JAPAN'S ACTIVITY.

Japan shows her interest in Korea
by appropriating recently money
enough to build a railroad 300 miles
long from Fusan to Seoul. This will
be of great commercial utility, as the
time between Seoul and Shimonoseki
will thus be reduced to 20 hours. AL
ready one-half of Korea's trade is with
Japan, and this closer connection will
improve Japan's trade position, to say
nothing of military advantages. Japan
owns the railroad from Chemulpo to
Seoul, which when finished will be 26
miles long. Twenty miles were open
to traffic nearly a year ago. A long
steel bridge is under construction and
will need to be completed before the
line will be perfected. The maps al
ready give Masampho harbor to Rus
STA, but recent advices seem to SHOW
that Japan has Influenced the king ol
Korea to cancel the Masampho conf
cessiOn.
