In answer to your request to
give nv views upon the Coresn
situation. I would says that Jap
an hiss undoubtedly invaded
Cerea for the purpose of weaken
ing Chinese influence in the
peninsnls and of increasing her
own political and commercial
importance there. Notwithstand-
ing the treaties made With Corea
by the Western Powers. with
Chinas full knowledge aud con
sent, she still and secretly exer-
eises suzsrainty over Corea.
Corea occupies to the Orient
much the same relation that Tur-
key does to Europe. Aware of
of her own weakness and beliey-
ing N the strength of China, she
looks to that power for physical
and moral support. Jealonsies
between China and Japan in re-
gard to Cores have existed for
centuries; the armies of both
countries have often invaded and
fonght upon its territory, and it
has at times paid tribute to each.
When the Western Powers
made treaties with Corea and sent
representatives there Japan had
reason to believe that the CON-
plete independence of Corea was
assured. She had long insisted
that China must yield her claims.
aud had established a legation at
Seoul, With a representative as to
an independent State. China,
on the contrary. with her custom
airy fnesse. evaded the issue and
sent commissioner, without
diplomatic powers. to reside in
Corea, and in all ways continued
to treat Corea as a tributary
State.
This condition has continued
until now. Great Britain has
winked at it because she is will
ing to crafty China and because
1t assures the active cooperation
of that government against the
possible encroachments of Russia.
The other powers have either
misunderstood or ignored the
situation.
There is no question that Corea
would be gladly independent if
she dared to avow. Under this
state of affairs Japan has natural
~ felt aggrisved. She has suf-
fered indignities from the adverse
Influence of China. Twice with
in twenty years her legation has
bean driven from Seoul, the
buildings burned and her citizens
slaughtered The people of
Japan intensely patriotic. feel
that these wrongs should be re-
dressed, and the army aud navy
share in these sentiments. The
government, under the guidance
of able men, is, without doubt,
more than willing that their
country should assert herself.
Ny own opinion is that it will
not be a fight to the finish.
China, as her wont, will resort to
diplomacy, calling upon the
Western Powers to exercise their
good officers. and will probably
force Corea to make concessions,
which for the moment will graft
fy Japan. and thus continue to
keep her clutch upon the Sick
Man OF the Orient.-.S. T. Er.

The following story was related by a
Dardistan man of the name of Ghalib Shah,
residing at "A village near Astor, called Par
ishing He was one night looking out
whether any bear had come into his "trom.
ba" field. He saw that IA bear was there,
and that he with his paws alternately took
II pawful of "tromba," blew the chat away
and ate hastily. The man was blind of one
eye and ran to his hut to get his gun, lie
came out and pointed it at the bear. The
animal, who saw this ran rou1l the blind
side of the mans face, snatched the gun
out of his hand and threw it away.
The bear and the man then wrestled for
a time, but afterward both gave up the
struggle and retired. The man, after he
had recovered himself, went TO look for the
gun, the stock Of which he found broken.
The matchstring by which the stock had
been tied to the barrel had gone on burning
all night and had been the cause of the gun
being destroyed. The son of that man still
lives at the village and tells this story
which the people affect to believe.-Dr
