the vestibule passenger train was
bounding along at forty miles an

to the ground eight feet below.

recognition made her drop the pis-

TELLS OF KOREA.
Pity OF Senator Stone Rises at
Gushing OF Nation.
Marquis Ito Rules by Force Em-I
peror and Father Prisoners In Pal
ace--Reckoning is Certain.


Senator William J. Stone, Of Mis-
souri,, who spent week at Seoul,
Korea, investigating the Korean sit
uation, was received In audience by
the Emperor, and the Marquis Ito
chaperoned him. Senator Stone, sum
ming up the situation, said to q cor
respondent Of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat:
From Korean standpoint the
situation is pathetic. For the first
time In my life have seen the mail
ed hand of a foreigner lay ruthlessly
over a conquered people. One EN-
peror has been forced to abdicate to
make place for weaklng. Both are
held in practical imprisonment by
their conquerors.
There is an armed Japanese force
about the palace, and Koreans are
denied the right Of access or com
munication with the palace, all but
the suppliant ministers doing the bid
ding of Marquis Ito, and who dare
not show themselves in the streets
Of Seoul without japanese guard.
No man, Korean or foreigner, can
have an audience with the Emperor
except by permission, and in the pres
ence Of Marquis Ito. The Emperor
and his father are prisoners in their
own palace, and the Marquis Ito is
the real ruler. The Government Is a
despotism of foreigners, upheld by
military force.
THE people OF - rca are overaw-
ed, intimidated and subdued. and
we'll they may be, for he who rules
them is as ruthless and as arbitrary
as savage and Is supreme
1T is pitiful to note the hopeless
ness and helplessness of this unhap-
py people. No American could wit
ness this tragedy without feeling
Of profound sorrow for the victim,
but unhappily, in view Of the Philip
pines. the American protest is silent
from an international standpoint.
"The purpose of the Japanese is to
appropriate Korea and make 1t a
gateway for encroachment upon
China. The Chinese policy OF Japan
is one of territorial and commercial
aggrandizement, and this policy is
carried forward with ruthlessness
uneXampled in modern times. Right
is based on might. while the world
looks on indifferently.
But history is being made here,
which, in its ultimate and intended
consequences, is far beyond the con-
fines Of this country and involves farl
more than the destiny Of this unhap-
py Empire. Some day there will be,
and must be, a reckoning"
