According to one of them, tbe Koreans nave nlr been tha Japanese instruments for creating such a situation as would justify the abdication of the Emperor and the practical annexation of Korea by SURE KOREA WILL FIQHT.

H. B. Hulbert Saya the People Are Being Made Desperate. Homer B. Hulbert, for several years tethnately asaocfated with the Korean Court and a confidential adviser to the spod Emperor of Korea, who haa Juat torn to America, said yesterday: Knowing, aa I do, tha Korean tempera-ent and tha policy which Japan baa pursued in the penlnaula, I am able to pradlct that Japan will obtain peace there nW bv the decimation of the people.

It 1 hard to arouse the Koreans to tha fl-htlng point They are almost Infinitely patient, but drive them to desperation and they will turn on their tormentor as they did In 1592,. and then nothing but extermination will give Japan Pe there. But to exterminate 13.000,-toO Deool. or even to beat them Into eulescenca. will be no easy task.

And woe eould blame the Koreana If they Jtould turn upon those who are trampling "era to the ground? An American offl-er once told roe that no one would care to kelp the Koreans until tbay showed a disposition to help themselves. "Many believe tha Koreana have not nouth virility to turn upon the Japanese, at thoo who know thorn best think dif-wiry. The Koreana are fast epproaeh--withe turning point, and despair will arffthera to resistance even though It be Suicidal.

The manner In which the abdication Of the Korean Emperor was brought about demands some explanation. Marquis Ito denir any connection whatever with the event, but no Korean Cabinet would dream of proposing to the Emperor auch a traitoreu plan a this without being driven to; it by the threats of tbe Japanese, i One of the most notorious of the Korean agent of Japan ta the Home Mln-Jeter.

These Korean would meet Instant death at the hand of the Korean people If they were not guarded by the Japanese troops. "It Is worth whols asking what the Jspanese expect from this forced abdication.

In the first place they wlxh publicly to reprimand the Emperor for daring to send a protest to The Hague. In the second place It Is to pave the way for the setting aside of the entire dynasty and the annexation of Korea by Japan." IRISH AGAIN DIVIDED.

NO PENDING DIFFERENCES Investment In German Securities Talked of, but the French Gov. ernment Opposes It.

PARIS. July 2L The recent talk of a rapprochement between France and Germany appears to have little chance of realization. The Prince ef Monaoo nas been tbe prime mover In' tbe scheme to Induce the two neighbors to bury the hatchet, and fcs seems to havs Impressed certain politicians at Berlin, and possibly the Emperor himaslf, with the idea that by means of an arrangement with France Germany could emerge from the circle which has almost Isolated her. There Is also a considerable faction in France which believes that France should cease to play England's gams, and that her surest guarantee of the peace for which aha atrives would be a frank Understanding with Germany. But the present controlling political powers In the French Government would consider anything in the nature of a rapprochement with Germany nothing short of treachery to the alliance, and the series of friendships which France has so Industriously built up In recent years.

It is authoritatively explained that with due regard to her alliance and friendships, France could and would be willing to make a special arrangement with Germany covering some particular point of difference, and for that purpose Jules Cambon. the French Ambassador at Berlin. Is ready to receive any communication tbe German Government maw care to make. But, as pointed out here, there are no pending, differences concerning frontier or other matter which eould form the sublect of a aoeclal unwnMnt The last source of special difference disappeared with the adjustment of the Moroccan question by the act of Alge-crras. The only possible basis of an understanding, therefore, would be financial.

France, as the great world banker, has always funds for investment, and many French bankers have long believed that the best way to insure peace with Germany is to Induce heavy French investments in German Industrial enterprises. From a purely business nolnt of view they have also considered such in vestments, which pay to 7 per cent, against 3 or 4 obtainable in France, aa a good thing. But the French Oovern-ment has heretofore steadily osposed the nnancing or. uerman enterprises, and what money has gone to Germany has done so In spite of the Government's attitude, It is along these lines alone that some sort of an understanding seems possible. But here, too, at the very outset political considerations enter.

Germany is willing to have French capital embark with German money in the Bagdad Railroad, but onlv on condition that Ensrlanl and Russia be excluded. For France such conditions are imoosslble of accem- ance. It must also be borne in mind that Premier Clemenceau is a strong partisan of the British-French combination, and as long as ne nas tne helm nothing is likely to be done which would be remotely prejudicial to English Interests. -rne indication, tnererore, are tnat nothing in the direction of a rapproche ment with Germany will be accomplished for tne dui tnat t-Tance win simply seek to maintain the present good relations with Germany, which Foreign Minister Pichon, in his recent speech before the Chamber, described as better than they had been for years. ALARM OVER FRENCH ARMY.

