the two committees to hold the hear
lngs on both matters in the hall of the
House, but when the notices were sent
out the conflict in the dates was not
noted and this discovery was made too
late to recall the notices. Accordingly
it has been agreed by the two commit
tees that those interested in both hear
ingS will assemble at the hall of the
House at the appointed time, and the
hearing which attracts the largest
number OF people will be held in the
hall of the House, while the hearing
having the smaller number of persons
present in connection with it, will ad-
journ to another room, probably the
fish and game department. Another
important hearing, which will I'M
doubtedly bring forth great deal OF
oratory is assigned for the hall of the

hearing before the committee on fed

ing United States senators and repre-

They give, and in many cases are actually
slaughtered by the Japanese soldiers for

the so-called insurgents whose deaths are
reported In the newspapers are members
OF villages who nave thus forcibly been
made TO harbor insurgents,
Soldiers and Christians.
The soldiers are instructed to put down
the insurgents, and they IA trouble in
finding out who the insurgents are. The
native Christians are generally neutral,
but the soldiers suspect them. Not long
ago they surrounded a church far off In the
interior. where 300 people were worshiping,
The officer instructed the pastor to go
on with his devotions, but as soon as the
church was over he corralled the members
as they came out and asked their names.
AS he did so he looked over a list OF the
suspects in the neighborhood and checked
the names off. At the close he let them
all go. He said these people are all Chris
tians and must not be molested.

the ever righteous and patriotic
army and its members are sworn to kill
all Japanese, found alone, upon sight. 1t
was to this league that the assissins who
murdered Durham White Stevens belonged
and it is said there are branches of it in
the Hawaiian islands, in the United States
and elsewhere.
The Emp Yungs operate in small bands.
They have no organized forces and they
are merely guerrillas. At first they were
largely composed of patriots who had sworn
to die for their country. They are now
made up of the dissatisfied of all sorts.
Many OF them are ex-soldiers OF the Korean
army, which was disbanded by the Jap
anese at the time when they deposed the
old emperor and put his son in his place,
They have no money, and live on the viii
lagos. This fact puts the peace-loving
Korean between the devil and the deep
sea. When a band OF rebels comes to him
and demands money or food he replies that
he dare not give It, for the japanese sol
diers will shoot him as soon as they learn
he has helped the insurgents. Thereupon,
the rebels reply: Well. If you don't give
us We want we will Kill you right
now. II you give up. you have at any rate
the chance Of living a day or so longer.
Otherwise you will die" The rebels mean
what they say. and the villagers know It.

traitors to their country, and they shoot
them even more readily than the Japanese
themselves. At the same time the pro-
Japanese inform upon their enemies among
the insurgents and aid the soldiers in
hunting them down. Indeed, It is impor-
tant for a Korean now travelling over the
country to show that he is not in favor
of the japanese government. IL he wears
foreign clothes or has cut off his hair he
is almost sure to be spotted by the rebels
sooner or later and he may be shot upon
sight.
A curious phase OF this situation is that
the Korean Christians are supposed to be
neutral or not in favor Of the japanese
government. For this reason II a Korean
traveller Is met by a band OF insurgents
he tries to convince them that he belongs
to our church.. The rebels make him prove
his faith and demand that he sing a hymn
or Tecite the Lords prayer. He is some
times asked TO say the ten commandments
as we'll. Indeed, an increased demand FOR
hymn books and Bibles In Korea has
sprung up and many who are not Chris
tians buy these to carry with them over
the country. They are better than revOl-
vers and often save the life OF the owner.
The largeste association OF these rebels
is known as the Emp Yung league. The
people here pronounce 1t Weep Yung. II

now would have swamped the facilities of the local office of that
time. while the local matter prepared daily in The Bee Office now
would have suBced an Omaha paper then for many days. These
are but few incidents in the development Of the paper with the
growth of the world. 1t was established first with no Idea Of per-
nanency, but it grew even greater than its founder dreamed, and
with his personality it expanded to become an institution of infu-
ence and importance in the affairs of the city and state, known
throughout the land, and permanent in its existence and prosperity.
Naturally, the growth of the newspaper has been accompanied
by a growth in its publishing plant. Originally The Bee was pub
lished in a little job printing Office, with a dry goods box for the
editors desk, and its business was transacted wherever the editor
and publisher CHANGED to meet a customer. From this start to a
plant of its own was the first step in real expansion, and then the
continued growth Of the paper and its steadily increasing business
took 1t through several buildings, each with equipment commensu-
rate for the time, until it finally was moved into the Bee building
twenty years ago. But even here the growth did not stop and the
plant that was adequate at that time has long since been outgrown,
and the latest of machinery has supplanted the equipment then
thought to be complete. And the quarters assigned to it in the new
building have also been changed, so that room might be had for the
accommodation of the increasing force needed to carry on the work

