A Hot Time at Conference While Japanese Troops Demonstrated in Front of Old Palace. Corea to be Governed by Japanese Administra- tor Under the Emperor, Seoul, Nov, 18.--De1ayed.---The cote tforenee of nearly a week between the sJapaneee envoys headed by Marquis Ito, -and, the Oorettu Cabinet, ended yesterday mitel was followed early this morning by 'a nine hours' sitting at the palace with the Emperor. At the beginning of to -day's seesion, Baron Hayashi declared his determiutt- tion not to withdraw until the four de- mands made by Marquis Ito were signed The suspense was ended at 11.30 0' - dock this morning when the Cabinet, with the exception of the Minister of :Agriculture and Minister of Foreign Af- lairs Pakehisun having yielded, sent for abe Imperial seals and signed the desired -agreement. The four Japanese demands -were as follows: 1. -The appointment of a Japanese ad- ministrator to govern Corea, under the Emperor. 2. -Tho appointment of Japanese ad- ministrators at all treaty ports. 3, -The transfer of Osman diplomatic affairs to 'Tokio. 4. -No arrangements to be made with other powers without the consent of Japan. Three thousand Japanese soldiers maintained a demonstration all easter- 'day on the Esplanade before the old palace. Japanese troops patrolled the ;streets all night. The Emperor's palace was also surrounded by troops and Jap- anese soldiers and police were lodged in the grounds of the palace. Minister Pakchistm and the Minister of Agricul- ture continue to hold out with the Em- peror against the action of the Japanese. Minister Pakaehistm in leading tho opposition against the signiug of the 'demands of Marquis Ito, adjured the Em- peror with the most powerful argument possible to a superstitious, benighted sovereign, namely, that his conssn't would affront and outrage all the spirits of his Imperial anees.tors After the refusal of the Emperor to return the first visit of Marquis Ito, the Marquis remained in the background. The conference between Baron Payashi and the Cowan Cabinet which led to an agreement began yesterday morning at the Japanese legislation and was so vio- lent as to attract attention on adjacent Muses. It resulted in Pakehissin and the Illinister of Agriculture dramatically withdrawing to the palace, where they ;secluded themselves with the Einepron The Emperorthen ordered that the Ministers who consented to the Japan- ese demands be assassinated. After the signatures and settle were attached, . the Japanese military paraded through the city. Baron Hayashi after securing the con- sent of the majority of the Cabluet, went front the delegation to tho palace, where ILO attempted to convince the Emperor and'the two remaining Ministers of the justice of Me mission, but failed. He then secured the seals through thO other Ministers. • The Emperor took alarm at the con - touts and tone of Marquis lto's creden- tials when they were presented to him on the 10th instant, the day after ths arrival of the Marquis. His alarm was increased because the Japanese sought to have the Marquis occupy the Emperor': audience chambers, and there receive a return visit from the Emperor, who re- sisted, feigning sickness. It required five days to arrange an interview regarding the mission of Marquis Ito; and then a confidential interview WIIS had. at which the Emperor referred. the entire matter to his Cabinet. s It is said among diplomats that the Cereals Ministry has steadily misman- aged this final event in subverting Cor - eau severeignty which was an inevitable sequel to the protocols of February and of September, 1904, It is said that, though entitled by treaty to a dignified appeal to the good offices of America and other powers to assist in the rectification ef alleged Jav- anese injustices, the Ministers preferred fruitless mulerhand imam. It is Paid at the present moment the throne has three secret agents abroad for the pur- pose of seeming intervention. One of them is in China, the second, 'Yi Yonik, ia in France, and Mr. Hurlgurn is now in America with $40,000. A. conflict between civil and military authorities is now expected and Minister Hayashi bus already sent a strong cir- cular to all japaneso coneuls in Corea to administer justice impartially. After the presentation of the alikado's gift to the court, it is reported that sub- stantial stuns of money were. used. to satisfy the Ministers who consented to the Japanese demands. About 30,000 Jap- anese soldiers, billeted on tho people, or in barracks, are at the service of the Japanese, but no disturbances are ex- pected: Foreign officials took no part in the foregoing events, though last midnight, when an alarm was spread that the Japanese might use force, it was believed that the American . legation 'adjoining the palace might become a, temporary refuge for the Emperor. The court and Cabinet are still closely guarded and protected. PARKHURST BELIEVES N DAMNATION. Declares That a Man Who Does Not Accept the Moral Law Should be Damned. 4-44-11±4-4-+-4 4-4-4. 80-+-+-+4--04 4.4-4-44.4-4.+4-4-4-4-4 $-4-+G4-+ New York, Nov. 20.- Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, in the Manion Avenue Pres- byterian Church, last night told his congregation that he believed in damna- tion. "The apparent cruelties atributed to God," he said, "are not a cir- cumstance to the cruelties in nature. Natural laws pay no more attention to man than to a dog. Saints as well as inners were burned in the Windsor Hotel fire and the Slocum disaster. If God burns up a body, He will burn up a soul that gets in the way of His moral laws. The love of God in i755 destroyed so,000 persons in the Lisbon earthquake. He does not suspend physical laws to save saints. If a man will accept God's moral laws then I should say that God would damn him, and I further say that God ought to damn him." THE GOOSE STEP. PLANS FOR MILITARY INSTRUC- TION OF THE SCHOOL BOYS. Ottatva, Ont., Nov. 20. -(Special.) The Ministers of Education for the Val' - bus Provinces wil be irtviteil within a very short titne to come to Ottawa and discuss the introduction of some sett of a system of military instruction for the schools. Since Sir Frederick Bor- den announced his intention of enceur- aging military training for students inti- mations from practically all the Pro- vinces have been received endorsing Inc suggestion. It would not do to ask tlte Provinces to attend a conference unless the ekes- ernment had a scheme for disc:beam. One is now being formulated by the Mita tary Council. Though nothuig has yet been decided upon, it is probable Par- liaineitt will be asked at the coming so•t. sion to sanction the fin -nation of the permanent corps of military instruatiens for the schools. The instructions given are not likely to go beyond shnple editing up exercises, and in some cases target practice. s • HOLLAND AS A REPUBLIC? _ • • if 'Om is Childless rive Years After Marriage.

New York, .Nov. I0. -The Sun pub- lishes the following cable from •Lon- don: The work of relaying the found- ations of the Campanile at Venice:which was begun in April, 1903, has been com- pleted practically, and the rebuilding of . the famous tower itself will probably be started in January. The old foundations, which architects and antiquarians believe were those of the ancient defence tower, andwere never intended to carry a tower or euch lieleit as the Campanile, Were marvel- lously preserved, and after is warm dis- cussion it ii -as decided to reutilize them. As no modern architect coulki think of rearing the Campanile on such a restrict- ed base it was resolved to enlarge it ao as to distribute the pressure on a wide area. Accordingly it ditch twelve. feet wide was dug around the old foundations and 3,070 newly cut spites of larehwood, averaging thirteen feet long, were driven home almost to the point of absolute resistance. They are calculated to have a tarrying power of a total of 00,000 ions. The weight of the tower is cal- culated at 20,000 tons. CLOTHING CAUGHT FIRE.
