Nov. iS i, Rhimes was wedded to Miss Samantlia Bengal, and the divorce court aunulled the marriage April 14, 18aa, his wuY temper being the basis of his petition.

Un tian. 5, 1887, Rhtin.es found peace of mind in an alliance with Miss Lavina (Straw, but again the divorce court recorded the old story of domestic infelicity. I

Miss Anna Rowland became wife No. 5 aifd peace and happiness reigned for upward of a year. April 5, 1889, Rhimes was again divorced, and ou July 14, 1890, tried it again, Miss Sarah Overtree being the bride. Two years later the husband secured a divorce on the plea that his wife had attacked him with a pair of scissors.

Miss Rachael Magnum was next wooed and won, their wedding taking place March 23, 1893. He was divorced from her Sept. 8, 1894. Rhimes repented of the action and on March 25, 1895, ho again married Miss Magnum, who was his last and eighth wife. They quarreled, but the court refused the much-married husband a divorce, while Rhimes is determined to secure a decree and he has gone to Michigan to acquire a residence, where he will seek to annul the tie.

patches—Advices to Minister Kurino.

NEW YORK, Oct.. 15.—A special dispatch to The Herald from Seoul, Corea, says:

The palace was broken into Tuesday morning by a body of Corean troops and a band of soshi in civilian dress. The colonel in command of the troops, on refusing to enter the palace, was killed and a number of the palace guards wore slain. They entered tho queen's room and killed the queen, the minister of the household and three women. The borlies were taken outside and burnf^l.

The Japanese troops were at the palace, but took no part in the proceedings.

Tai Won Kun, the king's father, reached tho palace soon after the assault and assumed the chief authority. He is now dictator and is said to have been in the plot. The pro-Japanese party is in control. Many of the queen's party have been arrested and many more have lied. It is believed that the queen dowager was killed and I that the king will be forced to abdicate. Guards from the United States warship York town and a Russian cruiser have been ordered up. It is thought that the butchery wiil hasten action on tho I part of tho Russians.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—Information oi the formidable uprising in Corea, resulting in the disappearance ami probable death of the queen and the landing of military forces by the United States and European powers, has been received by Minister Kurino of Japan from the foreign office at Tokio. It is quite sensational, indicating the landing of marines by Russia, the United States and probably Great Britain.

The latest dispatch to Minister Kurino states that a force of Russian mari lies, 40 in number, has been landed. Thus far they have confined themselves to guarding the Russian legation at Seoul. United States marines were landed from tlio York town to the number of 10. It is believed also that British marines have been landed. Besides these the Japanese have a considerable force of soldiers at Seoul who have been preserving order.

The dispatches come from Tokio and communicate the substance of dispatches received from General Muira,

trio aj-aiK *.-iC dited froil 1 tile inn to the 12th inst. It appears from these dispatches that the trouble had its inception through the queen's dislike of the newly organized soldiery of Corea. The old soldiers had the primitive equipment of the far east. But with tiie progress of Japanese influence in Corea two battalions of Corean troops were organized on modern methods. Each battalion numbered GOO men, armed with modern weapons. They were well drilled and officered.

The Japanese government, the dispatches further state, has acted quickly 011 the reports, and has appointed a commission to inquire into the facts I In the nio:«ntime it is emphatically donied that tne queen's death, if it has occurred, was due to the Japanese, 1

One report, is that a Japanese soshi 1 killed the queen. This is not yet con- 1 firmed in the dispatches here. The of- 1 licials say that the soshi are an irre- I sponsible and lawless class ana that their acts can not be lam to the Jap- 1 anese people or government.

General Muira's reports also cover the 1 work of Japanese troops 111 preserving 1 order.

Those

troops were stationed op-

posite the palace, having secured the I place

vantage sometime ago through I

the Corean government. They fcnok no part in the attack on the palace, but 1 after it had occurred, when the native troops were fleeing and the new 1 talious were enforcing their success capturing the palace, tho Japanese troops aided in preventing bloodshed and disorder. It is probable that somo deaths occurred during the

utllt

melee,

ji'pl-

lowing tiu.s came the landing or United States and Russian marines, and. as is believed, the landing of the British.

The latest indications are that tiie Tai Won Kun and the kiv.g are in control of affairs at the Corean capital. The king has been the nominal ruler, but the queen has heretofore been recognized as the real ruler. The influence of the king and the Tai Won kuu are distinctly favorable to the Japanese.

At the Corean legation 110 word has been received from the disturbed capital. The officials are much exercised and do not doubt that the queen has met her death, although they are not ready to abandon hope. I11 case official confirmation is received there will bs such formal ceremony as is usual 011 tho death of a sovereign. The legation will go into mourning, but there is not likely to be a funeral service, although this has been considered as a further murk of respect.
