They are quite willing, if passible, to establish meraly `a apopies of Protectorate under which, while directed in its more important issues by Japan, Korea should still be in name and to some extent in practice, under a Korean Government. Such a state of affairs would afford an opportunity of ascertaining the one essential fact aamely whether Korea could be permitted, to continue to givers itself or not, or whether it was essential for CELEBRATED its own welfare and for the presstration_of peaca in the East that it should fall under the 'dorainion of Japan. The Intter event has come about far more rapidly than was at all anticipated; and thera con bã no question that the convention which has been recently signed has the effect of placing Korea definitely under the domination, of Japan.
