hear upon him to name postmasters. There are many local tights in progress in the villages and towns of Nebraska and Senator Thurston has four con gressional districts acknowledging him as their arbiter in naming post masters. Precinct committeemen, ex delegates to conventions and ‘‘promi nent citizens" divide and separate the recommendations of candidates for postoftice honors and where honors are about even in any of these tights Sen ator Thurston is expected to referee the match and decide who shall carry oft the spoils. Tills the senator lias found an arduous und thankless task. Ilia position is somewliut similar to the man who stood bet wen the devil and the deco sea. or the fellow who knew that he was to be ‘'damned if he did and damned if he didn't.” Some disappointed seekers for post offices and other federal positions in other states have been known to take their grievance to tlie polls at the fol lowing election and while it is not thought that tlie faithful in Nebraska would go to such an extent in exhibit ing their wrath, it is thought they will work tiie harder if the postoffice contest in which they are engaged is still undecided. Auditor Andrews of the treasury de partment is devising a system tiy which he will Is; brought Into closer touch with the work of the hundred clerks under his supervision, lie has called for a statement from every clerk as to the character of the work upon which he is employed, tie; amount of work which lie does and suggestions as to the expediting or improvement of tlie business of the office. The statements in turn will be submitted to the vari ous chiefs of divisions witii a call for comment upon the communications and all will afterwards lie carefully tabulated and compared by Auditor Andrews himself. Mr. Andrews lias been led to believe that in times past favoritism lias been extended to cer tain clerks by which easier or less work than that of their associates lias been handed over to them, lie pro poses if possible to correct any inequal ities of this character and to bring tin; office up to tin; highest standard of efficiency. When Secretary Morton first took charge of tlie agrii-ultural department he fonnd a rickety surrey, a pair of passe horses placed at his disposal for personal and official use. Mr. Morton made up Ids mind that a proper regard for economy and for his own peace of mind demanded tlie purchase of a decent-looking rig in which to ride to cabinet meetings and pay official and unofficial calls. After a careful inves tigation of some weeks among the carriage shops in the city he purchased at second hand for the department, a coach which had formerly been the property of the German minister, it was a well built, if not altogether new vehicle, and it had the advantage of being at once cheap and somewhat different from those used by his cabi net associates. Before it left tlie shops Mr. Morton hail painted upon it the familiar crest which decorates his stationery, consisting of a green tree, witii tlie motto underneath “Halit For nearly four years Mr. Morton with hi* colored driver Mason wheeled around the city in this equipage and when lie laid down the cares of office turned it over to his successor.
