Viscount Nomura. Home Minister, is the
busiest man in the japanese Cabinet. For
eign affairs, except Corea, demand no i'm
mediate attention and the government is
chiefly occupied in devising measures for
checking internal political agitations. The
methods of Viscount Nomura are far more
sweeping and drastic than any previously
employed in Japan. He is determined tina
no newspaper shall continue to assail the
administration for alleged failure to sus-
tain the national dignity in the recent
difficulty with the three European powers.

by the parties in opposition, with a view

the present disposition of the Japanese
Ministers of STATE. some OF whom are be-
ginning to look upon the regeneration of
Corea as a hopeless undertaking. The Jap

viction that the feeble monarchy must not
be abandoned, and would denounce the re-
hnquishment of the original project as a
surrender to Russian dictation.
Count Inouye declared the japanese resi-
dents are to blame for all the existing
i'll feeling in Corea. The Japanese behav-
Tor toward the natives, he says, is simply
intolerable. and he does not Wonder the
Chinese are better liked. AS TO the Corean
government he has little fault to find with
ITS reluctance to institute. speedy reforms.
Home Minister FAX, who has been accused
of especial hostility to the Japanese, is
praised by Inouye as having done nothing
but his duty in resisting extravaganr de-
mand for impossible privileges.
