JAP SYMPATHY
Said 10 Be With fine Korean Elm. per0r. But Do Moi Regret
 His AbdicatiOn
NO REGRETSN LONDON

Tokio, July 20.-The Japanese press is this morning generally sym pathetic with the retired Korean em- peror as an individual, but none, however, regrets the act of abdica- ton.
 In the absence of the official tet it is commented that there is doubt whether the abdication means a com plete non-interferenee with the gov ernment by the emperor. sugges- tions were made that there is neces- sity of clearly defining the position of the retired emperor in order to prevent even an indirect meddling with the administration.
 It is also pointed out that anyhow the change of government was caused by the initiation of the Korean government in which Japan had no concern whatever, and that it cannot be considered final solu- tion of the Hague incident
 It is expected that Foreign Minis ter Hayashi will effect a definite arrangement with the Korean gov- ernment regarding that question.

HEAT AND THEN FOG
New Workers Suffered Much This Morning and Navigation
 Had Many Dangers.

New York. July 20.-After two days of intense heat and high hu- midity from which the stifling nights afforded only slight relief, New York and its environs were to-day wrapped in wet and binding fog which ap- set the schedules on all means of transportation except the subway. Ferryboats bringing thousands of persons from Long Island, New Jer- sey and Staten Island poked hesi- tatingly across the rivers and the bay, occasionally pumping one an- other, but without serious results be- cause of the caution of the pilots. While the pail of fog hung heaviest a steam lighter crashed into the Pennsylvania railroad ferryboat Bal timore, which was crowded with in- coming passengers. Beyond soaring the nervous passengers little dam age was done
 Of Sandy Hook at least three of the big transatlantic liners were waiting for the fog to lift and make it safe for their pilots to bring them up the crooked channels. They were the Lucania, on which William Fife, the yacht designer, was passenger; La Savoie, bringing MT and Mrs w., B. Corey, and the Celtic.

PEARY's TRIBUTE.
Scientific World Lost Much When
 Prof Heilprin Died.

New, York, July 20.-Commander Peary, the Arctic explorer, paid a tribute to the late Prof Angelo Heil- prin in letter written to the pro- fessor's brother He said:
 The loss to the scientific world to geographical circles everywhere, to the Geographical Society of Phila- delphia, and the Alpine club of Am erica, both of which were the incep- tion and children of his brain, can never be made good. My own obliga- tions to and regard for him are par ticularly great. To him, more than to anyone else, is due the activity of of this country in Arctic and Ant arctic work during the past fifteen years, for 1t was his interest and be- lief in my first project for Arctic work presented to the Philadelphia academy of natural sciences in 1891 that led to the adoption of that plan by that organization and the conse- quent awakening of interest in Polar matters in the years since then.
 When l named one of the great est of Greenland glaciers and later one of the most northerly lands in the world after him, 1t was no per- functory action but a tribute of the deepest regard and friendship"

London Glad of It,

London, July 2O.-Scarcely a word of sympathy is uttered by the morning papers for the deposed em- peror of Korea, who regarded as having brought his fate upon him. self by futile intriguing against the Japanese and, as the Daily Graphic humorously remarks, by having taken the Hague conference too seri. ously."
 The general opinion is that the ab- dication of Vi Heui is the best thing that could happen for Korea.
 The Daily Telegraph says: After all, Korea, by very circumstance of her geographical position, was fore doomed to be spoil of war, and the complete Japanization of Korea can only b matter of time, provided the verdict of the last war remains unaltered."
 According to a Shanghai dispatch, Emperor Vi Heui had arranged to fly to the protection of the Russian consulate, but was circumyented by the precautions taken by the Jap anese.

THREAD GOES UP.
Second Advance Sends It Up to Ten
 Cents a Spool.

Chicago, July 20.-News of the sec ond advance in the price of cotton thread, this time making the price ten cents spool, caused grief in tine ranks of garment workers yesterday. Many of them are required to buy their own thread, the price per piece under the contract including the find- ings, and these complained that even the little difference indicated by the increase would materially reduce their earning power. Settlement workers said many of the men, women ana children now toiling over garments have to work far into the night in order to. eke out an existence, and that the added burden wifi men much more than would appear on the sur face The general belief is that whese the shops furnish the thread the coD- tract price will be cut enough to meet the additional cost, thus making the toiler the loser.
