Pastor Kil was the only absentee; he had been temporarily delayed on his journey from Pyeng-yang. Some prominent Japanese had been invited to eat with the Koreans. After the meal, the Declaration was produced before their guests and read. It was despatched to the Governor-General.
Still, despite the troops, the people held two or three patriotic meetings. Let me tell the tale of Tuesday and Wednesday from two statements made by Dr. Moffett. These statements were made at the time to the officials in Pyeng-yang and in Seoul: "On Tuesday, March 4th, I, in company with Mr.
On a fixed day we shall send word to our patriots in the north, in the south, in Pyeng-yang and Kyung Sang, to rise and drive away all Japanese from the various ports, and although your soldiers are skillful with their guns it will be very hard for them to stand against our twenty million people.
These, Kim told me, were the Tiger Hunters of Pyeng-yang, the fiercest and most terrible fighting men of which Cho-Sen could boast. But enough. On mere description of the Emperor's palace a thousand pages of my narrative could be worthily expended. Let it suffice that here we knew power in all its material expression.
Mowry was detained on the charge of sheltering Korean agitators. Mr. Mowry had allowed five Korean students wanted by the police to remain in his house for two days early in March.

"This is the centre of the present uprising. It is not in Seoul but in Pyeng-yang. "It is impossible to know whether these statements are true or false, but we feel certain that it is in Pyeng-yang, in the Church schools, in a certain college and a certain girls' school in the compound of these foreigners. Really this foreign community is very vile." A veritable reign of terror was instituted.
McCune, who, according to the confessions, distributed revolvers among the conspirators and told them at Sun-chon that he would point out the right man by shaking hands with him. Dr. Moffett of Pyeng-yang, Dr.
It takes the cold patience of the Asiatic to conceive and execute huge and complicated conspiracies. The strength of Chong Mong-ju's palace clique grew beyond Yunsan's wildest dreaming. Chong Mong-ju corrupted the very palace guards, the Tiger Hunters of Pyeng-Yang whom Kim commanded.
Hear the tale of An Sei-whan. As An was called up in the Appeal Court, a wave of pity passed over the white men there, for An was a miserable object, pale and emaciated. He was a consumptive and afflicted with other ills. He had been in the Christian Hospital at Pyeng-yang most of the winter, and had nearly died there.
