ITO WILL RULE KOREA
AS the Resident General He Will
Control.

Seoul (By Cable) ).-Iwan-Yung
premier of Korea, acting by authority
of the Emperor, given under the
imperial seal at the palace. and Mar
quis Ito, resident general of Japan,
signed the following agreement at
midnight at the Japanese residence:
1.-THE governments of Japan and
Korea, in view of the early attain
ment of prosperity and strength in
Korea and the speedy promotion Of
the welfare of the Korean people,
have agreed upon and concluded the
following stipulations:
Article 1.-The government or
Korea shall follow the direction of
the resident general in connection
with the reform of the administra-
tion.
ARTICLE 2.-Korea shall not en-
act any law or ordinance or carry
out any administration measure un-
less it has the previous approval of
the resident general.
article 3.-Judicial affairs of
Korea shall be kept distinct from
ordinary administration affairs.
Article 4.-No appointment or
dismissal of Korean officials of high
grade shall be made without the con-
sent of the resident general.
Article 5.-Korean shall appoint
to official position such Japanese as
are recommended by the resident
general.
"Article 6.-Korea shall not en-
gage any foreigner without the con-
sent of the resident general.
article THE first clause of
the agreement between Japan and
Korea, dated August %, 1904, is
hereby abrogated."
The agreement abrogates the ad-
visor system, especially affecting the
finance department under Advisor
Megata, who now becomes a Korean
official.
1t also affects the judicial depart
ment of the Korean government, for
which a corps of advisors for all the
provinces recently arrived from Japan.
The Korean court opposed the plan,
but had no alternative but to sign.
The Japanese plan, it is announc-
ed, is to take control very gradual
ly, as there is q dearth in Japan of
competent and available officials. A
modern administration of Korean af-
fairs would entail draft of 1900
officials and impose deficit of three
times the present revenues.
The organization of courts of JUS
tice will entail an immense burden,
as no legal code now exists. The
urgent necessity is to obtain con-
troll of the Korean army, and it is
expected that General Hasegawa will
and Korean government.
Anxiety regarding further inter-
ference by the throne or former
emperor in the administration of
be added to the military staff of
the government has now ended.
Marquis Ito at the head of the
Japanese and Korean-Japanese coun-
ell practically is Viscount Hayashis
agent of administration.
The Kwan Ant Hill has been STIR
red to the very cellar by the former
Emperor's second pledge of abdica-
tion. A wave of great excitement
crept over the whole peninsula, when
the new agreement with Japan was
announced and the Emperor's pro-
elamation published in the provinces.
All the privileged old ladies at
taehed to the court arrived in crowds
at the Palace, condoling, weeping,
wailing and incidentally carrying
away in their custmary loose cloth
ing everything detachable and port
able The palace was lotted of all
possible souvenirs.

Battleship Was In Peril.

Boston Especially But for the
fortunate discovery that the smoke
less powder in the magazine of the
battleship Illinois, at the navy yard
here, had deteriorated, and there
fore become dangerous, a disaster
might have occurred. AS soon as
the discovery was made the crew
was put to work throwing the pow
der into the water. The Illinois has
been at the yard since June. The
inspectors who passed the powder
may be called to account, perhaps
before a court-maTtial.

Plaster of Paris.

For experimental purposes and where but a few castings of medium ana light weight are required plaster Of paris has many good advantages as material for pattern making. It is light, it can be given a smooth surface. 1t is easily given any required shape and il can be added to Indefinitely, While 1t is brittle, this Is more than offset by the saving in first cost and the ouickness with which the pattern may be prepared. Plaster of paris sets In from three to six minutes but if for any reason 1t is desired to keep the mass plastic for longer period one drop of glue to five gallon mixture will keep it soft for a couple of hours. Plaster of paris mixed with cold water has an expansion of about one-siX, teenth of an Inch to the foot when hardening Should this be undesirable mix with warm or lime water, and there is no Xpansion.-Machnery.

An Ancient Superstition.

It is a historical fact that a cock was publicly burned at Basel in Au- gust, 1474, for the GiaDolical crime of laying an egg. the egg being also burn ed lest 1t should produce cockatrice or fiery flying serpent "On the Thurs day before St. Lawrencp's day" writes Gross in his "kurtZe Easier Kronik, they burned q cock on the Kolenherg, together with an egg which he had laid. for they feared that . dragon might be hatchca thercffom. The eN- ecutioner cut open the cock and found three more eggs in him. for. as Nieen- tius saith in the sixth book of his 'Speculum Naturale it hath always been held that cock in his old age may lay an egg, whence ariseth a basilisk if it be hatchod out on dung heap by the serpent called coluber Wherefore the basilisk is half cock and half serpent. He saith also tha' certain persons declare they have seer basilisks matched from such eggs. - Cornhill Magazine.

RED CROSS FUNDS.
Meeting to Be Held to Determine the
DISPOSAL

SAN FRANCISCO. February 26.-At a
meeting to be held today the directors of the
relief and Red Cross corporations and the
rehabilitation committee of the relief work,
it is expected that definite action will be
taken on the disposal of funds yet unappor-
toned and undstrbuted.
There is now reported to be available be-
tween TWO and three millions of dollars. and
it is the desire of the relief workers to have
their plans in course of execution and all
funds accounted for prior to Thursday,
April Is next, the first anniversary of the
San Francisco disaster.
In general the relief workers are of one
opinion as to the distribution of the funds
the plan, roughly. being to use S1,JOooO
for hospital work. S,yo0otO for charity work
to be carried on by the various denomina-
tional and fraternal organizations, under
the supervision of the Associated Charities;
S1JO.OOo for what is known as 'confidential'
work among the needy. and the balance to
meet outstanding obligations of the recon-
struction and rehabilitation committee. The
business of the latter branches of relief is
to be finished by April Is. and the organiZa
ton of Red Cross and relief hopes to go
OUT of existence on that day, leaving ap
portioned but unapplied funds to the care
of board of trustees.

WATERFRONT PARKS.
Boston Struggling With a Question
Similar to That in Brooklyn.

From the Boston Transcript.
1t seems strange to people in this section
that our greatest city, bounded by mighty
rivers and an island starred harbor front
should have hardly a foot of water parkway
year a law was enacted through the eff
forts of various charitable institutions, en-
towering the city to construct a seaside
park. The model proposed was the system
of water parks that has been provided for
Greater Boston. 1t was felt that nothing
else could contribute such valuable facilities
as this for the healthy expansion of the
charitable work of the city. But the au-
thorities have seemed to be laggard in the
use OF the powers conferred upon them
Conflicting interests or conflicting senti-
ments have been at work, and one oppor-
tunity after another to establish this en-
terprise on a basis of reasonable economy
has been lost
At first what is known as Long Beach was
faYorably regarded and the city was offered
four hundred acres Of land for s., 800 an
acre. The city pursued a dilatory course
and now Long Beach has been purchased
for development purposes at price mil
lion dollars higher than 1t was offered to
the city by private owners. Rockaway was
another option, but that has been treated In
eets have also been begun there which have
jumped the market prices to three times
what they were less than year ago.
II Is said that there Is not water front
between Long Beach and Atlantic City that
Is not increasing in value from Is to IS per
provision for this important public feature
more difacuit and more expensive. ard soon
there will be no purchasable water front
left.
