LUNGS HAVE BEEN INJURED No Kfforts Made to Discover Corean Phil, but Inquiry Will Be Marie Japanese Angry With Assusslna. . SAN FRANCISCO. March 24. Durham V. Stevens, the Foreign Adviser to the v'orean government at Seoul, who was shot anil seriously wounded by a Corean mi the Ferry siution in this city yester ihijr nioriilns. Is resting easily at the 9t. Francis HuNinlal . nu California street. Reports (luring the day wyre favorable to lils recovery, but lie has not yet been luoiiounced out of danger. His tem perature continues normal anu nis res piration remains tfood. While the attending surneona professed to he more than satisfied with Mr. Stevens' condition, ay nip to ma have de veloped. It was said at the Japanese Con sulate, which indicate that one of the bullets penetrated the lung cavity. A consultation was held this afternoon at which It was decided to make an X-ray examination of the wounds tomorrow to locate the bullets. No steps to Prove Conspiracy. Mr. Stevens received the following lal'learam from the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs today: 1 am profoundly pliockeii to learn of the iloaiardly attempt on your life and am .u.M.msly awaiting for reassuring nes of our speedy recovery. In the meantime, the Japanese Onnml-Oeneral at Ssn Franclaco has been Instructed to offer you any assist ance In his power. Neither the local police nor the Fed eral authorities have taKen any steps towards ascertaining" whether the at tempt upon Mr. Stevens' life was the re sult of a conspiracy among the local Coreans. Chief of Police Biggy expressed the opinion that It was the work of two factional malcontents and that no plot to murder the Diplomat existed outside of these two. one of whom Is in the city prison and the other lying at the Ine Hospital with a bullet through his right lung as the result of the poor aim of his accomplice. It has, however, been pretty well established that at least four Co reans mere concerned in the plot. Harry B. Mofltt, In charge of the Se cret Service t if lice, said that he had re ceived no instructions from ashlngton to make an Investigation into the at tempted assassination and United States Attornev Kobert T. Devlin was of the opinion that it was a matter for the lo cal police. Japanese Angry With Coreans. While, the local Coreans. of whom there r several hundred, as a colony have generally Ignored the Japanese Consulate here, which represents mem as eu the Japanese, this la the first time that nv signs of Hostility nave Deen annwn. The attack upon Mr. Stevens Is resented aa much by the Japanese nera aj If tha attempt had been made upon one of their own countrymen. D. I Richard son, Foreign Secretary to the Japanese Consulate, said: The coreans are represented by the Jap anese Consulate. They have been accorded the same treatment as citizens of Japan. While they have seldom reported at the Consulate, our relations have always been cordial. They have been given the benefit of the charitable work of the Japanese benev olent organisations and practically have every privilege that the Japanese have, so far as this Consulate is concerned. A large number of cable dispatches and telegrams were sent and received at the consulate during the day. It was ad mitted that a thorough Investigation would probably be made. Nature of Stevens' Wounds. Dr. F. S. Zumwalt, who made a very careful examination ,of the wounds of Mr. Stevena, said: "One bullet entered just below the right shoulder blade and penetrated the right lung. The other entered near the pelvis and narrowly missed the spinal cord. We know the spinal cavity is Intact, from the fact that there have been no signs of paralysis. Nor is there any evidence that the bullet entered the -abdomen." The attack on Mr. Stevens la said to have been instigated by a manifesto of General E. Yle Yin Lung of the Corean Righteous Army calling on all Coreans to unite and do their best. to kill all Japanese, their spies, allies and bar barous soldiers. This document arrived on the same steamer as Mr. Stevens. Bullet Pierced Right Lung. Dr. Zumwalt at the St. Francis Hos pital made the following statement in regard to the condition ot -Mr. Stevens: The patient is doing as wen as we could expect of one in such a critical condition. One bullet passed through the right lung, but no attempt will be made to locate It for several days unless a hemorrhage should take place. In that event we shall operate at once. The pa tient is recovering rapidly from the shock." STEVEN'S SISTER PROSTRATED Her Husband Leaves to Co to Bed side of Wounded Man. WASHINGTON', March 24. Mrs. Joseph I. Porter, of this city, a sister of Mr. Stevens, has been prostrated since she re ceived word of the attempted assassina tion and Is under a physician's care. Mr. Porter, accompanied by an unmar ried sister of Mr. Stevens, will leave here tonight for San Francisco to go to the bedside of the wounded man. NEWTRAP FOR RUEF Heney Will Try Him for Park side Bribery First. CLEAR CASE AGAINST HIM that $1,116,000, the aggregate amount upon all his Indictments, was exorbitant.

