NEW YORK. July 19.-R. O. Pun St

Encouraging reports are received from
leading commercial centers, the volume of
business being exceptionally heavy for
the season and stocks are depleted by the
Usual clearance sulns, providing' move
prompt paymeut and greater confidence
In the future. Buyers are numerous in
the lart;e cities preparing for an active
lull trade, now that the t.Kitcultural out
look Is less uncurtain. Clothing manu
facturers report much new business und
few cancellations.
Dullness In the pig Iron market is nt-t
unusual at this time of the year, but theie
Is little reduction In output and no evi
dence that furnace owners are seeking
business at lower prices. At some of tlii
steel mills there la also more or less Bf-a-onable
absence of new contracts, but
specifications are large on old orders and
the plants that must stop for repairs wtll
not remain Idle longer than necet-aary.
'the most definite evidence that the situa
tion is perfectly sound la the absence of
pressure to find business even at conces
sion in prices. Thus far the Iron And
steel market has avoided this weak tor.u
that is so significant. On the other hand,
producers are confident that much de

are secured, while still moro postponed

COREAN POPULACE ENRAGED
Not So Much Over Enler'i Abdication
as at Japanese.
MAEQD1S ITO WILL GO SLOWLY
Dramatic ferae Enarted at Palace
Warn Mlalittn Made the Fiaal
Presentation of Tkelr
law.
8EOVL, July 19.-Enraged crowds are
assembled at various points throughout the
city and Inflammatory documents against
the Jspanese are being freely distributed,
plvlng rise to a forlorn hope that some
active opposition Is about to begin. Serious
collisions. It la believed, will take place
tonight between the pollee and the rioters.
Marquis Ito Is not likely. It Is thought,
to resort to extreme measures of repression
until all mild means of pacification have
been exhausted. Extraordinary police
precautions are being taken throughout the
city.
It la reported that a most dramatic scene
occurred at the palace Thursdsy nlRbt when
the ministers, headed hy Premier Tl Wang
Tong appeared before his majesty and
made the cabinet's final representstlon In
urging the emperor'a abdication. tils
majesty was In a high state of excitement,
but the premier In the most humble, but
firm tone dwelt at length upon want of
precaution and prudence of the emperor'a
policies hitherto, especially In diplomatic
affairs whereby he was endangering tho
safety of the nation. The premier
enumerated the facts of his majesty's
duplicities, which culminated tn the dis
patch of a deputation to The Hague peaee
conference and forcibly reasoned the use
leesness of the emperor's dlsaTowal of his
relation with The Hague affair.
Deserted hy Rider Statesmen.
Vnable to successfully combat, the loic
of the premier's representation, the em
peror sought a Inst refuge In the council
of elder statemen, doubtless anticipating
their sympathies. The council Immediately
convened. Four elders quickly responde.1
and appeared before his majesty nt 1
o'clock this (Friday morning. The em
peror's disappointment and surprise was
boundless when they unanimously agreed
with the ministers' advice. His majesty's
mind was finally made up and ho con
sented to the draft of an Imperial rescript
announcing his abdication, which was
placed before him for his signature. The
emperor's condition wns Indescribable.
Greatly agitated and perturbel, he signed
the document and the seal affixed amid Im
pressive silence.
A suppressed slsrn from the emperor wns
the only sound which broke the death-like
stillness that reigned throughout the
memorable scene. ,
Briefly, the emperor In the Imperial
rescript of abdication, expresses his regret
that during the forty-four years of his
reign, national calamities have followed
In rapid succession and the people's dis
tress become so aggravated that he deemed
It now time to transfer the crown to the
heir apparent In conformity with ancestral
usages.
Arch Intrisraer Disarmed.
TOKIO, July 19. While much sympathy
Is ex-pressed here for the Corean emperor,
who has retired, the public Is breathing
easier for the sake of both countries now
that the arch Intriguer haa been completely
disarmed. It Is confidently xpected that
hereafter the relations between Japan and
Corea will be smooth. Unqualified admira
tion is felt for the capacity of the minis
ters of the present Corean cabinet In ef
fecting the solution In a. most, aggravated
situation without the shedding of any blood
