FEAR OF RUSSIA'S I'LL WILL
Bismar3kians Exercised Over Ger
man Support of England.
IL LIS Urged That Diplomatic Measures
Should BE Taken TO Assure Rus
STA of Friendliness.

Berlin, March 2S.-The result OF Ger.
many's support of England in Egypt as af-
fectlng the relations between Russia and
Germany are greatly exercising the Bis
marckian advocates OF closer entente with
Russia.
The Neueste n achricten expresses fear
that the attitude OF Germany willlead TO a
revival OF the IL will of Russia toward
Germany ana urges The government TO take
diplomatic measures TO suppress the Rus
sian suspicious that Germany is supporting
Great Britain.
The paper adds: " Germany ought TO con-
sistently follow the German policy of
consulting only German interests, which
are opposed to any kind OF conflict with
Russia, which is associated with British
interests" The semi-offcial newspapers
on the other hand, exercise great care in
combating the idea that Germany's action
IN Egypt viii involve "A conflict with Russia.
The Hamburger Correspondent says:
Germany has supported England in Egypt
because her own interests are not touched
in doing SO. Italy is likely TO reap the
benefit of the Dongola expedition, but
will not interfere where German interests
might be injuriouSly affected, or the peace
ful aims of the Dreibund endangered"

NEAR A CRISIS IN KOREA
King Is Proclaimed No Longer to
Have Authority.
End of the Present Cabinet Thought
TO BE Near-Insurgents Adopt
New Tactics.

Toxic, March 13, San Francisco, March
2S.-The state of affairs in Korea goes
FRO mbad to worse.
Politicians in Seoul insist that by taking
refuge in the Russian legation and re-
naming there the king has virtually
Quilted his own domains since the precincts
OF a legation are extra-territoriaI
a similar view is held by the leading
cltlzens or the capital, who naturally see
that very little power of governing can be
accredited to q sovereign and his cabinet
so long as they dare not venture beyond
the shadow OF a foreign flag.
The insurgents In the provinces have
adopted new tone, dictated, of course, by
adherents of the prince parents party. They
say the men by whomthe king was persuaded
TO seek asylum in the Russian legation, are
traitors to the country and must be ex
terminated.
But they also proclaim that all foreigners
must be expelled from the kingdom-an an
nouncement probably intended as a blind.
They have pushed TO point not more than
ten miles from Seoul, and the government
has no troops TO cope with them. The
raising of several new battalions of royal
guards has been ordered, yedict, but money
TO pay them Is not forthcoming, even if
they could be organized, so speedily as to
meet the emergency.
The whole situation, however, is rapidly
growing insupportable and a general idea
gains ground that the departure of the king
from the Russian legation will be the
signal for the downfall of the present cab
met. 1thas been preteXted by the pro- Rus
sian party that the kings residence in the
palace is out of the question so long as
Japanese troops have their barracks in
the immediate neighborhood.
The troops were located there originally
by desire of the Korean government, but
as the japanese authorities have neither
need or occasion TO keep them there, they
are about 10 be removed.
The United States repre- senta tive in
Seoul is winning golden opinions among
the japanese at this crisis. His influ
ence, they report, is steadily exerted in
the cause OF right and justice.

LIBERALS ARE UNHAPPY.

Not Satisfied With the Gathering of
the National Federation.
London, March 2S.-The Liberal papers
profess 10 be satisfied with the results O Z
the conference of the National Liberal
Federation, held this week at Huddersfield.
IN The freer air Of the National Liberal
Club, the delegates who have returned to
London do not conceal their disappoint-
ment. Impartial opinion can only de-
scribe the conference as the most stolid
and mechanical party gathering that was
ever held in England
The speeches utterly lacked personal
inspiration and were kept within the lines
dictated by tie wire-pullcrs. Depression
dominated all the delegates.
