RUSSIA ENTERS PROTEST.
Report Japanese Intend to Remove
Emperor of Korea.

ST. Petersburg, May 23.-rhe Rus
sian charge d'affaires at Pekin has in
formed the Chinese government that
according to reports the Japanese in
tend removing the emperor of Korea to
Japan. in contravention of the treaty
of Shimonoseki. guaranteeing the indie
pendence of Korea. The Russian gov
eminent has protested against such ac-
ton to all the powers.
Washington. May 20.-'.The treaty
of Shimonoscki. which brought to a
close the Japanese Chinese war. guar
anteed the Independence of Korea.
Japan will not violate the terms of that
treaty. Statements that the Japanese
government contemplates removing the
emperor of Korea to Japan In contra
vention of that treaty are incorrect and
are circulated with mischievous pur-
pose in view"
This was the comment on the ST.
Petersburg dispatch that Japan In
tended to remove the Korean en-
peror to japan. made by Minister
Takahira of Japan tonight. AS be-
tween the governments of Japan and
China II is realized that so long as
interests of the United States are not
menaced there is no ground for this
government to interfere In this con-
nection, except. perhaps, to exert its
good Influences for the continuation
of friendly relations between them.

PALM HOUSE PRODUCT.
Successful Effort With Rare Plant in

New York Times: In the large palm
house at the Conservatives OF the
Bronx Bontanical Gardens they have
brought to flower for the first time in
the history of the glass house culture OF
the plant an especially fine specimen OF
one of the rarest and most majestic of
our American palms. This palm.

In It's Wild state bears the name
Pseudophoenix sargentii. and was first
discovered botanically and described
some years ago by Herr Werdland.

that time director of the Herrenhausen
palm garden at Hanover. Germany.
while on a collecting expedition In
southern Florida.
This palm. which is found only on
Elliotts Key. Off the coast Of southern
Florida. is the most graceful and beau
tifu of our American species, The
trunk is of beautiful symmetry. and is
crowned by a rounded mass Of leaves
of a rich green. which resemble those OF
the date palm. The leaves, which are
somewhat stiff. have clean-cut APP
pearance. and when at full growth the
tree attains height of forty feet. al
though the specimen at the botanical
gardens Is only twenty feet high.
So far as is known this palm has
never Powered before in any conserva-
tory. and there Is no other large speci-
men. outside of Florida, in cultivation
In the world. Young plants grown from
seed are In several OF the more import
ant European collections. and also In
this country. but 1t Will be many years
before they attain Towering growth.
The specimen In the gardens was Sc
cured in the fall of 1901 by Head Gar
dener Nash. who visited Elliott's Key
for the purpose of procuring speci-
men. Owing to the clearing OF the land
for pineapple cultivation. however. the
palms We're we'll nigh exterminated. He
found one poor lone specimen In the
center of pineapple field just about
ready to give up the struggle for exist
ence. and two other specimens In mod
erately good condition in use as shade
trees about the residence OF planta-
ton owner. Unable to procure
Specimen here he learned that before
the devastation had been completed a
number of large specimens Of the
pallns had been taken to Miami on the
mainland to be used on private
estate. Through the influence of
friend permission was secured to re-
move one OF them for the botanical gar
dens. 1t proved a very difficult plant
to transport. and 1t languished In dor
mant condition for year and half
in its new home before It sent forth Its
first leaf. but since that occurrence 1t
has done very we'll. and the palm In
flower, with all its wealth of new
leaves. is one OF the most striking In

gagement is imminent. Oyama is de-
ploying heavy forces against Line
vitch's left and is contracting his
troops along the center. but his base is
opposite the Russian right. 1t is not
yet clear which wing is making DEM
onstration and which will deliver the
main blow. 1t is evident from Line

accept a decisive battle.
st. Petersburg, May 20.-The war Of
flee confirms the report from Gunshu
pass that Oyama is on the eve of taxi
ing general offensive. No doubt is
entertained here that Linevitch will ac-
rept battle in his present positions The
naval staff believes Oyama's advance
was precipitated by doubt regarding
the issue of the coming naval battle
between Rojestvensky and Togo With
an unbeaten army in front of him.
Oyama's position might be critical IL
his communications with Japan We're
interrupted even temporarily.
