The latter possesses the chief mineral
wealth of Korea. Gold and iron and coal
are found there; no one knows in what
quantity paying or not. though the former
seems to be the better warranted opinion.
Rice, cotton, beans and silk are the staples.
Tea is not used or grown. Tobacco is as
siduously cultivated. Korea is probably

FAIR CHANCE OF BRING UNMoLEsrED,

Especially if he be an Englishman or
American. There may be disturbance to-
morrow there may never be one / think
that shortly after the withdrawal of foreign
troops all will be quiet and orderly. One
more question What do the Koreans
think of the japanese? The answer is
simple. They hate them with an undying
hatred. Three hundred years ago Japan
ruined Korea-ruthlessly killed thousands,
burned all the large cities, laid in ruins
every ancient building and temple, wan
tonly destroyed every work of art, paralyzed
every industry in the land. Korea has
never recovered from that shock. The
Koreans to-day recite the story of their
wrongs with cheeks pale with revenge and
fists clenched with anger. To-day the Ja-
panese treats the Korean with brutal scorn
and violence. There is but one testimony.
One days visit to Korea will show scenes
of brutality of japanese toward Koreans
that make one long to play Moses with the
rascals. | came near doing SO myself to a

And held in abject subsection. They do
much of the work. There are no schools
the parent being the sole teacher. Poverty
is well nigh universal. Bulls of heroic
mold and small ponies are the means of
traffic as well as the backs of men. The
food consists of beans, rice and meat. The
Korean is a beef-eater. and will devour
more meat than two Englishmen if he have
the opportunity. Dogs are also eaten.
Those who live along the coast subsist
mostly on fish diet, though the Korean
boat is so poorly constructed and the Ko-
rean so bad sailor that very little deep
sea fishing is practiced- Hence the Chi
nese who inhabit the opposite shores of the
Yellow sea are the gamers, for in seasons
when the herring frequent the Korean
shores they come over in numbers and
carry away quantities of fish. Little can

THE CITY OF SEOUL PROPER

Is inclosed by three walls one within the
other, and has q population of about $780,
Geo. 1t is finely situated in an elevated
valley, quite encompassed by high hills
and mountains. Sanitarily considered the
situation is admirable. At present the city
is filthy in the extreme. The middle Of
each street is the common sewer, and were
it not for the kindly rains that sweep away
the accumulated vileness, Seoul would be
unbearable. As it is every senseis insulted
continually as one passes along the streets.
One IS impressed with the absence of com
mercial activity in Seoul, with the poverty
of the shops and the holiday air of the PEG
pie. Most of the houses are mud novels,
well described in Griffis' excellent work, by
far the best issued-so say those who know
best, One forcible impression made on
my mind was the admirable conditions for
improvement. With comparative ease Sc
oul could be made as sweet and clean as
any American city.
AS to the country the south is more
largely populated and more fully developed
than the north Water power abounds The
three chief provinces, are, first, the prov
ince in which Fusan is situated; second,
Chulla Do; third, Pennyyang Do.

long. The rope was tied about the handle
six inches above the blade. One man had
hold of the handle and fixed the blade in

emo of the. rope, making five men in all.
At given signal all four would give

A VISIT TO KOREA.

PRESSIONS OF THAT LAND.
A Superb but Indolent People DOM
mated by Their Ancient Con-
querors, the Japanese.

An American who recently visited Ko-
rea, and writing TO his native land, speaks
of the far away island as follows:
Fusan is small Japanese settlement at
the southeast corner of Korea. 1t is one of
the treaty ports, and possesses very fine
though not very extensive harbor. Lofty
hills inclose the bay on all sides. Indeed
the chief objection to Fusan as a port lies
in its well-nigh complete isolation ON the
land side, the range of hills rendering
transportation to and from the interior
rather difficult. Otherwise, this city is
key to two of the most populous and rich
provinces in Korea. 1t is absolutely safe
as place ofresidence, having known moth
ing of the disturbances which have so ter
riied foreign residents at Seoul. By direct
line, Fusan lies about fourteen hours run
from Nagasaki. Chemulp, Inchiun. Jeu-
ciluan, Niusen, or Jinsen, as it is variously
styled, lies about forty hours Of steamine

here. 1t serves as the port for Seoul. which
lies twenty-five or thirty miles distant. To

vices The China mail says to the news of
the anti Chinese warfare in the United
States has created very dangerous anti
foreign feeling in Canton, and fears were

LONDON, April 7.
The Standard wants opponents of home

rect negatives, and to display on the earliest
occasion, the strength OF the opposing forces.
Any delay, ii says, will serve to strengthen
Gladstone's hand
The Times says that a desperate effort was
made at Tuesdays meeting OF the cabinet, to
prevent discussion, and that the effort sue

the proposal to yield the control of customs
to the Irish Parliament.

