From Jail to the Ecnch.

Francis Pembcrton lG25-9I was i'm
prisoned in the Fleet for debts con-
tracted during a period Of youthful ex-
travagance. While In jail he applied
himself to the study of law and came
to be regarded US kind of legal oracle
by his fellow prisoners. VINO nicknamed
him Counselor. With the fees they
gave him for legal advice he bought
books to continue his studies. He then
prevailed upon his creditors to grant
his release from prison that he might
the sooner earn money to pay OF his
debts. Called to the bar in 1854, after
n brilliant career In the palace court at
Westminster and subsequently in the
house Of lords, he. became a puisne
judge. He was knighted in 1876 and
ultimately, on the dismissal of Scroggs,
was made lord chief justice in 1851.

cOREA's INDEPENDENCE
Guaranteed by Treaty Of Shimonosoki,
Which Japs Will Respect.

Washington, May 19.-''The treaty Of
Shimonosoki which brought to close
the Japanese Chinese war guaranteed
the independence Of COrea. Japan will
not violate the terms of that treaty.
Statements that the japanese govern
ment contemplates removing the En-
pcror of Ccrea to Japan in contraven-
ton Of that treaty are incorrect and
are circulated with n mischievous pur-
rose of view
This was the comment on the ST.
Petersburg dispatch that Japan intend
ed to remove the COrcan Emperor to
Japan. made by Minister Takahira Of
Japan, tonight. The minister had heard
recently that reports of this character
were in circulation. AS between the
governments of Japan and China it is
realized that so long as interests of the
United States are not menaced there is
no ground for this government to inter-
fere in this connection except perhaps
TO exert it's good influences for the con-
tinuation of friendly relations between
them.
Acting Secretary Loomis Of the state
department said, tonight. that the pro-
test spoken of in the ST. Petersburg dis
patch had not yet reached the state de-
partment.
