division of. responsibilty „Russia, took
the larger share, assuming direction
• ot foreign affairs, the army and the
pence, while japan direeted. the less
intexprtant department of internal ad-
ministration, control at the finances
• being left in charge of a British agent,
Mr. MeLeany Brown. Ostensibly the
anraingetment was intended to parti-
ally compensate japan for the loss of
,the fruits a her victory over China,
ner providing for tbe maintenance of
ICorea. as an independent bufferjstate
between the ieland empire and that
portion of Neirtle China certain in
time to become Russian. 'It was, in
effech, a pledge of abstention on the
part of Russia, from in:terference in
Koren a, pcient upoz1 whieh japan is na-
turally •very se,nsitive, though the
larger share of oostrol assumed by the
northern power under the treaty left
• little doubt of the ultimate outcome.
aaptuniese influence in the kingdom' has
steadily diminished while that of Rus-
sia, has increased, until a climax has
been, reached in the recent: summary
ditspla.cement by Russia of the British
financian agertt at Beatel, and the, ape
poin,tmeree in his stead of a Russian
anent. This =teen was, it is said, tak-
en without notice to. either Japan or
Greet Britain, and despite the opposi-
tion of the Korean authorities, whose
tontra,ct with Mr. Brown had. not ex-
pired; 8414 its effect will be, with the
Russian seizure of Kin-Gbau, north of
Dort Arthur, to give Russia. control
/roan the eastern, shore of the gu:lf of
,Pechili to the open Pacific.
• Moreeeve,r, as a flagrant violation of
the treaty maintaining the independ-
ence of Korea, it roust be a. direct
ehallenge to Japan, and one hardly less
lirect to Great Britain, and has, it is
reported, been met by the letter by the
rielivery of al protest to the'/K'orea.n
government, backed by the 33rittsh
" warships, with the whole Japanese
fleet within cell. If this story is cor-
e mot, and it hs in its support the Rus -
den demand for the dismissal of all
the foreign civil and military officers
new in the Chinese seryice and the
eppointment of Russians in their place,
es a part of the programme of the Bus-
sianization of •that empire, a conflict
some sort in. the. Far East cannot
eang be deferred. For the reported
fiction of England, and Japan indicates
some agreement, however informal, to
rooperate, and with Japan bitterly op-
'meI1 to the, Russian occupation of
Port Arthur and to Russian control
et Korea, assurance!. of England's sup-
port would suffice to insure aggres-

MURDER IN CROW'S NEST PASS.
Rancher Attacked by Navvies Tiles as the
Result or injuries.
Information has reached Calgary
that what at present seems to have
been a brulal murder was committed
last week at a place called the Loop,
.
in the Crow's Nest pass, the victim
being a rancher named George Smythe
who resided neer Garttett's ranch, in
tbe Pineher Creek disteict. It appears
that Smythe had been employed for
some time freighting on the railway,
and was travelling eastward, when
some men employed on the Birming-
ham contract asked him to give them
a ride. He declined, and was terribly
beaten. In a few hours afterwards he
died of the injuries he had received.
The linounted. Police at Crow's Nest
lake at once started. in pursuit, and
captured one of the men on the road,
and the other three shortly afterwards,
concealed in the timber near Birming-
haan's camp. All of them were taken:
to the Mounted. Police post at the
Crows Nest headquarters in Alberta.

The vessel's cargo, which was nearly
all on board, was badly damaged by
smoke, fire, and water, the loss being
placed at fully 00,000, although it will
have to be overeauled before the exact
extent •of the damage can be ascer-
tained. The da,mage to the vessel it-
self will be relight. A survey will be

Ire the meanwhile, Prince Henry of
Orleans is fitting out at Marseilles,
and evidently with the approval of the
Government, an armed expedttion to
subdue the equatorial provinces, which
the Negus presented, claiming they be-
longed to Abyssinia in prehistorio

are identical with those Great Britain
ie seeking to restore to Egypt, So
perhaps, there is some truth in the
story that the .aotierity of the Relish

Abyssinian troops have reaqhed Fasho-

VERY RICH QUARTZ.
nen+
It fs Sugar Quarts and Is Fairly Studded
With Nuggets,
The richest gold quartz yet brought
from the Klondyke was exhibited at
Seattle, Wash., on Friday, to well-
known mining men. It is sugar
quartz, almost pure white, and easily
pulverized. The pieces were from two
to three inches in thickness, with nug-
gets of various sizes embedded in the
quartz. Tbe discoverer represented
that he had found two ledges two feet
wide each lying parallel within a few
feet of one another, and, also a ledge
30 feet wide, all three being white
quartz, the larger one not showing free
gold, but being fairly well mineralized,
while the, smaller ones are alive with
precious metal in the form of nuggets
from. the size of a, wheat grain to an
ounce in weight. In expressing his
opinion of it, Major Garrard, for-
merly superintendent of .the Casson
Mint, said:—
"This is undoubtedly the true mother
lode of a great placer country, and on
the lower -side, where -disintegration
has taken 'place. the find will be im-
aro.eosely rich. I should judge the spe-
cimen exhibited will goe$300,000 to tbe
ton at least, and probably higher."
The rush to Skaguay and Dyes, by
Klondykers has become so great that
many passengers are taking tbe Juneau
steamers and running the chances of
getting from that point to Chilcoot and
Inbite passes in smaller vessels. Every
steamer leaving Seattle in 'the next
two weeks has all its passenger lists
filled.
THE QUEEN PAYS A FINE.

A tiespaten from London says
There has been much good-natured

tary of the United States Embassy, for
"diplomatic exemption," in the case of
his son, Mr. :T. E. White, and Mr. Spen-
cer Eddy, e,ecreterey to Colonel John
Hay, the United States Ambassador,
who were charged before the Maiden-
head County Court with riding their
bicycles on sidewalks. The papers have
pointed out that a few days ago a
man who was leading an unmuzzled
dog helonging to the Queen across
Windsor bridge was summoned for so
doing, and claimed exemption. But
the magistrate said,:—"The bite of a
Queen's dog is equally dang,erous with
the nog of another. The Queen must
pay a fine of five shillings." The Queen
