Influence in the East.

SEATTLE. Wash. June 4.-Late advices by
newspaper mail from japan indicate that the
Mikado and his counsellors are preparing for
great effort to reclaim Corea from Russia.
For some time it has been evident that jap
anese power in Corea was waning. The
japanese diplomats realize that unless some
thing is done Immediately their country
will cease to be factor in Corean af-
fairs. One Of the first steps in the effort
to reclaim the Kingdom is outlined by
the Nippon. Japan will demand that the
Corean Government cease the coinage Of sub
sdiary coins and 60 back to the old standard.
Unlimited issuing OF these coins has caused n
rise In price of commodities and great incon-
Nenience to merchants because OF the discrep-
apcy between them and the Japanese coins
A commission will be sent to Corea. The
Emperor will be told that his empire is about
to become the toy OF the powers. Recon-
mendatons will be made for the undoing OF
certain foreign representatives. and by, putting
on firm front japan thinks they will be en-
forced.
