POWER BEHIND THE CABINET
Japanese Statesman Are Shaping
Future of Korean Government
by Using the Native Cabi
net at Will.
The Korean cabinet's report to
Marquis Ito of the former emperor's
new pledge of abdication, in form posi
tive and final, was published July 23.
This reversed the widespread impres
sion that the first instance was not
one of abdication but of "Imperial
contortion." Ito's subservient cabinet,
In an all-night engagement with the
former emperor, wrung from him the
verbal admission of the validity of his
casual abdication and secured his sig
nature to a classification proclamation
to. the people; also an acknowledge
ment of the mikado's congratulations
to him as emperor de facto, which
acknowledgement had been resisted by
the deposed ruler during the day.
The working members of the cab
inet who enjoy Ito's protection and
patronage are passing in and out of
the palace with a guard exclusively
Japanese. The work of the cabinet
will not be finished until the ex-emperor
Is exiled from Seoul. This, or the
consummation of some similar tragedy
will be a landmark in Korean his
tory.
Viscount Hayashi, the foreign min
ister of Japan, whose presence in
Korea at this time supports Ito In an
interview in the administration's
paper, is understood to suggest
council of state with power to act for
the elimination of Interference by the
throne.
ine censorship proclaimed over
Japanese press correspondence is de
scribed as precautionary on account
of the bitterness displayed toward
Ito's conservative course In reshaping
the destinies of Korea. The situation
in the capital Is promising, especially
In consideration of the fact that the
stores of ammunition possessed by dls-
affected Korean troops are exeremely
small. Marquis Ito expects valuable
reinforcements of bluejackets from
Japanese warships for emergency use.

EMPEROR QUITS
THE RULER OF KOREA GIVES UP
HIS THRONE.
JAPAN'S GRASP IS SECURE
Natives Show Sympathy for Deposed
Monarch, But Realize Useless
ness of Resistance No Re
volt Anticipated.
The emporer of Korea has abdicated
the throne.
A crowd of 5,000 Koreans had to
be beaten back from the palace gates.
During the audience with the cabinet
when the emperor acquiesced to the
demand for abdication, a number of
students attempted to present a peti
tion to the emperor, but the police
prevented them from doing so, driv
ing them back east of the palace.
Chief 'of Police Maruyama distributed
carbines to the palace police, butthe
crowd continued to increase, remain
ing orderly, however. The ceremony
of transferring the Imperial seal- to
the crown prince was elaborate.
Some shops closed because of the
sympathy of their proprietors with the
emperor and the streets around the
palace were filled with people.
The Japanese papers have published
some sensational rumors, but there is
no indication of a revolt. The Korean
Official Gazette, circulating on the
streets, gave the first official an
nouncement of the abdication which
was signed by the emperor and the
ministers in favor of the crown
prince.
At the Japanese residency Marquis
Ito and Viscount Hayashi in answer
to an inquiry of the correspondent of
the Associated Press regarding the ef
fect of the emperor's action, its im
portance in affecting a settlement of
the whole Japanese-Korean situation
and whether or not it was in accord
ance with the plans of Japan, said
they were not prepared at the present
time to make a statement.

fact in connection with organized la
bor is the accession to its ranks of

concessions which union labor has ob
tained from the forces' controlling our
industrial - development.- Arbitration
is constantly gaining ground in the

most satisfactory method of settling
differences between employer and em

TYRUS COBB AMONG LEADERS
Detroit Lays Great Stock in Player
Who Is Hailed as One of Best Nat
ural Hitters in Game To-Day
' O'Neill Said to Be Best Sprinter in
American Association.
Who is. the fastest ball player in the
country?
In the American league many differ
ent teams claim the fastest man in
the country. In- St. Louis they are
spreading' pages of copy now on the
work of Harry Niles, league leader at
bat. They claim that this youngster
is not only the fastest runner, but the
best batter, etc.
Fielder Jones, of the world's cham
pions, maintains that Pat Dougherty
is the fastest runner in the league.
Down in little old New York they
point to Danny Hoffman as the one
ten-second man of the league.
Harry Bay won the title of "Deer- -foot"
by his , speed some " time ago,(
but Bay is not the man he once was,;
through injuries. Still, he is still there
to a considerable extent.
In the National they say Maloney,
of Brooklyn, is the fastest, and others
point to Magee, of Philadelphia.
But around the circuit there is a
growing belief that there is a newer
and faster man coming to the front,,
one whose style of play is peculiar to
himself, and whose work, given, fair;
recognition last season, will stamp
him as one of the greatest natural ball
players in the business before .the
year is out'1-1. That's Tyriu Cobb.
Cobb, like Harry Niles, is not a fin
ished ball player. But if is interesting
to contemplate just what he will be
when he is thoroughly seasoned, when,
he can do what he can now. Like
Niles, he is not yet an expert on the
bases. - '. "' 'i '
Cobb's really remarkable speed tin
going down to first base and inr going,
from first to third on sacrifice bits
every time he got the opportunity,
gave the fans the idea that it was bis
speed that carried him through. .
"Where other men would get thrown,
out Cobb gets there because of his
3peed," they said. , . '
They had this idea because of Ty'tf
method of batting. He bandies ' bis
stick like a toy. There is no exer
tion seemingly- when be swings. He .
just seems to meet the ball as though .
It were nothing at all. But it goes.
Wben it's to be hit out, he is usually,
there with a long drive. But he also
likes to chop down on them, sending
the ball spinning in several different
directions at once, jarring the whole
infield. '
Tyrus. does not look like a slugger.
There is not great weight in those
shoulders to lay -against a ball. Yet
he is fast being hailed as one of the
best natural hitters in baseball.
There are a great many good ball
players who figure out what to do and
then do it. Cobb seems to play purely,
by Instinct. He does things first and
then thinks afterward. He makes mis
takes sometimes, but they are only
made in an effort to pull of some dar
ing play.
Last year he could not field very
good. This year he has been liikder
the constant care of big Sam Craw
ford, and his work has shown great
improvement. t
.' Bay, Niles, Hoffman, Dougherty and
other fast men have been seen here
beating out bunts and scratch hits.
Have any of them ever shown greater
speed or flashier work on the bases
than Cobb?
Just nvho is the fastest actual' run
ner in baseball it will never be. set
tled probably, but when it comes to '
Just making . claims Detroit is there
strong with the' Georgian as the rep
resentative. ' -
In the American association there
are number of men who get down
to first in close to record time. Prob
ably the swiftest of the bunch is Tip (
O'Neill, the former Milwaukee player,
who is. with Minneapolis this year,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel.. Tip
gets off like a shot, but his greatest
speed is made' In the last 30 feet. An
other fast man to first is Williams, ot
Indianapolis, although he is not as
fast as O'Neill. Josh Clarke and Armr
bruster, of Toledo, get down to first
in fast time, as does George McBride,
ot Kansas City. The fastest man
ion the Milwaukee team is Danny: '
Green. Clark and Dougherty also get
to first in quick time.
