The Daily Mail's Toklo correspon dent says that M. Pavioff, the Russian minister at Seoul, has notified the Korean government that Korean troops have crossed the Chinese boundary repeatedly and commuted excesses against the inhabitants. Russian customs officials at the extreme northeast report similar occurrences and assert that the Koreans are burning villages and killing people. Minister Pavioff warned the authorities that such proceedings would necessitate severe measures. The correspondent says that riots have broken out at Chyung Cheyngdo in the province of Pfyongan, Korea. The Daily Mall's Seoul correspon-lent- , cabling yesterday, makes no entlon of these disturbances, but, according to the Daily Telegraph's Tokio correspondent, learns that a general rising is imminmit at Phong Yang and that Korean soldiers are cooperating with the retielB. Phong Yang was the scene in which the rioting led to war between China and Japan. The Daily Mail's Port Arthur' correspondent estimates that the total number of Russian troops now in Manchuria is 200,00ft, half of whom arc guarding the railway. The correspondent says: China's Arm stand since' the' of Mukden haa complicated the Russian arrangements in Alan churls for defense and doubled the difficulties of guarding the long line of communication between the boundaries and the coast line.

MiniMcr of the Interior Plehvw, ha completed tbe draft of the peasant code or system of peasant reforms ordered by tho ('ear's recent manifesto, and it will probably be sent to the local committee throughout the empire within a few days. Mem oers of the nobility In each province and district will be allowed In olcpt rcpn'M'iitatives on those theXamstevcs (nr elective provincial assemblies composed of landed proprietors and representatives of the artisans and peasants), will be appointed by the governors. The committee will be allowed freedom to discuss the subjects and propone any changes therein, except on three points which the Emperor has reserved from discussion, namely: That the peasant class must remain entirely separate, legally, from the other classes: that the commune is to remain untouched by lugislatiun and that, the peasant lands are to remain Inalienable. These points stamp the forthcoming legislation as conservative in the main, but the present chans is so great and so much room ia left fur the arbitrary conduct of the police and the local representatives of the ministry of the Interior, as well as of (lie peasant courts and administrative machinery and their commune town meeting, that the Liberals declare the modification would be in the line of progress. The Emperor regards the preservation of the peasant class, the retention of the economic commune and the inalienability of peasant land as necessary for the protection of the peasants from exploitation. - Up on Beach So Bad That Ilillslioro.
