Paris, May 21.-Reports received here
through authoritative channels represent
Japan is carrying things with high
hand in Korea. Whether the reports are
influenced by sentiment, it is impossible
to say, but they recite number OF
specific facts supporting the view that
M Hayashl, the Japanese minister to
Korea, no longer observes the position OF
the other ministers at Seoul. He is said
to consider himself sort of governor
general, or viceroy, thus taking prece-
denee over his diplomatic colleagues who
are obliged to await his convenience in
dealing with the court and government.
The general commanding the Japanese
troops is represented as seconding this
assumption of precendence on the part
of the Japanese minister.
The official reports confirm the reports
from Pekin that the japanese recently
exercised strong pressure upon the Em-
peror of Korea to induce him to leave the
country and go to Japan, with the evil
dent purpose of removing him as an
obstacle to the development of japanese
control The Emperor is said to have
requested the departure of the Japanese
officials who made these representations
and to have taken discreet means to per-
NIT the European governments to learn
of the prospects of his removal. Finally,
when this information reached the st.
Petersburg foreign office, it issued pro-
test against Japan's assumption of con-
troll of the affairs in Korea.

New York. May 20-The Financier says
this week
Last weeks official statement of the
New York Associated banks was much
more unfavorable than expected, chiefly
for the reason that there was large
expansion instead of the looked for con-
traction in loans. Because of such increase
in this item, the loss of cash and the
augmentation of reserve was nearly cut
in half carrying 1t to within about $1,000
900 of the lowest OF the year, which was
the record of March IS.
The increase In loans by 500, 100000 can
be accounted for in no other way than
that ii was due to syndicate operations
for there was almost continuous liquida-
tion in the stock market during the week.
which should have resulted In a large
contraction in loans. Cash reserves de-
creased $4759,600. The deposits were In
creased 1892, 000 which amount was ST.
01S 300 less than the sum of the Increase
in loans. less the loss of cash. therefore.
the statement was technically out OF
proof The surrender of public delNsits
which was in progress through the New
York banks during the week on their own
account, and for their correspondents, and
which amounted to about SS,000'000 was
not fully reflected in the statement there
having been a reduction of only s2,5S3 500
in this item compared with the previouS
week, which reduction represents about
the amount of surrenders of public funds
by the city banks for themselves alone.
The required reserves against general de-
posits was augmented by S3,73S,OOo which
added to the loss of cash as above noted
made IS. 492. 500 as the reduction In sur

One feature was an increase of $6096O0 In

the beginning of the month. Though the
volume of speculative operations on the
stock exchange was reduced through COM
parative inertia at frequent intervals. the
