SKIRMISHES IN KOREA.
Main Body of First Jap Army Near
Wi-Ju-BauditS

SEOUL, Korea, Monday, April II, 4:3O
p.m.-The Japanese authorities here say
there have been frequent skirnishes be-
tween Sak-Ju and Wi-Ju.
The main body of the first Japanese army
Is in the neighborhood of Wi-Ju.
About six hundred fat-chested Sandal
shod Korean infantrymen left Seoul today
for the northern part of Ham-Hiung Do
province, on the frontier of the Kirin dis
trict of Manchuria, to keep in order the
bandits who are constantly embroiled with
the Chinese settlers in the Tumen region,
which has resulted in the diplomatic repre-
sentations on the subject from China. 1t is
considered doubtful whether these troops
will reach their destination, fears being ex-
pressed that they will desert.
The Japanese minister to Korea, M. Ha-
yashi. has requested the Korean govern
ment TO facilitate the plans of General Ha-
raguchi. the commander of the japanese
forces at Seoul, for the thorough sanitation
of Seoul and the other large towns of Korea.

WAITING ON NEW YORK.
Effect Of Non-Indorsement Of Parker
on Southern States

on Southern States.
Georgia democrats are intensely interest
ed in the coming democratic state conven-
ton in New York ON account of the effect
which that meeting will have upon the
Georgia state convention, to be held two
days later. Upon the result of the Georgia
convention depends, 1t is said, the action of
the conventions of a number of other south
ern states The greatest Importance, there
fore, in the opinion of leading democrats,
attaches to the conference of the New York
democracy next Monday.
1t was said by Georgia democrats today
that if the New York state convention fails
to instruct for Judge Parker there will be
the biggest fight in the Georgia conven-
ton in the history Of the politics of that
section of the south. The Hearst men, un-
der the leadership of Representative Griggs,
are said to be standing at attention ready
to charge the convention in behalf of Mr..
Hearst's presidential boom If New York
does not instruct for Parker. 1t is said
that the Georgia convention then will be
wide-open, free-for-all fight, in which
German, Hearst and Parker will contest
for control, and that no one can foretell
the outcome.
Other southern states are also awaiting
with considerable interest developments in
New York and Georgia. One thing is ad-
mitted on all sides, except perhaps by Mr..
Hearst's henchmen, and that is that If
New York and Georgia declare for Parker
the solid south will swing into line and
Hearst and German will be eliminated for
the situation.
The wires were busy today between
Washington and New York, and Judge Par
ker's friends at the Capitol were sending
messages to the Parker managers in New
York city and Albany urging the absolute
necessity of instructing for Judge Parker
They were moved to do this by receipt Of
information from New York city that
Leader Murphy of Tammany is still vim
dfct1vely opposed to instruction for Judge
Parker and by knowledge of the fact that
the Hearst managers are basing all their
present hopes on the prevention of instruc-
ton.

ocratic newspapers, principally in the south
ern states, have this year asked for our
SERVICE"
The Cabinet Meeting.

Chinese exclusion and the probable ne
cessity for legislative or executive action,
in view of the denunciation by China of the
existing treaty. was again today the prin-
cipal topic of discussion at the meeting OF
the cabinet The President and his advisers
were in session for more than two hours.
They considered the subject in all Of Its
phases, but reached no definite conclusion.
chiefly, perhaps, because Attorney General
Knox has not been able yet to prepare mis-
opinion as to the legal status of the matter.
AS soon the Attorney General shall
have decided whether, in his opinion, exist
ing legislation relative to the exclusion OF
Chinese will be valid or not on the expira-
ton of the treaty with China. some decisive
steps will be taken. If it should be deter
mined that the legislation will lapse with
the treaty, then the Congress will provide
against general Chinese imm grafton by the
insertion in pending appropriation bill OF
an amendment covering the subject.
1t seems likely, from the tone of the dis
cuss.on at the cabinet meeting, that an
other treaty will be negotiated between the
United States and China. Indeed, some
moves in that direction already have been
made.
While the present treaty will be taken as
a basis of the negotia tions, 1t is not i'm
probable that some of the restrictions
placed upon the immigration of Chinese
may be modified as to merchants and the
higher class of Chinese Coolie laborers
and other classes of Chinese labor will be
excluded as vigorously as they are by the
existing laws.
Secretary Shaw discussed with the Presi-
dent and other members of the cabinet the
plans for the isthmian canal payments. 1t
will be necessary, 1t Is believed now, for
these to be made the latter part of this
month. The Treasury Department is pre-
pared to turn over the cash to the Panama
Canal Company and the republic of Pana-
ma as soon as the legal technicalities have
been complied with.
No other general business Of Importance
was considered although the individual
cabinet officers took up some minor depart
mental affairs with the President

years, an amendment was added as follows
