LOOKED TO AMERICA
sy Associated Press.


LONDON, July 19.-The emperor Of Ko-
rea is without friend among the govern
ments of Europe sufficiently Interested IN
the status of the ancient Korean empire
to interpose a word in his behalf.
His majesty had always been friendly
with Russia, and the outcome of the
Russo-Japanese war was a great blow
to him.
He then looked to the United States for
support
When Edwin v. Morgan, who was the
American minister to Korea from June
26 until November 20, 1906, when the lega-
ton was abolished, refused the request
of the emperor that he take refuge at
the legation at the time the Japanese were
pressing the emperor to sign treaty
giving Japan control of the foreign af-
fairs of Korea, the emperor of Korea was
greatly disappointed, and the final re-
moval of the American legation was
great blow and disappointment to him.
Almost all the foreigners who knew the
emperor considered him as well meaning.
not regarding the crown prince as an i'm
provement.

through committees of employees. This we
have secured.
1.-THE settlement of the San Francisco
strike has far reaching significance. 1t
will put a quietus on strike talk through

"The vote of the members present at
today's meeting was 103 in favor of accept

proposition. 1t is a happy coincidence
that the strike epded on July 10, just
twenty-four years after the date on which

Many Honolulu citizens had the
pleasure for the first time last night Of
seeings the interior of the beautiful
new home recently opened by the Kilo-
Hama Art League, the occasion being
the first "at home" of the League since
it has occupied its new quarters. The

attention of the many art lovers who
thronged the spacious galleries. The
exhibition room where the new pictures
are hung is on the second floor, and is
special system of lighting leaves little
to be desired. The walls and ceilings
have been done in gray, making an
effective setting for most of the paint
ings At one end of the hall are a
number of cabinets in which are ex-
hihited work in China paintings, por-
trait Miniatures, and sketches in ivory
almost all exceedingly fine specimens
of art, and done by Mrs. e. A. Nc
Neil, H. M. Mist and Miss r. Harris.
The visitors were freely outspoken in
their admiration of the general ar
rangement and decoration of the entire
building, but the library finished ir
blue, with it's comfortable furniture
and coy hooks attracted probably the
most attention.
The exhibition will continues daily
from 10 to o'clock until June Sth dur.
ing which time the pictures on exhibit
ton on the second floor will not be OF

contains a large number of pictures
