ACQUISITION OF KOREA
Its Control by Japan the Great Pri
of the War

Its Control by Japan the Great Prize
of the War.
The announcement that Japan will
assume the actual direction Of Korean
affairs ought not to occasion the slight
est surprise, says the Boston Tran
scrip The control of Korea Is one
Of the great prizes, If not actually the
great prize, Of Japanese victory. By
making herself the suzerain of Korea,
Japan not only provides room for the
expansion Of her population, but
guards herself from attack from that
quarter. Korea, a hermit kingdom,
was weak against aggression from
Russia. For more than q decade the
diplomatic game between Russia and
Japan for paramountcy at Seoul had
been hot when the struggle became
one of arms.
The swiftness with which the jap
anese effected Judgment in Korea at
the very outset Of the war showed
their keen sense Of the trategic i'm
portance. Held by them it separated
the Russian line. By holding 1t the
Japanese were firmly planted on the
Russian sea communications between
Port Arthur and vladivostock. On
the Landslide it threatened the Russian
flank, and its possession has been a
most effective aid to the Japanese op-
eratiOns against Port Arthur. But
these are the immediate crescent ad-
vantages of Japan's control of Korea.
The future advantages will not fall
only to the lot of Japan.
Korea has been Ill governed. save
at times when foreign influences has
checked the bloody-minded feudalism
Of its native rulers. There have been
revolts which have been followed by
massacreA Korean politics being on a
small scale similar to those of China
Sometimes Japan has checked this
tendency, at others Russia, as the
game for control has turned. Under
Japan the Korean will know enlight-
ened orderly rule. They will not be
subject to the caprices of a nlorose
despotism. The resources Of the coun-
try will be developed Trade and COM
MERGE will be encouraged, and this
will be for the benefit of the world.
A shrewd people not only willing
but anxious to trade, the Japanese will
welcome foreign capital in the develop
ment Of Korea, and this will be for
the advantage Of the world. Indeed,
the japanese victory will generally
make for the worlds good, for its ul-
Innate purpose is the regeneration of
China to such an extent as to make
her a power with which all nations can
do business. To this end Japan's man
agement Of Korea will be a powerful
contribution The japanese statesmen
In the midst Of their triumph are care
full Of the susceptbilities Of the Ko-
reans. They do not rudely tear down
the native dynasty, but, initiating the

ence firmly In all the important ad.

CHAPTER XIV.


The voice died away into a wall, then
broke out in a new racket. Joan stepped
to the door and flung it wide. As my
eyes grew used to the gloom inside they
saw this:
A rude kitchen-the furniture but two
rickety chairs, now toss'd on their faces.
an oak table, with legs sunk into the
earth, a keg of strong waters, tilted over
and draining upon the mud floor. ladder
leading up to a loft, and in two Of the
corners a few bundles of bracken strewn
for bedding. To the eft, as one en-
tered. was an open hearth; but the glow
ing peat-turves were now pitch'd to right
and left over the :hearthstone and about
the floor, where they rested, filling the
den with smoke. Under one of the chairs
a black cat spat and bristled, while in the
middle of the room, barefooted in the
embers, crouched man. He was half
naked, old and bent, with matted gray
hair and beard hanging almost to his
waist His chest and legs were bleed
ing from score Of scratches, and he
pointed at the cat, opening and shutting
his mouth like a dog. No way upset.
Joan stepped across the kitchen, laid me
on one of the bracken beds, and ex-
plain'd:
That's feyther."
With which she turn'd, dealt the old
man q cuff that stretch'd him senseless,
and gathering up the turves. piled them
sfresh on the hearth. And then, when
she had shifted my bed bit, to case the
pain of lying, she righted a chnir, drew
it up and sat beside me. The old man
lay like log where he had fallen, and
was now snoring. Presently the fumes
Of the liquor, Or mere faintness, mastered
me, and my eyes closed. But the picture
they closed upoa was that Of Joan, as
she leaned forward, chin on hand, with
the glow Of the FIRE on her brownish
skin and in the depths of her dark EYES.
But the pain Of my heart followed Into
my dreams. l woke with a start and
tried to sit up Within the kitchen all
was quiet. The old savage was still
stretched on the floor; the cat curled
upon the hearth The girl had not stir
red; but looking toward the window hole,
saw night outside, and frosty star
parking far down In the west.

they should. They think that they
must undress and go to bed to be thor

footstool in the room on which the
feet may rest while the other part of

The report of the commissioners
sent out by the British Government
to investigate the cotton growing pos

this evening in the form of a White
Paper, states the Weekly Witness. 1t
says: Unless difficulties which at
present appear to be insuperable can
be removed, cotton cultivation in East
Africa will never be undertaken on
any considerable scale" First among
the difficulties the commissioners
place labor, on account of the apathy
of the natives and their disinclina-
ton for work. the total area devoted
to cotton growing under European
supervision can scarcely exceed a few
thousand acres.
