MIR. BIGHAM IS NOT HOPEFUL.
Fears He VIII Not Be Reinstated in
Diplomatic Service.

W. H. Bigham, of White City, the de-
posed L. S. consul to Cape Town, South
Africa, who is now seeking reinstate-
ment in the diplomatic service, does not
seem to be very confident of success in
his ambitions. Mr.. Bigham was in To-
peka yesterday, visiting some of the
state house people who are interested
in his case.

service for the alleged reason that /
had served long enough, and yet they
appointed to my place man who had
been in diplomatic service for IA years.
OF course it is well understood that

BY the Way in Which the Korean
Treaty Has Been Discussed.

Seoul, Nov. 2S.-Marquis Ito in sum
ming up the Korean situation, dwell
ing upon the trust placed by foreign
powers in Japan by allowing that gov
ernment a free hand, the responsfbili-
ties of Japan to the natives, and the
fact that the peninsula would not be
an Ell Dorado for Japan spoilsmen
said to the Associated Press today:
Various irresponsible papers have
greatly embarrassed Japan by writing
of Korea as a conquered state, where
the Japanese were free 10 do any
thing, irrespective of the rights of for
eigners and the natives, and that the
Korean people were not to be con-
sidered. This has aroused suspicious
among the Koreans
1.-THE emperor of Japan sent me to
arrange a new treaty, to which the
emperor of Korea has agreed. al
some opposition from other sources.
Although Korea has transferred
her conduct of her foreign relations

internal administration.

untold suffering and myself many
sleepless nights. My babe was born
seemingly q fair, healthy child, but
when she was three weeks old a swell

and in course of time broke. It did
not heal but grew worse, and the sore
spread from the size of a dime to that
of a dollar I used all kinds Of reme-
dies that I could think Of, but nothing
seemed to help; in fact, it grew worse.
Her hair fell out where the sore was,
and I feared it would never grow again.
It continued until my aged father came
on a visit, and when he saw the baby
he told me to get Cutieura Soap and
Ointment right away.
To please him did 50, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
