ANT STATE DOCUMENT.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 26.-With
Durham w. Stevens, the man they
Eated, dead, 1sorean patriots are now
turning their eyes towards the Japa-
nese Consul Koike who they believe is
the custodian of papers that Stevens
carried with him, signed by Korea's
pupet council of state, setting forth
the great progress made by Korea un-
der the Japanese domination. Re-
peated denials of the consul that Stew
ems had any such statement with him
has had no deterrant effect on the
minds of the Koreans and they are still
determined to prevent the transmission
of the paper to Ambassador Takahira
and President Roosevelt.
Nothing can convince the Koreans
that this document does not exist and
it is believed that they have had Ko-
rean aivices that Stevens did carry
such a Paper with him.
Their information may come from the
council of state itself. Both Koreans
and the Japanese detectives are watch
ing each other.
Local Koreans realize that they have
gone too far to withdraw and their
state of mind is such they will stop at
nothing To attain their ends.
Consul Koike has admitted he believes
he is marked for death and his associ-
ates declare they believe his fears
have foundation. If KOike starts for
Washington it is certain he will be
followed.
