another street many other large brick
buildings are rapidly rising, and on the
sides of the hills, overlooking this magnifi-
cant country. are long lines of cottages,
built in japanese style, but much warmer
than those of Japan. They are the homes
of the colonies, captains and lleutenants.
The palace of the comrnander-in-chief
referred to at the beginning of my letter,
is still farther on beyond the army head
quarters, which in size correspond some
what to that Of one of the great govern
ment buildings az Toxic. This residence
is being constructed of steel and red
brick. 1t is Of three stories and basement,
and It is by the far the finest building
ever begun in Korea. 1t will have every
modern Improvement and will be one of
the wonders of this part Of the far east.
The building Is still in the scaffolding, but
the walls have been finished, and 1t is
about ready for roofing. 1t will probably
be completed during the year. The COM
mander-in-chie of the army of Korea is
lower in rank than the resident general,
and l am wondering what will be the
home Of the latter when it is constructed.
1t may be that II is to add to the impress
sion that prevails here as to the mighty
power of the Japanese army, and be a
living evidence of it's unlimited riches and
strength.

The Tokyo of Korea.

II was to see Yong-san and TO have an
Interview with General Hasegawa, the COM
mander-in-chie of the Japanese forces In
Korea, that l rode in company with Mr..
Takouma Kouroda out from Seoul in my
nnriksha this afternoon. Our way was
through the wide street which leads to the
gate known as Nandaimon, a mighty struo-
ture OF stone. with two heavy roofs of
black tile, one above the other, each deco
rated with demons. The crowd was thick
all the way to the gate, Und there we had
10 turn and make our way around at the
Ride, the gate being now too small to ac-
commodate the traffic. The wall Of Seoul,
which extends clear around the city, and
which until lately, was closed every night
by great doors plated with iron, has had
to be cut at this point, and two wide roads
made at each side. These 20 right through
tho wal. and the gate itself has been built
about with granite 50 that It stands there
is a beautiful monument. 1t has gorgeous
electric lamps at each entrance. both in
and outside the city, and It is a fit mark
Of the union of the past and the present.
a few years ago the only buildings
beyond this gate were scattered matched
huts hugglng the wall. Now. the wide
road which has been made from there to
the River Han is lined for a mile with
japanese and Coroan buildings. and there
are many foreign structures as well. The
Corean electric street car line, belonging
to an American firm. has n regular serv-
ice, which takes one TO the Han, which
Is about three miles away. And not far
from the gate Is the chief railroad depot
Of Seoul, at which one can get cars for
Chemulpo to take ship for China, or go on
the trunk line about 800 miles north to the
edge OF Manchuria, or by an equal dis
lance south to Fusan, where a nights ferry
over the Strait of Corea will put you in
Japan.
We passed many soldiers on our way
down this road. There were cavalry on
horseback crowding the Corean traffic off
TO the side, and now and then a company
OF infantry, dusty and tired by their long
march from the interior. We went by
scores OF bullocks loaded with fuel, great
bundles OF evergreen branches, a half ton
in weight. which rose high over their
heads and hung down at the sides almost
to their feet. We passed carts of lumber.
the boards tied up in strings. and bullocks
drawing all sorts OF building materials.
There were many women, both Japanese
and Coreans, and gorgeous hated yang
bans or Corean mobiles, on foot. l remem-

WILL PASS
POSTAL BANK BILL
Aldrich Finally Won Over.
House to Block Measure
This Session.

Tt is now generally understood that the
postal savings bank bill will be passed
at this session by the Senate. Tt win
not get through the House, but the
changed attitude toward it leads to eE-
pectation that it will finally pass that
body at the next regular session. Tr@
change in the situation is credited 10
the influence of Postmaster General
Meyer, who urged it upon Senator Al
drich.
Aldrich opposed the bin pending the
report Of the currency commission, of
which he is the head. He wants to bring
out of the commission a central bank
measure and believes that to add pos
tai bank system to the present currency
scheme would complicate # and make
additionally difficult the adjustment TO
the new scheme
Mr.. Meyer, however. urged upon him
that IF a central bank is to be the solu-
ton, a postal bank system ought to be
established in advance, because in two
or three years IT would bring several
hundred million. and probably a billion,
Of dollars into the Government 5eposi-
tories. This could be used as TIE basis
or new issues Of currency and ths Gov
eminent could thus escape from the
present necessity OF a bond-secured cir
CulatiOu.
This view impressed the Rhode Island
Senator faVOrably. and he Is disposed to
permit the measure TO pass. Western
members are beginning to be very hone
full of the bills success.

New Method of Reducing Fat

A news item from Paris informs US
that the American method of producing
a slim, trim figure, is meeting with as
tonishing success. This system, which
