THE BANDoN aRoMIsHv CROSS.

A dispatch from Bandon Oh Monday SAYS
Special interest centered in the proceedings Of
the Bandon rural district council on today in con
sequence OF the fact that amongst the presentments
listed for consideration was an application by
Councillor Kearney for the sum of one shilling for
the purpose of erecting the public street at the
northern side of Bandon bridge the Celtic cross TO
the memory of the late Mr.. Graves Applebee, which
elected from Kilbrogan Protestant church yard
as being "Romish and Idolatrous"
Mr.. W. c. Kearney proposed the resolution
which stood in his name.
Councillor ONeill seconded.
Councillor the Earl of Bandon said he could not
tell how deeply panied and grieved he felt when he
heard OF the removal of this Celtic cross which
lady, a member of respected family in the town
had placed there as a memorial of her brother. He
was greatly shocked at such an act of irreverence
and he had the strongest reason for stating that
many of his fellow churchmen were as deeply
grieVed and pained. as he was (cheers). He moved
as an amendment to the resolution:
That the consideration of this resolution be
postponed till the next quarterly meeting of the
council III order to afford Mrs. AFFORD and the mem
bers OF her family an opportunity of coming to an
amcable arrangement with view TO having the
cross erected OH eonsecrated ground"
Mr.. James DAILY, J.P. seconded Lord Banion's
amendment
Mr., Kearney-Would there be any hope of the
cross being ever allowed in again but for our action
here today (applause)? 1t had been thrown out be-
cause 1t deemed "Romish and Idolatrous" It
was lett on the roadside, and then stolen away bv
these parties.
Mr. Forde, solicitor, Cork, who represented the
sister OF the deceased gentleman earnestly appealed
TO the council to pass the motion. He said that
Mrs AFFORD had exhausted every means of amicable
Amidst applause the motion was passed bv
twenty-five votes to three

UNITED STATES RELATIONS TO KOREA
One word in closing, as to the relations off the
United States to this particular contest. Under
and by virtue of the provisions of u treaty ucy,-
tiated by Admiral Schufeldt on May % l,s9 rha
United States and Korea agreed with each othe.
that if, at any time, either of them were put upon
by foreign nation, and her integrity and her soil
threatened, the other would come to her assi,tanc,
and use her best>endeavors to ward off injury from
her ally. Under this treaty have had intercourse
with Korea all these years The treaty still stands
Korea has not yet, in view of either Russian ag-
gression Japanese aggression, or In view of Chi
nese aggression previous to 1894, seen tit to appeal
to this government to carry out this agreement
contained In that treaty. If she should do so now,
it would raise serious question as to just what the
duty of the United States would be in the premises

strengthening the Notifications OF Port Arthur and
in constructing a railway through Manchurla
The immediate cause of the present difficulty
between Russia aud Japan is the failure OF Ras-
sia to eyacuate Manchuria, and Japan's determln-
alton TO know if possible, what Russias future
purposes with reference to Manchurla and
to Korea; for while Russia has been busy strength
ening herself in Manehtria, she has been equally
busy in endeavOring to strengthen herself III Korea
and in view of the centuries of continuous expan-
sion of Russia, Japan may well be excused Tor be-
ing nervous. Japan has proposed that Russia shall
recognize her interests in Korea paramount, IN
return for the recognition by Japan OF the para
mountcy of Russian rights i'll Manchuria, agree
ing that Russian rights in Korea shall be as lber-
ally recognized as Japanese rights in Manchuria.
Russia insists that she will not discuss the Man
churan question with Japan but that she will con-
slider practical division of Korea. This PROPOSE
ton, naturally, is wholly unacceptable to Japan.
WHY RUSSIA SEEKS KOREA.
The reason for Russias persistent aggression
toward Korea must be sought in her commercial
interests. Russia desires Korea in order to open a
way by land to seaports which shall be open the
year round. Neither VIadivostock nor Dalny nor
Port Arthur are such ports. The very improve
ments at Dalny have made it easier for the sea
to freeze up. At enormous expense, Russia has al
most completed railroad across Asia, only to find
herself with It's terminal in winter-locked harbors.
To find an open harbor Russia must either take
possession, in China of some harbor far south
as Chefu, or she must take possession of Korea as
far south Chernulpo. Russia's only need of
Korea is military and commercial. She does not
need Korea as an outlet for her surplus population
She does not need the mines of Korea does she
need any power which might come from the acces-
sion of the Koreans to the Russian throne. She
needs an outlet. Russia is, by reason of the very
expenditures she has made in Manchuria more
determined than to be free to find open access
to the waters of the Pacific ocean.
WHY KOREA rs NECESSARY TO JAPAN
Japan desires Korea because her population is
crowding the home island and must have q place
in which to overflow; because the climate the soil,
the products the environment generally are little

Now that hostilities have actually begun infor.
nation concerning the causes underlying the wal
between Japan and Russia is of great value to the
student OF everyday history. The following article
is unbiased and comprehensive 1t is taken from
The Denver News, and was written before Russia
rejected the proposals of Japan.
The position of Korea is unique. She Is the
youngest of the nations to come into diplomatic
relations with the western world Her treaties with
the United States and England were made in 1882;
with Germany in 1855; with Russia and Italy in
1854; with France in 1886; with Austro-Hungary
IN 1892 She has 10 well established postal facili-
ties or means Of transportation and communca-
ton. She has only short railroad while others
are projected and only few miles of telegraph
lines, and these mostly controlled by foreigners
The means Of transportation of men and goods is
man-back. ponyback, cow-back by means of sedan
chairs and by two-wheeled clumsy buIl-carts She
manufactures feebly insufficient supply of tex
tile fabrics, Of pottery, and of metal wares. She
exports rice, ginseng, and fish. Korea has never
recovered from the blighing ravages of the Japan-
csc conquest Of three centuries ago. AT no time
since then has she had army worthy the name
Sne has 10 military class, no military aspirations
no military aptitude. no military instruction. Her
present army nominaly of 1000 men, is deservedly
a laughing stock and object of proper ridicule
when 1t is not an object of dread
JAPAN'S CONTEST WITH CHINA
The ideal solution of the eastern question, as
at present it manfests itself would be to put Korea
IN commission, with her integrity and independence
guaranteed by the great powers. For many CEN
turies. she the vassal both of China and of
Japan. She paid homage to them both, and she
paid tribute TO them both She was the pretext
and occasion for many contest of arms between
the Chinese and the Japanese people This con-
test over Korea eliminated in 1894 when China
