OF INTEREST IN WASHINGTON
Story of the Practical Seizure of Korea by
Russia.

WASHINGTON, Dec 80. = The an.
nouncement of the determination of
England and Japan to protest against
the emperor Of Korea practically yield
ing the government Of that country into
the hands of the Russian minister ex-
cites great interest here, where the
story of Russia's invasion Of Korea is
well known.
A year or two ago Russia and Japan
entered into treaty of alliance under
which they agree to assume jointly the
responsibility of preserving the peace
and providing good government for
Korea. In the division of responsibility
Russia took command of the army, the
police and the direction of foreign
affairs, Japan having the departments
of education, agriculture and other
comparatively unimportant branches Of
the government.
The collection of revenue and the
management of finances were left in
charge of all Englishman named Nc
Leavy Brown, who held the title OF
"adviser to the finance department and
chief commissioner Of customs. It
was his dismissal by the emperor of
Korea which brought forth the English
consul's protest. The British war ves-
sells are now on their way to Korea to
support this protest.
It was Mr.. Browns duty to see to the
honest collection of customs which he
performed so well there was prospect
Korea's Indebtedness would soon be
paid. Early in November, however, to
the surprise of all concerned, there ap-
peared in Seoul, as guest Of the Rus
sian legation, a Mr.. Alexief, whose
calling cards bore the title in French
councillor Of state and agent of the
ministry of finance of the imperial Rus.
sian government" and an inscription
in Chinese which read superintendent
of the finances of Korea. "
1t seems that the czar induced or
compelled the Korean ambassador at
St. Petersburg to enter into a contract
with Mr. Alexieff to manage the Kor-
can finances without consulting any Of
the authorities at Seoul The day after
the arrival of Mr.. Alexief at Seoul he
called upon the minister of finance,
exhibited his contract, and announced
that he was ready to enter upon his
duties. Mr.. PAX explained that the
government was already enjoying the
services of McLeavy Brown and that
the Korean ambassador at St. Peters
burg had no authority or right to inter-
fere with the finance department The
Russian minister responded that if the
minister of finance questioned the
validity of the contract it would be con-
sidered reflection upon his sovereign.
After show of resistance by Korea
and repeated threats by the Russians,
Mr.. Brown was dismissed and Mr..
Alexieff installed in his stead. Then
followed Mr.. Brownss appeal to Lon
don and the sending of feet.
