ONDON, May 14-What might be
Il called the "canniness" of the Duke
and Duchess of Roxburghe has of
late been making a profound impress
sion on various high-class real estate
agents in London. The ducal couple
have, of course, been hunting around
for some time for an available spot in
the metropolis on which to build an
impressive town house. 1t seems,
however, that the statement attrib-
uted by some American papers to Mrs.
Goelet that cost would not stop her
from providing a residence for her
daughter equal to Buckingham palace
was somewhat exaggerated in the ca
bling process. Mrs. Goelet will have
nothing to do with the erection of the
mansion, and it may be remarked that
the Duchess of Roxburghe and her
husband are capable of driving a hard
bargain. The agents of the Duke of
Westminster and Lord Cadogan have
been in communication with the duke
in relation to sites in Mayfair and
Belgravia, the two most fashionable
quarters in Londons West end, but
the prices quoted were in all cases
considered too high. A place in Cur
Zon street close to the new mansion of
the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough
was suggested, but when it was stated
what the ground rent of the Marlbor-
ough residence had been the Duchess
of RoXburghe declined the offer with
thanks. She fancied a site in Picca-
dilly, opposite the Green park. but
then the county council came along
and acquired it for improvement pur-
poses. She is the cutest and hardest

Prof. Schmidt gained his first ma

of the fated Emperor Frederick, the

crown prince. Silliam, was on his way
from Berlin to San Reno to visit the

he stopped off at Frankfort-on- the

immediate suite, invited Prof Schmidt
to board the special train conveying
the crown prince to Italy and to make
at San Reno an exhaustive report
upon Emperor Fredericks condition,
about which Sir Morell Mackenzie, as
events proved. had so bitterly misled
the German people. Schmidt, with
Prof. Bergman, was the first doctor

a dreamy haze, luminous and tender,

The character of the population in

DR.. Charles A. Ellwood Issues an In

Columbia, Mo-: DR.. Charles A. Ell

university Of Missouri. has just issued
a bulletin on the condition of the coun-
ty jails of Missouri. Two Of the coun.
ties reporting, Morgan and Ozark have
no jalls, but send their prisoners to
neighboring county.
The total population of the eighty
iails on January !, 1904, consisted Of
S43 prisoners. six witnesses detained
and two insane prisoners. OF these
s43 prisoners, 486 are awaiting trial
and 3j7 serving sentences OF the to-
tai number. 537 white and 3OG were
colored. The number of female prison.
ers in the eighty jails was 49, of whom
q we're white and 81 colored. The
number of prisoners under IS years
of age was AZ. of whom % were await
ing trial and 20 were serving sen.
fences.
In addition to the thirty-three coun-
ty jais not reporting, there are the
jails and lock-ups of 553 incorporated
cities, villages and towns. and the
warehouses; of Kansas City and St.
Louis. Estimating the number of pris-
oners in these institutions on given
day at twice the number in the eighty

JAPAN's MIsRULE IN KOREA.
Probability That She Will Avoid For.

Probability That She Will Avoid For.
Tner Mistakes.
Once again Japan finds herself in
control of Korea, land of the morn
ing freshness" This is by no means
a new experience for Japan. 1t was
in the third century A. d. that the
empress regent of Japan herself led
an expedition against Korea. From
that time to the end of the fourteenth
century, with few Interruptions, the
relations of Korea to Japan were
those of vassal to suzerain. Then
China came into ascendancy and from
that time on up to the war of 1894
she retained the principal control of
the hermit kingdom. That war end
ed Chinese suzerainty in Korea and
gave to Japan the control Of coun-
try which it had coveted for centur-
les.
But the Japanese showed little wis
dom or moderation in their treat
ment of the Koreans. The admirer
of the Jap must pass over the period
from 1894 to 1897 with closed eyes
lest his confidence in the intelligence
of Japanese statecraft receive a Sc
we're blow. Korea was ruled with a
high hand. Business and political
morality were thrown to the wind, the
public offices became more corrupt
than before, If such thing were pos
sible in a country cursed for cen
turtles by a system of official corrup-
tion for which it would be difficult to
find a parallel.
At the same time a series of the
most drastic reforms was instituted,
and Korea shuddered with horror at
the dissertation of its most revered
customs and traditions. Japan, fat
tered with its brilliant military sue
cess, became irrational. She insisted
method of wearing the hair. The
king was made to cut Off his topknot
and the people were compelled to do
the same. The queen, bitter enemy
OF Japan, was murdered, the Japanese
minister being an accessory to the
outrage. Then the terrified king fed
to the Russian embassy for protec-
ton, a mob of Koreans murdered the
agents Of Japan in the higher official
positions, and the uprising swept ia
pan from the Korean courts. Russia
become the dominant influence.
Now the fortunes of war have CIV

It is to be hoped that they will profit
by their former experience and rule
Korea with moderation. The art of
governing a colony lies in non-inter.
ference with the non-essentials and
concentration upon the essentials.
The japanese are quick to learn. 1t
is to be hoped that in their future
treatment of Korea they will not
make the mess Of things they did in
1S94-'7.
