In an Interview upon the subject of
Core recently. 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

and proposals had yet been formulated with
a view to the introduction of a bill next

In Dublin for the control of Irish finances
and the performance of such legislative

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

migrants from Russia and the Balkan

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

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

Mr Parker said that while, with possibly
two exceptions, none of these men was a

of them would refuse to serve If called
upon. "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

platform and no other consideration will
enter Into the matter. There will be no
deal or bargain made with the leaders of

announces clearly his Intention to be a

Independence league."

"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

of delegates so absolutely pusllanlmoua as
to surrender to one demanding that the

ST. rETERBRURO. 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. However, the public Is
cut off from telegraph communication with
the Interior for some time, but the gov
ernment retains the possibility of com
municstlng with the provincial authorities
over the railroad wires. Cable communi
cation Is not Interrupted.
New obstarlea have been encountered by
rremler Stolypln In his efforts to secur
the services In a reorganized cabinet of
men of standing in Russia outside of off),
cial life. The conditions laid down by M.
Ouchkoff and Prince Lvoff are understood
to have been rejected and they have de1
nltely refused to enter the ministry. This
presages the practical shipwreck of the en
tire schema, atnee without the participation
of the antf-bureaucracy elements It would
be difficult to convince even the conserva
tives and the liberals of the sincerity of
the government's promises.
Stol pin's Liberal Promises.
Meanwhile M. Btolypln Is energetically
end continually trying to persuade the
country that his policy of "strong-handed
reform" doea not Involve reaction. He has
announded In the provinces that the "pale''
will be granted to semstvo Institutions and
denies that the government Intends to In
terfere with the legal electoral campaigns
of the various parties, in virtue of which
he haa authorized the holding of a national
congress of constitutional democrats at
Moscow. He has Instructed the police of
St. Petersburg not to Interfere with th
Jewish members of th outlawed Parlia
ment who, under the law, when they ceased
to enjoy the Immunity entailed by their
membership of Parliament, forfeited th
right to remain In the capital mor than
twenty-four hours.
Such half way deeds of liberalism, how
ever, are scorned by tha Rer, Wttlch tu
day says that the situation Is no different
from what It Was under Count W'ltte, when
the latter, as premier, waa "filling th
world with liberal declarations whll Me
wicked partner, Durnovo, was putting on
the screws again."
The Rech adds: "W hear the voice nf
Jacob, but we feel the hand' of Esau."
Five additional members of th council of
the empire, MM. Shlshkoff, Verkowsky,
Lappodunllevsky, Berelcshlne and Vrnad-
sky, have formally resigned. They have
signed an open letter, setting forth that
the retention of their mandates would bo
equivalent to acquiescing In the dissolution
of Parliament and tho restoration of
bureaucrat regime, enabling It to pass th
budget of 1907 without the approval of th
representatives of the people.
The Rech says that In spit of his ad
vanced age, M. Pokedonostseff, formerly
procurator general of the holy synod, has
the dominant Influence over the emperor.
M. 8edlnlkoff, the radical Coesack mem
ber of the outlawed lower house of Parlia
ment who waa arrested and beaten whll
In the hands of the police July 4, which
caused a stormy scene In the house the
next day, was today fined 0 for carry
ing a revolver which waa found on him
when arrested.
Yesterday's Improvement on the Bours
here was not sustained today, a flood of
offerings on the advance resulting In a
reaction In the whole list, but prices at
the closo were firm.
Two Trains Robbed In Poland.
WARSAW, July :. Two trains robberies
were committed In Russian Poland today.
one of them I faulting lit a considerable Ion
of life. A train from the frontier ststlon.
Herby, bound for Czenstochowa was carry
ing money received from the customs house
to the branch of the Imperial bank, under
protection of seven frontier guardsmen.
General Zukat, chief of the frontier guard,
General Welter.ring and Captain La gum a.
were paasenger. Fifteen persons boarded
the train at a way station. They evi
dently had been waiting for It, and mad
an attack on the guardsmen, who were re
inforced by the officer named. A regular
skirmish followed In which the two gen
erals, two officials, five soldiers and on
robber were killed and Colonel Brzexlckl
and one rohber wounded. The wounded and
dead were taken to Czenstochowa. The
robbers escaped, taking $8,000 and the arms
of those who had attempted to defend the
train against robbery.
The second robbery was committed this
evening on the Warsaw-Vienna railway,
six miles from Waraaw. While the train
was under way unknown persons pulled
the danger signal, causing It to stop. Rob
bers, who were aboard. Jumped out and
seized the locomotive and detached th
mall car front the train and ran It down
the line. They secured tTi.SnO of govern
ment money. The robbers evidently were
fully Informed that the train had the money
on board. They carried red flags and ar
supposed to be members of the Polish
sorlsllst party. The train was without a
guard, and hence there was no fighting
and no castialltles. Efforts to capture Ihe
rnbliers failed.
The rnhher a ho lies wamnded at Czen
stochowa is In a serious condition. He re
fuses to give anv information whatsoever
concerning his accomplice.
Public disorder is growing dally through
Russian PoWnd.
Today a panic occurred In a public park
here. Many shots were fired and on per
son was killed and four Were wounded.
It Is believed to have bee n an ait. nipt
