Accordingly Count lnouye disregArded Mr..
nh altogether, and came 10 a final and decisive
lt, his aid or interference. He wisely consid-
ed that II would be loss OF time TO attempt TO
scisrei himself TO have no authority on ,ho
lly vital point involved. Count Inouye having
ith credit TO himself, with due regard for the
lnor 81 his country, and yet not without con.
deration for poor, weak Corcs. returned TO
span, considering that the question between
hina and Japan rOuld best be settled directly
'tween the two Governments, without tho inter
,ntiOn OF such eccentric diplOInatists as Mr.
'uh On that question Japan y no sltiUn l. clear
I'd unequiyOcal. She does not seek To gain any
Vantage over China in Corea. All that she
ishes Is immunity and safety for her subjects
that country. She considers that Chlnas
eak and insinCere course with reference TO
lrea menaces the safety not only OF Japanese
II also OF all foreigners in Cora, nnd there
re she demands that China shall definitely an
'unce what her true relation TO Corea il. Tho
nst probable form which this demand will
ke will be the proposal on the part of japan
withdraw all her soldiers from COrea In case {
Q Chinese Government adopt the same course
not, the Japanese Government will doutless
atntain large military force IA Corea and
g danger OF collision Will be greatly increased.
Reports have been CIRCULATED that the speedy
ttlement OF the trouble between japan and [
lrea was due 10 the good offices OF the British
mister at PekinR. These reports are entirely \
FOUNDED. The satisfactory solution of the {
Oublesome questions involved was due en-
ely TO the tact and wisdom of Count Inouys
ii TO the cordial manner in which his Govern 4
