The Marquis lTo, as observation-disclosures

avert the crisis which o seems TO be
impending. He desired to leave the
Corean sovereign the semblance OF au-
thority 80 far as internal affairs were o n
cerned and Il exert his own supervisory
influence through the medium Of a Co
real Cabinet. The success of the plan
depended on the disposition Of the native
ruler to recognize accomplished facts and

He proved untitled by temperament and
character for the exercise Of discretion,
and thus his reign has been brought to a
summary end. There is nc reason to be-

case he may be suffered for a time 10

An Indian Tribe in Court.

It has just been announced that a suit
has been commenced in the Supreme
Court in this State by the Montauk Tribe
of Indians against the executors of the
late AUSTIN CoRBIN and ARTHUR BENSON
and others TO recover possession of an
extensive tract Of land at Montauk Point,
Of which il is alleged the defendants
unlawfully claim TO be the owners.
A similar suit was instituted in the
year 1897, for the same purpose, against
the Long Island Railroad Company, in
which the plaintiff was described rs the
Montauk Tribe of Indians, by WYANDANK
PHARAOH, Their Chief and King" Tho
Long Island Railroad Company inter-
posed what is know. in law as a demurrer
to the complaint, that is to say, an objec-
ton to 'ts legal sufticiency, on the ground
that the plaintiff had no legal capacity
TO sue. The demurrer specified that this
incapacity was due to the fact that the
plaintiff was not a natural person, or a
corporation, or an unincorporated asso-
citation permitted by law to maintain an
action in the name of any Of its officers;
and furthermore that the plaintiff was
not authorized by law to maintain an
action as a tribe.
The demurrer was argued at Riverhend
in Suffolk county in October, 1897, before

preme Court inS the Second Department,

The Independence Of a senator.

The story that the Massachusetts, Sena-
tors have had a scene and that WINTHROP
MURRAY CRANE spoke his mind to HENRY
CABOT LODGE seems to be a Pigment Of
a lively but not a diseased imagination.
The expected Toes not always happen,
but rumor sometimes makes a record OF
it without much ~provocation.
The materials for the story were ready
TO any mans hand. There was a cold
ness in the White House toward the
junior Senator who had been welcomed
to Washington with open arms; My
policy" had encountered an obstacle in
him, and he had committed the unpar-
donable sin of showing friendship for the
prescribed FORAKER Of Ohio and SYM
pathizing with his efforts to obtain a
hearing for the men Of the dismissed
battalion. A just man not made perfect,
but human, tolerant, clear headed and
sane of purpose, Is W. MURRAY CRANE;
ing aloud; therefore bound in course OF
time to rub the fur Of infallibility the
wrong way.
On the other hand, the senior Senator
to whom the latchstring Of the White
House was always out, whose ear was
ever inclined, who might demur but
always ended by agreeing. who did not
mix with the objects of the spear that
knew no brother, who was proud to be
known ms the mentor Of infallibility and
expected Difference and power at home
on that account.
The two Senators did not meet and
clash at Dalton. and for that reason the
whole story that W. MURRAY CRANE
read a declaration Of independence and
defied HENRY CABOT LODGE falls 10 the
ground. The story wasn't at all neces-
sary To establish Senator CRANES repu.
tation IA an honest and deliberate critic
Of the Rooseveltian policies and n man
who would go his own way and fight for
| his own opinions. IL seems to be sig
( ~nificant, however, of a rift in the lutte OF
party harmony in Massachusetts, which
Mr.. LODGE always makes a great show Of
playing upon with a majestic sense Of
being the only performer by right OF
precedence and prestige.

The Japanese in COrea.

Should n national instruction take
place in Corea the Toxic Government
would be confronted with a task which
doubtless it would be able to perform,
but not without much waste of life and
an expenditure of money which it could
i'll afford. The s~ubjugation of the CO.
reans, numbering as they do not far
from twenty millions. could not be ac-
complished SC quickly and easily az was
that Of the Hovas by France in NADIA
gascar, especially as arms and ammu-
milton could doubtless be procured sur
reptitiously from the Russian territory
bordering Corea's northeastern frontier.
The friendly agreement between Japan
and Russia, which for some time has
been discussed, has not yet been signed,
and now may be postponed indefinitely
in view of the Corean situation. The
st. Petersburg Government, however,
could not openly give aid and comfort
to Corean rebels against the Japanese,
for not only was Japan's assumption Of
q protectors part formally recognized
by the Peace Of Portsmouth, but both
Great Britain n France a v bound
themselves by treaty to uphold Japan's
preponderance in the Corcan peninsula.
The Cars subjects in the contiguous
Ussuri district, however, will rs indi-
viduals naturally wish the rebels well,
|. and can hardly be prevented from at
testing their sympathy in substantial
ways.
Experience has lately taught the Jap
anese that it is one thing 10 annex
a country and another to obtain the
acquiescence of the inhabitants in the
transaction. II is 10 some twelve
years since they acquired the island Of
Formosa, and not yet have they sue
ceeded in subduing the aboriginal tribes
that occupy the southeast corner Of the
island. The considerable progress which
they are 10 making in that direction 10

The Spool.

Some of u tariff revising contem-
poraries are watching, not without a
melancholy happiness, the jumps Of the
price Of thread. From four cents to
five. from FIVE to six; where will it's I'M
bridled audacity-or that of the trust
be stayed? May not the price of a spool
Of thread be ten cents yet? What are
the maids, wives and widows of America
going to do about it? Will they not rise
as one woman and call upon their hus-
bands. sweethearts, fathers, brothers to
smite the accursed tariff?
With no generation for that palladium
of our properties, and fully understand
ing that the female voice on arif propo-
sitions IA on others is omnipotent and
final, We may be permitted 10 doubt if
the women folk will cause the feared
catastrophe and hang the tariff high on

1. Automobiles seem to be the sole
necessity of life at present.
?. Even as Stunning that thread is a
necessity Of life, the compulsory arbi-
trator at Washington will make the
manufacturers put the price down.
