Comment in Toxic on the dedication
IN COrea.

Toxic. July 19.-The Premier, Marquis Saionji,
supported by the ministers of Agriculture and
Justice. both of whom are strongly IN favor Of
a life of exile in Japan for the retired Emperor.
is said here to be responsible for the abdication
Of the Corean Emperor. 1t is believed that the
resourcefulness of Marquis Ito will prevent the
spread Of any agitation likely 10 menace the
general peace of COrea.
1t is felt here that the commotiOn among the
populace at Seoul Is not actuated by the spirit
of true loyalty to the retired Emperor, but out
Of fear of the adoption OF drastic measures by
the Japanese government toward COrea as a
nation, and until the pacific intention OF Japan
is fully understood agitation is anticipated.
The date for the coronation Of the new Emperor
has not been fixed.
While much sympathy is expressed here with
the former COrean Emperor. the public is
breathing easier. and IL is believed that here
after the relations between Japan and Corea
will be smooth.
Unqualified admiration Is expressed for the
capacity Of the ministers of the present Corean
Cabinet in effecting the solution of an aggra-
waited situation without bloodshed. and in a
manner showing much moral courage
