POLITICAL CRISIS IN KOREA.


TACOMA, Wash, April IA sensational
political crisis exists in Seoul, capital of
Korea. The news is brought tonight by
the steamship Duke of Fife that the gov
ernment beheaded Kim Yang Chun for
planning to make the son of the Emperor
favorte mistress, Lady ON, heir to the
throne, displacing the Prince Imperial, son
of the murdered Queen. The decapitated
official was the leader of the Kim faction
which has been engaged for months IN
deadly rivalry with the Min faction, led Dy
Min Kongsik, for the domination of Korean
politics. The Min faction learned of the
plot against the Prince Imperial and
street fight between the factions resulted
After Kim Yang Chun was beheaded, that
clique gathered in such force that Min
Kongsik and his chief supporters were i'm
prsoned, Min being ordered banished for
fifteen years. Ku Won Chat, minister OF
war, and another official, adherents OF Kim
Yang Chun, resigned and precipitated
cabinet crisis. Ii Chi Yong, minister OF
the household and governor Vim TAX Yong,
of KyonkIde, were arrested for comphclty
In the same plot. 1t was planned to take
Lady ON and her son away from Seoul and
await a favorable opportunity TO place the
latter on the throne. Late tidings received
at Yokohama from Seoul state that the
crisis continues.

somewhat divergent. American specula-
tors says the vossische Zeitung, ARE pos
sessed with a degree Of overconfdence,
which is danger for all the world. Never
theless, many signs indicate that the day
of collapse is near"
The Frankfurter Zeitung also returns TO
the subject suggesting that New York's
money rates foreshadow a elimination of
the BOOM There has been a great excess
of speculation in New York. which sooner
or later must find its corrective in a cor
responding setback"
The Berliner Tageblatt believes that "the
New York movement has entered critical
phase" On the other hand. the National
zeitung. which takes different view, says:
1T would be a grave error to overlook the
fact that magnificent impulse is throb-
bng in American business life. A proof OF
this is seen in the railway receipts, which
speak an absolutely astounding language
a crisis cannot soon be expected.
Spectators. however, are becoming more
skeptical, and Berlin sold Americans all the
week, particularly Northern Pacific shares
1t is understood that operators have begun
selling Americans short and that there Is
some apprehension regarding the American
situation.
The German markets were unfavorably
effected by various factors. The reports
from the iron and coal trades were less
satisfactory. The iron trade reported many
forced auction sales of goods not taken by
contractors, also numerous dismissals OF
operatives. Iron shares were further de-
pressed by a New York cablegram that
the United States Steel Corporation had
reduced the price of manganese in order 10
exclude the German product Hamburg
however, reported large sales of iron waste
TO the United States, an occurrence with
out precedent during the last twelve years
The Hasper iron works issued circular
warning the public against overspeculauon
in its shares, since the business situation
would not warrant this A very depressing
effect was produced by the circular.
The coal market also reported accumu-
lating stocks. The decline in standard coal
and iron shares for the week averaged 6
points.
The textile situation is growing worse.
Shut-downs are more frequent and exports
more difficult

arrived here on the transport Hancock

with the possibilities of the new American
possessions i'm the Orient. He says:
IF / were a young man ! don't know
where should rather go than to the
Philippines. For a man Of brains and in
dustry the islands open a vast prospect
in almost every line of business for
one who has the grit to go there and
stick to It,
THE mineral agricultural and timber
resources OF these islands constitute a
field for commercial enterprise that is
practically unlimited. or course, the
present conditions Of brigandage make il
exceedingly unsafe for people to settle
i'm the islands away from the protection
of the military posts. But the people. or
the great majority, desire peace and
safety and are doing all they can TO help
the troops attain this end
"Of course, IL is impossible to make an
Anglo Saxon out of an Oriental There

an American citizen i'm the broad sense that
is understood by all that term implies to
the man born I'm the United States of
white parents. But soon as he gets a
sufficient educa tion and becomes little
more impregnated with our ideas and
loses some Of the ideas acquired by SOC
years association with the Spanlard. the
Filipino will he a citizen In spirit, patriot
ism, industry and education, and will be
worthy OF participating 10 the fullest eS-
tent In all the benefits Of this government.

them with hrmness as we'll as with
kindness l think 1000 soldiers should
be kept there for some years to come"