and in a manner evincing more than or
dinary moral courage.
It is felt here that the oommotlon among
the populace at Seoul Is not actuated by
the spirit of true loyalty to the retired
emperor, but of fear of the adoption of
drastic measures by the Japanese govern
ment toward Corea as a nation and until
the pacific Intention of Japan la fuly un
derstood some agitation Is naturally an
ticipated. The ceremony or abdication, It la ex
pected, will assume the form of a rescript
transferring the throne to the late em
peror's successor. The date for the cor
onation of the new emperor haa not been
fixed. Reports from Beoul are silent on the
action Marquis Ito Is likely to take after
the rescript transferring the throne has
been Issued, but no doubt he will do his
utmost to placate the excited populace.
Emperor la Friendless.
LONDON, July 18 The emperor of Corea
Is without a friend among the governments
of Europe sufficiently Interested In the
status -of the Corean empire to interpose a
ward In hla behalf. His majesty had al
ways been friendly with Russia and the
outcome of the Russo-Japanese war was
a great blow to him. He then looked to
the United Elates for support. When Ed
win V. Morgan, who was American minis
ter to Corea from June 28 until November
, 1906, when the legation was abolished,
refused the request of the emperor that he
take refuge at the legation at the time the
Japanse were pressing the emperor to sign
a treaty giving Japan control of the foreign
affairs of Corea, the emperor of Corea was
greatly disappointed a,nd the final removal
of the American legation was a great blow
and disappointment to him. Almost all
foreigners who knew the emperor consid
ered him as well meaning but weak man,
and his son, the present crown prince, la
not regarded aa an Improvement on his
father.
Former Premier Predicts Trouble.
THE HAOUB, July M.-Yl Sung Sul, at
one time premier of Corea and now a mem
ber of the Corean delegation, whoae
presence at The Hague Is said to have
precipitated "the present crisis In Corean
affairs, was informed today by the Associ
ated Press of the abdication of the Corean
emperor and the forecasts of trouble la
the hermit kingdom as a result. .Yi Sang
Sul said:
"I havo heard nothing directly aa the
Japanese control In Corea prevents com
munication between me and my frlenda
there. The Japanese are capable of any
thing. If they have Imposed abdication,
which In this case means dethronement,
serious trouble soon will occur."
Kelroku Tsuskl, head of the Japanese
mission to the peace conference, said:
"I did not think matters had gone so far.
Generally speaking, we are more concerned
for practical result than for the removal of
the emperor who. even though he haa
abdlcted, will be responsible so long as he
lives for the mischief he has stirred up
against us. Evidently his remaining on
the throne had become a serious obstaole
to the carrying out of our program for the
regeneration of Corea."
COREA TUB PREY OF J4PA!f
Homer B. Halbort Says Nation Haa
Beta Oatraajed.
NEW YORK, July Declaring that
the Japanese control over Core la de
bauching the Coreana and faat tending to
the complete eradication of Corea as a
state. Homer B. Hulburt. for many years
engaged in educational work In Corea, U
here today on a mission from Corea to
bring to the attention of the United States
government and the people of this country
the conditions In Corea under the Japan
ese protectorate. Mr. Hulburt arrived to
day e the steamship Deutschland with
hla family, after a two months' Journey
from PeouL He Kald the sending of the
Corean delegation to The Hague had been
made a pretext by Japan to force the ab
dication of the emperor and so gain
further control over Core.
Mr. Hulbert went to Corea over twenty
years ago to engage In educational work
at the request of the Corean government.
He said:
roreeina In Hopeless) Flla-hi.
"Corean la thoroughly outraged," said Mr.
Hulbert. "over the mjustloes which the
Japanese are heaping upon It, and the
Coreans are angered beyond words. Still
they feel the dread hopelessness of their
extremity. The Coresna look upon the Jap
anese as savages. They are Insulted and
debaucherj, but can do nothing. I have
seen a Japanese boy rush out Into the
street and belabor a Corean gentleman with
a stick and laugh. The Corean could do
nothing for protests tn the Japanese would
avail nothing. The Japanese have seised
their salt works, driven away the Corean
fishermen from their fishing grounds and
