Russia and Korea.

Russia's influence over Korea seems to
be in the ascendant The dismissal Of Mr..
McLeavy Brown from his post as director
of Korean customs indicates that England
no longer has such a prestige at Seoul as to
successfully combat the steady advance
of Russia. McLeavy Brown would have
been dismissed few years ago at Russia 8
suggestion had not England insisted upon
his retention. The government at London
then was so aroused by the threat of his
discharge by the Korean government that
the friction with Russia approached the
danger point. England is now protesting
against the change, and it may be will go
to the same lengths as before to make
good the point, but the general situation in
the far east has materially changed mean
while and the outcome is not clear. The
understanding has been that Japan will
fight rather than permit Korea to pass
definitely under Russian control. To strike
to advantage Japan must go to war before
the completion of the trans-Siberian rail-
road. If England, Japan's natural ally,
were not embarrassed by South African en-
gagements this challenge by Russia would
probably be promptly accepted by Japan
Englands contribution to the struggle
would in any event be it's navy and not
its army, and there need be no surprise if
Japan now asserts herself vigorously and
even to the point of warning with Russia
Japan considers Russia's navy and army
now in Asia to be inferior to her own, and
many impartial observers hold the same
opinion.
American commercial interests demand
that Korea and Manchuria shall be kept
open to our unrestrained trade, which. al
ready large in North Asia, is growing with
wonderful rapidity. Full control of Man.
churia and Korea by Russia would threat
en- the loss, sooner or later, of our trade
in that section of the world and whatever
short Of fighting, our government can do
to prevent the closing of these ports to
our commerce through Russian supremacy
will doubtless be done.

announcement that the Instruction In the
province of Panay has been ended by the
surrender of the insurgents in that dis

has been progressing steadily, as shown

the past few months announcing captures
voluntary surrenders and the gradual es-
adjustment OF civil institutions that had

at least comparative tranquility in the
islands so long disturbed by Spanish and
Tagal misrule.

A Sense of bereavement.

IT'S true the buds will blossom soon,
With fragrance soft and sweet;
'Tis true we'll see the golden moon
In radiance complete
But. though the joyous bird will frame
Its customed matin lay,
The country will not seem the same
With Congress far away.
And we shall see the base ball nine
For glory oft compete.
And the electric lights will shine
Adown the stately street.
But though men hall with loud acclaim
The circus bands that play,
The city will not seem the same,
With Congress far away.
Aye, we may don our Easter garb,
And wear spring-1ke smile,
But there will be a loneliness,
Which nothing can beguile,
And though we speak in persifage
And carol songs full gay,
We cannot carol from our hearts,
With Congress far away.