Heney caught the organized rorces of the graft defense by surprise today, when he announced in court that he would proceed to the trial of Abe Ruef next Monday morn ing in the Parkside bribery case. The Impression had gone abroad that Park side cases had been relegated to the rear. Mr. Heney has gained a great tacti cal advantage by this move. In these cases Ruef is accused Jointly with the officials of the Parkside company of having agreed to bribe the Supervisors and ex-Mayor Schmltz to secure a trol ley franchise for the Parkside Transit Company. Vmbsen Admits Giving Bribe. J. E. Green, W. I. Brobeck and G. H. Vmbsen. of the Parkside Company, are Jointly indicted with Ruef. The evi dence shows that Umbsen gave Ruef $1.",000 on account, and wag to have given him $J5,000 more, but the graft prosecution began before the second payment was made, and cheoiked the negotiation. When called before the grand Jury, Vmbsen made a complete statement of the transaction. So im pressed were Mr. Heney and the grand Jury with his frank statement that an understanding was reached by which it Is understood that Umbsen will re ceive immunity. Ruef Between Two Fires. Ruef will thus be between two fires. Vmbsen will testify that he paid Ruef the money and the Supervisors will state that Ruef had promised the coin. The cose will be the most complete against the former boss. A fiTther advantage Ilea in the fact that Ruef was arraigned on this charge after the Immunity contract was annulled and he. has already pleaded not guilty. There appears to be nothing to prevent a speedy trial. It Is believed that Ruef will be of fered Into custody when the case be gins, even If he should secure bail In the meanwhile. Louisiana Primary Law Void. NEW ORLEANS. March 24. Louisi ana's state primary election laws were today declared to the unconstitutional, null and void by Judge King In the Civil District Court here. BURNING OUT PEORIA DRYS Fourth Incendiary Fire in Day Marks Liquor Campaign. CHICAGO, March 24. The fourth fire of supposed Incendiary origin In Jollet within 24 hours occurred last night, and, like the three fires Sunday night, seemed to be directed against one of the leaders of the local option fight. The fire oc curred in the plant of the Illinois Match Company, which Is owned by Colonel Fred Bennett, the leader of the "drys. The fire last night, whicn followed the fires in the Ruby Grain Elevator, the Leach windmill plant and the Hardy ma chine shops, started in the drying-room of the match company's plant within 10 minutes after the night watchman had passed through his room on his inspec tion tour. The loss was comparatively email, but 200 employes in the factory will be thrown out of work for a month. This fact led to a crowd of angry work men making threats if the incendiaries are found. A number of arrests have been made. Protest Against Japan. PEKIN, March 24: The British mer chants of Tien Tsln and Nleuchwang have sent strongly worded protests to the British government concerning the course pursued by Japan with regard to the Tsinmintun-Fakoumen Railroad.

WILL CONTINUE CONCERT GERMANY'S NAVAL PROGRAMME PURELY DEFENSIVE. Prince von Buelow, Reviews Moroc can and Macedonian Situation in Speech Before Reichstag. BERLIN, March 24. Referring to the Moroccan situation in the Reichstag to day. Chancellor von Buelow declared that the Algeciraa act was equally bind ing upon all the signatories. France had had no occasion up to the present time of reproaching Germany with a narrow Interpretation of this agreement and It was not the Intention of Germany to change her views; but In return for this Germany expected France to carry out and observe the terms of the act in a peaceful and friendly manner. Referring to the Macedonian situation. Prince von Buelow said the effort of the great powers concerned to extin guish the conflict has been rendered futile because fresh fuel was continually being thrown on the fire from the out side. The foundation of the trouble did not He In strife between Christianity and Mohammedanism, but in the bitter struggle between the various Christian nationalities in the Balkans, each of which sought supremacy of interests and would try, in the event of the downfall of the sovereignty of the Porte, to se sure the greatest possible amount of Turkish territory. "I hope and believe." the Chancellor said, "that the European concert will be maintained, and I understand that this same feeling prevails in the other cabi nets, where the slight differences of opinion probably soon will be over come." During the remarks of the Chancellor he said he regretted that he was unable to give the contents of Emperor Will lam's letter to Lord Tweedmouth, First Lord of the Admiralty, which had created such a stir In England. He said this communication was purely private and the assertion that it was an at tempt to Influence the naval policy of Great Britain was absolutely without foundation. "The purely defensive character of our naval programme, In the face of the at tempts to Impute to us aggressive inten tions and plans towards Great Britain, cannot tie repeated too often or too sharply," the Prince declared. "We de sire to live at peace and in quiet with Great Britain and we therefore feel bit terly that some British publicists should Continue to talk of the 'German dan ger.' " Chicago Allows Merger.
