ITO TALKS ON CoREAN AFFAIRS
Hermit Kingdom Is Not TO BE Fair
for japanese SpoiIs-
men.

SEOUL. Nov. Is 2SAIarquis Ito, in sum"
ming up the Corean situation, dwelling upon
the trust placed by foreign powers in Japan,
by allowing that government free hand;
the responsibilities of Japan to the
tves, ana the fact that the peninsula would
not be an Eldorado for japanese spolls-
men, said 20 the Associated Press:
Various irresponsible newspapers have
greatly embarrassed Japan By writing OF
Corea as a conquered state, where the ia
panesc were free to do anything irrespec-
tive of the rights of foreigners and the
natives, and that the Corean people were
not to be considered. This has aroused
suspicious among the Coreans
The emperor of Japan sent me to arrange
a new treaty, to which the emperor of
Curea has agreed, although the proposition
meets with some opposition from other
sources.
Although Corea has transferred the con-
duct OF its foreign relations to Toxic, 1t
retains control of it's internal administra-
tion,
We accept a great trust and heavy re-
sponsbility, and the foreign powers con-
sent to the new arrangements.
The American government has already
announced the withdrawal OF its legation
and others will follow, but America warns
us not TO abuse the natives. 1t Is prob
able that Japan will advise those in control
of the Corean departments of the govern
ment, but they will not be connected with
the management.
The Japanese government or it's resident
general will deal with questions relating to
foreign affairs. but II is NOT yet known
who Will be appointed resident geneTal
However. those Japanese who expect that
the coming of this representative Will sig
naliZe drastic or decisive measures for the
exploitation of this country, disregarding
all the rights of the natives, will find them
selves mistaken.
We wish TO benefit ourselves, but our
greatest return will be derived from insur-
ing the welfare of the people for whose
destinies we now stand responsible.

ing in Prison.

ernor Folk is greatly incensed 10 learn that
James Hale, a federal prisoner who was

Leavenworth with money he had carefully

garding the prison revolt on last Friday in

changes will be introduced at the prison

vent a recurrence of the mutiny.

and new and modern long-range rifles will
be provided for the guards. The guards will
he uniformed and will be drilled twice
week by Adiutant General DeArmond, and
will be given target practice until they be-
come skilled in the use OF the new gun
An organization semi-miltary in charac-
ter will be maintained. The deputy warden
will be given the rank OF captain. his as
slstants will rank lieutenants. yard
masters win be sergeants ana so on down
the line.
A rigid search is being made for II. r
