ing to the present dynasty of Korea,
and the most sagacious in the entire
court of Seoul. Our emperor is the
actual leader in political activities in
the Korean capital. He personally
supervises and attends to internal and
foreign Affairs, great or small, without
asking the opinion of his ministers
The 'emperor possesses certain mag
snetic power that elicits the sympathy
Of those who come in contact With him.
He has graceful manners, fiuency OF
speech, a dignified yet obliging air, all of
which, coupled with his deliberatiye but
charming appearance, constitute char
acter that impresses one as that of an
approachable private individual rather
than as that of the ruler Of an empire.
He does not indorse the blind anti for
eign spirit. but is willing to receive for
eigners at his court. many of whom have
no official rank or degree of honor.
In spite of such apparently admirable
qualities, the emperor is creation of
unfortunate circumstances. He acts 80
inconsistency that at one time he shows
an extraordinary powerof jud gment and
foresight. while at another he seems as
though utterly devoid of wisdom and
intelligence. He is essentially secretiye.
and schemes and contriyes in the dark.
Like detective, he conceals his sus-
picious nature under a mask of polite
manners and amiable appearance. He
is ever trying to entangle in his tolls not
only foreign representatives at Seoul,
but his own ministers as we'll. Accord
ing to this writer. the reason for such
unhappy moods and conducts of the
emperor can be sought for in the fact
that his interest is thoroughly absorbed
in the effort to maintain the safety and
welfare of the present dynasty. How
ever, he has stanch adviser in DR..
Homer Hubert, editor of the Korean
Review.
To the emperor, every means is justi-
fable that would accrue to the strength
and stability of his court. In his opin-
ion, the safety of his royal throne should
have precedence even over the welfare
Of his subjects and the very indepen-
dence of his country. When Japan de-
clared war against China for the ayowed
purpose of preserving the independence
of the Hermit empire, the emperor was
an Indifferent onlooker, because in his
eyes the safety of his royal family was
more precious than his country itself.

HOW HE LOST BATTLE

NOUS DEFEAT.
Russian Commander Lays Blame for
Loss Of Conflict on Kuropatkin-A
Says Latter Ordered Retreat
at Noment Of Victory.

It Petersburg.-The arrival in st.
Petersburg of Gen. Gripenberg, for
mer commander OF the Second Man
churfan army, and his dismissal to the
front by the -czar, has .causedsa sensa-
ton IN military circles. The general
frankly avows that he relinquished his
command after the recent attempt of
the Russians to flank Field MARSHAL
Oyama, because Gen. Kuropatlkin re-
fused to send him help when victory
was in Gen. Gripcnberg's hands, and
instead ordered him to withdraw
Gripenberg personally reported on the
situation to Emperor Nicholas, and
after long consideration the car
sided with Kuropatkin and ordered the
former to the front.
Kuropatkin's side of the story is that
he intended only to make demon
stration in force, and that Gripenberg
pressed the attack too far and became
too much involved.
Il am glad to give an account OF
the battle of my army, the kilograms
have seen being far from the truth, !"
said Gripenberg. in an interview.
'Kuropatkin, of course, authorized the
advance, but he imposed the condition
that it should not go beyond Hell
kOutaf and Sandepas. My plan was
to capture Heikoutai and thence out
flank Sandepas. From the First army
corps before Heikoutai l detached a
brigade which occupied Heikoutai.
The japanese cut in from the south,
and the brigade came under cross
fire, but held out until got up an
other brigade to cover its retreat. The

their left. During the evening I and
my army were ordered under no cir
cumstances to fall back from our pO-
sitions. The next morning my whole
front was engaged, the troops being
disposed as follows: On the extreme

sion Of the Second corps, which had
just arrived from Russia. Altogether
I had G. battalions. The enemy had
twice as many.
THE battle of the next day was con-
tinued until the evening. We did not
surrender an inch of ground. My
left flank, which was clearing the road
to Sandepas, being weak, l asked the
commander-in-chief, who had GO bat
talions available, for reenforcements.
He declined to send any. Early the
following day the fiercest fighting oc-
Cured. We again held our own.
The road to Sandepas, the Japanese
point of concentration, was quite clear
pealed to the commander-in-chieff for
reenforcements. If he had listened to
my entreaties we would have riven
the iron ring of 100000 Of the enemy.
In desperation they four times as
saulted our outer positions and were
beaten OFF each time in such brilliant
fashion that it does my heart good to
remember the gallantry of my brave
comrades.
II might easily have followed up
these repulses by q headlong often
sive movement, but was tied down
by the commandsr-in-chief's restric-
lions and his refusal to send us reen-
forcements.
s'The reply of Gen. Kuroparkin ar
rived at five in the evening in the
shape of an order to leave small
force in our positions and move up
the army to his support in view of the
expected Japanese advance on the
center. How was it possible for the
Japnese to attack the center when all
their available forces were diverted
west?

An Appreciation Of "sunshIne.".
'TERNATIoNAL HEADQUARTERS.

An Appreciation Of "sunshIne.".
& The following tribute to Sunshine" is
by James billiard, member of the fac
ulty of Tulane university, Louisiana:
Perhaps because I am teacher, l
think of the Sunshine society as one of
the educational institutions of our day
maybe for practical purposes one Of
the greatest. The object of education is
to- set us forward on the way to right
living-that is, to living life that shall
be true to our best self and helpful to
others, a life that shall be effective and
happy both for ourselves and for others.
I don't know of any school that Of
fers in its curriculum any course more
likely to bring us to this point than the
Sunshine curriculum. Suppose you were
to ask any wise parent these questions:
Which would you rather your child
should have learned, algebra or the dis
position to look on the bright side of
things?
(Which would you rather the child
should have learned, physics or the dis
position to think kindly of people?
(which would you rather the child
should have learned, Latin or the dis
position to find the good in one another?
(Which would you rather the child
should have learned, to speak French or to
speak happy, cheerful, helpful words Wher-
ever and whenever needed?"-and are
they not needed every day, everywhere?
If the parent be wise, he will surely
see that nothing will be worth more to
the child all his life than the disposition
to look on the bright side, to. think kind
ly, to seek the good and to speak cheer
fully. In actual practice does anything
help more to put one forward in the way
of life than such disposition? And the
disposition can be learned. And this is
the fine work of the Sunshine university.
