JAPAN's CLUTCH ON KOREA.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Thus far Japan's policy toward Ko.
rea has been simple and direct. In
1894 Japan pointed out that her own
vital interests were gravely menaced
by the decadence into which Korea
had fallen under Chinese suzerainty
and by the growing danger of the
seizure OF Korea by some western
power, and sho demanded certain re
forms. These China refused to grant
with the result that war followed. at
the end of which Victorious Japan en-.
forced the reforms and ended China's
suzerainty over Korean. But the
amazing Incompetence and corruption
OF Korea next threatened to make that
country the easy prey of Russia
wherefore Japan again intervened for
her own protection, and defeated Rus
sian rs she had defeated China.
Following the Russian war Japan
exacted of Korea series of treaties.
The first provided that the Korean
government should adopt the advice
or Japan In regard to improvements
In administration. while Japan gllnr.
anteed the independence and terri.
toriai integrity of Korea Under the
second Korea agreed to regulate her
hhances and foreign relations accord
ing to japanese advice. The third es-
tholished a Japanese resident general
at the Korean capital. and the fourth
following the abdioation OF the Ko.
rean sovereign. placed Korea under
the control of the Japanese resident,
his approval being necessary for all
legislation.
