Russia VIII Occupy Korea.

A special dispatch from st. Peters
burg says that an exchange of COM
munications has occurred between the
Russian government and the Japanese
minister at st. Petersburg with refer
eLce to the recent disorders at Seoul,
the capital of Korea. 1t is added that
the Japanese minister assured the
Russian government that the culprits
would be punished. But Russia is said
to have replied that she would be
forced in consequence of the riots to
take the steps considered necessary to
preserve order and to make the Korean
government independent of foreign
interference. As to the course pro
posed, Russia will do her duty, what
ever is entailed, without stopping to
inquire whether other powers like it or
do not like 1t. She win never abandon
Korea, and will protect her against all
encroachments.
This simply proves what has long
been surmised, that Russia desires to
secure control of Korea that she may
have an open port on the Pacific coast.
IL is true she has Vladivoostoclx, but
that port is frozen up half the year
and what Russia desires is such har-
Dor as Port Arthur, and it looks as
though she was going to get IL.
