sador. copy of the circular note addressed
to the powers by the government of Rus
STA protesting against the execution of the
reported Japanese purpose to convey the
Emperor Of Korea to Japan and make him

allegation that the Japanese project would
be In violation of that part of the treaty
of Shmonoseki which guaranteed the alb
sclute independence of Korea.
Mr.. Loomis duly acknowledged the re-
ceipt of this communication, and in view
OF the published denials from Tokyo Of any
such purpose as that mentioned on the
part OF the Japanese government 1t will
probably be unnecessary to take any action
here.

propaganda has decided to submit to the
pope the question of the annulment OF the
marriage of Col. F. III. Parkhurst or BAN
gor. Me, to Miss Marie Jennings Reid OF
New Orleans and Washington, now the
Princess Joseph Rospigliosi.
The case contains legal proof that colonel
Parkhurst was not baptized, while the dis
