Japan intends to dominate the
commerce of Korea. Already the
consuls report that the banking bus
mess is in the hands of the mem
bers of that race, and other lines
are trending the same way.
Railway building in Korea has
gone one apace during the past -
months. Fully $4,000 has been
expended in railway extensions at
a cost of about $4,000 a mile. The
gross value of the foreign trade for
1904 was $26,617,4S7, of which s13,-
600 was for imports from
abroad.
The latest population figures give
Korea 100000 souls, this count in
Guiding Ham Keung, a province in
the north which was formerly I'M
der Russian influence. Seoul, the
capital, has 100000 inhabitants and
is growing rapidly. There are So
600 Japanese in the kingdom and
more are coming all the time.

Our share of this was $50,023, 900.
In 1904 the largest item in our
commerce with Japan was mineral
oils, S5,500,000, and the second
largest flour, $4,000, 900. But dur
ing the past fiscal year oil has
given place to cotton as the princi-
pal export to Japan.
The largest item of purchase from
Japan made by the United States in
1904 was raw silk and waste, $50,
100000. This was followed by silk
manufactures, 100000; tea. S.

$1,000, 900.
Japan is preparing to substitute a
line of steamers for call at South
American ports. The purpose, it is
said, is to get cheap wheat from the
Argentine. This is in accordance
with a policy recently adopted by
the mikado's. government, to en-
courage the eating of wheat in
place of rice. which is reported by
Japanese scientists to be less nu-
tritious than the cereal foods.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-No
country in the world is showing a
more lively interest in the Panama
canal than Japan. Word comes to
the state department that no less
than $4,000, 900 has been set aside
by the government engineers for
improvements in harbors, wharves,
piers, etc, to accommodate the
greatly increased shipping which
the canal is expected TO bring.
Within the past eight years So
000,000 has been spent on the prin-
cipal Japanese ports, and the work
is still going forward.
Thirty japanese ports are now
open to the worlds trade. At four
of these there cleared in 1904 Jap
anese vessels with a total registry
of 1868 45 tons, and foreign ships
with a total registry of 12092,615

The Hague peace conference of
1899 resulted from call issued by
the Russian emperor to the govern
ments of the principal civilized
states of the world. Delegates rep
resenting 81 states responded.
Among other matters considered
was the question of the limitation
of ornaments and arrangements for
settling disputes between the states
by the mediation of other powers.
The final act of the conference,
signed July 20 by all the powers
represented, consists of three
treaties, three formal declarations
and six resolutions. The first treaty
or convention deals with the pacific
settlement of international dis
putes, the second with laws and
usages of war on land, and the
third provides for the adaptation of
the rules of maritime warfare to
the principles of the Geneva con-
vention of 1864.
1t was unanimously agreed to
abolish the use of projectiles or ex.
plosives from balloons for a period
of five years, and the use of bullets
which expand or flatten easily in
the human body was to be aban
doned.
The employment of projectiles
which diffuse asphyxiating gases
was condemned, but the right tC

rules were lad down for their guild

BOARD OF WORKS DEv0TES
TIME TO SUBJECT
Committee of Citizens consults With
Officials, and Plans for Better
System Of Street Cleaning
Are Discussed

The care of the streets was the chief
of the board of public works yesterday
afternoon. Street Superintendent Han
ley and City Engineer Stafford were
present to assist the board in dealing
with the questions that came up for
discussion.
A committee of citizens. headed by
DR.. w. @. Dodge, appeared before the
board in reference to the dust nuisance.
Secretary Zeehandelaar represented the
Merchants association on the same err
rand. Several plans were discussed,
but the most feasible seems to be that
of sweeping large part of the streets
in the business section by hand, after
having washed them with water un-
der pressure.
The committee proposed that Super
intendent Hanley employ fifty addi-
tional men to sweep the streets between
Temple and Tenth and Hill and Main.
Mr. Hanley and the board were willing
to try the experiment, but Chairman
Kern explained that the question of
finances had to be considered. eve can
not tell" said Mr.. Kern, whether the
city can meet this additional expense
until we have report from the city
auditor"
Secretary Zeehandelaar then volun-
teered the information that he believed
the citizens will be willing to make
up any deficit that may occur during
the present fiscal year in case the city
is unable to bear all the expense. 1t is
expected that some definite plan will
ing Monday.
superintendent Hanley suggested to
the board that consideration be given
to the advisability of paving several
bad streets. He recommended that
Bellevue avenue be paved as far east
as San Fernando street, that First
street be paved from Hill to Bunker
Hill avenue, and that the paving on
Third and Fourth streets be carried
as far west as Bunker Hill avenue.
These suggestions will be considered
as part of the general plan.
Mr.. Hanley said he had been making
an investigation of the working of the
machines used for sweeping the streets.
He said he had found, much to his sur
prise, that the automatic sweepers can
be operated for about $50 month each
less than those drawn by horses. The
council may determine to purchase two
more sweeping machines.
