The little kingdom of Korea, whose
affairs furnished the ~ostensible prov
ocation of the war between Japan and
China, and whose king has recently
been under The guardianship OF Russia
has passed under what is practically
a Joint p~rotectorate of Japan and Rus
sin. The two governments have sign
ed an agreement by which each is to
station a limited force of troops in 10
rea for the protection of their settle
ments. Both powers also agree to give
Korea financial aid; Japan is to con-
troll the telegraph lines, except a new
line to Seoul, which Russia is to build.
The agreement seems to settle rival
ries which at one time were rather a
threatening aspect.
