AFFAIRS IN COREA.

COrea remains the storm centre OF the East.
Not long ago the Queen was murdered ut the
instigation Of the Kings father. Now the King S
father has been murdered. at whose nstgation
does not appear. The King himself. mere
puppet is half a slave to the charms of his
new wife and wholly a practical prisoner at the
Russian Legation The only able and patriotic
men in the Ministry have resigned. Rebellion
is every where rampant. Russian officers and
troops are in full occupation Of some strategic
points, while the japanese remain in possession
of others. Throughout the country at large chaos
prevails. The reforms wrought by the Japanese
last year have been undone and the last state
Of the land Is worse than the first
What will be the outcome Of it all it would
be rash 10 predict. Any day may bring the
japanese and Russians into collision, with forml-
dablc results. 1t Is. indeed difficult to see how
such a collision is much longer to be avoided
Yet both parties are doubtless doing their best
to prevent it. Should 1t occur 1t would mean
war; and that is Just what neither Japan nor
Russia wants at present Both deem 1t inevi
table in the near future. Both look upon Corei
as the cause Of it. and reckon that kingdom well
worth fighting for. But neither Is ready. Japan
is building at an amazing pace one OF the finest

she will be ready to fight Russia is building

caused the death of a man who CHANGED to
be driving over grade crossing just as the

slaughter improbable if not impossible, and
as there were neither gates nor Waterman
at Ivy City the jury awarded damages to
the plaintiff. The full significance of his
verdict does not appear until it is noted
mat Ivy City is without what are known
as the city limits. If the courts compel the
companies to pay heavily for neglected
crossings in the sparsely populated suburbs
what may they not be expected to do
should there be killings on crossings with

Present Street-ExtensiOn.

Anything like wholesale street extension
will not be possible for some time to come:
certainly not during the present session of
congress Action by the Senate District
Committee today commits that powerful
body temporarily to the piecemeal plan of
extension. The committee will endeavor to
md out where extensions are Immediately
necessary. and. having satisfied itself on
that point, will doubtless do what it can to
squeeze I sufficient appropriation out of the
two houses. If Congress will only see to it
that extensions which may be authorized are
on the approved lines. the people of the Dis
trict will not shed tears at the Senate COM
mittee's conclusion conce rning the proper
methods of present stree, extension. We
cannot wait forever on the highway ac..
When that piece of legislation. with it's ac-
ccmpanying bond issue. arrives in i'm
proved and satisfactory shape, there will
be in any event great abundance of street
extension work Upon which it may operate.
