JAPAN STARTS TO
REFORM COREA
MARQUIS iTo's PROGRAM READY
FOR ADOPTION.
FLOODS DELAY MINISTERS
Meeting of Council of State Neces-
sarily Acknowledgements Sys-
TENS Followed in Revision of Gov.
eminent Of the Recently subdued
Territory.

Toxic, Aug. 29.-An important state
council, which was to be held today,
has been postponed until tomorrow,
o, lg to the fact that some of the
ministers and elder statesmen from
out of town have been detained on
account of the recent flood and con,
sequent damages to the railways.
The council has been specially
called to consider MARQUIS Ito's
plans, and Corean policy necessitated
by the new relations established by
the last convention between lorea
and Japan. The details of MARQUIS
Itos plans are unknown, but the
points are believed to
consist in effecting a thorough reform
in the land system, which is now in
a chaotic condition. and also the es-
adjustment of a new system of ju.
dietary and police on the Japanese
plan. These measures will naturally
be considerable of a drain OF the
Japanese treasury.
1t is thought that Marquis Ito plans
to ask an extra annual outlay of a
little over million yen, for period
of five years. Those well informed
are confident that with a reform ef-
fected in the land system, Corea's
revenues will increase remarkably,
without in the least mountaineering
the present taxpayers in the next FIVE
years. With Corea's financial indie
pendence assured it is most likely
that loans will be fioated with Japan's
guarantee. Marquis Ito, by his usu-
al tact. has now apparently won over
the powerful politicians to his side
and consequently no opposition will
be raised at the council meeting.

further period of five years, dating

Britain is relieved from that date, of

be accompanied by certificates declar-
ing that no part of this sugar comes
from countries where bounties are
paid on the production or export of

STOESSEL' s CASE
ST|RS ALL RUSSIA
MAY BE SAVED FROM DEATH AT
LAST MOMENT.
CHARGED WITH TREACHERY
No More CuIpabIe Than Any other
High Officer of the Time Says Chief
Funetuary-corruption so General
That All of Them Steal Many
Times Their Salaries.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 29.-An extra
ordinary event at the present moment
monopolizes the attention of high Rus
sian officials-the trial Of Gen. Stoes-
sci, commander in-chief of the Russian
fortresses and troops at Port Arthur
during the Russo-Japanese war.
After long investigation the COM
mission reviewing the charges against
Gen. Stoessel, at the head of which
sat Gen. Burzoff, has come to a con-
'clusion and submitted its findings to
the Military Supreme Court. The
charges cover many serious specifica-
lions, and the last one carries with it
punishment by death if the accused be
found guilty.
Among the crimes of omission and
commission with which the Russian
commander stands accused the gravest
specification is that he was guilty of
treachery, for, under the Russian mill
tary law, the commander who sur
renders a fort to an enemy is
traitor.
1T is impossible to speak now speci-
fically of the charges brought against
the General said high official. HE
is charged with a crime which means
death, and | believe that he will be
sentenced to die. Whether the SEN
tence of the court will be carried out
do not know. 1t is not unlikely that
he will be led formally upon the field
of execution and be placed face to face
with file of soldiers with loaded
rifles, ready to execute the sentence of
death.
Then, perhaps, just as the officer in
command is about to give the word to
fire it is altogether possible that a
messenger from the ezar may dash
upon the plain and present reprieve.
Then the general will be stripped of
prived of his generals uniform and in
sigma.
I'm regard to the actual guilt of the
general, l may say that he is no more
culpable than any other high officer
of the time. Corruption is so general
among the officials of the Russian
arm that there is hardly one who does
not steal two or three times his salary.
ANY one of the Russian generals might
with justice be punished as severely
as Stoessel.
1T Is this fact which causes think
ing men to realize that Russian mill
|tary revolution would succeed over
the corrupt generals if only a Ma
poleon or a Skobeloff be found to lead
the movement An Russian revolu-
tions have failed because there have
been only mediocre leaders"

case is covered by insurance.
An 1S-year-old boy, named Henry.
employed as engineer of the hotel,
met death by suffocation He was
sleeping of the engine room when
the fire started and was cut of from
escape by the flames. He climbed to
his window, but was overcome and
fell to the ground. Els face, neck
and shoulders were badly burned.
Combustion by gasoline fumes es-
Gaping to the engine room caused the
IRE. One explosion occurred, and
within minute the flames reached to
every corner Of the engine room and
spread rapidly to the apartments of
the servants, the kitchen, laundry,
and other rooms. Soon the rear of
the building was mass of flames.
Night Clerk Carl Christensen
smelled the smoke, and was the first
person to see the fire. He sent in an
alarm and later calmly notified every
one of the 9S guests in the hotel.
There was no panic, and every one
escaped without injury. The hotel
was filled to its capacity. pink"
