CoREA NOW AN EMPIRE.
The King Has Proclaimed Himself
Emperor of His Domain.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The Corean le-
cation received an official cablegram to-
day, stating: King proclaimed himself
Emperor from this date Oct. Is, 1897. The
transition which Corea thus makes from a
kingdom to an empire is felt to have con-
siderable significance in Oriental affairs
although the cabegram to the legation
gives no details of the change and the
officials here are without any information
as to the causes leading up to it, 1t is I'M
derstood, however, to be a part of the pro-
gressive policy on which Corea has en-
barked following the lead Of Japan and
China. The King is member of the Pro-
gressive party, and shares the wish of the
party to bring Corea up to modern stand
ards The opposition element is known as
the Conservative party, and is DESTROYS OF
preserving the old traditions and govern
mental system of the country. Mr.. Sob,
who recently died here, was the leading fig
ure of this progressive element While the
Corean minister is q member of the Con-
servative party. The last step taken by
the King in proclaiming himself Emperor
to-day is regarded as a final stroke of the
progressive and modern element.
The change also has another aspect.
CHINA long has asserted suzerainty over
Corea, and it was this claim that brought
on the China-Japan war While the claim
is dormant, yet China never has relin-
quished what she has regarded as an he
reditary sovereignty over Corea. with
the latter country as a kingdom, some APP
parent assent was given to the claim of an
imperial authority In China, but with Corea
herself advancing to the rank of an en-
Dire she throws off every evidence of de-
tendency on any outside power. This in
dependence would apply also to Japan and
Russia, which have been seeking to gain
influence and control in Corea, owing to
that country's exclusive coast line and
valuable harboTs on the north Pacific To
Russia, in particular, the acquisition OF
corea's Pacific coast line has been regarded
sias ports on the Pacific are closed by ice
during the winter, while those Of Corea
are open the year round. The advances
made by Russia and Japan in Corea have
led to much conflict between the two
countries the last move being a protest by
Japan against the assignment OF Russian
officers to drill the Corean army With
Corea an empire il is felt that she gives
unmistakable evidence to other aspiring
nations that she has no intention of be-
coming absorbed by or a petty kingdom

The Game as Played In Africa.

1t can hardly be too often repeated that the Jameson raid and the Johan. nesburg rising are merely incidents in the game which has been played for years and is still playing between MT. Rhodes as the representative of British hegemony and President Kruger as representative of Dutch and ultimately, though not willingly, of German. l have good deal of admiration for Pres tdent Kruger as strong man in a diff ficult place and highly esteem the Boers as a resolute and hardy race, but President Kruger's government is intol- erable, and if he were to win we should lose the headship of South Africa. There is great deal of talk now about getting at the guilty person behind Jameson s raid and Johannesburg revolt. This is assumed to be MT. Rhodes-a short sighted assumption.
 Behind the reform committee, who merely found an ally in MT. Rhodes. looms the formidable first cause of the disturbances in the Transvaal, the un- gainly figure of the old dopper dicta- tor. Give him all praise for diplomacy, courage, tenacity and certain diplo matic magnanimity, but remember that the oppression and corruption of his gov. ernment, deaf to remonstrance or warn- ing, is the real cause of the trouble, and that the guilt for the blood spilled at Krugersdorp, as for the suicides in the tronk at Pretoria, rests on the unrelent- ing, though somewhat unctuous, auto- crat of the Transvaal. .-Fortnightly Re- view.

 The Last Sickness.
 But I must close, for there may be suffering men and women waiting in your office, or on the hot pillow, won dering why you don't come. But before you go, O doctors, hear my prayer for your eternal salvation. Blessed will be the reward in heaven for the faithful Christian physician. Some day, through overwork or from bending over pa- tient and catching his contagious breath, the doctor comes home, and he lies down faint and sick. He is too weary to feel his own pulse or take the diag- nosis of his own complaint. He Is worn out. The fact is, his work on earth is ended. Tell those people in the office there they need not wait any longer. The doctor will never go there again. He has written his Ast prescription for the alleviation of human pain. The people will run up his front steps and inquire, "How is the doctor today?" All the sympathies of the neighborhood will be aroused and there will be many prayers that he who has been so kind to the sick may be comforted in his last pang. It is all over now. In two or three days his convalescent patients, with shawl wrapped around them, will come to the front window and look out at the passing hearse, and the poor of the city, barefooted and bare headed, will stand on the street corner, saying, "Oh, how good he was to us allp' But on the other side of the river of death some of his old patients who are for ever cured, will come out to welcome him, and the physician of heaven, with locks as white as snow, according to the Apocalyptic vision, will come out and say "Come in, come in. I was sick and ye visited me-"

1897 Q Lucky Year.

This ought to be lucky year, for it has so few eclipses. In fact only two of these shadowy phenomena occur during 1897, and both affect the light of the sun, but in each case the moon happens to be so far from the earth at the time she crosses the suns face that the eclipse is not total.
 One of these "annular' eclipses, so called because in those places on the earth where the moon appears crossing directly over the center of the sun the edge of the latter projects from behind the moon on all sides, like blazing ring or annulus, occurred Monday aft ernoon, Feb. 1. But even if the sky had been clear at the time very little of the eclipse would have been seen here, DO more, in fact, than the mere edge of the moon just notohing the disk of the sun. One would have had to go to South America or to the south Pacific ocean in order to see the sun turned in- to fiery circle.
 The second annular eclipse and the only other eclipse of the year occurs on the morning of July 29, when better opportunity will be afforded us to be- hold the black globe of the moon partly covering the sun. On that occasion the ring will be visible in Mexico and some of the West India islands.
 Astronomers pay comparatively little attention to annular eclipses, because they do not reveal those marvellous streams and banners of glowing gas or electrified particles surrounding the sun which become visible only during the darkness of total eclipse.
 On the other hand, superstitious peo- pie, who think total eclipses are DOT tents of evil, ought to rejoice over a year which has only annular eclipses, displaying their golden ring in the heavens as if for real "bridal of the earth and sky. "-G. P. s. in New York World.
