Seoul. Corea, July 10. Although

jeace congress at the Hague, Marquis
to flails it impossible to charge bud

0 demolish the carefully nursed
Iction that the existing arrangement

if the Corean ruler.
Thorough Investigation leads to
he conviction that annexation is to
te the ultimate fate of Corea. Whe
.ber It will be through a peaceful
jollcy or by the "Iron hand" Is yet
a be determined. The success of
he Ito policy calls for acquiescence
md co-operation from the Emperor
ind his people, which Is by no means
yet attained.
Marquis Ito is honestly solicitous
jC the welfare of the Coreans and Is
irorklug to that end, but the pre
vailing Japanese sentiment demands
h treatment of the Coreans as a
'.ubject people and the exploitation
if the country for the benefit of the
Japanese.
Conditions Are Improving.
Whle there are still many com
ilalnts of outrages of various kinds
in the Coreans by Individual Jap
meee, conditions are undoubtedly
nuch better than formerly, the Jap
anese authorities having deported
oany offenders. The missionaries
re generally friendly to tho Janan
e and confident of the willingness
t the Marquis Ito to restrain his
countrymen and redress wrongs.
Material undertakings inaugurated
r the Japanese officials will Insure
aany greatly needed improvements,

Erection run as high as twenty mill

STATEMENT BY ROCKEFELLER.
Downfall of Oil Trust Would lie a
Disaster, He Hays.
Chicago July 10. a statement in
defense of the Standard Oil Company
was given out after tho hearing be
fore J tid pa Lnndls. It wag signed
by John D. Rockefeller and John D.
Archbold. It reads:
"Since the enactment of tho Inter.
State Commerce law In 1887 the
Standard Oil Company has most care,
fully observed Its provisions and In
no case hns willfully violated the law.
It welcomed the passage of the law,
and the principal of equity which
wus embodied in It.
"The old system of special rates
and rebntes was obnoxious, and was
never a source of profit to the com
pany. The net rate paid for freight
was always used ns a basis for the
selling price In the markets, and the
consumer uniformly had the benefit
of It. Moreover, every shipper could
secure such special rates, and It was
fly?
'.... i '-.y mtw.
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER.
no uncommon experience for the
Standard Oil Company to discover
that Its competitors had lower rates
than it wns shipping under.
"The assertion so often made by
careless and sensational writers and
critics that 'rebates' were the basis
of Standard Oil prosperity Is abso
lutely untrue. Its prosperity has
come through its correct apprehen
sion of the possible, magnitude and
importance of the petroleum business
through its having provided better
and more economical methoda for
doing the business than have Its com.
petltors, and through a better service
to the public in price and quality
than others have given.
"It has made the petroleum In
dustry great; has held it for thlB
country as against foreign competi
tors, and we assert has been a bless
ing and not a bane to the country.
Its downfall through any cause would
be a National disaster."

PLAN EXPERIMENTAL
Iiouiiparte Convinced That Govern"
ineiit by Administration of TraM'
Can End Restraint "f Trade
First Move I Against the Ameri
can Tobacco Company.
Washington, July 11. The Har
vester Trust Is likely to bo reached
l-y the Administration's new anti
trust weapon, the use of Injunctions
and receiverships. Tho application
of thlB method to the Powder aud
Tobacco Trusts had already been de
termined upon. It Is assumed that
Hie first move will be made against
the Tobacco Trust, for a bill In equity
U to be filed In New York against
thx combination.
The case ot the Powder Trust di
ffer? somewhat from that of the To
bacco Turst, as there is only one
holding company for the latter. Both
pre regarded as good targets for the
new method, however, for both are
accused of violating the Sherman
law.
Naturally the plan Is only experi
mental as yet, and th Government
will have to he guided by the steps
taken after it Is put Into execution.
It goes without saying, howevtc, that
no such radical ami iar-reaching
scheme would have been adopted
without the fullest consideration as
to Its probable success. Experiment,
al as It Is, Mr. Bonaparte aud Mr.
Purdy are convinced that It Is fcasl.
Mo, and no one has the least doubt
that If feasible It will be tremendous,
ly effective.
Heretofore one of tho great argu
ments against trust prosecutions has
been that they are as unprofitable as
they aro expensive. It costs vh:
exertion and much money 10 convict
a trust, and when the Government
has secured a conviction the trust
goes on doing business Just about
as It did before. All the punishments
bo far devised have proved ineffect
ive except Imprisonment, and Imprls.
onment has not been tried because
of tho enormous difficulties In the
way.
This argument, it Is believed, will
be exploded by the new process. Sim.
pie as Is the remedy, it would un
questionably be effective, for the
reason that the Government could
administer the trust's affairs Itself
through the receiver and compel the
abolition of restraint of trade.
None of the officials of the Ameri
can Tobacco Company was willing to
nifcko any comment on the situation.
The company has known for a
number of months that the Govern
ment was Investigating itB affairs,
and when the investigators went to
the offices at 111 Fifth Avenue they
were given every opportunity for
finding out what they wished to
know.

MAJOR GEN. J. FRANKLIN BELL,
great a draft on the army, according
to Gen. Bell. Whenever a trained
man Is wanted the army Is called
upon for an officer. This, the Gen
eral says, has resulted In a dearth
of officers aud has left all the regl
ments only partially equipped. The
result Is that tho army Is HI preparo'l
for actual service on quick notice.
"At times like the present It Is
quite Important that our Philippine
Division be kept at a high standard.
ThlB Is well nigh impossible when
the General Staff is continually call

N. Y. MARKET LETTER
(From our Special Correspondent)
WHEAT Thero was a strong rising
trend In the local wheat market dur
ing the week, ns speculative offering
were light, while sellers for the de
cline wero alarmed by further and
more definite reports regarding th
foreign crop situation. Subsequently
selling pressure developed, and the
market closed easy In tone. Since,
the close of Wednesday Liverpool
hod r.indo again of ld to 1 V4 by
the time the local market opened,
while other markets also displayed
s'rongth.
CORN. Although a firm undertone
developed in the corn market early
In the week trading continued quiet
with prices fluctuating within com
paratively narrow limits. Holders
offered sparingly owing to tho higher
Liverpool cable advices and lighter
Argentine shipments for the week
than expected. Later, weaker west
ern wires caused an easier feeling
and the market closed quiet ullli
prices quoted V4C lower toVic higher.
BUTTER. Tho position of the high
est grades of creamery Is a trlita
firmer than It was laflt Wednesday,
but all interests aro opposed to a
higher range In proces. The demand
for storage purposes Is still Insigni
ficant, and some of the largest oht
ators openly assert that they will mt
store butter al present prices.
ClilOKoi;. The market displayed all
the dull features that are expected
immediately after a holiday. Ttij
demand this week has been of mod
erate volume. Small sizes of colored
have had the preference in a ma
jority of tho sales. Out-of-town
dealers have taken white cheese to
Mime extent, but thi'lr purchiuses hat
uot been for quantities of any sice.
Lower prices In English markets
have discouraged shippers to such nu
exteut that the export demand thla
vock has been entirely dormant.
Canadian prices are much lower than
those offered here and It Is fair to
assume that considerable busincNi
has been diverted from the home
market. Flue skims are rated steady.
LIVE POULTRY. Jobbers will tm
oliligded to carry over about 2S
cars, mostly heavy fowls. The de
mand this week has been better than
was anticipated and the quantities
left unsold wer not large. Chink
ens aud light- weighing fowls have

have not been In favor with all class
