This being the case, captains and officers of different ships appear, to have regarded It as th normal thing that they ahould be so treated. They had almost always treated Japanese imfsengcrs of every . description In that way and thought nothing more aoout It. 1 irtyaeif am convinced that any Intention o deliberate Insult waa far from their minds. They were merely acting ac cotdlng to a well established habit.

Marquis Ito said that lores had been the ally of Japan In the late war. He said It might be the casa that It had not been practicable for Corea to give Japan active assistance In the Held, but It had afforded facilities. What was more, it had Incurred In consequence the hostility of Russia. Japan will stand, therefore, by Corea now and ' help It to govern for Itself. Japan has reserved by treaty the right to- regulate the foreign affairs of Corea, but all the treaties made In the past be tween Corea and other countries will be respected. The only exception Is in the ias of Russia. J Japan Is now starling schools In differ ent psrts of Corea. Disorder and Inse curity are still a good deal prevalent away from he capital, but a number of Jap anese police officers have been lent to the Corean government and are helping to Introduce a more desirable state of affairs. There has been Intrigues be tween Corean officials and foreign powers, and this. Marquis Ito said, cannot be tol erated by Japan. GERMAN COUNT IS IN ASYLUM Effort Belag Made to Aaaul Recent Marriage with Woman f London. BERLIN, July 38. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) A somewhat singular trial, in which on of th most ancient aristocratic families of Germany Is involved, has of late been engaging public attention. Heredi tary .Count Erasmus su Erbarh-Erbach married last year. In London, a pretty girl tamed Dorothea Fischer, daughter of his washerwoman. They had a good time In England, but on their return to Germany Count Erasmus' father and other members of the family decided that, if they could not obtain the annulment of the marriage, th count must be disinherited, and that th millions to which he was entitled must ge to the next nearest of kin. With this purpose In view they procured medical opin ion to the effect that Count Eraamus was i f Infirm mind. Evidently Ihe count was of th sam opinion, for he permitted himself to be re-, moved to a sanatorium In Oberursrl, where h still remains. Countess Dorothea was cashiered with a monthly allowance of etaV This sum she deemed altogether Insufficient, specially as she and her husband had been living at th rat of 160.000 a year, on credit, of rours. Bh therefor brought an action against hr father-in-law to obltg him to raise the allowance to tlH. This was re sisted and th court gav a verdict against her. pointing out that If the marrlag was not annulled she would receive nothing at all. Th next stsg In these curious pro ceedings will b an action for the dissolu tion of the marriage, on the ground that wha It waa contracted Count Erasmus waa nam gonipoa mentis. . LONDON EXPRESS ON BRYAN Comments Favor a Mr t'poa Address Delivered Before the America Society at Metropolis. (By Albert Hedges.) LONDON, July 28. (Special Cable gram to The Bee.) William Jennings Bryan, the "American commoner," whom the English newspapers now delight to refer to as "the American Olsdstone," and who has been- enjoying a reception In Great Britain such as has been accorded to few men, honors paid him being almo royal. Is anxious that It should be r perfectly plain and clear that hie to the United States at the pre' has no local political significant .e is anxious to participate In the com. .g con gressional campaigns all over the coun try, but his Interviews make emphatic the point that he does not Intend to partici pate In any local campaign except In the state of Nebraska. In other words, he will set entirely Independent of any local party troubles in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Missouri and other states In which he Intends to speak. In New Tors, for instance, he has no Intention of taking sides for or against the governorship can vass of W. H. Hearst In Missouri his speerhes, for example, must not be con strued as being for or against any taction In party politics. Commenting on the adress at the Amer ican banquet of William J. Bryan, the London Dally Express said: Tlie name of William J. Brysn Is as sociated in the English mind with the i currency question. Now, the currency question, as it concerns money. "sor- j Oid," and Mr. Hryan, when he ruse to .id- ; dress the American society at Its lndo- i pendenre da., banquet, might have n.-en expected to make one of Those practical I and materialistic sp.-erhes which arc the poet's despair. unii the 1 lu.ip Ines, he places the blessing of languaue. a superficial observation tnts may srein a very literary sort of benefit, while Mr. Bryan may strike some people as a benefactor who would give poor folk a good book to read when they need an ample dinner. Look Intn It more elnseW however, and 1 one will be impressed with tlie .o : plillamhropy exercised ny fie E g lah tongue. What Idea, of liberty, morality and good government It opens up i . po- 1 pies who have drawn their whole store m I instruction Irom totally different sources, i he tongue that Milton spoke is but an organized synonym for freedom, for tlie liberty that begins In discipline, for the victories which arise from self-conquest. It is an Inspiration to the man who speaks and understands It, and M " Hryan in not wrong in making It the guis. as It were, to those goals of a humane civilisa tion whither the white man with his bur den continually marches.

