SEOUL, Via Toxic. JuIv 1s.-Pak Yong
Ho. who was recently pardoned, and upon
his return from Japan was appointed min
lister Of the imperial household, has re-
ported that the emperor of Corea en-
phatiCally protested his ignorance regarding
the dispatch OF the deputation to The
Hague and says that his abdiCation would
only tend to confirm his relation thereto
For this reason he will not abdicate. The
emperor, he says, will prove obdurate in
resisting his dethronement.
The audience of Marquis Ito with the
emperor of Corea, which was expected to
have taken place this afternoon has been
postponed It is likely that the marquis
will proceed to his palace tomorrow in
company with Viscount Hayashi, the Jap
anese foreign minister who is expected to
arrive here this evening
Placards were posted today in one of the
thoroughfares calling for the death of all
japanese officials in Seoul The ministers
are strongly guarded and every precaution
has been taken to prevent riot and attacks
upon officials. The emperor is reported to
be too worried to take food or sleep, but
this report is considered to be one of his
unusual maneuvers to enlist the sympathy
of his people.
Loses sympathy of People.
The emperor's loss of the loyal adherence
of a large portion of his subjects will, It
is believed, result in the gradual develop
ment of his policy TO always play one
minister or faction against another, 50 as
to prevent the concentration Of power in
any single body. The result OF this is that
none will faithfully support him at the risk
/ of life.
The emperor himself is constantly dis
trustful of all about him and haunted with
fear Of an attempt upon his life. Conse-
quently, boiled rice is served him at each
meal in a locked silver bowl, which he
opens with a key always kept about his
person. Patriotic Coreans condemn his
policy as sacrificing the national interest
to his own personal benefit and welfare.
The II Ching HoL, a progressive association
claiming a membership of 100000, is now
openly hostile to the emperor and It is
doubtful even If the few now standing by
him will continue their support until the
last. SUFFICIENT inducement is likely to
make them desert the emperor, who is now
in the most pitiable predcament.
Japanese Thinks He VIII Abdicnte.
J TOXIC. July 1S-As a result of urgent
representation by the ministers it is very
probable that the emperor Of Corea will
abdicate in favor Of the crown prince as
the first step toward reform in Corea This
will most likely be followed by the calling
OF new convention, which, while keeping
Corea's national existence intact, will limit
the sovereign power in some form by which
the ruler can exercise his powers only with
the consent and approval OF the japanese
resident general The present ministers in
Seoul are actuated by true patriotism and
are determined to place the Corean gov
ernment upon a firm basis and free from
court intrigues and selfish plots.

as a special investigator for the univer-

of these Institutions and ENGRAVING them

ties hope 10 make the greatest graduate
school in the United States.
Il expect TO be gone some time, and
will make a most minute investigation
Of the various courses in both schools. -
said Dr. Harlan yesterday. THE best
features OF both institutions probably will
be adopted by the trustees Of the-George
Washington University and introduced as
a part of the machinery Of the new col
! Iege Of the political sciences, which has
superseded the old department Of law and
| diplomacy.
In the course Of my visit abroad I will
spend some time at the London school,
which is modelled in a great degree after
| the Paris institution, II has some features
which the conservative Paris school has
not adopted, and which. 1 believe, might
with profit be introduced into the new
department of our university"
During his visit abroad Dr. Harlan will

pears distinctly narrower than the unim-

a decided difference in the apparent width
