THE KOREAN SITUATION.
Statement of Japan's Real Position by
MARQUIS Ito.

A cablegram from Seoul says: Marquis
Ito, in summing up the Korean situation,
dwelling upon the trust placed by foreign
powers in Japan, by allowing that govern
ment a free hand, the responsibility OF ia
pan to the natives, and the fact that the
peninsula would not be an Eldorado for
Japanese spoiIsmen, said to the Associated
Press today:
Various irresponsible newspapers have
greatly embarrassed Japan by writing of
Korea as a conquered state. where the Jap
anese were free TO do anything. Irrespective
of the rights of foreigners as the natives,
and that the Korean people were not TO be
considered.
This has aroused suspicious among the
Koreans.
The Emperor Of Japan sent TO arrange
a new treaty. to which the Emperor Of Ko-
rea has agreed, although the proposition
met with some opposition from other
sources.
although Korea has transferred the con-
duct of her foreign relations to Toxic she
retains control Of her internal administra-
ton.
1--WE accept a great trust and heavy re-
sponsihiity, and the foreign powers oon-
sent to the new arrangement.
The American government has already
announced the withdrawal OF Its legation,

us not to abuse the natives. 1t is probable
that Japanese will advise those in control
OF the Korean departments Of the govern
ment. but they will not be connected with
the management
1.-THE Japanese government or its resident
general will deal with questions relating 10
foreign affairs, but II is not yet known who
will be appointed resident general How
ever those Japanese who expect that the
coming of this representative will sgnalize
drastic or decisive measures for the ex-
ploitation of this country, dsregarding all
the rights of the natives, will find them
selves mistaken
1--WE wish to benefit ourselves. but our
greatest return will be derived from insur-
ing the welfare of the people for whose des-
TIMES we now stand responsible.

ment permitting the excise board of the
District of Columbia to grant a license TO
the Columbia Golf Club within the mile
limit of the Soldiers Home"
The assessor states that there can be no
possible objection in granting full privileges
to this organization, as accorded TO other
clubs in the District of Columbia. because
no soldiers could obtain admission or re-
ceive intoxicants.
There should be q bill prepared and
submitted to Congress early as prac-
ticable covering thoroughly the subject of
corporations and their taxation in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The present law in re-
lation to corporations, as amended, is prac-
tically prohibitive. in that 1t requires the
total capital to be paid up before incorpo-
ration.
There should be an amendment 20 the
act of July /, 1902, section 0he present
license law, whereby in certain cases the
Commissioners of the District of Columbia
shall have discretion, when in their jndg-
ment property interests require the same, to
cause the rejection of certain licenses.
The assessor also mentions as necessary
an amendment to paragraph 46 of the IL
cense law pertaining to cigar dealers, SO
that dealers In cigarettes and tobacco may
be suitably taxed for licenses.
