occur most frequently during the winter

Hawaii Likely to be ours.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-''Affairs in
China and the East generally" said
Senator Cullom, "have put on an entire
ly different complexion upon Hawaii g
prospects of annexation. Since con-
gress adjourned for the holidays there
has been a marked change of sentiment
concerning Hawaii, and it would not
surprise me if the impending treaty
should be ratified by the necessary two;
thirds of the senate.
''It would be the height of folly to let
such an opportunity slip as Hawaii pre-
sents to the United States at such a
critical time. Here is most desira-

''As soon as congress meets we will
get at the treaty, and my imprission is
that number of senators who have
heretofore been against the ratification
will be found on our side. 1t has always
been my opinion that we ought to have
Hawaii, and am confirmed In this be-
lief more than ever by the recent course
of events in the Orient.''

THE PROTEST OF ENGLAND.
How Russia's IDfraction of the Treaty
Brought it About


How Russia's 1DfractiOn of the Treaty
Brought 1T About
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The announc-
ment of the determination of England
and Japan to protest against the empe-
ror of Corea practically yielding the gov
ernment of that country into the hands
of the Russian minister, excites great
interest here, where the story of Rus
sia's invasion of Corea is we'll known.
A year or more ago Russia and Japan
entered into a treaty of alliance under
which they agreed to assume jointly the
responsibility of preserving the peace
and providing a good government for
Corea. In the division of responsibility
Russia took command of the army, the
police and the direction of foreign at
fairs, Japan having the departments of
education, agriculture and other COM
paratively unimportant branches of the
government.
The collection of revenues, and the
management of finances were left in
charge of an Englishman named Nc
Levy Brown, who held the title of "ad-
chief commissioner of customs" It was
his dismissal by the emperor of Corea
which brought forth the English con-
sul's protest. 1t was Mr.. Browns duty
to see to the collection of customs. which
he performed so well there was pros
pect of Corea's debts being paid.
Early in November, however, to the
a11 4
in Seoul as guest of the Russian lega-
ton, a Mr.. Alexief, whose calling bore
the title in French, Councillor OF State
and Agent of the Ministry of Finance of
the Imperial Russian Government, ''and
an inscription in Chinese which read
superintendent of the Finances of Co
rea."
1t is said that the Russian govern
ment compelled the Corean ambassador
at st. Petersburg to contract with Alex
Jeff to manage the Corean finances with
out consulting the authorities of Seoul.
The day after the arrival of Alexieff at
Seoul he called on the minister of
finance, exhibited bis contract and an
nounced that he was ready to enter
upon his duties. Mr.. PAX explained
that the government was already enjoy
ing the services of Mr.. Brown, and that
the Corean ambassador at st. Petersburg
had no authority to interfere with the
finance department. Alexieff respond
ed that the fact that the minister oi
finance questioned the validity of the
contract cast reflection upon his verac.
itY.
After a show of resistance by Cores
and repeated threats by the Russian
government, Mr.. Brown was dismissed
and Mr.. Alexief installed in his place
Then followed Browns appeal to Lon
don and the sending of an English
fleet.
