When the Japanese government last year, took over the direction of the foreign rela- tions of Korea official notice of that fact to the Washington government was followed by the immediate with drawal from this capital of the Korean legation The occasion was rather pathetic when the retiring Charge called upon Secretary Root at the state department and notified him that he had been directed to turn over the con duct of the business of his legation to the Japanese embassy here.
 It was realized then that this was probably the beginning of the end of the Korean independence and that the control by the Japanese of the foreign relations of Korean would, in the not distant future. broaden into complete domination of the Hermit Kingdom.
 With the closing of that legation dis appeared all trace of resident Koreans of the official class in Washington The Japanese embassy here is not very well informed as to what is taking place at home in relation to Korea. so that altogether there Is a lack of of ficial information as to these recent and sudden developments.

 How are we to interrupt the com- merce of a nation? Everybody here knows that all over the country rail- roads are finding siiniculty in moving freight and now this Dlll proposes to put more difiiculties in their way.
 T do not wish 1t to be understood that I am not in favor of Sunday ob- servance. because I am. However, do not believe 1t would be right to step in and try to block the railroads at a time when they are almost tied up by the vast amount of freight they have to handle.
 If the railroads had the facilities 1 would be in favor of Sunday law, but as it is we are doing & wrong when we cause a wrong to be done."
 Question of Morality. .t-
 MT. John said this was not a aues- tion of railroads except as railroads are incidentally connected with it. It Is question of whether we shall obey the law as the gentleman of Perry ad- mits 1t was taught him. It is to the credit of the Democratic party that it was adopted and put 1t in their plat form.
 In answer to MT. Pitts. he said that twenty-four years ago he had intro duced similar bill that was voted down by the railroad lawyers
 MT. Foster asked him why such a law would not apply to furnaces, to which he replied, he understood fur naces could not be shut down. On thu other hand he said the proposed law would injure no one.
 Georgia had a law. he said. that would not allow them to run freight trains on Sunday SO that the railroads, when hustling freight across Alabama right up to the Georgia State line. had to lay over all day Sunday.
 He was asked by Mir. Pitts of Dallas whether the city of Birmingham ship ped more freight than the whole State of Georgia. to which he replied that he did not know as to that but he knew that when men wanted to violate

NEVADA "GRUBSTAKE" LAW.

The Financial Bulletin grows
satirical over The Nevada grub
stake law. 1t says:
And the solons of the Nevada
legislature have at last discovered
that the business of prospecting is
thoroughly permeated with graft,
wherefore steps have been taken to
protect the innocent against the ope-
rations of the willy prospeetor.
About the last fellow on earth who
needs legislating against is the pros
pector. but the Nevada Legislature
has thought to fix him by requiring
that all grubstake agreements shall
be covered by written articles, drawn
up, we suppose, by duly authorized
barristers, and signed, sealed and de-
livered in. the presence of witnesses,
and, finally. filed with the clerk of
the colnty court in which the pros
pect work is being done.
"A mighty lot of trouble to start
man off to the hills with his burro
and camp outfit and a supply of pro-
vender sufficient for few weeks.
We fear the prospector is fast losing
his reputation for honesty, but then,
maybe it will lessen the humber of
those who rise up and claim a half
interest in some claim when 1t be-
gins to look like a mine.
"A number of suits are now on
docket In the state of Nevada in
which a breach of good faith on the
part of the prospector Is alleged
These cases are usually. very diff.
cult to dtsentangle. and endless liti-
cation often ensues;
