here lest the Emperor of Korea, feeling
too keenly the disgrace of compulsory abdi-
cation, will commit suicide Such an act
would not be extraordinary in a man of his
race, for since the Russo-Japanese war a
number of Korean officials have taken their
own lives. Dispatch from Seoul tell that
the actual process of abdication was not
completed until this forenoon. The Korean
cabinet has asked the Japanese to an
nounce the abdication to the powers.
The new emperor is an idiot His In
competency to rule has been in a large
measure the cause of the great dissatisfac-
ton among his subjects at the change.
Following the outbreak on the part Of
the native societies, troops and students
which resulted in many casualties among
the Japanese policemen. the Korean au-
thorites have acted.
They are said to have asked the Japa-
nese resident general. Marquis Ito, to

PLAIN TRUTHS
Told by Edward M Sullivan and John w. Hogan to
Down Dorney and Dunn in Ninth and Third
Wards and McMann Aggregation in the Tenth.

Mr. Sullivan discussed the general sit
uation, although dealing especially with
the Third and Tenth wards He was
ashamed and astonished. he said, that
those wards. strongholds OF Democracy
as they were. should so far forget them
selves as TO send the men they had down
TO the city hall TO help govern the city.
Referring to the ward council delega-
tions he said: why doesn't the Third
Ward send men To the city government tn
stop the expenditure of your money? The
man who claims TO be the friend OF tho
workingman is piling debt on the city
and allowing II TO be piled so that he can
fill his own filthy pockets. And yet this
rascal claims to be friend OF the work
ing classes.
There is a stretch OF concrete outside

ings In Cranston, and II we had a man
like that out there he would be thrown
