they made swift descent to the lobby.
Representative Cochran was implored by

downstairs. Representative McCreary,
of Minnesota Gilbert, of Kentucky the
two Kitchin brothers, both of North

AFFAIRS IN KOREA AND SLAM.

AFFAIRS IN hOhEh AM "i|h"'
More rioting has occurred at Mokphe'
Korea. and on Monday japanese mob
wounded seventeen Koreans. High
Korean officials are hurrying to Mokphe
to try and quell the disorders. 50 far
Russia has not interfered. United
States Minister Allen has demanded
definite answer from the Korean govern
ment in regard to the opening of the
port of Wiju. Despite American,
British, and japanese pressure, Russian
influence over the Korean government Z
apparently unshaken and it is expected
that Korea will procrastinate in dealing
with the matter and possibly may refuse
eventually to act at all. A feeling OF
unrest is growing among the Korean
people who fear that whetherit be peace
or war between Russia and Japan that
the extinction ofthe empire is imminent.
1t is believed that the outbreak OF
hostilities or the announcement OF
protectorate Of any kind will precipltate
trouble. Foreigners in Seoul expect
disorder. and the American residents
desire warship. The Korean army,
numbering 5000 men, is considered one
of the mos. dangerous factors OF the
situation, as an insubordinate element IS
believed to be beyond control. In case
of trouble it is feared tina. the soldiers
will be the first to lead the rioting and
begin looting. A part of the Russian
squadron has already departed for Port
Arthur, and the remainder OF the fleet
will follow, leaving no warships OF that
nation in Korean waters.