end of feuds among these people. and the
average native will do anything to bring
about the death Of those against whom
he has a personal grudge. The Japanese do
not understand the Korean language and
they ave to rely upon the natives as
spies and interpreters. Such men point
out those whom they hate as insurgents
and as a result have them killed. The
japanese have taken many OF the old
Korean soldiers into their police force
and are using them as gensdarmes
throughout the country. such Koreans
are much more cruel than the Japanese
themselves and they are believed to be
responsible for a large proportion OF at

mercy. Within the last year 1t is estimated
that something like 1900 people have been
killed on the charge OF being insurgents.
The chronicles OF the Instructions and
the numbers killed and wounded are pab-
lished from day TO day in the Seoul Press.

foreigners who have kept count tell me
that the deaths are running very close TO
1000 per month. This seems an enormous
number. especially as the authorities say
that the conditions are growing better end
better and that the rebels. with the ex-
ception OF bandits and professional bril-
gands, have almost disappeared. There is
no doubt but that Japan must manage
Korea with a strong hand II it would bring
about peace and order, but it is question

Viewed simply as an example of
this rarely seen type of architec-
ture, the Bee building would be
much worth while. Accordingly,
the determination to carry out in
further detail the Byzantine effect
may fairly be described as praise
worthy.

travelling over the country. One such case
was that Of Mr.. A. r, Weigall, an Aus
tralian mining engineer, who had his

latter and Weigan narrowly escaped being
shot. The treatment OF Mrs. Weigall was
~barbarous. The Japanese excuse this. how
ever, by saying that Weigall refused to
give Information about himself to the SOL
diers. When they asked him how old
he was he said: zone hundred and ten"
and he claimed that his name was King
Edward the Sixth and that he lived in
Buckingham palace. Similar answers given
to a company OF cur troops In the Philip

The latest step taken In this
direction has been to remodel
and enlarge the room set
apart for the uses of the bust
ness office.
1t was determined when
the enlargement was con-
ceived that the work should
be so treated and carried out
that harmony with the gem
eral architectural scheme of
the Bee building might result.
Plans were laid that in gen.

Spondence OF The Bee The
situation here in Korea is
A much the same as that OF the
Philippines at the close of our
N war with Spain. II is even
worse on account OF the horde OF low-class
Japanese who are overrunning the country
and In many cases o~utraging the natives.
The average Korean cannot believe that
japan is anxious to develop this country for
his good and he considers II a patriotic duty
to drive out the so-called invaders. There
are organized societies OF insurgents who
have sworn to kill any Japanese soldier or
citizen II they catch him apart from his
fellows Small bands OF these societies are
now scattered all owe Korea They have
taken into their ranks the disaffected and
rasoally officials who have lost their Jobs
by the japanese taking hold OF the gov
eminent. as well as idlers and ex-soldiers
and even the old bandit element which has
for generations preyed upon the country.
In the meantime the Japanese army Is
doing all It can to wipe out these insur-
gents. General Hasegawa, the commander
in-chief, has something like 10000 men IN
the field. These are scattered from one
end OF Korea to the other, and they shoot
or hang the Insurgents OF sigh For a

where Roman art was so careless, was thoroughly Hellenic; its devel
opment Of interior effects, its Capitalization and use for a systematic
propaganda of ideas was thoroughly Roman. But in lone of this
was Byzantine art a plagiarist 1t simply utilized these various ele-
ments in the service of a perfectly original scheme. outside of its
home sphere its influence was most important. 1t is quite certain
that if. when the northern tribes wiped out Roman culture in the
west, Byzantine influence had not been actively exerted in Italy; if
Ravenna, and then Venice, had not been preserved as Byzantine out
posts, and Rome resuscitated by Byzantine monks and immigrants;
If Greek colonies had not been thrown into southern Italy; II Sicily,
under the NOrmans, had not subjected itself to Byzantine influence,
and if the great maritime republics that held the trade of the world
in their hands from the ninth to thirteenth century-Amalf, Venice,
Pisa, Genoa-had not brought to the west all portable works of BY
zanine art and themselves become impTegnated with the artistic at
