duke, called the prince parent, whose
enmity she had incurred and whom
she had been instrumental in having
held in exile in China. That was dur,
Ing the China-Japanese war. and with
the victories Of the little Japanese
came the release Of the grand duke
and his return to Seoul, followed by
the tragic murder Of Queen Min.
What happened on that fateful night
Of October 8, 1895, has been related
many times and in many ways. The
essential facts are that Japanese
troops surrounded the palace grounds
and held the populace and the loyal
troops in check, that Korean troops
trained and oficered by Japanese
broke down the gates, and that a
horde OF Japanese soldiers together
with number Of Soshi OF unattached
adventurers rushed in, and under the
guidance Of men attached to the Jap
anese legation, made. their way to the
pavilion where the queen slept. Her
majesty, aroused by the tumult in the
city, had apparently a fair opportu-
nifty to escape Indeed, 1t is report
ed that she had already found a safe
refuge In the vast park, when her ma
ternal instinct her idolatry for the
imbecile boy whom the Japanese have
now proclaimed emperor, brought her
back to the palace where she met her
death.
And now what Of Korea? Time alone
will demonstrate. But one encour-
aging word comes from one OF the
American missionaries now laboring
in Korea, Rev. Philip S. Ginett. gen
eral secretary of the Seoul Young
Mems Christian association. who
says: 4 give it as my opinion that
most Of the Missionaries in Korea ap-
prove in general Of what the Japan
csc administration is now doing in
Korea, and believe that 1t IS both
sincere in its declared purpose and
IS proving itself practically capable

some good opportunities in the race
to gain distance
It was Tod Sloan who originated
the idea Of riding forward. Possibly
Miller carries it more to an extreme
than some jockeys. but he is light,
strong and has perfect confidence in
himself.
For two years there has been
great rivalry between Miller and
Radtke. The latter has been less sue
cessful, but is nevertheless considered
to be one Of the best boys who ride
professionally In the United States.
Radtke is Of different temperament
than Miller He is a somewhat fiery
little chap and rather self-willed. His
sharp replies earned him punishment
In 1905, but this year he has exer-
cised better control over himself and
fewer words Of caution have had to be
administered to him. He is consid-
cred to be very clever in making
a strong finish. Like Miller. he Is