Newspapers Say the Country Should Heed Gen. Hagron'a Warning. PARIS. July 21. Gen.

De la Croix will succeed Gen. Ilagron as Commander in Chief of the army in case of war. Gen. Tremeau, commander of the Sixth Army Corps, has been appointed simply to take Gen. Hagron's place on the General Staff.

While there is universal recognition that Gen. De la Crojx is the most brilliant officer in tbe array. Gen. Hagron's retirement as aa open protest against the new two-year service law and the discharge of the conscripts of 1803-04 has created a sensation. The anti-Government papers, especially the Reactionary organs, think that the country should heed the warning, as It shows, they say, that the present Socialistic regime Is willing to sacrifice even the Interests of national defense for political capital.

The Independent 'Conservative papers, auch a The Journal des Debate and Tbe Temps, also severely criticise the Cabinet for supporting laws which reduce the army to the danger "point. The Socialistic organs, however, express no regret The Human! te ridicules aa vain a protest against the unanimous decision of the Republican group In the Chamber of Deputies. Action says that Gen. Hagron has given the soldiers a fine example of discipline in refusing to obey the decisions of Parliament and the President. PARIS ART COLONY'S APPEAL.

American Association Is Not Self-Sup-Porting and Needs Funds. PARIS, July 2L The American Art Association of Paris, which waa formed in 1890 to further the practical Interests of the American students of art In this city, has issued an appeal for funds. This step was necessitated by the fact that the organisation Is not self-supporting. It was taken because tbe association find itself confronted by a serious financial problem, which seems likely to retard Its Srogress as an Institution, as well as em-arrass It management. Tha American art colony here, which Includes about 1 000 students, has labored zealously for the success of the Institution.

In a publlo statement tbe Governing Board says: The American Art Association falls lamentably to express here In Paris the Interest that art lovers and promoters cf education in America are manifesting In art and education.

Prof. Kuno Francke of Harvard University contributes an sr-tlcle to the Internationale Wochenschrlft of Berlin on the attitude of America toward German art. While, he says, American scholars are full of admiration for Germany's scientific achievements, Ger many is quite without influence upon the artlatlo development of America, except In the special field of music Even educated German-Americans are convinced that there is no German art outsld of music, and professors of art in American universities are Ignorant of the works of leading German painters and sculptors. It la hardly suspected In America that there Is feverish activity in the literary and art life of the Germany of to-day, nor that Germanv Is striving to take tha leading position In this respect among European nations. Prof.

Francke find that one cause of this ignorance Is that the teaching of modern German literature at the American universities and colleges is inade quate, being often given by men who do not Know tneir suDject luuy. The Attempt to show Americans a connected history of the development of German sculpture and architecture throua-h the Germanic Museum of Harvard Unlverslay has not yet been fully successful owing to the lack of a suitable building. It looked at one time aa If the German theatre in America would take tha lead in making the American public acquaint ed witn tne best products or uerman dramatlo literature, but this hope haa been disappointed. The German publlo showed no abiding enthusiasm and the instability. of American taste did the rest, the result being that.

Americans have no idea of the height which German dramatlo art has attained to-day. Prof. 'Francke thinks that tours of a leading German theatrical company to all the great cities of America -would aoon change this con dition of things. the best that Germanv can offer should be shown to the American publlo. A sure outlet lor German art would certainly thus be opened.

NAVY NEEDS TORPEDOES. Capt. Pendleton's View of Our Situa tionInterest In Dewey's Talk. Stttlal la Tht Una York Ttml. PHILADELPHIA, July 21.

The United States Navy is short of reserve ammunition and very far behind other nations In a proper supply of torpedoes, according to Capt. Pendleton. Commandant of the League Island Navy Yard. He eays It would take but a very short time to use all the ammunition now on hand. Capt.

Pendleton and the officers at League Island were much interested in Admiral Dewey's belief, expressed by him In an Interview in Ths New Tork Tikxs to-day, that the next great war would rise from conflict In tbe business of merchant marine on the Pacific While I am not prepared to make any statement on the subject of war with any other nation, and while I don't think there are any immediate prospects of war with Japan or any other country," said tbe commandant, we are trying all the time in the navy to be prepared." In the event of a war at this time, is the navy In a condition or readiness he "was asked. "The United States Navy Is In very good condition. The ships are all in good shape. They are Individually prepared." How about ammunition? The Navy Department says in its reports to Congress that we have not proper reserve ammunition, and are very far behind in the supply of torpedoes. We have boats and ships, and are prepared to use tornadoes, but we haven't got the tor pedoes.

