to the estimation of those who follow closely be march of carols in Far Eustin countries, Korea is bound to figure largely to the game of International politics within the next, fow years. That' her part will be a passive one. goes without saying. The Empire and its Emperor will continue to be but pawns in the game. But at the same time, the settlement with of the destinies of Korea must be fraught vary grave, islues also for the countries con tiguous to her borders-Japan, China and Russia It is only to be hoped that a pacific understanding will be stablished amongst the nations most nearly concerned and that existant canficting interests will be brought joto unison without delay.

Quito recently recurrent ramburs have been published to the effect that the actual andexa. flon of Korea by Japan"ision the verge of tu!», filmost indeed the process of carrying out the 'annexstion has already been outlined.

The case in which Miss Della Hoard, of No. 49. Hollywood., Road, summoned S. M. E Allana and D. R. Captain for alleged assault on the 6th May-last developed an interesting phase in the Police Cauit this morning, wher John Robertson, of 8, Beaconsfield Arcade described as a commission agant, summance the delcodasis for alleged assault. at No. 43 Hollywood Road on the same date, Mr. W. E. L. Shenlon prosecuted and Messrs. F. P.to Hett and M. R. Harris appeared for Allana and Captain, respectively,

On the fresh charge being mentioned by Mr. Shenton, Mr. Hott said he could not understand his friend's action at all. Mr. Shenton had distinctly said that he would not call any evi dence except the cook and his wife, and now he went and preferred a fresh charge.

His Worship held that the prosecution war entitled to bring the summons,

Mr. Harris said that was one way how the Crown conducted a cake.

His Worship-It's not a Crown prosecution, Mr. Harris.

Mr. Barria-Every prosecution is a Crows prosecution..

Proceeding, Mr. Harris stated that the two previous witnesses had been put in the box and cross-examined. The prosecution now wished to take advantage of a point oh which the two witnesses agreed and took out a summons That fact was evident on that point, from Mr. Shenton's request to bis" Worship to take the two cates together,

Mr. Sheptan—I' did not.

Me. Harris-Excuse me, I heard you suggest to his Worship that the two cases chould be taken together.

Mr. Shenton-Have you any more remarks to'make?

Mr. Heit-It is evidently a coincidence that the two cases should bave beed' fixed for the same day,

His Worship-On your cath; sir, what motiva can you give for the assault ?

· Witgeis—It was a quarrel over money mal- ters. When I first met Miss Huard, she was absolutely in Caplalo's power and I showed her how she could get out of his power. She was apsalutely terrified of Captain whom I first met her and she frequently sent me chits to come and stay in the house.

So that when you say you constituted your- self her protector. you did so as against" Captala? She thought so.

Have you spoken to these people at all in connection with Miss Guard's afairs?—I appt to Captain one chit.

That is to say that Miss Hoard and Captain bad money dealings and, when you appeared on the scene you took the matter in your own bands?-No, I told her how to defy him.

You told her how to dely him ?—Not neces- sarily. I simply said." Dely him." K
