been selected as diplomatic adviser to
Che department d foreign affairs Of
Korea. ii one of THE most popular men

well recognized that Mr. Stevens win |
be the real king Of Korea and VIII be
In post such as no American has ever
filled Nor Is any particular surprise
manifested at his selection. Giving ali

who have served here, men who are
well acquainted with bis relations to
Japanese diplomacy ID Washington say
that this diplomacy has been that Of
Stevens rather than Of the ministers
themselves. At has not escaped notice
here that one reason for Ills selection
by the milkado has undoubtedly been

to have this government as favorabiy
disposed as may be toward the COM
plete performance Of Japan IN Korea.
