The officials who pre pared it nre disgraced mid their ca reers ruined. From many of the l''. Koreans on trial at Seoul, charged with compli city in the plot to nssiissinnte Count Terauelii. Japanese governor general and regain Korea's independence, the police had extorted confessions that the missionaries sympathized with and aided the conspiracy. Hut of ficialdom made the mistake of ar ranging for a public trial, hoping to convince the world tlmt eeiythiug was fair mid ulmve board. Ac soon us they ninio into open court, counting on the strength of foreign public opinion to saw them from the Japanese vengeance, the prisoners niiilormly repudiated these confessions, declaring thev made. them under torture or threats of tor ture. The result hit- Wen not only to e- poso Japanese police methods, but to frustrate the plot against the mis sionaries, mid to render it almost im possible to form a new plot. The Mi kado's advisers think western teach ings, such as the Koreans got from the missionaries, nre uiitagomtie to an autocratic government, ami they are afraid of them.

Bailey Insisted that Taft could not even have read the record in the Lorlmer case when he wrote to Roosevelt about It, condemlng the1 Illinois senator, because It was not printed. "Has the senate reached such a point or degradation," the Texan resumed, "that tho president must summon senators to the white house and urge them to purify this body? 1 1 that the president' Idea of de cency?" The speaker denounced Taft's ref erence to "Senate clubdom" as a "slander." "When tho president penned the line that I was determined to keep the senator from Illinois hero, he penned a malicious and Infamous fnlsehoodr-and no-ono knows that better than hlmseir," Bailey shouted, "ir what the ex-presldent ays about the president is true, it might furnish tho basis or impeachment or one and disqualifying or tho other from ever again holding office. Andrew John son was impeached for a less serious oirense than that committed by the president In writing this letter."
