CAR NUISANCE SETTLED
COUNCIL CONSIDERS WASHINGTON
 PARk LINE.
Four Seats are To Re Reserved on All Cars For White Patrons of the Street Rail-
 rOad.

Montgomery Aldermen last night grappled with the Washington Park street car nuisance and settled it in way which the Aldermen hope will be satisfactory to the residents of the western portion of the city.
 The Councils solution of the quest ion is that four seats at least in every car shall be reserved for white pat rons.
 This was the plan proposed by Alder man Jackson. after hearing numerous complaints, conferring with the street railway officials and carefully study ing the situation. Alderman Jackson was backed up in his stand by Alder man Forbes. apother member of the Committee on Franchises, which had the question under discussion Alder man Kohn differed with the other members of the committee.
 Alderman Kohn himself had a solut- icn of the question. He proposed that half of each regular car should be set apart for white passengers but that the railway company might run as many extra cars to Washington Park as it saw fit so long as they did not interfere with the regular schedule.
 Alderman Jackson's plan, providing that white patrons could ride on any cars going towards Washington Park, met with most favor 1 nthe council however. He first provided that only two seats should be set aside for white patrons but later agreed that the num- Der should be raised to four
 An effort was made to postpone the question but Alderman Sullivan who brought up the question and Alderman Ryan his colleague, opposed postpone ment.
 The Jackson ordinance was adopted by the Council with votes to spare.
 One of the most interesting features
 tNf Discrepancies in Figures. of the evening was the attack made by Alderman Roemer upon the report of the Finance Committee on the paving of Holcombe street,
 Chairman Kohn of this committee re- ported that the bid of Hodgson and Hannon for the .aving was the lowest submitted and they should be awarded the contract In handing in the re- port MT. Kohn said there was an ap- parent discrepancy between the Hol- combe street paving figures and the Adams street figures. The City En- gineer he said had explained that dis crepancy.
 Alderman Roemer immediately at- tackled the report. He said that HoI- combe street pavings was to cost the city at least 15 per cent more than the Adams street paving. He quoted a series ol figures comparing the cost Of the different items. In some instan- ces the fIolcombe street items were 10 per cent more than the Adams street items.
 He|y would he said, like to know what the explanation of the City En- gineer was as to the discrepancy. He asked that he be heard.
 Alderman Kohn suggested that all the bids and the whole matter be re- ferred to the Street Committee of which MT Roemer was chairman. This was done and the incident was en- ded

er asked to step out by the Korean
government. and Russian was in
stalled in his place. A Russian was ap-
pointed military supervisor of the
Korean army. A Russo-Korean bank
was established, and the funds of the
government were moved thither from
the native bank In a short space uf
time after the doors of the Russian le-
cation closed upon the Emperor of
Korea, Russia had practical control OF
the land.
This was proven by the sudden ac-
uvity of the Independence Club, and or
gan1zation of Korean patriots who had
banded together for the unity and in
tegrity of Korea. BY backing a paper
operated by Americans the Korean
Independent, which published both
English and native editions tri-weelxly
and by various public meetings, an in
tense sentiment against the pro- Rus
sian trend of affairs was aroused. This
eliminated in the murder of the Ko-
rean interpreter to the Russian lega-
ton, who was believed to be an inn
portant cog in the Russian wheel.
Asked Russia to Get Out.
At last, in the middle OF March,
1898, the Russian minister submitted
to the Korean Emperor a paper ask
ing whether the Korean government
wished Russia TO recede from the po-
sition she had taken. To the surprise
OF the world, the Emperor gave an af-
firmative answer. Then "the mouse
began to gnaw the rope and the rope
began to hang the butcher" the Rus
sian commissioner of customs gra-
ciously yielded up his position to Mac
Leavy Brown; the Russo Korean bank
closed it's doors, the funds going back
to the Korean bank, and the Russian
officer in charge of the Korean army
went away.
AS a result Of the Korean peoples
experience in those days, Russia had
been feared by them as much as
Japan had been hated; and such has
been the case ever since.
Foreigners I'm Seoul.
The residents of Seoul know fully
the feeling of the Koreans to both
Japanese and Russians. / have seen
Cossacks go galloping down the wide
avenues OF Seoul and burst suddenly
upon a crowd Of Koreans without an
instant's warning, and never look be-
hind to see what injuries they heed
lessly caused. A riot in the japanese
section of Seoul Is Of common occur
renee, though the japanese are very
la -dpiolhSg Vne noI een, HaiA Auii VI
sui, can find all the fighting he wants,
and find it quick. in the Japanese
quarter. The islanders have hocked
in large numbers to Seoul and South
ern Korea, much to the delight OF
foreigners, who find them obliging and
efficient. Japan is building up large
trade with Korea, but the jealousy is
deep-rooted and 1t will take genera
tions to wipe 1t out Hatred OF japan
is one Of the great obstacles to Ko-
rean prosperity, and as the tramp Of
armies shake the bare hills Of Korea,
and the roar OF the guns Of battle
ships echo along her desolate coasts,
the hatred of Koreans for both the
will increase with every
ounce of powder that is spent.

