Peace till the railway Is DONE Sc

But the quasi-occupation Of Korea by
Russia appears In a new light when
interpreted by her policy In other
parts. If she was to occupy the Lao
Tung il would be necessary TO pacify
Japan at all costs The interesting
movement in Korea may be made to
seem an attempt on the part OF Russia
to place herself in position to be
generous provided she be allowed 10
take Port Arthur unchallenged. It Is
difficult to imagine that Japan has been
so thoroughly outwitted by her north
ern neighbor as this would suggest, but
the result Of the Russo-Japanese agree
ment. later reported 10 the world.
seems to make the theory indisputable.
At least what other explanation can be
given for the concessions % which ia
pan is to have IN Korea, namely, the
privilege TO build a Seoul Fusan Rail
way (for which she has had a conces-
sion for many months. but was absO-
lutely unable to proceed with the work.
and e Japan-K orean bank2 Whether the
occupation OF Korea was a determined
action OF the Russian government or a
pastime intrigue ;of en- ambitious MN
lister with everything 10 gain and
nothing to lose, it answered the same
purpose-tO silence Japan.
The Kew Modus vivendi
The new modus vivendi scheme of to-
day leaves Korea 10 play the role, now
hundreds OF years old. as the bone of
contention between two neighbors- IN
stead OF China and Japan. 1t is now

story. and vii, be likely TO end IN war.

history OF the present one cannot be diff

have parties within Korea which will
be forever suspicious and selfish. II not
openly quarrelsOme. What the one does
the other will deride and oppose. The
Korean official class, wholly corrupt
and stepped In selhshness. will only find
in the situation abundant room for their
evil practices. Reforms-their bitterest

was the very case between China and

ton with the peninsula than Japan can

to Russia in Korea that there Is to Ja-
pan. Besides having less prejudice TO

Japan can secure. Russia has a strong

SECRET SERVICE PLANS
TO DETECT ANARCHISTS

With Leading Foreign
Officials.

Chief wilkie, Of the Secret Service,

that while there he viii give further
attention TO the measures being taken
by the leading European governments
and the police bureaus of the foreign
capitals and leading cities for the bet

Some months ago the chief was
abroad. and after his return IL was I'M

1898, IT was announced I'm London that
the Russian financial adviser in Korea
had received authority TO promote Rus
sian commercial interests in Korea and
take steps for the founding OF an Or
thodox Church. Moreover, the Korean
government closed it's contract with
japanese military instructors and en-
gagged only Russian. The Korean mint
was transferred TO the hands Of a Rus
sian manager. The government account
was transferred from the local Korean
bank and placed with the Russo-Korean
bank.
Thus by the beginning of 1898 Russia
seemed TO have about possessed herself
OF Korea. Those who had hoped for a
free Korea were fain to compare her
with Poland The Vagabond official
class. finding Russian supremacy a lit
tie constrained fer their purposes. were
growing slightly patriotic" BY April
/ all was chsnged. The Russian finan-
cial adviser had been Withdrawn. The
Russian military instructors were re-
called. The Orthodox Church was
heard OF no more in the land. The doors
Of the Russo-Korean Bank were closed.
The Russian manager Of the Korean
mint was relieved OF his duties.
Attempt to Gain Fame.
These facts make It seem possible tc
believe that the Russo-Korean agree
ment was the attempt Of a politician,
given carte blanche TO make short
cut 10 fame. Considered as such, IL was
a theoretical success and a practical
failure. Russian nominally had Korea

Can. were startled on being told by an
elderly Irish woman that they We're

The old woman had sauntered into the
office to pay taxes on her three houses
and TO give up her hard earned money
year after year on what She considered
high taxes. 1t was evidently becoming n
burden to her and she was taking this op-
portunlty to give vent TO her feelings.

scious at All, at all. There you stand a
smiling and a smiling while I talk to YOU
and DON'T mind 81 bit. Sure and can't

BY this time the woman had talked
herself into a good humor, and before
leaving the office she said:
"Ah, well, don't know that 1t is your
