HE CLAIMS THEY ARE DEsPIsED
BY ALL AND ARE TOTALLY UM-
LIKE THE JAPs AT HOME.

Angus Hamilton. former British at
tache at Toxic, has just issued book
on Korea. Here is what he says about
the japanese colonies in the Hermit
kingdom:
mo other foreigners are so deserv-
erly detested. Pulled up with conceit,
they now permit themselves to COM
NIT social and administrative ex-
cesses of the most detestabie charac-
ter. Their extravaganza arrogance
blinds them to the absurditIcs and
follies of their actions, making mani
fest the fact that their gloss of CIV
ilization is the merest veneer.
Their conduct in Korea shows them
to be destitute of moral and intel
lectual fiber. They are debauched in
business, and the prevalence of dis
honorable practices in public life
makes them Indifferent to private vir-
tue. Their existence from day to day,
their habits and their manners, their
commercial and social degradation,
complete an abominable travesty of
the civilization they profess to have
studied.
+ There are some $4,000 japanese in
Korea, and the Japanese settlement IS
the curse of every treaty port IN

RESERVOIR BREAKS
AT LEWISTON

LEWISTON, Idaho, March 26.-
The east wall of the new reservoir
broke Thursday night. Millions of
gallons of water rushed down thinly
settled gulch, doing damage to the
building of c. l.. Clifford, which was
directly in the path of the rushing
waters.
The break came with little or no
warning and the first intimation any
one had of 1t was the roar Of the flood
as 1t swept onward. When the waters
reached Main street they separated
and flooded the bottom lands.
1t will take about six weeks to re-
pair the reservoir. Had the break oc-
CURED in the summer a great deal of
damage would have been done as the
guleh is occupied then by many
people.

dition and demanded money. Just how
much was paid was not brought out
in court, but Mrs. Sueders said that
she kept-half of the money while Mrs.

She told that the O'Donnell woman

HliAMFR'S DESPERATE

During the war against China the
japanese took Port Arthur after one
days fighting. In spite of the chains
of forts on the surrounding hills, all
bristling with quick-fring guns, re-
doubt after redoubt was stormed by
the wildly -enthusiastic japanese. At
the close of the war Russia, France

to creep out unchallenged, though he
had been ordered by the Russian au-
thorties to remain at anchor until

Since their occupation the Russians
have made Port Arthur practically inn
pregnable, though a great drawback is
the absence of good water and even
of bad the quantity is insufficient. AS
