In Toxic. Japan will control the finances
and foreign relations Of Korea. The
foreign relations will be under the d.
,rsction of Durham White Stevens, coun-
selor Of the japanese legation at Wash
rington, D. @.
VI The treaty marks the retirement Of
J. McLeavy Brown, who for several
years last past has acted as the financial
adviser of the Korean empire. Mr..
Brown is an Englishman, and his word
has been almost law in Korea. Under
the new treaty M. Megaly, director Of
tho revenue bureau at Toxic. will sue
coed him.
The appointment of an American to
act as adviser" of Korea In all matters
Affecting the foreign relations Of Korea
ts likely to cause marked comment.
: The Japanese government >, in an Of
dcial explanation, intimates that Mr..
Stevens will exercise supervision Of all
concessions granted to foreigners in the
sphere of commerce and industry.
As heretofore cabled, under the agree
ment, the Korean army will be disband-
I'd and the kingdom safeguarded by JAP
anese troops. Korea coinage will be dis
placed by Japanese. Japanese police
will take the place of Korean.
The main features Of the agreement
IRE officially stated to be as follows:
F1rst-The Korean government shall en-
gage as financial adviser to the Korean
government a Japanese subject recon-
mended by the Japanese government, and
all matters concerning finance shall be
dealt with after his counsel has been taken.
aacond-The Korean government shall

partment Of foreign affairs foreigner

mont. and all important matters concern
lue foreign relations shall be dealt with
after his counsel has been.taken.
Third-The Korean government shall
previously consult the Japanese govern
ment in concluding treaties and conven-
lions with foreign powers and In dealing
with other important diplomatic affairs.
such a. the granting Of concessions to or
the making Of contracts with foreigners.
The japanese explained the foregoing
agreement as follows:
This agreement is nothing more
than 4 natural and logical sequence to
he protocol Of February %. It will be
remembered that in this protocol the
japanese government undertook to
give advice to the Korean government
With regard to the improvements OF ad-
eninistration, which advice the latter
hgrsed to accept with full confidence.
f@ 'Ths financial embarrassment OF the
Korean government has in the past
been q constant cause Of internal
trouble, and tho chief hindrauce to the
development Of foreign commerce.
This serious aspect Of Korean admins
tration naturally attracted the first at
tention Of the Japanese government.
'Article No. 8 is not intended to place
IN impediment on the legitimate enter
prise Of foreigners in the sphere Of COM
merce and industry, but is calculated to
serve as precaution against the con-
clusion of improvident and dangerous
engagements, which, in the past, have
proved to be sources Of serious compli-
cations, such as was shown conspicu-
ousy in the case Of the Russian lease at
Yongampho."
At the Japanese legation Of Wash
ington it was stated that, the story
given out in Toxic was fully known to
tho minister and that Mr.. Stevens Sc
lection had been made after consulta-
uon with him. Mr.. Stevens will leave
Washington for Korea at once and will
take up his residence in the capital Of
the country. He has been in the service
OF Japan for ~ years and his standing in
the diplomatic corps 10 high. he being
steemed a. q man Of attachments and

they were weaned and big enough to

The motherly blacksnake had become