taken every form Of profitable Industry in
the country for themselves. The Coreans
will tell you that the Japanese aee striving
to drive them from the country that they
may occupy It for themselves. Japan
wants Oorea for itself and while the gov
ernment at Toklo la openly declaring that
Corea la open for the trade of the world
It Is seeking by every possible secret act
to atd Ita merchants by creating conditions,
which will drive every foreign merchant
out of the country.
"ells Coreans Morphine.
"Japan Is debauching the morals of the
Corenns by ee'llng them morphine In great
quantities. Especially Is this true In north
ern Corea."
Mr. Hulburt said that the accession of
the crown prince to the throne would
mean no change for the better In the In
tolerable conditions. Despair reigns at the.
emperor palace In Beoul, and while the
emperor, who has now abdicated, desired
to create Improved conditions for his people
he knew that he was utterly unable to
do anything. Mr. Hulburt anld the em
peror's last despairing attempt was send
ing a delegation to The Hague to protest
to the nations that the Japanese protec
torate over Corea was Illegal and that
Corea had never acquiesced In Its eeliure
two years ago.
Coreans Are All at Sea.
The Coreans are all at sea regarding the
extreme gravity given the situation by the
Japanese, who regard the offense of the
emperor as unpardonable. Members of the
progressive party from Japan and others
opposing Marquis Ito'a policy of leniency
preceding the arrival of Foreign Minister
Hayashl are now holding meetings. Vis
count Hayashl, it la bellsved, has two mis
sions to fulfill. The first Is to assist Mar
quls Ito to execute the Japanese govern
ment's program In the palace, the second
to consult with him on the Manchurlan and
American questions.
Able Japanese here do not believe that
the question of The Hague deputation is
of sufficient Importance to annul the trip
planned by Marquis Ito to Toklo, and the
sending Viscount Hayashl here Instead of
Yamaxa; therefore, they think that the
purpose of Hayashl was to divert the at
tention of the people from the question of
America, where It is claimed that tho gov
ernment la unable tn get satisfaction and
to placate the nation by aeverlty to the
Coreans.
Coreans Menaced Incident.
Speculation Is rife among foreigners here
aa to the origin of the Idea of pressing tho
abdication of the retired emperor of Corea.
It Is' definitely known, however, that
Marguls Ito was only a silent spectator of
the event and that the Idea originated with
the premier. Marquis Salonjl, strongly sup.
ported by the ministers of agriculture and
Justice, both of whom are strongly in favor
of a life of exile In Japan for the retired
timperor.
Some thougf.t that blood must be shed
before the abdication of the throne could
be effected, but fortunately that expectation
was not fulfilled and the aftermath Is also
likely to prove less serious than present
occurrences at Seoul might Indicate.
It Is believed that the wisdom and re
sourcefulness of Marquis Ito will prevent
the spread of any agitation likely to
menace the general peace of Corea.
Coreans Never Consented.
"Corea never consented to the Japanese
taking control of her territory," contin
ued Hurlbut. "The Japanese caused
It to be reported to the powers that Corea
had acquiesced to the protectorate, but that
la not the fact and it was to protest against
this that the emperor sent a delegation to
The Hague. This led to Japan bringing
about the abdication. The treaty between
the United States and Corea which Japan
guaranteed to preserve will not stand In
the way of Japan's ambition to gain exclus
ive commercial mastery over Corea. Japan
will effect a customs union with Oorea and
unless It is checked Japan will shut out all
industrial competition. The aim of Japan
today is to drive out American and British
trade In Cores. Every one In Corea knows
It and every Englishman and American in
Seoul will tell you of Japan's outrages
upon the Corean people. Had the protec
torate which Japan placed over Corea been
attended by honesty of purpose and the
formation of beneficent laws Corea would
never have made Its protest. But these
protests seem to fall on deaf ears."
Mr. Hurlbut said that he had made a
special trip to The Hague and appeared
before the International club, where he de
nied the reports circulated In Seoul -hat
he had Instigated the emperor In sending
the Corean delegation to the peace con
ference. Bee Want Ada always bring results.

