Viscount Hayashi,1 the Japanese* Foreign Minister, interviewed, described the ex-Eniperor of Korea as » spoilt despot, always intent on the" selfish exploitation of Koreans.
"If Korea's fate be regarded as alesson by China,, it should be a warning to her to put her house in order before some strong nation does so for her, imitating the recent events at Seoul.
