Hallett of the u. S. district court to-

ton of Sherman Parker. now in the

KoREA's IMPoRTAN

Korea. a country little heard of IN
til brought into prominence by the con-
tentions of Japan and Russia for the
right to control. seems hardly worth
fighting for in itself from the viewpoint
of the remainder of the world.
American products, both manufac-
tured and otherwise. are popular in
Korea, but the very large proportion
reach that country through China and
Japan. and the direct trade of the
United States with Korea is extremely
small 1t is only within a compara-
lively short time that the direct trade
of the United States with Korea was of
sufficient Importance to justify a sep
arate record. In 1897 the exports from
the United States to Korea were $500
in value; in 1898. S125. 900: in 1902, $751;
O0O and for the eleven months ending
with November, 1908, $685. 919, indicating
that for the entire calendar year 1903
the total exports to Korea from the
United States will amount to about
$40o 600.
While this is a rapid growth, it does
not show the entire value of merchan-
disc from the United States entering
Korea. Many of these articles from the
United States consumed in Korea are
sent first to Japan or China and from
those countries shipped into Korea. The
value of American petroleum consumed
in Korea in 1901 is stated at over $780,
600; machinery and supplies, $250,ooo,
and electrical goods and lumber. $685.
600. These importations Of merchandise
from the United States were due in
part, largely, perhaps, to the presence
of Americans engaged in mining opera
tons in Korea and the purchase by
them in the United States of machinery
and Supplies for that work.
The Statesman's Yearbook puts the
total trade passing through the treaty
ports" of Korea at ten million yen in
imports and about nine million yen OF
exports in 1897, and in 1901. fifteen mil
lion yen of imports. but only nine mil
lion yen of exports. thus Indicating the
growth, especially in. imports. which II
1901 We're over so per cent in excess Of
those of 1897. These figures, however
relate to the treaty ports only. The
value of the yen IS about 50 cents. OIL
practically identical in value with the
japanese yen.
The imports are chiefly cotton ant
wooden goods. metals, kerosene, silk
and machinery for the use of the rail
ways and those engaged in their con
struction. The chief exports are rice
beans, hide, ginseng, and copper. TIL
currency chiefly consists of copper casl
and nickel COINS gold and silver coin
being out of circulation. The total cur
rency is stated as aggregating abou
$22, 100000, of which $6,000,000 is cope
cash. ST., GOO nickel. $1.55o,e00 Japa
nese coins. and $530,OO0 Korean sifve
dollars.

TOO MANY DEER ON HAND.
Buckwood Park Has 1000 and They
Refuse to Depart.

Stroudsburg, Pa, Jan. 19.-The 1000
deer at Buckwood park, this county, are
multiplying SEQ rapidly that the owner,
C. c. Worthington, the New York mil
lionaire, is trying to find some way
of disposing cf&them. A few months
ago an opportunity was given them 10
get away; but few have left.
For fully a mile the fence is not more
than four feet high, and over this the
deer can jump and do jump; but they
will not stay out and jump back into
the park.
Eighteen deer have recently been
caught and shipped, IL of them to
Mauch Chunk for breeding purposes in
Penn Forest, and seven to Egg Har-
Dor, N. j., also for stocking up pur-
noses

Eight ports of Korea are open to for
eign trade and are classed as treaty
rorts.'. Treaties were made between
Korea and the United States in 1882, and
in the same year with China; in 1888
with Germany and Great Britain; in
1884 with Russia and Italy; in 1886 with
France; in 1899 with Austria, and in
1899 further treaty with China Under
these treaties Chemulpo, F'usan, Wun-
san, Seoul (the capitaD, Chinampo,
AIOlkpo, SOngchin, Masanpo and Kunsan
have been opened to trade. The actual
trade through non-treaty ports, how
ever, is much greater than that through
the treaty parts-probably fully double.

Railways, telegraphs. telephones, and
a postal system have been recently in
troduced into Korea. A railway from
the seaport of Chemulpo to Seoul, the
capital, a distance of 26 miles, was
built by American contractors, and has
reduced the time between the seaport
and capital from eight hours to one and
three quarter hours. The Seoul Elec-
trio company, organized chiefly by
Americans and with American capital,
has built and operated an electrical
railway near Seoul, which is much used
by the natives. This electrical plant is
said to be the largest single electrical
plant in Asia. The machinery is i'm
ported from the United States, and the
consulting engineer, a Japanese, is a
graduate of the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology. Transportation in
the interior is chiefly carried on by por-
ters, pack horses, and oxen, though
small river steamers owned by Japa
nese run on such of the streams as
are of sufficient size to justify the use
of steamers

rian railway into Chinese territory
means that Russia proposes to get a
seaport outlet from the Manchurian and
Corean coasts. Naturally Japan siren
uously opposes this as she realizes that
Russia would be an autocratic and dan
gerous neighbor and besides would hem
in her little island territory from ex-
pansion. which is becoming so much
needed by her growing industries and
increasing population. If Japan sur
renders her forceful attitude the result
will be a transfer of Chinese sover-
eighty to Russian sovereignty over
Manchuria, and the result to the United
States would be that the recent COM
mereial treaties providing for the open
door policy in behalf of this country
would become a closed door through a
change of sovereignty over that coun-
try, for certainly treaties made with
China are not likely to be carried over
by Russia, unless they are found to be
to her advantage. Consequently to pre-
vent war. there must be a back-down.
