 War With Russia.
 Japan felt a desire for war with Russia in order to show it's strength. War would cost money and it was decided to borrow money. Japan had & silver standard and in order to borrow money from other powers must change to gold standard. This also would cost money, so the war on China resulted and China paid. The war with Russia followed.
 By defeating China, Japan told the Koreans that they had freed Korea. Japan then proceeded to demand i'm possible grants and favOrs from Ko- req. The queen stood in the way of Japan's plans, so Japanese ambas- sador was sent to Korea. He hired a gang of twenty gunmen, and they kill ed and burned the queen. Korea and the whole world were so mortified at the event that Japan was forced to try the ambassador on the charge of causing the queens death. The yer dict was that while tue ambassador had hired the gang men it could not | be proven that they bad killed the wo- man because he hired them to and nc' 1 of their own Volition.

Besieqed by Koreans.

MT. Hulburt then gave an intensely exciting account of a night which he with two other Americans passed with the king when q band of 1000 kO- reans were outside the walls clamOr- ing for the blood of the seven members of the cabinet which Japan had ap- pointed ostensibly to assist the king, but in reality to betray him. Three weeks later the king escaped to Rus sia for protection. But as a result of the cruel and treacherous conduct of Japan, the Japanese were without moral power in Korea for some years In 1904, Japan fought Russia over Korea I wanted to see Japan win as you did. because 1 felt that in spite of the past, in the future the Japanese would be forced to treat the Koreans justly. But. instead, Japan demanded two- thirds of Korea, which aroused such a storm of indignation that the demand was withdrawn.
 The speaker then gave an account of the advance of civilization in Ko- req and illustrated the simplicity oi their alphabet compared with thai used by China and Japan. Korea, ht said, in civilization is still 500 year: ahead of Japan and China. For 5Q( years Buddhism has been extinct 1T Korea, while 1t still flourishes at its height in Japan.
 Japanese Rob Koreans.
 The Japanese have been steadily robbing the people of Korea, taking their land and their homes. The king in alarm asked my advice, and togeth- CT we went through the treaty between the United States and Korea. The 6rct 6aunaDdG that aitbpl country shall use her influence to set that the other country suffers no harm from a third power if an amicable set clement is possible As the king'i envoy I sought this country but wal | unable to secure intervention on tn, part of the United States between Jap | an and Korea, on account of another | treaty with Japan, by which the Unit | ed States agreed not to interfere il l the management of Korea. Two con | ficting treaties. The United State was then in grave danger of war witt l Japan, much greater than the publi, supposes, so that intervention in behal | of Korea would have been most un | polite.
 Philippine Islands Worth Millions.
 The Philippine islands are worth { | million dollars an acre to the United States A chain of islands separate l China from the west and all beloni l to Japan except the Philippines Through the Philippines lies the onl. gateway for Americas commerce witt l China.
 Japan's acquisition of the Philip pines would be a vital blow to thi | country. For Korea, we can but be lieve that when famine and wrorV and calumny have done their wors some archangel will step down to righ the woes of the Koreans.
