TELLS OF KOREA.

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar, 2i.-D
W. Tevcns, diplomatic adviser to the
Korean council Of state, was an arri-
val Yesterday on the Nippon Maru,
returning on leave Of absence after
service of several years in Japan and
Korean, Stevens was at one time
secretary OF the American legation
at Toxic, and later was attached to
the Japanese legation at Washington.
In 1904, under the treaty between Ja-
pan and Korea, he was appointed to
his present position,
Stevens says that Korean people
have been greatly benefited by Jap
anese protection and that they are
beginning to look more favorably on
1t. He says the Japanese are doing
for the Koreans what America Is do
ing for the philippines. Continuing,
he said:
"You can get some idea Of the con-
dition before the war from the state
ment that the government was spend
ing 100000 yen annually on a stand
ing army of 10000 yen on public edu-
cation. The people are divided into
two classes, the peasantry and the
official classes. The former were
ground down until nothing but bare
existance was left from their labor,
while the official was thoroughly cor.
rupt.
"The peasants have welcomed the
Japanese, while the official class has
NOT, but even the officials are begin
ing to see that the only hopes for the
country lies in reorganization OF the
old institutions"

ity that goes on in the most crowded
beehive of industry in the world.
There are many other parts OF the
city that are almost as crowded as
this, one district of 1856 acres, about
the size of an average farm, contain
ing over 1000 factories employing
more than 10000 workers.
Health, like about everything else,
is at least twice as expensive in New
York as elsewhere. For once in a
way its expensiveness, of which the
city is rather proud, is likely to re-
act in a serious manner affecting the
safety Of life itself As result OF
various suggestions in different states
to establish some form or regulation
of physicians fees. statistics bearing
on this subject have just been collect
ed for the first time by Appleton's
and are now appearing in its April
number They illustrate in an aston
ishing manner the effect on public
health so far as its care is concerned
of the conditions which makes New
York the most expensive city to live
in in the United States. AS result
of these conditions Father Knicker
booker finds himself in the position
of being less able to attract the most
capable medical talent than are small
ler communities, since on the author
ity of an eminent physician $4,000 is
not too high an estimate for the
modern Capua before the young doc
tor can be self supporting In this
country, based on the statistics which
have been collected from more than
5000 doctors in every part of the
Union, the cost, including education.
will hardly average more than $l5,-
600 including education, Moreover
the figures show that while the prac-
titioner who settles here cannot ex-
pect to be self supporting much be-
fore he is SO years old, the young
doctor in the smaller communities
can do so several years earlier. While
this subject has never been brought
to notice before since statistics have

a LEGISLATIVE PROGRAMME.
Measures Proposed Involve Perplex-
ing Difficulties and Will Have Far
Reaching Effect on Business and
Economic Conditions of Country

WASHINGTON, March 21-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has determined on 4
legislative program, the enactment Of
which will be urged upon Congress in
a special message which he said TODAY
will 60 in next week. Each of the
measures proposed involves perpIex-
ing difficulties and each will have a
far reaching effects on the business
and economic conditions of the coun-
try. The program is the product of
important conferences through which
the President has been put in posses
sion of the views of all the interests
concerned.
Likewise the attitude of the leaders
of both branches of Congress have
been made known. Its success de-
pends upon the combined effort which
he believes can be brought to bear in
behalf of the whole plan by those
affected especially by some of its
features.
The program includes the declara-
ton in favor of a revision of the
tariff in a SPECIAL session to be held
after March 4, 1909, an amendment
to the Sherman antitrust law so as to
make important concessions to the
combinations of both labor and capi-
tai. Limiting the powers of certain

The movement to establish here
school of really American art has re-
ceived new impetus from the utter
ances of the various English sculptor
George E. Wade who sailed from
this city for England this week. AS
England's foremost sculptor, Mr..
Wade's opinion is entitled to carry
weight, He said plainly before leav-
ng that he thought it great pity that
America, with so many artists of real
ability, should continue to allow them
to obliterate their national personality
in old world schools and advanced
the opinion that it would be better to
keep them here by force to develope
the principles Of characteristic Ameri
cans. Mr.. Wade rather controverted
the prevailing idea when he contend.

with the artistic temperament which
he considers to be in its broadest
sense enthusiasm for whatever work
may be in hand AS Mr. Wade is the
author of such famous works as the

"Of what relative value Is the Allan

PORTLAND, March 20. = At this
time Of the week the demand for
poultry is usually stronger than at
any other time, but the market has
been a dull one all this week and
there was no perceptible improvement
today. Hens are quoted at 13ac to
l4c, Springs at 14c to l4ac and fryers
at Hc to l8c, while it is hard to dis

poultry from the East are still an ad-

SING SING ACCUSED OF THEFT
Other Interesting Conditions and
Items Happening in Largest City
on American Continent-There Are
Over 100000 Yachts For Sale.

NEW YORK, Mar. 2l.-As a re-
suit of the money stringency the
strange features never before en-
countered is presented here Of bar
gain counter sale OF yachts by New
York's millionaire. More than %.-
100000 OF the largest pleasure YES
sells of the city's wealthiest inhabit-
ants are now on the market at great
ly reduced prices. That the tremen-
dous expenditures incident to the
maintenance and operation of steam
yacht will keep ashore many New
Workers who formerly took to the
sea in their own craft each year can
not be doubted. If present condi-
tons continue, it is likely that
sacrifice Of automobiles will come
next At present more than fifty of
the largest yachts owned here are in
the market, an indication of the des-
ir4 of the city's rich to retrench.
They run in size from 800 foot
ocean going yacht to the seventy foot
racing sloop, and in prices from $500,
900 for the former to $1,000 for the
latter--a mere fraction in each case of
the original cost and present value.
Most of the yachts are offered at a
sacrifice constituting significant in
dication of the present proverty OF
New York's millionaires and many
OF them contain decorations in the
shape OF rugs, pictures and furniture
valued at many times the price asked
for the boats, That the throwing of
more than 100000 worth of these
craft on the market at present is an
indication of the pitiful plight of the
poor millionaire is evidenced by the
fact that the list of owners anxious
to secure few pennies for their pal
atial pleasure craft comprises such
names as Gould, Vanderbilt, Astor,
Leeds, Billings and others here to
supposed to be beyond the pinch of
hard times.
Although a walk on the East Side
would show anybody who cared to
look the astonishing conditions of
crowding, squalor and misery under
which large proportion of the city's
population lives, apparently vast
number of New Workers had no idea
of what these fully were to Judge by
the interest that has been aroused by
the Exposition of Congestion held
here during the present week, One
rather surprising point brought out
by this exposition has been the con-
gestion of industry as well as popu-
Iation that exist here, 1t was shown
that single block just east of lower
Broadway in the manufacturing dis
trict contains over 1900 workers, or
1910 to the acre, There are no sky
scrapers in this block, the height of
most of the buildings being about
twelve stories. If one will construct
a mental picture of more than twelve
hundred persons working on ground
space of a single acre he will gain
some impression of the intense activ-