BLOW TO HAYWOOD DEFENSE
Evidence Tending to Show Counter
Conspiracy Stricken Out.
OTHER TESTIMONY EXCLUDED
Orchard's Story of What Pettlboao
Told lllm About Steve Adams
Killing; falm Jampero Held
to Be Improper.
BOISE. July 19. For the first time alnce
the Haywood trial started James McPart
land, the detective, whose name haa been
so often mentioned In connection with the
securing of evidence against the Western
Federation of Miners, was in the court
room today. He had come to listen to the
arguments In the case and attracted con
siderable attention.
Judge Wood announced at 10 o'clock that
he would not be ready to rule on the matter
of excluding certain evidence from the
consideration of the Jury and the argu
ments of counsel until ) p. m. He In
structed James H. Hawley, leading counsel
for the state, to be ready to proceed at J
that time. Mr. Hawley Is not expected to
conclude until tomorrow afternoon. Tho
opening address for the defense will bo
made by Attorney E. F. Richardson ot
Denver on Monday morning. To preaervo
the record, Mr. Richardson again today
moved that the Jury be Instructed to re
turn a verdict of not guilty on the ground
that the defendant Haywood has not been
connected by the evidence 'with the crime
alleged. The motion was formally mado
and formally dented.
The court room was crowded to the doors
when the afternoon session began. Judge
Wood, as soon as he had taken his place
on the bench, began to read his decision aa
to the exclusion of certain evidence. He
announced that his decision was but a
preliminary to the instructions he will give
the Jury at the conclusion of the argu
ments. The most Important phase of the de
cision was that striking out of the case
all relating to the deportation of the miners
from the Cripple Creek and Tellurlde dis
tricts of Colorado. In the first Instance
Judge Wood struck out of the record that
portion of Orchard's testimony relating to
what Pettlbone told him of a trip In which
he had sent Steve Adams to ge.rld of
claim Jumpers In northern Idaho. This mat
ter, he said, had not been connected In any
way wtlh the defendant, Haywood. Judge
Wood then said:
The next question suggested by the court
and argued by oounsel Involved the mater
iality of evidence Introduced by the defense
showing a long series of deportations of
miners and other persons and other acts
of violence Involving the destruction of
property belonging to the Western Federa
tion of Miners or certain local unions
thereof, also as to the materiality of other
evidence Introduced by the defense showing
that the Plnkerton detective agency had
placed its detectives In various local unions
of said federation of miners.
The court suggested the Immateriality of
this evidence before the conclusion of the
state'a rebuttal and advised counsel that
argument would be Invited thereon before
the Instructions of the court were nettled.
This testimony was all admitted on the
promise and assurance of counsel that the
proper connection would be made showing
that some at least of the various acts of
violence testified to by the witness Orchard
were either not committed by the witness
Orchard, or If committed hy him, some
other person or persons procured him to
commit such arts of vlolenre, either of
which defenses were proper and legitimate
defenses. If any evidence could be secured
tending to establish such defense.
Kvldeaee Does Not Connect.
In the opinion of the court no evidence
waa Introduced by the defense even point
ing to or Indicating that the arts of vio
lence testified to by Orchard. If actually
committed by any one, were committed by
any other person or persons than as testi
fied to by the last named witness. Neither
Is there any evidence tending to point to or
from which It might be inferred that any
Individual or any combination of persons
procured any other person toommlt said
acts of violence, If they wer ecommltted,
than as testified to bv said witness. At
the farthest the testimony Introduced would
only furnish a motive perhaps for aome
one else to commit or procure the commis
sion 01 ne various arts of violence In
volved which were testified tn In Khir
Of the state.
Put It Is clear that the motive alone in
third person to commit an
which a party is being tried Is not admissi
ble In the absence of other testlmonir In
some way connecting or pointing to such
imm vyri mn mm inn guilty partv. The wit
ness Orchard has testified mlm'rf.iv u
detail to the circumstances Involving the
' inuiiiiut expiusinn, me explosion at the
Independence depot and other acts and at
tempted acts of violence in the city of
Denver.

