RICHMOND, Va, July 15-Judge Alton
B. Parker and his daughter, Mrs. Hall of
New York, spent yesterday in the city. In
the afternoon they dined with ]. Aston
Cabell in his home Mr.. Cabell when seen
this morning by a reporter said: Judge
Parker believes firmly that the democrats
of New York and the north would be glad
to support a southern man for the pres
idency.
In fact Judge Parker said that it was not
only a mistake but an injustice to the
democrats of the north to think that they
would not support a southern man for the
presidency, and that If a southern man Of
high character and recognized ability should
be nominated he would receive the loyal
and Jealous support of New York dem
ocrats and would command as many votes
as candidate from any other section
Judge Parker was unwilling to EXPRESS
any choice for the nomination, or who was
the most suitable man, but he did say that

INTRIGUES OF THE EMPEROR
Palace at Seoul Said to Be Hive of
Conspirators.
DEMAND CHANGE
Cabinet Intelligent But Not Supported
by People-Cling to Imperial
Family From Habit.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
TOXIC, July 15.-Viscount Hayashi, min
lister of foreign affairs, started suddenly for
Seoul this afternoon. The government has
asked the newspapers not to say anything
about Corean affairs.
The Emperor of Corea. since he sent on
July cipher telegram to Prince vi at
The Hague, saying that he was a prisoner
in his palace, has obstinately refused to
receive the premier or the members of the
cabinet, because both premier and cabinet
are pro-Japanese
The palace at Seoul has become hive
of conspirators Meanwhile Prince Ito, tie
Japanese resident is inactive. But this
inaction on his part is said to be charac-
teristic. Such periods are followed by
clevery conceived and rapidly executed
measures. What action may be expected is
not known. Both the newspapers AMI the
parliament are urging decisive measures.
The newspapers are a unit in demanding
the end of situation that is intolerable
and due entirely, they say, to the intrigues
of the empeIo
1t is declared that the present Corean
cabinet is intelligent, united and progress
sive, but that it is not receiving the sup
port of the people at large. who are wholly
Indifferent to the fate of any or the Off
GERS, but are additionally and strongly
attached to the imp erial family, where
practical inbecility reigns.
The Yomiuri advises d radical change and
points to the precedent of Frances action In
Madagascar; action that was taken on much
less propagation than Japan has received in
Corea.
The practically completed Russo-Japanese
entente on Asatc affairs will naturally
strengthen Japan in any action she may
take to Corea.
Madagascar has practically belonged to
France since 1885, although from that time
until 1896 it was norninally French protec-
torate In 1888 Queen Ranavalona III hav-
ing Just succeeded to the throne, the French
claimed q portion of the northwest coast OF
the island that had been coded to them
many years before by native chief The
Hova tribe, in whose territory the coded
land lay, and the queen refused to acknowl-
edge the claim, and war followed for about
two years. In 1885 peace was made. Diego
Suarez was ceded to France, French resi-
dent was received at the capital. and NADIA
gascar became recognized protectorate
| That is, it was acknowledged by such DOW
ers. but the queen and her people refused to
do SO.
More war followed, ending, of course, in
French victory, and on October I, 1895 the
French troops, having occupied the capital
| the queen formally accepted the protector
ate The rest was easy, and France settled
all native objections to this action of the
queen and French interference by passing a
! law on August q, 1896 declaring the island
and its dependencies a French colony
