ASKS P%ROTECT0RATE.
su~ssian-Aovices Are That Japan Would
Like to Get Complete Control
of Korean Affairs.

Paris, Feb. 26.-Information received
here, probably through Russian chan
nels and credited in the highest official
quarters, leads to the belief that Japan
is now seeking to secure execution of
the treaty by the Emperor of Korea,
giving Japan q protectorate over Korea.
1t is the understanding that the pros
pect of this treaty was the main reason
for RuSsia'S protest to the powers
against Japan,s violating Korean neu-
trality, as Russia desires to serve all
rights against a Japanese protectorate
owe Korea, on the ground that it Will

likely to approve OF such a treaty
through inability to resist. The stu
alton from Russia's standpoint is
likened to a mans signing a check I'M

thai if this is the main purpose Of Rus
sian protest it Is accomplished, and
there will not be any joint or separate
action by the powers relative to the alb

lated the law of nations.

In diplomatic circles the Russian case
Is considered strong, opinion being,

thus striking u blow without warming,