LABOR TROUBLES,

Railroad Yards and Drive Back u.
=. MaTshais-The Situation Becoming
Serious.

ST. Louis, Mo-, April 5.
The quiet state of affairs which has existed
in East st. Louis Tor the past week was sud
denly broken, Wednesday, by riot A
large crowd of strikers, numbering over 1000
men, formed about ~ o'clock at the relay
depot and headed by leaders of the strikers in
that city, marched to the Ohio and Mississippi
railroad depot, where number of platform
men were at work
No guard of police or deputy sheriffs had
been stationed there and the employees were
easily forced from their positions. Thence
they advanced upon the Vandalis yards Here
few deputies were on duty who ordered the
men back. They refused and made a rush
knocking the officers down and swarmed
through the gates into the yaIds and forced
all employees at work out of the wards.
From this place they marched to the C. B.
and z. yards, where a similar scene was en-
acted and all employees forced out. The men
then rushed on to the Chicago and Alton
yards, and upon arriving there were met by
strong torce of deputy marshals. armed with
Winchester repeating rifles. They ordered
the mob back and called upon them to dis
pcrse. This the crowd refused to do and up
on attempting to rush through the gate, the
marshals brought their rifles to their shoulders
and threatened to fire if the crowd advanced.
This cooled their ardor somewhat and they
turned back none the less determined, how
ever, that there should be no work done in
that city while the knights of Labor are still
on their strike. The deputies remained on
guard at the Alton yards fearing second at
tack upon that point, while the strikers pro-
ceeded to the Cairo short line wards.
Upon arriving there the mob found their
way unobstructed and by the same employed
at other yards forced men the at work there

coupled with the right of fishery on the
colonial coast, was surely running American
fisheries. Fully convinced of this fact the
fishermen OF the northern coast demanded an
abrogstion Of the treaty OF 1870 ~ far as il
related to fisheries. Congress responded
promptly BY ordering notice Of abrogation and
the treaty ceased to operate last July. The
President had the misfortune TO be so misin-
formed as to propose a convention with Great
Britain on the subject, but the indignant re-
monstrsnces of all those interested has been
so potent in reason and so sound in founds-
non, that by common consent the recon-
mendation OF ne President has dropped out
OF every mans thought This bill proposes
to enact very outrage, fear of the possi-
oility OF which aroused the indignation Of
the whole New England fishery interests,
without distinction of politics. 1t does more.
Ii proposes TO give to Canada for nothing
what the Dominion is longing to pay high
price for. The bill proposed by the majority
could hardly afford to have in it so striking
an example of the folly of theories which
pays no attention to existing facts.
Pan Electric Telephone Investigations.
Gen. Joseph +. Johnston, commissioner Of
railroads, was examined by the telephone in
vestlystion committee to-day. He said he
was one OF the original six stockholders in
the Pan Electric Co., and had joined the COM
parry upon invitation of Senator Harris. His
associates paid nothing for their interests,
but were TO do what they could to put the in
struments in use, and the method adopted
was by selling State rights. He never heard
of the sale OF Pan Electric stock by any of the
holders except Rogers As "A matter of COM
mon honesty his associates thought the stock
should not be offered for sale until it proved
of value. If the stcck had been put upon the
market before the success of the company be-
came assured, the purchasers would have been
swindled. Ii was not until long after the Or
gsnizstiun of the company that they heard Of
Bells broad claim to the art Of telephony,
and the Pan Electric Company we're not aware
of any infringement where territorial rights
had been sold; if that had been known no
rights would have been sold Witness was
very sure the idea of using official influence
to further the interests of the company had
never been thought of by his associates.
