HOW JAPAN FORCED
THE KOREAN GOVERNMENT
SENSATIONAL STORY RECEIVED
IN ST. PETERSBURG
Report Declares Mikados Men Secured
Royal Seal by Force and Affixed
1t to Treaty, the Emperor Persist
ing in His Refusal
BY Associated Press.


ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 25-The
official Russian news agency has re-
ceived a dispatch from Shanghai giving
a sensational account of the manner in
which the Japanese forced the Korean
government to acquiesce to the treaty
between Korea and Japan. The Tele-
gram purports to be based on direct
news from Seoul and contains the fol-
lowing particulars:
"On Friday, November II, at noon,
Baron Hayashi and Nj. Harivada and
Kokubu entered the palace with the OBJ
ject of forcing the emperor to sign the
treaty. The emperor and the ministers
obstinately resisted. At 8 o'clock in the
evening Baron Hayashi then informed
the Marquis Ito of the situation. The
latter, accompanied by Gen. HasegaWa,
commander of the Japanese troops in
Korea, with a military escort, includ-
ing gendarmerie came to the palace,
but UP to midnight had not succeeded
in persuading the emperor to sign
Thereupon Secretary Stevens brought
from the ministry of foreign affairs
the official seal of the ministry, which
was obtained by force, and, at 1890
o'clock in the morning, the japanese
themselves placed the seal on the
treaty, the emperor to the end refus-
ing to give his signature" The dis
patch concludes:
"The entire palace, even the private
apartments of the emperor, are now
occupied by Japanese gendarmerie, and
it is probable that the Japanese Will
soon compel the emperor to sign"

SAYS CREMATORY
COMPANY WINS
LUTHER BROWN DECLARES
THE FIGHT IS ENDED
New Structure Being Built at Six
teenth and Grover Streets viii
Cost When Completed
About $4,000

The Los Angeles Crematory associa-
tion claims that 1t has won the fight
with the citizens of Pico Heights and
that It is now impossible to stop the
erection of the proposed building at
the corner of Sixteenth and Grover
streets. Work on the building has
been under way for almost a month
and a considerable portion of the foun-
dation is completed.
I'VE are paying no attention to the
fight against u.s." said Luther Brown,
legal representative of the associa-
ton. "The council cannot now pass
an ordinance to prevent the building
being erected. We won when we got
the building permit and started TO
work on the plant
"It cannot damage the property near
It when it is put in operation for 1t
will be entirely sanitary and one Of
the most up-to-date crematories in the
country. There will be absolutely no
odor from 1t because 1t will be so ar
ranged that complete combustion Will
take place.
THE only thing that those fighting
it can base legal action on is to at
tempt to prove 1t nuisance. They
cannot do that until it is in opera
their claim.
1.-The building is not only a beauti-
full architectural design but will be
surrounded by beautiful grounds.
The plant when completed will rep
resent an expenditure of about $5000C
and will be an enterprise that will add
to the advantage of the city for 1t viii
be one of the best crema tories in the
country"
