There seemed to be an abundance of supplies and fresh supplies were coming in from Chinese sources. The Japanese block- ade has not been effective. The harbor entrance has been freed of obstruc- tions, the battleships have been re- paired and the fortifications are con- stantly being made stronger.

When within twenty miles of the strait our ships perceived on the horizon two steamers which they chased, but could not over- haul, owing to the great distance. At the same time a third ship was seen by the cruisers, which the Gromoboi was ordered to capture, The ship proved to eral shells. She then stopped and men began to jump overboard. The Grom- oboi then signaled for those on board the ship to quit the ship, which was done, the crew leaving in two boats. These, together with those who had jumzed overboard and who were picked |un by boats from the cruisers, were re- | ceived on board the Gromoboi. “The Idzumi, which was of 3000 tons, was then sunk by our guns.

B. C.” of the situation: What is the trouble in the Far East? Japan is trying to keep Russia out | of Korea. What is Korea and where is it sit- | uated? Korea is an autocracy under Japan- | ese influence, about as large as Kan- sas, with a population estimated at between eight and sixteen millions. The empire occupies a peninsula just south of Siberia, jutting into the Pa- cific Ocean between the Yellow Sea | and the Sea of Japan, and reaching within less than one hundred miles of the southern end of Japan. Is Korea a rich country? Not especially. It is a purely agri- cultural land, and the methods of cul- tivation are primitive. A few gold mines are operated and there are | supposed to be deposits of copper, | iron and coal. | Why, then, does Russia want | Korea? | Chiefly because of its position. Korea is an extension of Manchuria, | which practically belongs to Russia. In the natural development of con- tiguous territory Russian merchants have crossed the boundary into Korea and Russian interests accumulating there under the weak native govern- ment naturally look to the Czar for protection. Why is Korea of strategic value to Russia? For two reasons. First, Russian vessels must make a long detour around Korea to pass from Vladivos- tok, Siberia, to Port Arthur, the Rus- sian harbor in Manchuria. In this journey they must traverse a narrow stralt between Korea and a Japanese island, comparable to Gibraltar. To insure free passage Russia seeks to control the end of the Korean penin- sula. Second, when Russia begins its anticipated absorption of China it would be inconvenienced if a hostile power should have a-military base on the northeastern coast of Asia. There- fore it desires to annex Korea. Why does Japan object to the Rus- sian annexation of Korea? Because Japan is overcrowded with a population twelve times as dense as the invariable sidered.

The island empire has hoped, too, to make Korea the base of an attempt to extend Japanese influ- ence throughout China. Furthermore, it now conducts nine-tenths of Ko- rea’s commerce and owns Korea's two railways. Its trade and railways ! would both be threatened and proba- bly deprived of value in the event of Russia’s success. And, finally, Japan nolds that its own independence would be menaced were Russia to gain the harbor at the end of the Korean peninsula almost within cannon range of the Japanese island fortress of Tsushima. 3 Does Japan want to annex Korea? No. It is satisfied to maintain Korea's sovereignty with the éxpecta- tion that its natural advantage of situ- ation will give it the lion's. share of Korea's trade. | When did the trouble between Japan rule.

In a paper read before the Social Science Club here, after instancing the case of a man who hgs secured three divorces within a \'xry few years and had been married a fourth time, the Bishop said: “This man, and there are thousands like him, was enabled under law to wreck life after life because he could be freed from the bond of marriage more easily than he could be freed from the most trivial business con- tract, and he is permitted to marry as often as he pleases and so to be what may be called a -consecutive polygamist.’ “There is a great cry now being made against a Senator because he be- |longs to a sect which believes in polygamy, as there was a short time ago about preventing a polygamous Congressman from taking his seat. I deliberately believe that Mormon dividual and less harmful to society than the kind of polygamy practiced by thousands in many or our States. The polygamist husband supports his wives and children, the consecutive polygamist divorves wife after wife as the fancy takes him, and leaves the deserted ones to support themselves and their children, or leaves them to children often becoming inmates of c]fldren's homes. e Fashion in Crime. It would appear from the report for last year of the Prison Commissioners for Scotland that drunkenness in that country is yielding before the superior attractions of burglary. From 1902 to 1908 the commitments for trifling delin- quencies fell from 55,120 to 48,956, whereas those for serious offenses rose from 10,601 to 11,120. Certain pre- sumptuous persons have hazarded the theory that the high proportion of of- fenders, which, in the northern king- dom, declined to avail itself of the “‘op- tion” had relation to natural charac- teristics, if it was not, indeed, due to the fact that the Scotchman, much as he disliked going to prison, disliked parting with his money more. The commissioners now point out that in Ireland more than half the fines im- posed are less than 5 shillings, which probably accounts for 81 per cent of them being paid. In Scotland, on the other hand, where only 45 per cent were paid, more than half are of 10 shillings and upward.—London Telegraph. i g = > and Russia begin? It began in 1895, when, by war, Japan had forced China to recognize Korea's independence and to grant | Japan the southern end of Manchuria. Russia forced Japan to give up Man- | churia, seized the surrendered terri- tory, and secured a timber-cutting con- cession in the Yalu Valley in Koréa. ‘What brought on the present crisis? Last year Russia advanced the claim that the timber concession extends to the valleys of all rivers tributary ‘to the Yalu, and that it gives the Rus- sians the right to build railways and |to monépolize the Port of Yongampho at the Yalu's mouth. Did Russia announce its intention to annex Korea? It did not. But Japan took theé ground that its procedure meant vir- tual annexation, and so issued a pro- test. Is this likely to lead to war? Japan says it will unless Russia re- cedes from its claims.—New York Com- wercialy | be the transport ldzumi.

There her case will be examined by a prize court. “No other ships were seen during the eruise. “On board the Allanton was found a Japanese subject of the educated class.

PLADIVOSTOK, June 21.—Lying in the harbor are the three Russian cruisers which have just returned from their successful raid in the Japan Sea and Straits of Korea. Vice Admiral Bezobrazoff took the squadron out June 12. The first day the warships were fogbound. They reached the Korean Straits June 15 and were sighted and watched by a fast three- masted Japanese cruiser. Off Tsu Island the Russians pursued a vessel resembling a yacht, which escaped in shore. The Japanese transport Sado, which was sunk by the squadron, carried 1350 coolies. for railroad work in Korea, 1200 tons of coal, 1000 tons of rice, railroad and telegraph equip- ment, 100 horses and a large amount of specle. The specie was thrown overboard by the purser. Besides ten boats, the Sado carried twi rafts, each capable of carry 100 men. As soon as the crew was ordered to leave the ship the coolies rushed on deck, filled the boats and headed them far the coast. Admiral Bezobrazoff sent boats to the Sado to take off the captain and officers. Cap- tain Oguro, twelve military officers and three Englishmen in the Jrpanese service came, the others refusing to leave the ship. RUSSIANS GET MESSAGES. The Russians, having done every- thing possible to save the lives of those on bdard, discharged two tor- pedoes against the vessel.
