Twelve Million People Will Be
Added to Population of
Island Empire
CONVENTION NOW SIGNED
Subjects in Hermit Kingdom Kept
in Ignorance of Negotia-
tiOnS for Annexation
Associated Pressl

| TOXIC, Aug. 2f.-Within the week
the Hermit kingdom and the Empire of
Korea will become historical terms,
100000 people will be added to the
population of Japan, and territory as
large as England will become part
Of the Japanese empire.
The treaty of Portsmouth, which set
tied the war between Japan and Rus
sia, provides that Japan shall have
the guidance, protection and control
of Korea, and the last stage of this
agreement is now becoming an actual
ity after three years of experimenting
to discover a practical method for con-
servation of the national entity of the
Korean peninsula.
SIGNIFICANT COUNCIL ORDER
The privy council of Japan today was
summoned to meet at 10:30 o'clock
ed by well-informed persons as prac-
ITALY the signal to complete the ne
gotiations between Lieutenant-General
Terauchi, the Japanese resident-gener-
al in Korea, and the emperor of Ko-
rea and his cabinet, which have con-
tinued a week.
While the negotiations are shrouded
longer can be any doubt that the Ko-
rean emperor has agreed to sign a con-
vention by which, in view of the un-
tenable conditions obtaining, he and
his government and people consent to
| the absolute control Of Korea by the
emperor and government of Japan.
Tonight extra editions of the news
papers say the convention already has
been signed, but whether or not this
| be so some announcement is expected
shortly after the meeting tomorrow of
the privy council. This probably will
include the official proclamation of the
conclusion. of the convention of annex
alton unless all the representations Of
we'll informed persons are incorrect.
KOREANS TO BE PRINCES
| The vi dynasty in Korea has lasted
| for SIS years. Seven branches of the
| family remain, and the heads of these
will be given rank as princes. A num-
ber of other officials will be elevated
t the Japanese nobility.
Throughout negotiations the mass of
the Koreans have been kept in entire
ignorance of what has been transpir-
ing. The newspaper censorship is COM
plete and Japanese newspapers have
not been permitted to be sold in Korea.
1t is not believed, however, that an
nexation by Japan will involve disturb
l.ances in any section of Korea, which is
thoroughly policed Certainly the court
and cabinet officials in the peninsula
are quite complacent. The vast ma
j0rity of the people Of Korea realize
that conditions in their country will be
improved, and it will be impossible for
the malcontents to arouse sufficient
feeling to create uprisings.

evidently located at Beverly.
Roosevelt speaks at Aswatomle Aug