There is always more or less difficulty to

An Improvement has been made In the
manufacture of suspenders recently by
which much of this lost labor may be
saved to be expended In a more praise

making each end slightly different from the

THE RUNYAN BANK THEFT
Recalls the Story of the First
DIs; Bank Robbery In
America.
When Chester B. Runyan, paying teller
of one of the trust companies of New York
City, packed over $90,000 In a dress suit
case, he did the one thing In the way of
embeizlement or larceny which no system
of checks and counter checks or swift
tracing of funds can prevent. The actual
grabbing of packages of cash by a sub
ordinate officer of the bank la one of the
two dangers In the way of dishonesty that
cause bank officers especial anxiety. The
other is collusion with some one who has
no association with the banks or trust
companies someone who haa fairly good
standing In the marketa and whose busi
ness Is received unhesitatingly by brokers.
Runyan'a robbery Is in some of the de
tails so like other sudden larceny of bank
funds ' by clerks who Immediately disap
peared that it aeems almost aa though he
must have been familiar with these trans
actions. Tet If he did read them, he must 1
also have read that In every caae, except
ing the recent one of the New Britain
bank officer, the embezzlers were sooner
or later discovered and captured and com
pelled to serve terms in state prison.
Probably the comparative case, with which
a robbery of this kind can be done and
the opportunity for a delay of a day and a
half before the theft is discovered, per
suaded Runyan after he determined to
seise and carry away all the funds within
his reach to select Saturday morning, so
that he might go away on Saturday after
noon, and thus have nearly forty-eight
hours before the robbery was detected.
The first robbery of actual funds In large
amounts, followed by flight and ultimately
by capture, was that of Jeremiah Town
send. He was a bookkeeper In a private
savings bank at New Haven, Conn., which
was established by the father of the late
Judge Townsend, of the United States cir
cuit court. Jeremiah, who was President
Townsend'a nephew, had served In the
civil war, and hla heroism in one or two
battles would hsvs Justified the con
gressional medal. Hla habita were good,
he waa a member of the church, and waa
sealous In Sunday school work.
On Monday morning the offlcfrs of the
bank were aome what annoyed that Jere
miah had not come aa usual to open the
vaults. It seemed to them that if he were
sick he should have sent word. They
speedily learned that he had not been seen
since Saturday night. The vaults were
opened by an expert after some delay, for
the lock had been tampered with, and then
the cause of the absence of the clerk was
discovered. Nearly $400,000 in cash was
missing. There was no trace of the clerk.
The most skillful detective work was with
out results. The only eurmlse was that
Townsend had taken a midnight train for
New Tork. He disappeared as though
swallowed by the sea. At last, through
watching the malls, whereby a letter ad
dressed to a young woman to whom Town-
send was engaged was secured It was
learned that he had taken on the Sunday
following the robbery a sailing vessel for
Cuba, and purposed sailing thence by an
early steamer for Liverpool, where he
asked hla fiancee to meet hlro. promising
marriage at one and then a long tuur.
By the next steamer officers of the bank,
and polios officers as well, went to Europe,
going immediately tu a hotel at Liverpool

first person they met in the lobby of the

afterward found to be sincere. He said
