STREET SCENE IN SEOUL.

value. Thousands Of the better japanese
themselves, witnessing in the desperate re-
sistance Of the Koreans a proof that they
have been wronged, would demand change
Of policy. The one thing that Japan fears
in Korea is that the people will get to-
gether,' but at the same time she is doing
her best to force them together.
1T Is time for the Korean people to cease
looking for aid from the outside. 1t will
never come. But 1t is not for any outsider,
however sympathetic, to suggest to the
Koreans the Inauguration of a long and
bloody struggle. In all my intimate connec-
ton with the Koreans and their wrongs
have never gone further than to suggest
passive resistance, when such was possible.
The great national uprising, which alone
can save Korea. will come of itself. I'M
hidden. when the time Is ripper To be eff
fective 1t must not come until the point OF
desperation has been reached, and 1t must
be spontaneous. and when it comes we shall
see whether Japan is a second Turkey in
Armenia. or whether she will be shamed
into a semblance of genuine enlightenment
and give Korea the justice of which she
has been SO ruthlessly despoiled.
The manner in which the abdication of
the Korean emperor was brought about de-
mands some explanation. Marquis Ito denies
any connection whatever with the event
but no Korean cabinet would dream of pro-
posing to the emperor such traitorous
plan as this without being driven to 1t by
the threats of the japanese.
One Of the most notorious of the Korean
agents Of the japanese is the home minister,
Chilly Yong, who told Viscount Tanaka last
winter that he might rob Korea of the
priceless Pagoda of Pung-Duk. Another is
the one who, before the late war, sold the
forests of the Yalu to tne Russians. These
Koreans would meet instant death at the
hands of the Korean people if they were not
guarded by the Japanese troops.
1T is said that Mr.. Hayashi had gone to
Seoul to help straighten out things. I take
it this is the Hayashi who was Japanese
minister to Picking He Is the man who
forced the 1905 treaty down the throat of
Korea. His going to Korea is ominous.
1T Is worth while asking what the jap
anese expect from this forced abdcation

1t s to pave the way for the setting aside
Of the entire dynasty and the annexation Of
Korea to Japan"
The Korean delegation left The Hague
for London. Many rumors are in circula-
ton, and according to one of them, the
Koreans have only been the japanese in
struments for creating such a situation as
would justify the abdication of the en-
peror and the practical annexation of Ko-
rea by Japan.
Gen. Hasegawa, commander of the Japa-
nese troops In Korea, regards the situation
as being now well in hand: The two gov
eminent arsenals are guarded by Japanese
soldiers, although the number is not large,
and they are under orders to explode the
magazines If they find themselves unable
to defend them.
The Korean troops are frequently ha-
rangued by civilian agitators, who take up
their stand at the entrances to the bar
racks. The Koreans possess 10000 rounds
Of ammunition. of which Gen. Hasegawa.
who has only 1900 troops in Seoul, has been
unable to secure the surrender.
The Ping Yang regiment, whoch was Sun
day reported as having been disarmed
still refuses to surrender it's arms or am
munition.
The japanese commander is not yet able
to assure safety in the streets but he is
making the best possible of his men
while awaiting reinforcements, which are
now on their way from Smimonoseki.
MARQUIS ITO, the resident general at Seoul.
Will not consent to the enforcement of
martial law, but he is regarrisoning the
country as far as possible as a precaution
The new emperor's first edict orders the
punishment of the Korean deputation to
The Hague.
The japanese are agitated by multi
plicity of reports of the former emperor's
intrigues since his abdication July 49, Mill
tary anxiety has been therefore revived by
the aggravation of the political situation.
The disturbing factors are first, the
enigmatical presence in Seoul of Japanese
Foreign Minister Hayashi. whose mission is
believed by the people to be the abdication
of the former emperor and his removal to
Japan; second, domicliary contact with
the emperor and control and manipulation
of the throne by the eX-emperor.

LIKE THE DRUMHEAD COURTS
NEW RUSSIAN SYSTEM RAIL-
ROADS CoNVICTs TO DEATH.
Great Increase in Executions Since
Latest Military Regulations
Were Promulgated.

ST PETERSBURG, July 23.-The new
regulations concerning a mode of procedure
for the military district courts, introduced
July 20. have now begun to bear fruit and
the results constitute a close approach to
the notorious reign of the drumhead courts
martial which were abolished by the late
duma.
The innovations shorten the entire course
of the inquest and trial, allowing only sew
enty-two hours between Indictment and
execution, including the appeal of the pris-
oner to the military court of cessation, and
the decision of this court. The former
regulations allowed fortnight for this pro-
cedure. The new military courts are now
obliged to hand down sentences without
waiting to hear the testimony of witnesses
who may be absent. They also enjoy juris-
diction over wider area than did the for
mer drumhead courts, which only operated
in the provinces that had been placed under
a state Of extraordinary defense.
Harvest Of Death.
The number of executions under the new
ruling show a sudden increase. At Kiev
yesterday five sappers were executed, and
today another sapper was sentenced to
death. Three peasants have been executed
at Moscow, another at Warsaw, and at
Yekaterinoslav three workmen have been
put to death under decisions handed down
by these new courts.
At Riga young man named Berland
went into clothing store, selected an
overcoat, mad then started for the door
without having paid for It, When asked to
settle his bill he drew a revolver. covered
the clerk and succeeded in getting away.
He was later captured and sentenced to
death. Another young man named Danbe
was sentenced to death at Riga for the
theft of So and two girl accomplices aged
twelve and twenty years, respectively, were
sentenced to exile and hard labor for life.

