An authorised statement has been issued con cerning what claims to be one of the largest combinations in the world for the building and complete equipment of war vessels and other ships. Negotiations have been carried ou for some moztle between Sir Charles McLaren, M... chairman of John Brown and Co. (Limited), and Lord Pirzie, the obairman of Harland and Wolf (Limited), for a union of interests between the two firms. The terms finally arranged and approved by the board John Brown and Co., pre ide not for au amalgamation, but for an exchange of a certain proportion of shares in the two Brms, which will eneure friendly co-operation in atters of buai- ress and fonden.

Thus the disposition of the Korcaus to asociate with or servo the strong sal has always tended to impair the indepudence of Keres, and Japan stood in a position to protect Korean independence to the nimest on every occasion that that independence was threat shad At last the name of Korea was changed from Chosen to Konkaoku, and the King becotas Emperor. The country was divided into thirteen provinces instead of sight, pod Korea was maintaining her independence under the protection of Japan. It was a pity that Le Koreans were given to misunderstanding Japan. thinking that abe was striving to deprive Korea uf ber independence, and entirely overlooking the fact that Japan had saved Korea trom the yoke of China, and placed heren an independent basis.

Viewed from the point of the interest of Japan, it was expedient that Korea should remain independent, continued the Marquie. If Korea fell into the hands of another Fower it would be a cause of mexace to Japan, which was sparated from the Feninsula only by
