The present minister OF the department.
OF justice in Corea is Mr.. Pom X Sob. who
until recently was citizen OF Washington.
He was appointed to that position about
four months ago, previous to which time
he was residing here with Col. r. E.
Whitman.
He came here ten years ago as an exile
from nFCorea with a price on hfshead. having
been prominent in the revolution OF 1885
which was the origin OF tIeIate war1be-
tween China and Japan. He belonged 10
the liberal party and came under the dis
pleasure OF the queen.
His property was confiscated aud his
family and he were sought for. but he
escaped TO this country, came 10 Washing
ton and made precariuHs living as a
translator OF Eastern languages in the
Bureau Of Education. An Interesting fact
OF his history is that he was assassinated
by the Chinese, which circumstance led to
the outbreak of the Japan-China war.
He has just had appointed as ms assist
ant Jorng Borg Whau, OF the COresln
embassy here.
1t is not generally known fact, but it is
true, that ON the breaking out OF the war
the Japanese government sent money TO it's
legation here 10 send Mr.. Pom h Sob back
with the reform, or revolutionary party
in Corea.
Col. Whitman has recently received 3
very friendly letter from Minister Son in

OF tie success OF his design TO open up
COrea to the world by which II shall lose
its name OF the Hermit Kingdom.
