London, Jan. 22. A special dispatch
from SejuU Core, dated today, say
Japanese railway men hare been at
tacked by Co.-eans at severals points
along the Seoul-Fusan railway and
-that the Corean authorities have been
notified that unless they prevent a
recurrence of these disorders necessary
haner of the ancestral tomb Implied
by foreign domination would be unpar
donable In the eyes, of the Chinese, and
unless a vigorous effort is made to re
assert Mancburlan authority the Tal-
nlncs and Kolashul will attempt to re-
hdore Us Ming dynasty, with the result
of the complete destruction of China.
The correspondent adds that th dow
ager empress ha been Informed that
some of the foreign officers are wining
to give the Mancburlan a final oppor
tunity for rehabilitating themseive
even to the extent of aiding them by
force. It necessary, provided the Man
chu government Is favorable to reform.
Th Russian minister at Pekln. the

rincd that in the event of war China
will be forced to participate, with the
result that the whole world will possi
bly become Involved.

Congressman Humphrey wn th only
number of -the, Washington delegation
supporting the move and Insisted that
Congressman Jones, at least, would aid
hint In the event It waa found Seattle
really wanted th customs house.
Kx-Governor Eugene Semple opposod
any action on the part of the Chamber
of Commerce. Mr. Semple Insisted
that 'vhonever the "customs house fs
removed It will be brought to Seattle,
and he held that the question should
reit entirely with the treasury depart
ment. Mr. Semple argued that 8eattle
should not wage a fight for the head-
quarter ot the customs district, a the
matter at stske was not large
Seattle, while It was ot vital Interest
to Port Townsend and the northwest,
which Mr. Semple stated, would be In
fluenced In a business and political
way. .
M. J. Carkeek took a similar positive
vl-w. and an effort wa made to Imle
finitely postpone the consideration ot
ih matter. Secretary J. B. Melkie,
who had counseled moderation, found

before the coroner's Jury todsy. Neither
gentleman wa disposed to accept the
responsibility In "connection with" de

Power placed the responsibility for

he was but passive In the conduct of
affairs The blame for the fire, he put
upon the employes., who he said, did not
perform their full duty.
When It came turn for Davis to tes

any particular person, but said he had

theater would attend to their business
