Show THE Sm 3rd for four of his life to the protection of the Russian legation. Frequent rumors of war followed during the next few month, and again Inter, when Russia asked for cecessksi of Maaam-pho- . on the loner end of Korea, opposite Shfmonreeki. Japan, for a naval station. The request waa being favor ably connidered when certain Japanese, acting of course, for their government bought up nil the land about the port in question available for strategic purpose. Remonstrance on tbe part of Russia prevented any use being made of the territory purchased, however, and the following year. (1900) Russia acquired auch foothold at the place ae to nullify Japans action in the matter. The period covered by the Boxer troubles in China (18M-190U-) brought outward calm to the situation In Korea, but diplomatic acfacming and working went oa Just tho same. At the cud of the Boxer trouble and on the evacuation of Peking by the allies the contes of the supremacy in Korea was resumed with more acerbity after a time than before. In September, 1902. of tha dynasty twenty-nintfounded ia 1393, who, after having actually reigned for a number of years waa declared titular Emperor in 1897. waa reported dead at the hand of tbe reform party. Japan bad, in 1895, compelled him to proclaim the independence of Korea and to promise certain reforms in the administration of government affairs, as well as commercial regulation. This, a It were, was assumed to give them an oversight of his person and arts. This sasumptlou and the attempted exercise of the right, did not at all accord with the views and purposes of Russia, in directly opposed to every move of Japan. Every day brought sharper accent to the betwuen tbe two strain of relation until It beranto apparent aoir.g time . and rifle-guwere since that the to bo tho early arbiter of the dispute. Though for some month spast all Europe d America have been Intensely Inter sted iu ihe diplomatic duel, the sparring for time and veiling tbe real pi-- i poses of the two contestant parties, they have been left. In ignorance as to both proposals and counter proposals as to the matter at issue, but are able to form some conjecture aa to the reui points at Isaac. The starting point Is the convention beta era Japan and Russia, signed at Moaeew June, 1898, by the late Prince Lnliujoff do Roslow for. Russia and Marshal Yamagata for Japan, which was as follows: Article I. The - imperial governments of Japan and Russia definitely recognise the sovereignty and entire Independence of Korea and mutuality engage to refrain from all direct Interference In the internal affaire of that country. Article 3. Desiring to avoid every possible cause of misunderstanding in the future, the imperial governments of Japan and Russia naturally engage la case Korea should apply to Japan or to Russia fur advice or aeaaietance, not to lake any measure in the nomination of military Instructors or financial adviser without having previously come to a mutual agreement on the subject. Article 3. lu view of the targe development of Japanese commercial and industrial enterprlse Jn Korea, ae well a tbe considerable qumher of Japanese subjects resident In that country, the imperial government will not impede the development of commercial and industrial relations between. Japan and Korea. Behind this thin veil etch party baa striven to do the most of everything to further Us own eud or thwart the aims of the other, and now the crisis is at hand. Russia, safely entrenched by concessions and actual military occupation in Manchuria, needs and propones to have tho same dominion over Korea and the ad Joining. waters: It Is a matter of most vital Interest to Japan, in volving aa it does the control of Korean straits and the Sea of Japan, and ultimately, perhaps, her own national independence,' that Russia should be halted now at the Yala river end that stream made the final limit nf her march southward and Japanward.
