WASHINGTON, September 1l.-Mr
kurino, the japanese Minister, talkeI
20 Al Associated Press reporter today
regarding the new treaty between
Japan and kores- He said
ave have nothing but the an
n0uncement OF the treaty, but my in
ference from its terms Is that IL viii
prove highly advantageous TO Korea,
In Korea has existed, under Chinese
auspices, the most corrupt system Oi
government known. The constant
intrigues Of China have been s threat
70 the peace OF the East. The japanese
Government has desired the settle
msnt OF this question only for the
peace OF the East. IL has been entirely
without expectation OF territorial ag-
grandiZemeut or exercise Of suZerainty
over Korea. With the assurance OF
autonomy 70 Korea, which is the de
sign OF this treaty, there will be al
opportunity for great Improvements
in her system Of government, inter-
national administration and other
affairs Already she has advanced
from the condition Of the rule Of an
idividQsl Influenced by China, aud
has a Cabinet OF six members and q
Prime Minister, 10 whom the ruler
looks for advice and guidance. This
change wSs made under advice Of the
JauGuese rzpresentAtiye at Seoul
NJ. kuriuo said he did not think
the step could be called q step toward
3 pesceful settlement with China, a.
China was tenacious on sentimental
grounds Of her claim OF suzerainty.
China might. he said, have put an
end 70 the difficulties being settled
nov, by consent 10 some improve
meuts in Korean affairs. Improve
ments in the government and institu-
tiOns in kOrea, il would be admitted,
would require foreign advisers and
counsel0rs, and these might be
japanese or other foreigners. He did
rot admit that the termination of the
present treaty, by making peace with
Chins, could open the way for q re-
vival OF Japan's old claim of suZer-
Sinty, which he said Japan had ex-
pressly reliDquished. and would put
herself in as bad s position as China
bv renewing. Korea, under the in
adequate government that China gives
her. he said, "is weak, and other
governments. such as Russia, are con-
stsntly threatening 10 come in and
seize a portion OF her territory and
thuse cause war in the East. A guar
zntee Of her autonomy will guard
sSainst this. All the great powers
viii be interested together in protect
ing her from outside attack"
Gov. NoTthen on LyuchinS.
SAVANNAH, Ca, Sept. Il.-In re
ply 10 q telegram from the New York
W0rIi, a-king his opinion about the
coming Of a commission Of English
men 10 investigate the lynehings in
the South, Gov. Northern wired as
follows:
The people Of this State are quite
able 10 administer their own affairs,
and they sre doing il in full justice to
the negro, as our laws and our con-
duct attest. We have already endured
more outside interference in our local
matters than We will submissively
submit TO in the future. Let these
kindly disposed Englishmen return TO
their own country and prevent by law
the inhumsn sale of virtuOus girls TO
men in high places, hang all such
demons a. Jack the Ripper, punish
IS il deserves the barbarous whole
sale slaughter Of negrles in At
rica by Englishmen who go there
10 tai their gold, supply the neeessi-
ties 70 prevent bread and labor riots
and strikes, which are wholly un-
known 10 the South, feed and give
TO the poor, as DO the
people OF my section, give to the Op-
pressed Irishman the rights humanity
demands, and when they shall have
pulled the beam out Of their own eyes
ibev may with better grace appoint
themselves q committee 10 hunt for
the mote that may be in our eyes.
While We have Irregularities at the
South and negroes are sometimes
lvBched, they are never slaughtered
6v whites. as Englishmen sometimes
destroy them. / send you by mail the
law and record on these matters, and
I challenge not only the English COM
mittee on lynehings at the South, but
I challenge the civilized world to find
4 better. Why come as an iDvestigat-
ing commission to denounee the south
lust prior TO the congressional cleo
rions, when we have just had negro
lynehing in Kansas April 2d and an
other in Ohio on the Sabbath Of April
18th. aud when the white Poles aud
Huns have recently been butchered
in Pennsylvania and negroes run out
Of Franklin Park, y. J, in herds
We challenge investigation by all
persons VINO have the right TO investi-
gate these charges, but any attempt
upon the part Of the English, tainted
by their own national crimes, to ar
rzign Us for trial must be considered
as gross impertinence."
