KOREA HAS ANNUlLED ALL
TREATIES WITH RUSSIA
Yalu Timber Concession, Which
Caused the War in the Far
East, Cancelled.
WORK UNDONE

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Minister Allen
cables the State Department from Seoul to-
day as follows: THE Korean government
by an imperial decree issued last night. has
annulled all treaties and agreements with
the Russian government. This annulment
comprises the Yalu river concessions.
The Yalu timber concession is said to
have been one of the principal factors in
bringing about the present war. So long as
the Russians remained on the western bank
of the Yalu the Japanese. though very
much disconnected at the failure TO evacu-
ate Manchuria, were not willing to plunge
into hostilties. but the procurement by
Russia. through Nj. Pavloff, the resident
Russian agent and minister at Seoul. OF a
large concession OF land on the Korean side
of the Yalu precipitated the crisis. The
Japanese felt that the alleged timber con-
cession was really intended for military
purposes. ana they were confirmed in their
suspicion by Russian opposition 10 the ap-
plication of Japan. England and the United
States 10 have free ports opened at the
and Antung. The practical effect OF this
decree Is TO break off all diplomatic rela-
tons between Russia and Korea that may
have survived the expulsion of NJ. Pavloff
from Seoul

the split.
The anti-third termers. with sincere en-
thusiasm. contend that they have brought
about party peace. They point TO the past
administration as the exemplification OF
government for personal ambition. The La

party wreckers and discontents- Still

The determination of the legal right of the

The first contest on the legality OF the two
conventions will come at that time. The
recognition OF either will mean much to

FRANCE WILL RESENT
ATTITUDE OF VATICAN
Minister to Be Recalled if Anthem
ITCHY of Protest to the Foreign
Powers Is Established.

PARIS, May 19.-The Council of Ministers
assembled IN extraordinary session to-day
to consider the action to be taken relative
to the POpe's protest against President
Loubets visit to Rome. As the version of
the protest forwarded TO the governments
having relations with the Vatican differs
from that forwarded TO the French govern
ment it was decided to first ascertain def
nitely what representations the Vatican
made to the foreign governments. The
council also agreed on the steps TO be taken
when the exact character of the foreign
protest is ascertained. An official commu-
nication 10 the press says the ministers are
in accord on the steps. but does not give
the nature of the expected action.
Later il became known that the recall of
Nj. Nisard the ambassador of France to
the Vatican, had been decided on if the
authenticity of the protest forwarded to
the foreign powers was established. This
practically assures the ambassadors re-.
call, little or no doubt exists relative to
the protest

National Committee to Open

CONTESTS TO BE DECIDED

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 19-The headquar-
tiers of the Republican pational committee
will be opened in Chicago on June l. Chair
man Payne and Secretary Dover will be
with the executive committee and the con-
vention committee a large part OF the time
preliminary to the opening of the conven-
ton. and few days before the date of
the opening the full committee will meet
to pass on the credentials of the delegates
chosen TO the convention
Secretary Dover had a conference with
President Roosevelt to-day regarding the
details of the committee plans Most of the
time taken up in reconsidering the
question of speakers for the campaign and
the literary work which will soon be in
aUgurated. The full committee will be kept
busy all the allotted time before the meet
ing OF the convention with considera ton
of contested cases. There is unusual
~ large number of contests this year and
II Is probable the work of the committee
in preparing reports TO be submitted TO
the convention oh these cases will be UNI
usually heavy.
1t has come to be the custom in all cases
before the national committee to make
final decisions determining which set of
delegates in contest Is entitled TO seats
in the convention. In former times il was
the practice to omit settlement of contests
whenever possible and TO leave the matter
in as amicable a condition as possible by
sea ting both sets of delegates giving them
a half vote each OF late years, however
the committee has invariably reported to
the convention a decision 'favoring one set
OF delegates and excluding the other.
With one exceptions the orators who are
to second the nomination of President
Roosevelt in the convention have not been
chosen yet, but they probably will be with
in a week or ten days. Four seconding
speeches probably will be delivered. The
exception noted is the orator of the South,
who is TO be Harry Stillwell Edwards, of
