Rebellion Against Japanese Rule Qoes
Steadily Forward.
' Kobe. Jinan. Nov. fi.-t-Meairer news
from Cores is to the effect thatthe ur-
rising itarted by the natives as a pro
test agalnat the occupation of the
klnsdom bv Japan, while active la
spots, ta other places baa quieted down
through the efficient service of the
Jspaneee soldiers. .
This is taken here to mean that the
Japanese censor Is busy, for it Is well
known that the Koreans; animated by
equally as great love of country as
tbair Invaders, will never resign tbenv
eelroe to be governed by the hated
Japanese until they are completely
brought nnder subjection.
A correspondent of the. Japan Chron
icle writes that the resistance offered"
to the reforms desired to be brought
abcot by the stronger nation la mors
a matter of misunderstanding than
anything else.
The Coreon officials, it Is eaid, know
full well what Japan is trying to do.
but the soldiers sent to occupy the land
are responsible for the hostile feeling
that has arisen. The coolie class sees
the havoc wrought by the military
force, the plundered stores, the out
raged women, the ill treatment' afford
ed the men, and does not know what ia
behind all this.
The poorer classes are unaware that
the good of their land ia what Japan is
seeking. They look upon the occupa
tion merely as a pretext to gain pos
sessioo of the country, and their blood
boils and they rise up against the in
vaders.
Incidental to the improvement of
conditions in the empire may come an
nexation to Japan. In some circles
this ii felt to be the ultimate object
Whether that be true or not the fact
remains that Japan has already worked
numerous and ..appreciable reforms
among the Core ana. . .

S6OO.OO0 HIS LOOT.
Warrinor Lost AH in Speculation and
Blackmail.
Cincinnati, Nov. 8. An official of
the Big Four railroad stated tonight
that the defalcations for which ex
Treasurer Charles L. Warrinor has
beao arrested would be far in excess of
1100,000. According to bis estimate,
tt will reach nearly 1500,000.
Eighty thousand dollar ia said to
have been paid in blackmail. Two
women and a man are mentioned ea the
blackmailers. . Detectives are shadow
ing one of the women, wbo lives in
Cincinnati, bat it m stated that the
railroad company doss not Intend to
have bar arrested, bat will try to get
her as a witness for the state. '
Warrinor, who is charged with ap
propriating $64,500, was released from
custody late today on a bond of 120,
000. During the day Warrinor made a re
markable change of front. 'In the af
ternoon ho gave out a statement admit
ting has responsibility for tha short
age, but declaring there ware others
in it. Later he changed tactics and
declared that be
admitted nothing J
This later declaration is taken to mean
that bo iotends to force his alleged
partners In guilt into the open.
The $64,600 in the warrant for War-
riner's arrest represents the present
amount owing to the railroad company
and not the entire amount of the sbort-
sge.-
The balance, according to the state
ment of Genersl Counsel Hsckney, has
been covered by property that Warri
nor has turned over to the company.
