Suit Against London Papers.

Liverpool, July 1S.-The attempt
made in the fall OF 1906 to organize
huge soap combine in the United
Kingdom, which quickly came to an
end under the pressure Of adverse
public opinion, had sensational Sc
quel in the assize court when William
H. Lever, Liberal member OF parlia-

Cheshire, secured Judgment for dam
ages of $25O,00O and costs against the
Harmsworth newspapers, the Daily
Mail and the Evening News, for al
legged libels published by them during
the course Of the controversy that fol-
lowed the attempt to bring about the
combination.
After hearing that lasted for two
days the defendants suddenly with
drew their plea of justification and
agreed to pay the amount demanded.
Mr.. Lever, it Is declared, took
leading part in the efforts to establish
the soap combine.
The damages awarded in the Lever
case are by far the largest ever paid

Seoul, Korea, July 1S.-Following
cabinet meeting, which lasted four
hours, the premier had an audience
with the emperor in the evening con-
tinuing for three hours. 1t has trans
pired that the premier made strong
ly worded representation of the grav-
ity OF the situation caused by his
majesty's sending delegation to the
peace conference at The Hague. He
boldly pointed out the necessity for
the emperor's abdication in favor of
the crown prince and Of his proceed
ing to Toxic and apologizing to the
emperor of Japan. The Korean en-
peror made no definite reply.
On retiring from the palace the pre-
mier Immediately called another cab
met meeting, which lasted until 2
o'clock In the morning. 1t is believed
that the ministers will insist on the
abdication of the emperor at all risk.
The II Ching Hoi Progressive asso-
citation. which is supporting the pres
ent cabinet, has officially applied to
Marquis Ito to help save Korea from
the grave consequences of the en-
peror's action against Japan.
Emperor Likely to Resist.
II is not considered likely that the
emperor will yield to the demand for
his abdication without struggle.
Despite the perturbed feeling and
excitement of the court and cabinet
the ropulace generally is calm.
Even the Anti-Japanese association
has issued a manifesto urging peace
full attitude at this critical stage OF
the situation. The emperor, in the
opinion of close observers, has alien
ated popular affection.
Although Korea is under an abso-
lutte monarchy the democratic custom
has existed since olden days Of de-
manding the retirement from the
throne of a sovereign whose conduct
endangers the national welfare. When
such an occasion arises the usage pre-
walls that all the cabinet ministers
shall appear before their ruler. One
of them, acting as spokesman. humbly
states the advisability of the en-
peror's retirement in favor OF the
rightful successor. When this state
Is reached the emperor Is morally
bound to abdicate.
II is reported that the emperor has
withdrawn 100000 yen deposited IL