The sensational flight of Princess Doulse of Coburg from the asylum at Elster, Sax ony, where she was Imprisoned for five years by her husband. Prince Philip of Coburg. is recalled by a aordid aspect of what was otherwise a romantic escape. Her lovrr, Mattachich, enlisted the help of a clerk In tho local bank named Frederics Thornmann, and a local Innkeeper named John Weltser, both of whom rendered val uable aid in furthering the flights of the princess. Mattachich promised both of them substantial rewsrds and Princess Ioulse. sfter her escape, renewed these promises In person. When their complicity In the affair became known both suffered. Thornmann lost a good post, thereby sac rificing his prospects for a pension, while Weltser lost his best customers and other wise sustained financial damage. . Two years have elapsed. As the princess shows no signs of redeeming her promises Thorn mann and Weltser have decided to sue her. Thornmann assesses the compensation due hlni at $10,000 and Weltser fixes his claim at 19.000.

CAPETOWN FEARS UPRISING Speech of Boer Leader Said to Cans Much I aeaslaess Among Kaffirs. CAPETOWN. July 2-(Speclal Cable gram to The See.) The Cape Times, In an article entitled "Combustibles." refers to a speech delivered by Mr. Beyers at Pntchefstroom, In which he said that the British "were trying to exterminate the Kaffir." The paper remarks: "If the Impressions which these utter ances are Intended to convey become gen eral among the natives throughout South Africa, and If the resentment and ex asperation they are calculated to engender continue to be recklessly fanned by the Boer leaders In this country snd the radi cal leaders In Great Britain, we shall have a graver reckoning 1han Natal Is now writing on the slate of history, terrible snd deplorable as this Is. The native com munity throughout Booth Africa are watching the event In Natal with the keenest Interest, and their sympathy I naturally goes out to their fellow coun trymen tn trouble. If this sympathy is transformed Into passionate resentment against the government by reckless mis represents! Ions and mis-statements, the ultimate consequences will certsinly b dis astrous."

About the same time ' in the House of Commons Mr. Lonsdale asked whether the Inquiry Into the system of government In Ireland, which was mentioned In the king's speech, was still proceeding, and whether and proposals had yet been formulated with a view to the introduction of a bill next session to constitute a representative body In Dublin for the control of Irish finances and the performance of such legislative functions as msy be delegated to It. The prime minister said Mr. Lonsdale need not be afraid that the question was escaping the government's attention. The subject was under the consideration of the government, but he was not tn a position to make any statement. , Meanwhile home rule for Ireland appears about as far removed as ever.

It Is no uncommon sight to see many old men who have been harvesting In England for twenty years or more, and some of them brought their sons and grand sons. There were also many women among the arrivals, whose, help will be welcomed in the dairies and In caring fog the men.

CONSTANTINOPLE. July M.-(8pecal Cablegram to The Bee.)-The Influx of Jews Into Paleetfr.e during the Jast few months has . V.rfckb!e, " Bom w'ect'g ago .60ut.OOFJW1fifnY-nen.," migrants from Russia and the Balkan states landed at Jaffa., They are settling In the plain of Sharon, round the towns of Ramlch and Lydda, and in other Jewish colonies along the sea coast. A few days ago some Jewish financiers made a trip to the region east of the Jor dan. In the direction of Kerak. They saw the land and were highly satisfied with Its fertility and the nature of Its soil. They are willing to colonize the district, but are rather suspicious of the neighboring Be douin tribes, who are averse to any per manent settlement being effected In their midst. It is believed that the Jews are in com munication with the government on the subject, and should the latter give them sufficient guarantee of protection against the raids of their neighbors the sale of large tracts will soon be completed. It Is a noteworthy fact that some of the most fertile districts of Palestine are pos sessed by Jewish colonists. The Jews are repossessing the land by degrees, and should this quick rate of possession con tinue the whole country will In a few years belong entirely to them.

"But," said the Interviewer, "you have not mentioned Mr. Hearst, who Is discussed every day as a candidate." Hearst an Independent. "The last utterance of Mr. Hearst I hava read." said the Judge, "was to the effect that he Intended to accept the nomlna tlon of the Independence league. He stated in an interview in the Brooklyn Eagle of June 12: 'If I am nominated by the Independent party it will be on a plat form that expresses the principles I be lieve and I will make the campaign on that platform and no other consideration will enter Into the matter. There will be no deal or bargain made with the leaders of any political machine, but everyone en dorsing the sentiments of the Independence party will be Invited to support its candl dates.' That language Is unambiguous and announces clearly his Intention to be a candidate on the platform only of the Independence league." Democrats Sot Pnallanlmona.

"While I know," Mr. Parker replied, "that such assertions are constantly made and some delegates to the democratic convention favorable to Mr. Hearst have been chosen, It would seem as If all this should .be credited to over-zealous friends, for certainly Mr. Hearst Is too tihrewd a man to believe It possible that a demo cratic convention will ever be made up of delegates so absolutely pusllanlmoua as to surrender to one demanding that the party deliver up to him the honor and power he covets or Is suffered to get."

July 2S.-The switch board of tho Central Telegraph station In St. Petersburg was burned out today, de stroying nil t'omunlratlon with the prov ince. While there la a suspicion that the "accident" was arranged by revolutionists, no evidence to support It can be found, and the telegraph department authorities are apparently satisfied with the explanation of the employes.
