Japan's predominating influence In;
Korea is discussed at length by Maj, Gen.
Won ZEPPELIN in the Deutsche Monats-
schrift (StuttgarD. Japan was the first
country to make Z commercial treaty
with Korea, in 1876, by the terms Of
which one port on the eastern coast and
one on the western coast were opened,
aside from Fusan, W here aJapanesefac-
tory was then already in operation. There
are now II treaty ports, including
Chemulpho and Seoul, Mokpo land
Masampho. japanese commerce pre-
dominates in all these ports, q factwhich
is admitted by reliable Russian writer's.
The st. Petersburg Journal stated, not
long ago, in regard to- imports into
Korea, that the sum of $4,000, 900, rep
resented by cotton goods, constituted
nearly one-half of the entire value of
the imports, and that within the last few
years Japanese cotton goods had more
and more crowded out English cotton
goods, SURPRISING the English imports
last year Japan sends to Korea, in adj
dition to these cotton goods, cigarettes,
rice-brandy, matches, iron and iron
ware, porcelain, salt, straw rope and
straw mating. It receives from Korea,
in return, provisiohs-especially rice,
beans, grain and salt meats-jewelry,
hides and manure. The value of the
goods exported by japan to Korea be-
tween 1895 and 1900 rose from 50, 800 900
to 100000 and the value of the ex-
ports from Korea to Japan from s., O00,-
600 to $500, 900, not including the pre-
cious metals. The value of the COM
merce between Korea and Japan, there
fore, surpasses that of the commerce be-
tween Korea and all other countries. In
1901, it amounted to s., zoe, 900, while the
commerce with China amounted to only
$4,000, 900, and the commerce with Rus

ests far surpass those of all other ma

brotherhood, adopting constitution:
Shortly after" officials Of the c.; b. e
@. ordered their conductors to leave
the Organization or the service, and
the divisions on that road went out Of
existence. "A call was issued Noyem-
Der, 1868, to all railroad conductors in
the United States and Canada to send
delegates to. a convention to be held
In Columbus, o., December 15.@ 1t was
at that convention that the benefit de-
partment was instituted and the con-
stitution finally adopted. At the time
the association was started It was a
"nonstriking" society, a clause In the
constitution forbidding the members
to engage in any strike, either on their
own account or to assist fellow en-
ployes. This clause remained part Of
the constitution : until the present
grand chief, E. e. Clark, made q fight
to have it stricken out in 1885,. Clark
appealed to the conductors throughout
the country on the ground that a pro-
tective policy under, which the mem
bers were FREQ to engage in strikes if
circumstances warranted would be
more satisfactory to the conductors.
He was elected grand chief on the is
sue, and although the organization has
not found it necessary to engage in
strikes, 1T has made wonderful prog
ress under the amended rule. AT that
time there vero h,,f $40 d;v;e;or. ,,,;4L

Last April the amount Of claims paid
was $115,0oo. = The association has
trade agreements with practically all
the railroads in the country.

Koreans had only 721 ships, the Rus

Japan had only $50 ships, with a total
displacement of 304 ,224 tons, engaged in
Korean commerce. Already the entire
regular passenger freight and postal
traffic is in the hands Of the two Japan
csc steamship companies, Nippon
Yusen-Kaisha and Osaka-Shosen-
Kaisha, which are among the first steam
ship companies in the world. They re-
ceive large subsidies from the Japanese
government, which is said to spend, an
nually, not less than $4,000, 900 in SUBJ

panies. Japan herself to-day owns $40
steamers, with a total displacement of
1000 tons, all of which are at the dis
posal Of the government in time of war,
some as auxiliary cruisers. and the rest
as transports for troops and war mate
rial of all kinds.
The relations between the Russians
and the Koreans are essentially differ
ent. The commerce between the two
countries is inconsiderable. Korea
sends to Russia chiefly cattle for
the Russian troops, rice, vegetables
and oats, receiving, in return, woven
goods wadding, aniline dyes, pc
troleum, candles, matches, etc. Be
tween 1894 and 1896, the exports from
Russia to Korea averaged 500 900, and
the imports, from Korea $50, 900. Most
of the goods sent from the coast district

London (England) Special.
A remarkable document is the opinion
published by the London Times over the
name of Count Leo Tolstoy. Remarkable
in it's utter detestation of all wars, its
advice to the Russian reservlsts not to
fight, and its denunciation of the social
and political order not only of Russia
but of the world; most remarkable in its
earnestness, and in the picture it gives
of the sufferings which the czar's peas
ant soldiers have had to undergo. He is
utterly intolerant Of what exists in the
political world of Europe, and he sees
no hope save in a universal refusal to
take part in the present contest, in any
shape or form. Refuse to kill" that is
the note of Count Tolstoy's manifesto.
