Quick death for some lingering agony for many; a

D. E. Campbell motorman of the eastbound extra, is

snging to life by slender thread He has gasped out
that he thought the track clear and that he would
meet the regular train five miles farther
The company officials say he should have waited at

Motorman James Delaney of the regular had practically
stopped his train before the crash Campbell said he had
almost stopped his Delaney had time to jump; Campbell
did not.
The people packed in the behind either had for
the most pert warning of the impending catastrophe
although few looking out of the windows, had brief
warning and tried to shout it to the rest.
Spokane Inland officials blame Campbell for pulling
out but the motorman with his failing breath says he
thought he had the right of way Why did he think 500

The hand of the emperor of Japan in his
ruling of Korea is for the present, nomin-
ally at least, gloved with velvet. Inside
the glove, however, there is a fist Of iron,
and the man who represents this Is Cen
eral Hasegawa, one of the most famous
soldiers in his majesty's army. He is
commander-in-chie of the garrison in
Korea, and as such has entire control OF
military affairs on the peninsula. He be-
lieves in ruling the people with a strong
hand, and IL he had his will he would. I
am told, institute a military dictatorship
and stop what may be called the humanita-
rian foolishness now carried on by Uncle
Sam and the emperor Of Japan in trying
to train up weak and corrupt nations to
the ability Of governing themselves. Gen.
eral Hasegawa would not acknowledge

much the same way that the Russians

Of the international cards for the stake of
Korea there is a bare possibility that at
some time in the far future Yong-san may
be one OF the prizes which will go into
the hands Of Russia taking the place that
Dalny has now in the hands of Japan.
At the present Yong-san Is about the
l~iveliest Japanese spot in Korea. A great

They are making drains and digging
foundations. A system of water works
has been put in which supplies the mill

one another at right angles, have been
laid out, covering almost the whole ter
ritory. Roughly speaking. I should say
there is room on the site for several hun

Omaha daily bee., 1909-05-30

several thousand of these are here in
Seoul. There are a score or more of
great two-story brick structures already
erected, which are now occupied by the
men, and there are similar buildings for
the subordinate headquarters filled with
offices and barracks for non-commissiOned
officers in every branch of the service,

anything like as we'll as the mikado does
these young Japanese. The barracks are
as substantially built as any structures in
the United States. They are well de-
signed and well lighted, and every man
has the right amount of air space. They
are heated by Russian stoves which are
built up in the corner Of each room. The
soldiers sleep on spring beds, they take
hot baths once a day and their food Is
carefully prepared.
During my stay I went through the kit
chens of some of the establishments. 1t
was was about time for dinner, and great
tubs Of steaming rice had Just been taken
from the fire, while fried fish and vege-
tables were being ladled out on the plates
of polished aluminium. In order to make
the camp equipment as light as possible
all the dishes used by the men are OF this
metal, the rice for each being served in
an aluminium box of about the size of that
which holds 100 cigars. Each man gets
such a box Of rice at every meal and a
fixed supply of fish, vegetables and sauce,
which is varied in character from day to
day. The food was put up in such por-
ions on trays, each of which carried
twenty-four plates and rice boxes, and
these trays were carried by men to the
dormitories nearby. All of the Japanese
soldiers now wear European shoes. I
judge they still find them uncomfortable,
however, for ] noticed at the entrance to
each barracks great rows of these shoes
outslde In the halls, and that the men, as
as they jumped from their touches and
stood at attention as I passed with their
colonel, were in their stocking feet.

as Prince Ito says. There is no doubt,
however, but that he believes in a strong
hand being used in Korea, and hat he Is
able to WELD it IL the same should be
ordered.
The main object of my visit to Yong-san
today was to meet the general and have a
talk with him. My audience took place In
his headquarters. and we drank tea and
smoked cigarettes as We chatted together
through the medium of Mr.. Kouroda-
General Hasegawa is now SO years Of
age. He began his life in the army at %
as a major and rose to be a colonel six
years later. He was a major general in
1886, and he commanded a brigade in che
Japan-China war. At that time he was
noted as a hero of Port Arthur, and in the
war with Russia he again won his spurs
as the commander of the imperial guards
men under General Kuroki, leading 1t to
victory at the Yalu and the battle of Lao
yang. He was made a general in 1904, and
after that battle was appointed head of the
army In Korea. He is now practically at
the top of the Japanese military regime,
and should there be a war with any for
eign power the probability is that he would
be in command.
General Hasegawa looks like a soldier.
Indeed, he reminds me much of our Cen
eral Lawton, who was killed in the Philip
pines. He has the same slender figure,
the same erect bearing and an eye which
IL equally piercing. He has a jaw OF iron,
high cheek bones and a high, broad, but
rather receding, forehead. His eyes are
almost straight, and his nose is larger than
that of the ordinary Japanese. His face
is full of red blood, but 1t is bronzed from
his life in the field. He wore today his
military uniform, which is the color OF
khaki. and on the breast Of its coat 1
noticed eight silk loops, upon which he
hangs his principal decorations of honor
when he appears before the emperor and
upon state occasions.

Not altogether" was the reply. "They

never work. This is so as far as the pres

have considered it disgraceful to work and
the hangers-on of the official circles who
have lived by squeezing the common people

who he is and hope to catch him. At pres

bands. They are so scattered that 1t will

Japsn's Military Concession.

We went fully two miles before we
reached the limits OF the military conces-
sion. Here the street car line branches
off and goes on under the railroad to the
right, making its way down to the river,
The wide roads leads straight on through
the new city, At the right is a large
drill ground where several regiments of
troops could exercise at one time, and
above It are hills spotted with grave
mounds so thick that they seem to be
sown and grown as a crop. From here on
for several miles on both sides Of the
road all the land has been granted to the
japanese, The area covers thousands OF
acres, and II is some OF the most valuable
land In the vicinity OF Seoul. II originally
belonged TO the emperor, but he sold II to
the japanese for less than 10000 gold
dollars. The sale has been much eriti-
eised by the Koreans, who claim that the
ground was worth several millions and
that the sale was a forced one. Never
theless the japanese government has now
q clear uus TO 1t, and is exploiting It In
