situation Til which has turned the eyes of the world upon Korea was bound to come sooner or later Like the signpost shown In the illus tration at the be ginning of this ar ticle Korea is very much out of date Signposts such as that portrayed in the picture are common features of the landscape In Korea and there are multitudes of other things which look strange to a visitor from America Their quaintness in the eyes of those accustomed to up to date ways consists in the fact that they are from two to three thousand years behind the times It was natural enough that the con querors of Russia should insist on some changes in the country which had come within their sphere of in fluence It was tho action of tho ex emperor Yi Hiung in sending a derogation to The Hague peace conference just as if Korea had been a sovereign power and in instructing the delegates to make a protest there against Japanese pretensions in Korea that brought about the crisis in the affairs of the little empire Japan regarded this ac tion as inconsistent with the status of Korea as a Japanese protectorate The dispatch of Viscount llayashi to Seoul quickly followed and the crisis was precipitated resulting in the abdication of Emperor Hi Yiung and the adop tion of a new treaty between Japan and Korea under which the Japanese resident general Marquis Ito as the administrative agent of Viscount Haya shi became virtually ruler of the coun try Viscount Tadasu llayashi and Marquis Ito are the authors of the new treaty Viscount llayashi Is Jap anese minister of foreign affairs He is perhaps the foremost diplomat of his nation It was he who negotiated GENERAL- HASEGAWA KOREAN BOYS AT SCHOOL the Anglo Japanese treaty of alliance one of the most important diplomatic agreements of modern times The vis count was Japanese minister at the court of St James at the time lie was recalled from England to take the foreign affairs portfolio when the present cabinet headed by Marquis Saionji took office The viscount was born in 1S50 near Tokyo and he op posed the mikado in the struggle be tween the emperor and the shogunate After the unification of the empire he was sent to England to study polit ical science and familiarize himself with Anglo Saxon civilization He rose in the service of the government until in 1S95 he was made a baron for his part in the revision of the treaties with western powers He was minister to China and afterward to Russia and in 1S99 was transferred to London lieutenant General LTasegawi who is in command of the Japanese troops in Korea and virtually in control of all armed forces in the country was prominent In the war against Russia Lie was then m command of the imperial guards di vision in the op erations of General Kurokis army in Manchuria According to tra dition the founder of Korean nation ality was the Chi nese noble Ki tse who is said to have left China with 5000 followers in 1122 B C The au thentic history of discount hayashi the country dates from its annexation to China In 10S B C It split into three princedoms and about 9G0 A- D that of Koryu came to the front It recast the administration tupon the Chinese model The present dynasty dates from 1392 It was in part to prevent Korea from falling into the hands of Russia that Japan went to irar with that power Everything in the Hermit Nation is antiquated but the old conditions are already
