Reports Concerning Portuguese Dis

Paris, July PA correspondent of the
Matin, who was sent to Lisbon to in
vestigate the situation arising from the
strained relations between King Charles

DUE IGNORANCE.
Postal Laws Constantly Violated by
Poorer Glasses.

Washington, July 22.-The postal laws
prohibit placing written messages in mer-
chandise packages OF letters on which
less than two cents an ounce has been
paid. and the provisions of this statute
admit of no waiver of the penalty pro-
Vided.
During the last fiscal year postoffce
iations In thousands of cases a short
note OF memorandum was placed inside
a package Of merchandise on which pos
tage was paid at one cent an ounce, while
the written matter made it necessary that
two cents an ounce should have been
paid
FINDING that in a great number of cases
the offense was due to ignorance of
the law and that the collection of the fine
usually works a hardship to the very
poor. especially where written MESA ges
are made in return coupons, tags and GER
tificates for premiums, Postmaster Cen
eral Meyer has directed that proper no
tice be placed in postOffices warning the
public against the practice.

HAYASHI IN SEOUL.
Japanese Foreign Minister Makes
Guarded Admissions.

Seoul. July 22.-ViscOunt Hayashi
the Japanese foreign minister. de-
scribes his visit to Seoul as an eXcur-
sion during the government holidays
made for the purpose of communicate
ing 10 Marquis Ito the demand of pub
lie feeling in Japan for TectifcatiOn OF
existing conditions in Korea, and also
consult with the marquis as TO what
should be done. In view of the grave
state of the present crisis, Viscount
Hayashi has consented to say that the
abdicatiOn of the emperor, occurring
simultaneously with his arrival in
Seoul, was a surprise and disappointed
his plans. Neither Marquis Ito nor
Japan had any part in the abdicatiOn,
but, on the contrary, if consulted, they
would not have advised it.
Regarding the report that he came to
Korea on a special mission, ViscOunt
Hayashi admitted that it was true that
he came entrusted with his govern
ments program. Japan's position here
was delicate and its responsibilities
were great. An intriguing government
was impossible, and the plan to muir
der all the cabinet members, which
vas reported to be a scheme of the
former emperor for his restoration to
power with a cabinet wholly anti-Jap-
anese was unthinkable.
Japanese Plans.
Regarding possible plans for the flu
ture government, Hayashi said that
the Korean throne had nothing to fear
from the japanese, but there must be
a competent, organized administration.
Japan's program would be executed
only with regard to due FORMS with
the consent of the constituted sover-
eign, and was subject to modification
according 10 conditions. 1t already
had modified its plans, and if the Ko-
rean throne established a competent
government Japan would deal with it,
At present the japanese authorities
were wholly concerned with the res
tOratiOn of order. Until this was ac-
complished, they were unable to pro-
ceed and his mission must await nor
