friends that could possibly be made, and lie
had many friends not only in his own
country but in Japan. Other outrages and
insurrections led Japan to interfere osten-
sibly to protect her interests and she called
upon China to assist but the latter country
refused. 1t seems that Japan has prece-
dent for landing troops having done so in
1882 and again in 1884. There can be
little doub. that Japan really intends if ro'
to get SUI arainty of Corea at least to protect
her business possessions, which if allowed
to progress as hitherto will eventually con-
troll the Corean government. 1t is also evil
dent that tChina sees her suzerainty of the
little peninsula threatened in either event
and is willing to fight. The United States
is party to very extraordinary treaty with
this little Corean government, which gov
Ci No O SoIiPoA od'Ciy SoAhiy
This treaty puts it in the power of an in
discreet secretary of state to implicate the
United States in a manner contrary to our
policy. In this connection the first article
of the treaty may be of interest:
"There shall be perpetual peace and
friendship between the President of the
United States and the King of Corea and
citizens and subjects of their respective
governments. II other powers deal un-
justly or oppressively with either govern
ment, the other will exert their good Of
fees, on being Informed of the case, to
bring about an amicable arrangement, thus
showing their friendly feelings"
Russia also has an interest in this coun-
try, the principal reason being that it is al
ready engaged in building railroad across
Siberia and would like southern terminus
such as Corea might offer. If either Rus
STA or Japan get control, Coreas condition,
which is little above barbarous, will be
changed for the better.

Monthly pay for jack tars in the navy
is matter not likely to meet the ap-
prevail OF executive officers, as Jack
ashore with money in his pocket is still
an uncertain quantity. The proverbial
helplessness OF the sailor ashore has made
the navy department take a highly
paternal attitude toward the jack tar,
with the result that he now comes home
from a cruise with some hundreds of
dollars in the paymaster's hands The
navy department acts upon the theory
that the common sailor may desert at the
first opportunity. The exactly opposite
theory is held as to the commissioned
officer, for he is permitted before starting
on cruise to draw two full months pay
in advance, and if the paymaster be good
natured or weak an officer may manage
to get even further into the debt of the
government
