Japan Used Sword Point on
Korean Emperor.
RULER OF HERMIT KINGDOM
= APPEALS TO ROOSEVELT
Declares Japan Made Him a Prisoner
and Signed Famous Agreement
in His Behalf.

Washington, Dec. 12-Homer B.
Hubert, the special messenger from the
emperor of Korea is in receipt Of ca
blegram from Korea in which the em-
peror declares that the agreement be-
tween Korea and Japan is null and
void becauseit was obtained by force.
He also declares that he will never
sign this agreement IN its present form
and that the disturbances which at
tended the outrage" of November II
are likely to occur again.
Concerning the cablegram from the
emperor of Korea, Mr.. Hulburt said:
This is the first genuine word that
has been received from Korea giving
the real attitude of that government
toward the treacherous act of the Jap
anese. For several weeks the emper-
or was practically in confinement and
the japanese gave out the false state
ment that an amicable adjustment
had been made. This is now proven to
be untrue. The agreement was made
under duress and at the point of the
sword, but the emperor has at last
succeeded in piercing the Gordon of
Japan and getting information into
the outer world. AS long as my mis-
sion to America is no longer a secret
may add that the emperor, anticipat-
ing some such act Of bad faith on the
part of Japan, tried through me, to
forestall 1T by lodging an appeal with
President Roosevelt. The object of my
coming was surmised and the coup in
Seoul was hastened 80 that II occurred
on the very day of my arrival In
Washington. The emperor felt certain
that II President Roosevelt could be
made. aware of his sentiments, the
American government would hesitate
and ask few questions before accept
ing Japan's statements alone. The au-
thorties in Washington were almost
Immediately notified that this petition
we're here, but no arrangements were
made for its reception until after Ja-
pans statement was accepted and act
ed upon. The object of this cable
gram is to disavow any acquiescence
in the so-called agreement and Incl
dentally to call attention to that clause
of the treaty between America and
Korea in which the United States aoR-
nitely promises to use its good offices
in case Korea is oppressed or wronged
The United States was In full treaty

when upon the representations of Jap
an alone and apparently without con-
sulttng Korea, this government took
the lead in cutting off direct diplo-
matte relations with Korea.

STRIKERS STOP
TO Think
FEAR THEY ARE NOT YET
READY TO FIGHT THE CAR

st, Petersburg, Dec. 12.-Caution
having prevailed over the fury arous-
ed by the arrest of the strike leaders,
the workmen's council has rejected
the proposition to order a general
strike at present as untlmely. The
council realized the weakness and un-
preparedness of the workmen for a
general conflict and had been inform
ed that the railroad men had already
decided against the strike. The senti-
men OF the workmen's delegates
which was extremely depressed, has
been somewhat raised by the receipt
of a dispatch from Moscow claiming
that revolutionary propaganda has
finally taken hold among the Cos
sacks. the last hope Of the reaction.
The third squadron of the First regi-
ment of Cossacks is reported to have
held meeting and to have drawn up
service demands claiming that the
men are fed like dogs and shabbliy
clothed. This is the first sign of dis
affection among the Cossacks. Many
of the striking operators have lost
heart owing to the news from Moscow
that the leaders, when arrested, were
indulging i'm expensive suppers at
popular Moscow restaurants In COM
pany with women strikers and spend
ing funds lavishly on champagne and
expensive cigars and liquors.

The Party lines In RUSSIA.

While 1t is impossible I'm the

which are struggling for the
mastery In Russia. the foreign student
of Russian affairs can with profit bear
In mind the general party divisions as

first in all In the order of Importance
Is the party of reaction among the
mobiles who believe In the old regime
and among the great mass of peasant
ry who still believe that all good flows
from the Little Father" and the
church which continues TO "intelligen-
cla," black masses" the term by
which ignorant peasantry who COM
prise so per cent of the Russian peo-
pie, can at any time turn the scale. IN
skllful hands they therefore, will al
ways constitute an immense force In
favor OF counter revolution. There
are two parties under which the peas
antry might eventually be enlisted and
which may be said to make up the ex-
treme right. consisting OF those who
will never forgive the emperor for
the abrogation of autocratic power.
They talk of disposing Of Nicholas
and electlng "A new emperor. Prince
Dolgourki of Moscow, one of the de-
scendants of the Rurlks Is their
avowed candidate. The church party
under the name of the Holy alliance

been organized and these parties
might eventually unite for military
dictatorship against the revolutionary
forces Immediately to the left OF
this party of reaction might be placed
