fited.

BETTER FOR KOREA.
Washington Diplomats Discuss the
Far Eastern Situation.

Chicago July PA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
It is the opinion of diplomats here that
after the first natural disturbances are
quelled Korea will be much the gamer
for the actual transfer of its control to
the Japanese. For generation Korea
has been disturbed with all sorts of
feuds. The emperor, who was just de-
posed, and his two sons have manifested
a complete incapacity for the science
of government
Long before the war with Japan and
Russia it was evident to every student
of oriental affairs that Korea was des-
tined to be wiped off the map and that
too at no distant period. Oriental stu
dents say that it was much better for
Korea that the change of sovereignty
should be to the Japanese and not to
some European nation The Japanese
are affiliated with the Koreans in a
thousand different ways and the two
nations will amalagamate a great deal
more certainly than If the emperor of
Korea had been forced to abdicate in
favor of Caucasian government.
All reports indicate that the Japanese
acted with great moderation. They
planned to take over Korea at the out
set of the war with Russia. The forced
abdication of the emperor was discussed
q long while ago. There has been a
practical understanding for nearly a
year between nearly all the great pow
ers that Japan was entitled to the fruits
of victory in Korea as it was evident
that the Anticipated empire could not
possibly maintain itself.

GUNDA swIPED HIS ROLL.
A Zoo Elephant Grabs Bridegroom's
Honeymoon Funds.

New York, July 22.-Gunda. an ele-
plant at the Bronx geological park,
abruptly ended a country couples
honeymoon by chewing all their ready
cash. The big animal collects cents
daily from spectators and hordS tn EN-
in a bank up above his head
James Hinchcliffe and his bride, who
were just married at Pawling, N. Y,
were standing before Gunda's cage
watching him collect pennies from the
crowd when 1t suddenly occurred to
the bridegroom to see if pickpockets
had tried to get his roll of bills. This
roll was specially for the bridal trip,
and amounted to about $3.50.
He pulled the roll out of his pocket
upon which Gunda deftly grabbed the
greenbacks with his trunk and stuck
them into his mouth. The bride
screamed and the bridegroom shouted
at seeing the elephant placidly MUNICH
ing the money. Two keepers rushed
up and prodded the beast until he
yielded the cash. The money looked
as if it had been through a corn shell
ler only a single dollar bill was pass
able. The bride wept bitterly but the
bridegroom cheered her with the OBJ
servation that the elephant had left
them enough with which to return to
Pawling. But before that he will try
to get the subtreasury to redeem some
of the pulpy tens and twenties.

HE MAY YET BE KING.
Second Son of Korea's Old Emperor
Educated in America.

New York, July 22.-Prince Euiwha,
or Huiwha zee, the second son of the
abdicated emperor of Korea, who was
prior to his fathers retirement from
the throne of the hermit kingdom, gos-
siped about in diplomatic circles abroad
as possible successor owing to his
strong pro-Japanese leanings, is well
known In New York city, where he fire.
quently visited incognito during his stu
dent days at Roanoke college, Virginia.
In Washington it is thought that Eui-
wha may become emperor soon, as his
brother, who has taken the throne, is a
weakling.
"Penkeel." by common consent, was a
royal spender-just the sort New York
likes. He used to slip over here once
a month or so from Roanoke college,
when he was supposed to be buried deep
in study and have a good time.
The prince was slender and an affable
young fellow, with almond eyes and an
olive complexion. He spoke fairly good
English. He tarried in the Haymarket
and other blase resorts up town and
watched and occasionally took part in
the goings on, but always with that
quaint, cynical, hooking Oriental smile.

Rector. was a bigamist. She claimed
he had married her in Leavenworth
March 16, 1905, and then married an
other Leavenworth girl February 81.
Attorney Harper went to Judge john
sons records and looked the applica-
lions for marriage licenses over and
was convinced that the signatures of
James F. Rector and John Rector
were one and the same. He then is
sued the warrant which was placed in
the hands of Sheriff Brown and Rec
tor was arrested. The prisoner says it
a case of mistaken identity.