he preached or spoke in public thou
sands, representing all sects, crowa-
ed to hear him, and went away to tell
his stories and to discuss the liberal
views which he had expounded.
1t was the broad attitude he took
as coadjutor bishop that first caused
Pope Leo to hear of Bishop Ryan.
The late Pope. as everybody knows,
was liberal in his views. and here was
a church dignitary who had won the
respect of a large body of Protestants
and broken down much prejudice
against the church. So Leo sent for
Bishop Ryan, received him in the
Vatican, and. in recognition of his
work, which had been almost solely
that of a speaker, gave him the hon
orary title of Archbishop of Salamis.
This was in the same year that
Archbishop Wood, of Philadelphia,
died. Archbishop Wood had been
ltra-conservative. Among other
things he would not let a member of
the G. A. r. be buried in a Catholic
cemetery. He held that the G. A. r.
was a secret society; he was opposed
to all such organizations. and ne
would have no rites other than those
of the church at the grave. AS a re-
suit, in Philadelphia. the leading

Became an Archbishop.
Upon the death of Archbishop Wood
the church began looking around for
his successor. 1t did not take it long
to discover that Bishop Ryan was the
only man in sight who was fitted for
the post. A man was wanted who
could soften the widespread hostility
against the church; ne would have to
be something of diplomat and a man
who could use his tongue well. Bishop
Ryan, by means OF his wit and his lib
erality, had won a host OF Protestant
friends In ST. Louis; his policy had
received the Pope's stamp Of approval;
ne was the man for the place.
SO Patrick j. Ryan. coadtutor bish-

THE KOREANS OPINION
OF RUSSIAN AND JAP
He Fears the One Hates Other With Perfect Hatred
Hatred for Japan Increased When After the Japan China War
Japan Tried to Give Korea Honest Government
BY ARCHER B, HUBERT.
Formerly Editor of the Korean Independent.

the sympathy of the entire British
populace of the Far East was with the
Chinese and not with the Japanese.
In that war Japan's armies swept up
the Korean peninsula to the Yalu and
drove the weak Chinese hordes back
TO the Liaotung Peninsula: there, on
the tip of the Tigers Tail, they cap
tured Port Arthur, the Gibraltar of
the Yellow Sea and Northern China.
The cry then was "On to Pekin!" At
this point Russia and Germany
stepped in and bade Japan pause. Not
only that; they demanded that Japan
give up every foot of soil that her
armies had conquered-Manchuria
and Korea. The reason was that the
possession of these regions would ever
be menace to the integrity of China.
Hated Their LiberatOrs.
Japan acceded and received an in
demnity and the Island of Formosa
and the freedom" of Korea The
yoke they never really felt-with a
perfect hatred. Everything Japan
tried honestly but short sightedly to
do for Korea made the Koreans hate
her worse. She instituted a reform
cabinet about the Korean Emperor;
these and various other well-meant eff
forts at reformation were not we'll re-
plundering Korean statesmen--or Off
cial bloodsuckers, to give them a more
fitting name-and what happened? The
Empress Min was soon suspected of
neutralizing all the Japanes carpet
bagging plan of reconstruction in Ko-
rea; band of infuriated japanese des-
peradoes broke into the palace on the
night of Oct. 25, 1885, and murdered
the offensive Empress. The act re-
ceived as great condemnation officially
and publicly in Japan as in the out
side world, but from that morning
Japanese influence was nil in Korea,
and the Emperor of Korea fed from
his palace-to the Russian legation.
Russia's InsinuOus Policy.
BY her 7insinuous policy of fiattery
Russia had, at an early day, made
good friends with the Koreans in
Northern Korea. In coming across
Asia she had had a good deal of prac-
tice in ingratiating herself with new
people; for instance, she published
Korans at her own expense for circu-
lation among the Mohammedans of
Central Asia at the same time that she
was running to the ground and inn
prisoning the followers of the Prophet
in European Russia; and one of her
tricks with the Chinese was to cast
coins for general circulation with the
image of the Chinese Emperor on one
side and that of the Gear on the other.
With the Koreans, she instituted trade
regulations that were of distinct ad-
vantage to both paries Her policy with
Japan has been of the same nature,
and you will find the Mikado has re-
ceived every decoration and honor
save the highest only-which the Czar
of Russia can give.
Russia's Way of Getting In.
With their Emperor at the Russian
legation, the Koreans did not know
what to make of the situation: and
slowly but surely Russia began to
make her possession of his majesty felt
in the peninsula. MacLeavy Brown,
commissioner of customs, was soon aft
