"The invariable proreedure of the so-called revolutionists was to assemble, usually carrying the national colors and shouting 'Man Be i' (equivalent to the Japanese 'Branri' or to our 'Hurrah').

In other in stances native high school students of both sexes who had joined the pro fessions in behalf of Korean liberty were imprisoned and tortured. The stripping and beating of girl demon strators and the brutal treatment of Korean women by Japanese soldiers were frequent, while bands of armed j Japanese thugs were turned loose upon the Korean crowds. "From March 1 to April 11 361 Koreans were known to have keen killed and 860 wounded. The indignities to a few foreign missionaries and espe cially the arrest and imprisonment of the Bev. Eli M. Mowry are already well known in America." The commission also makes public part of a cablegram from Viscount Vchida, minister of foreign affaire in Tokio, wherein he confirms the assar anees of Premier Hara that the Utter is striving to remedy the Korean trouble. The inquiry was undertaken, the commission says, at the request of rep resentatives of the Presbyterian -and Methodist churches and the American Jlible Society. It was based upon revel ations made by the Bev. A. E. Arm strong, secretary of the Board 1 of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian church of Canada, who returned to the . trailed State from Korea tas,t April. Conferences bejjsn here last April to two of which a group of influential Japanese were invited. The Japanese government was kept informed of the disclosures. The documents given out, it is said, were compiled with the aid of more . than thirty American and Britons in Korea. One such report estimated that more than 6,000 Koreans were in prison for political offenses. FURTHER DECLINES i FOREIGH EXCHANGE MARKET. New York, July 16.
