NO FRICTION OVER COREA.
Japan and Russia Not to Clash Over
Little Island

New York, March 28.-While the poli+-
ical atmosphere is thick with rumors
about the intentions Of the powers with
regard to the Chinese questions it as-
pears to have been taken for granted
that Corea was simply a dumb factor in
the negotiations.
In order to ascertain exactly how this
buffer state regards the situation the
London correspondent Of the New York
Herald called upon Mr. William Pritcn-
ard Morgan, NJ F.. British consul gen
eral in Corea, who gave his views as fol-
lows.
The government of Corea was in
huenced to a great extent, to my knovTs-
edge, in granting concessions to the poN-
powers having these vested interests
would protect the independence Of Corea
Japan would not. in my opinion attefnpe
to rake possessions OF Corea without the
approval Of the powers
At the same time there is a gene1 al
impression in the east that if Russia en-
crcaches on Corea, Japan for her own
protection must necessarily contest Rus
sia-s right. But don't for a moment
thirk it likely that there will be any
friction between Russia and Japan over
CoTea.

make an agreement with Russia on this
matter I don't exactly see that it is any