The Bureau of Ordnance haa notified Congress of this fact year after year." Are there enough officers and men? The Bureau of Navigation says we are not very short of men. We all know that we are short of officers, but that will be remedied, as Congress haa taken steps to Increase the facilities of the Naval Academy." UNREST IN PHILIPPINES? Filipinos at Cornell Say Islanders Would Welcome Japanese Rule. ITHACA. N. July 21.

The Filipino colony at the Cornell Summer School is considerably agtlated over what some members of the colony describe as the unrest among the people of the Philippines, which, they say, is not unlike the dltsatlsfactlon that preceded ths outbreak of hostilities against Spain. According to these Filipino, their countrymen are quite miserable under the protection of ths Stars and Stripes; look back longingly to the days of Spanish rule, and would welcome a Japanese invasion that might free them from American tyranny. Pedro Tuason, a law student who came here from Washington, and R. Agcaoli, another Filipino Summer student, were particularly bitter in recent public utterance. Addressing a large audience of university men in Barnes Hall, Tuason characterized the American attitude to the Filipinos as unintelligent.

Particularly, he said, tbe Filipinos resented being looked upon aa an Inferior people. The United State had taken away tbe islands market in Spain and had established a tariff that precluded the acquisition of other market. By thl economic more hateful to the Filipinos than the political and ecclesiastical tyranny of Spain, the Philippines were threatened with Impoverishment. Agcaoli declared that his countrymen were steeply grateful to the Spaniards, who had given their wards a thorough and congenial civilization." and had laid the foundations for an industrial system. Without thl already established groundwork the American programme of instruction would prove a faroe." Only during the last ten years ef their rule were the Spaniards other than beneficent tOtheraiifluentlal member! of the Filipino colony hera to-day Indorsed the sentiment expressed by Tuascm and Agcaoli.

Sutphln died yesterday after noon at his home. In Fulton Street, Jamaica, Queens Borough. His death was due to a general breakdown In health. His destronement ss Democratle leader of Queens ten years ago, after he bad led the forces of ths Democracy for nearly a third of a century, waa tbe beginning of the end. He had failed tat health steadily since that time.

Mr. Sutphln was a remarkable man, and waa of a reticent and retiring nature. Hi counsel steered many-enterprise to success. His money saved hundreds, perhaps thousands, of families front destitu tion. He made great sums, of money, and gave it freely to his friends and political acquaintances.

Many a man in Queens who to-day enjoys affluence obtained his start with money furnished by Mr. Sutphln." John H. Sutphln was born In Hlcks- vllle, L. In August, 1833. He came from an old Dutch After com pleting his education Sutphln was elected Justice of the Peace in Jamaica.

He tried one case.

He was likewise made Chairman or the Demo cratic County Central Committee at that time, iiotn oriice neia tor tntrty successive years. On year, when David B. Hill wa defeated for the Governorship, Mr. Sutphln la said to have been the only Democrat elected to sny office In the entire State. Mr.

Sutphln had many Republican Indorsements, naturally, made some enemies. He waa morbidly sensitive lest hla wife might see some of the attacks against him In the local presa, and gave strict orders that none of the county papers should ever enter hi home. Ingratitude shown by some of his beneficiaries did not deter blm from giving to the next person who told him a hard-luck' story. His gifts not Infrequently were In the thousands, and some of those whose notes for thousands he had torn up aided In his dethronement In18il7. At that time John P.

Madden, since dead, a young man of energy and ability, won the leadership. Ex-Senator James Norton, whom Mr. Sutphln had made politically, cast the deciding vote in the County Committee. Broken in fortune, having given away all he had made, estimated at between $1,900,000 and $2,000,000, Mr. Sutphln wn promised the nomination for County Clerk last November by Borough President Joseph Bermel.

He was turned down again for the last time. Mr. Sutphln married Carrie M. Smith, the daughter of Hulett Smith. They had five children.

He was President of the Jamaica Savings Bank, and held the office when he died. Even after only a remnant of his once large fortune remained Mr. Sutphln'e benefactions were still large.

He had a serious Illness two years ago. and while he was confined In his home fifty-five women, wives and widows of friends, political and personal, whose rent he had been paying regularly, visited his house.
