there are large classes of cases where

Tokio, Aug. 29. Independent Ko
rea today became the kingdom of
Cho-Sen. Without an outward hitch
the Hermit Kingdom was annexed to
Japan. In unofficial circles come
rumors of discontent and threats of
revolt in Seoul and the capitol. The
annexation was made against the will
of the Koreans, after Japanese colo
nists had been poured into Korea by
the thousands and the people sub
dued by the soldiery. It was a gigan
tic game of freezeout with Japan
dealing; Russia playing with her and
China protesting, but too weakly.
Japanese statesmen nave announced
that Korean treaties will be recog
nized for the -time. This probably is
done to appease the United States,
whose citizens enjoy many privileges
under the Korean treaties not allow
ed by the Japanese treaties.
It is asknowledged here that Rus
sia was acquainted with every detail
of Japan's plans regarding Korea at
the time ot the Russo-Japanese con
vention concerning the status quo in
Manchuria. Tokio newspapers got
out extra editions today and the gen
eral tone of the press is that Korea
had fulfilled her destiny as a nation
and that Japan Is ready to crush out
any revolt on the one hand or aid fi
nancially and commercially the Ko
reans with the other. The Japanese
policy of meeting force with impassive
persistence was neuer better shown.
NEW SEWER INSTALLED

With the completion of the sewr
and the adequate water supply, both
service and drinking, the state fair
grounds are put in the best sanitary

the state officials' intention of making

health standpoint. The fair opens
the second week of next month, Sep
