Paris, May IL. The first sign of the
intention of outside unions to participate
in the strike movement came tonight,
when at meeting of delegates Of the
Seine department it was decided the the
moment had come to throw down the
barriers separating the state employees
from the workmen."
The delegates bound themselves to start
an organization of their respective unions
so as to be ready to march out in body
when general strike should be called,
and invited the General Federation Of
Labor to take all steps necessary to create
a general movement in France.

Japan from Corea. Today the Coreans despise their priests. They call upon them in times of trouble. but otherwise treat them with contempt. There are three classes of language used among the Coreans. One Is for superiors, another for equals and a third for servants and beggars. The priests are always ad- dressed in the lowest language, and that even by children. Until the Japanese came, priests were forbidden by law to enter the capital, and this has been the case for 500 years. The Buddhist priest hood today is recruited largely from the lowest closses and from those of that class who can do nothing else. The monasteries largely take the places of orphan asylums, fatherless children being made over to the monks for education as priests. I give this on the authority of the Rev. MT. Bruen, well-known Pres byterian missionary in Taiku, In south ern Corea. Said he:
 T have spent much time in the mon- asteries and have asked many priests how they came there. One told me that when he was. small his father died, and. as his mother wished to marry again, she made him a priest. Another said he was the youngest of eight children, and that az his parents were too poor to support such a large family they had given him over to the Buddhists. These Corean priests are ignorant. They shave their heads and go about with begging bowls in their hands. They are full of superstition and have practically no hold on the people at large. The missionary work is done tirely by the Japanese Buddhists, who are of far different character and who

go to the censors before they are issued. Notwithstanding this. objectionable para graphs sometimes creep h. In such cases the police are sent around to collect and destroy the papers, and if the offense is a grievous one the journal may be sus- pended.
 Corean Surveyors.
 I am surprised at the number of Corean surveyors I see going about Seoul Both in the wide streets of the cities and in the country yellowfaced young men clad in high black hats and long white gowns may be seen setting up compasses and carrying chains from place to place. Ac- cording to the new laws, all the lands of the empire have to be surveyed and plots made for record. This job Is one that the Corean can do without losing his dignity, and as a result the young men are studying mathematics and prac- ticing in order to make surveying their profession The stores which sell sur veying instruments in Ching -Go-Kai are crowded with customers It Is surprising where the men get their money to buy the instruments.
 The Buddhsts In Seoul.
 Speaking of the translation of the Bible and the work of the missionaries, the religious Japanese are not idle. The na- tive Christians of Japan have a mission here, and the Buddhsts have built a. large temple under the shadow of the headquarters of the resident general They have a mission situated on one of the main streets of the Japanese section, and are doing what they can to revive Buddhism among the Coreans. This Is strange, inasmuch as Buddhism came to

rection. I have seen some of them Four readers go over every sheet and the greatest care is taken that each char acter Is right. This Is done by Chinese and Corean scholars. After this Dr. Gale sends the proofs to the girls of the Pres byterian mission school. They have sharp CT eyes and uuicked brains than tic old scholars and they find mistakes which the latter have overlooked. At first pr. Gale offered to pay cent for every cor rection. After a number of sheets had come back he figured up the account and sent in the money. The girls returned it the same day with letter, saying:
 We girls think we are getting enough from our teachers, and we do not want any pay.''

Coreans. The natives realize that the Japanese are now brighter than they are, and they feel that their success comes from the new education. In the past the Chinese classics were the only standards of scholarship Today our modern studies have taken the place of the clas- sics and all Corea is studying the multi plication table.
 Mission Schools vs. Government.
 Just now there Is some excitement among the missionaries on account of an imperial edict which provides that all pri- vate schools shall be under government direction. The authorities require full in- formation as to the names and character of the teachers, and also as to the re- ceipts and expenditures All books have to be passed upon by the educational de- partment, and the teaching must be as

 A Literary Awakening.
 The Coreans have always been literary people, Much of the old learning of Japan came from them, and they still hold scholarship in the highest respect. Indeed, the common word here for MT. Is "Schoolman." The Coreans call each other Schoolman Pax. Schoolman Ye or Schoolman Kim, instead of MT. Pax, Mr Ye or Mr. Kim. In the past the better classes of the people have been well up in Chinese, and I have seen picnic parties

of young Corean gentlemen engaged in writing Chinese poetry under the trees.
 They would take a text and try who could make the best rhymes. Such young men are now studying the modern languages and sciences. They have laid aside Con New Testament, which has been trans lated by the missionaries, and also a number of other books which are being turned into Corean. A life of Garfield
 was recently published, and also the Story of Madam Roland" A popular book is Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress,
 Gale and a young Corean named Yank- Ki-Taik who recently had some trouble with the Japanese government. This Pill grims Progress has had large sale, and 1t Is going into new edition. I under

 The Corean Dictionary.
 One of the greatest works performed by Americans in Corea was the making of the Corean-English dictionary. This was done bq Dr. J. S. Gale, Presbyterian missionary. He began 1t in 1892 after four years residence in the country, and completed It within five years. Prior to that there was no means of inter-com- munication between the foreigners and the. natives except through the Chinese language. The work of making the dic- tionary was enormous. The definitions were in Corean, Chinese and English, and every character had to be just so, for the variation of a stroke or a point might

BANK ROBBED!
Yeggmen Blow up the Safe at
Peever Last Night and
Make Their Getaway
WITH ABOUT $1,000 IN CASH.
special to the STANDARD

special to the STANDARD
'Peever, s. D., Oct. S.-The
residents of this village were
rudely awakened from their
peaceful slumbers about two
O'Clock last night by a loud re-
port like an explosion, ana sey-
eral people hurried out with guns
to see what caused it. Investi-
cation showed that someone was
in the Firsl State Bank of Peever.
lnquisitive ones were met with
shots fired by the yeggmen in
bank, and were told to get back,
with threats to shoot the first
man who showed his head.
Several shots were exchanged
and the outside of the bank looks
like pepper box. Investigation
this morning shows that the rob-
bers came down from Sisseton
on the electric handcar which
they had stolen from the house.
The electric car was found,
ulodUlSu OcS'uc CI!c lIdCh d llCCl0
way this side of Wiimot. a
hand-car was stolen from the
section house at Wilmot and the
robbers presumably went south.
The safe in the bank was COM
pletely wrecked and about $1,000
in cash was secured. The rob-
bers were evidently old hands at
the business as all telegraph and
telephone lines leading into Pee
yer were cut and it was not un-
til seven o'clock this morning
that communication with the
outside world was established.
The bank will lose nothing as it
is protected by burglar insur-
ance. The work is supposed to
have been done by three men
who have been hanging around
Sisseton for several days.
Later reports inform us that
the hand-car has been found
near Milbank, but no trace of the
guilty parties has yet been dis
covered.