Dancing Masters Of Nebraska Unite to

OMAHA, Neb July 23.-There is to be no
more huggng in waltzes and other round
dances in fashionable social circles in
Omaha. The dancing masters of this city,
according to an announcement made by one
of them yesterday, have signed an agree
ment not to teach hugging by pupils at
their academies and not to permit it by
pupils or others who may attend the hops
given under their auspices.
They will hereafter teach their pupils to
preserve a more or less formal attitude
when on the floor. The new and correct po-
sition, the masters say, will be an improve
ment on the DID, so far as gracefulness is
concerned.
The gentleman will lightly rest his right
hand on his partners back, his left gently
hand VIII be gently rested on his right fore
arm, and both bodies will be held erect.

SCORES PERISH IN SPAIN
Unprecedented Rains Cause I'm
mense Loss of Life.

Madrid, Sept. 26.-Unprecedented
rains in Andalusia have caused I'M
mems destruction Of life and prop
erty. The Guadalmedina river has
been converted into a raging torrent
three miles wide and bridges, houses
and even entire villages have been
swept away by the flood.
The streets in the lower part OF
Malaga, capital of the province of that
name in Andalusia, have been inun'
dated and many families have been
rendered homeless.
Considering the heaviness of the
floods the loss of life has not been
great. Thirty persons were drowned
at Malaga, twenty-three at VeleZ de
Benamargoza, among them the mayor
of the town; thirteen at Coleman and
about 100 elsewhere in the valley.
Railroad communication has been
destroyed. The governor of Malaga
has appealed for assistance from the
government, fearing that the decaying
%carcasses of cattle and other animals
drowned in the flood will create an
Epidemic.

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
Items Of a Week From Various
Parts of the State.
VICTORY FOR NORTH DAKOTA
Biggest BattIeship in the United
States Navy Will Bear the Name
of This State.

North Dakota" will be the name of
battleship No. %, one of the new 2O,-
000-ton vessels, contracts for which
were recently awarded by the navy
department.
The other vessel, as heretofore an
nounced, will be called the Delaware.
President Roosevelt has decided
that as so many naval vessels bear
the names of New York cities, it
would be unfair to carry out the
original plan of naming No. 23 the
New York and of changing the cruis-
ar Of that name to the Saratoga"
Senator McCumber was a caller at
the White House and the navy depart
ment to inquire regarding the battle
ship question and incidentally to con-
vey the Information to President
Roosevelt that North Dakota is still
for him." and the information was
given regarding the good fortune of
North Dakota in winning the name of
the great ship.
Secretary Metcalf and other naval
OIuClalS were dTQeuIly QeSlrOuS lnaC
the new battleship-the largest ever
built by the nation-should bear the
name of the Empire state. In order
to carry out this plan it became neces-
sary to arrange to change the name of
the cruiser New York and the sugges-
tlpn vas that the c:rrYgilser should be
given the name Saratoga.
President Roosevelt looked over the
list of names borne by ships of the
navy and selected from the cities of
the Empire state and concluded that
the addition of another New York
name in addition to the name of the
state for the new battleship would be
rather OVERRIDING 1t. For this reason
1t was decided to retain the name New
York for the cruiser and give North
Dakota the honor of having her name
borne on the greatest ship Of the
American navy.
Utah nov is the only one of the
states after which no war vessel has
been named.

Oh. take a tumble to yourself,
My dear inflated brother,
And when you have digested that
Then pause and take another.
The world would run If you were dead
l somehow have a notion,
With just the same Ole rate of speed
And just as smooth a motion.
The garden truck would be as green,
The hens would keep on laying.
The m would be just as strong
For harvesting and haying.
The cars would still run on the tracks
The boats would keep on floating.
And mon would still be wise enough
For light and heavy voting.
The men who worked in field and mine
Would still be quite as busy
Providing foo and other things
For Sarah, ane inc Lizzy.
And congress would keep bobbing
round,
Its knotty woodpile saving,
Forgetting that it's pay was there
Just waiting for the drawing.
So take a tumble and reduce
That swelling meath your bonnet.
You're not the fywheel of the works.
You're just a fly upon it.
The earth was jogging right along
Before you ever hit 1t.
And it will still be going some
When you have up and quit it.
