1. 8월 5일

2
5th. Thursday.(8th of 7th Moon). Rain.
 
3
For the last 5 days not a day but several fits of heavy and torrential showers.
4
At 5 p.m. called on Dr. Jaisohn. He said that Yi Wan Yong has already been told twice to resign but that he would not. Waeber is "hugging" tight Han Kiu Sul and Kim Kong Niuk. According to the Doctor, the Palace has more than once requested the American Legation to stop the Independent, that the Palace and the Household Deptartment have thrown obstacles on obstacles in the way of building the Arch; that Min Yong Huan refused to do certain things in France and Germany which His Majesty had entrusted to him.
5
As the Independent Club, so called, is doing no good, I suggested that we might organize it into a sort of a General Knowledge Association, provided with a lecture room, a reading room and museum. Dr. Jaisohn said that he had suggested the same to the Club but that nobody seemed to care for it.

8th. Sunday. Rain.
 
8
Without doubt this has been one of the meanest Summers I have ever seen-rain, wind, heat turn and turn about.
9
In the Club this p.m. Dr. Jaisohn and I strongly recommended turning the Club into some sort of useful institution. It was finally resolved to appoint a committee of three to draw up a set of rules with the view to organize the Club into a kind of debating society. Kwon Chai Hiung, Pak Sei Huan and I were appointed the committee.
10
Dr. Jaisohn is an ambitious man who wants to dictate everything. He is energetic, determined and shrewd. Certainly he is a man Corea may be proud of. He lectures to, and deals with, the Ministers and Vice Ministers, old or young, with as much authority as if they were a lot of children naughty children at that. Many of them wince under his unceremonious handling, but Uncle Sam's flag protects him from their wrath, while the contract for 10 years of $300.00 per month saves him from the necessity of currying their favor.

The 505th anniversary of the Foundation of the present Dynasty. According to previous arrangements, a public meeting was held in the Independence Hall under the auspices of the Independence Club. Among the guests were the members of the U.S. Legation, the English Consul General, the Japanese Minister, a large number of Japanese. No German, only two Russians. The program was:
23
It was noticeable that Yi Yun Yong, the Serpent, and his brother, Yi Wan Yong, stayed outside of the Hall until the meeting was pretty well over. I suppose they were in fear of some gunpowder plot.
24
Fortunately the day passed without rain.
 
 

4. 8월 15일

26
15th. Sunday. Cloudy.
 
27
His Majesty decreed the change of the name of the year from Kon Yang(建陽) to Kuang Mu(光武) . What a humbuggery all this!
28
It is positively stated by those who know the inside business of the Palace that Joo Seuk Mion(朱錫冕) , is to be made the Vice Minister of War. No wonder; they want some one in that Department who will be pliant to the Russian wishes.
29
From 4 to 7 p.m. in the Club. A debating society organized.
 
 

5. 8월 17일

31
17th. Tuesday. Varied.
 
32
At 5 p.m. went to the Palace and at 9 had an audience. Presented to His Majesty my father's birthday gift of $500.00.
33
The King said laughingly: "We have had no such custom since two years ago. Your father always sticks to old usages. Tell him that it is a nonsense." Then he told me to keep the money until called for.
34
I said to His Majesty, "There is much talk about a possible war between Japan and Russia. But should good government prevail in Corea, no foreign disputes would disturb us. It is therefore very necessary to keep the people in peace and quiet. All measures harmful to the people, such as miscellaneous taxes, gold diggings and collection of cancelled public debts etc, should be abolished."
35
His Majesty listened to me graciously but I knew too well that I was talking in vain.
36
Yi Chai Yon told me that Yi Wan Yong, the Minister of Education, wishes to recommend me to His Majesty for the position of the Vice President of Education but that Mr. Waeber is strongly opposed to it. A plausible excuse but a pretty little story. Yi Wan Yong wants to give that place to Min Sang Ho. In fact, I think Yi Wan Yong would have anybody there but me.
37
Am told that Yi Pom Chin has written to His Majesty accusing Min Sang Ho of being too intimate with Prince Wui Hua and of carrying on communications with Pak Y.H.

19th. Thursday. Rain.
 
40
Beginning about 6 p.m. last evening, one steady stream of rain all through the night up to 5 p.m. today. This mean season of water is enough to make a saint swear.
41
Laura is growing brighter every day. She has an instinctive dislike for disorderliness. When she sees a whip or an umbrella on the floor she picks it up and places it in a corner. She loves her mamma passionately and it is beautiful to see how one maternal touch cheers the little girl even in her worst mood. This morning I came to my study without my spectacles and was just proceeding to write a letter when the door opened softly and in came Laura holding, in her little hand, my spectacles which she brought of her own accord.

20th. Friday. Cloudy.
 
44
At 12 called on Mr. Waeber expressly for the purpose of asking him two questions:
45
1st. Now that Mrs. Waeber has been long enough in Petersburg, has he (Mr. Waeber) heard from her anything definite about what I ever said or did in Russia against his reputation or interest? 2nd. Is it true that he has been using his influence against my reappointment to my old position in the Education Department?
46
To the first question, Mr. Waeber said:
47
"I have received three letters from my wife since her return. But in none of them has she ever mentioned your name in connection with anything unpleasant. The fact of the business is that we were fully satisfied with the explanations you gave us on your return to Seoul in February."
48
His answer to the 2nd question was:
49
"I have had no say so one way or another on the subject of your reappointment. If I were to have any say so in matters of this sort, I would not let my personal feelings interfere with my judgement. Moreover I know nobody here who is more fit for the position in question than you, on account of your education etc. Only trouble with you is that you are a great pessimist."
50
Mr. Waeber said that he was very sorry for Mr. Min Youg Huan and that the cause of Min's failure seems to have been the influence of his young brother.

52
23rd. Monday. Cloudy.
 
53
Steamy and cloudy. At 3 p.m. a public meeting was held in the Hall of Hunlionwon under the auspices of the Corean Tract Society to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty. Several hundreds of native Christian and other citizens were out and the meeting was conducted as a Christian assembly. Yi Chai Yon, Dr. Jaisohn and I spoke. The large crowd was very orderly and attentive.
54
Neither French nor English Church missionaries were present. It is also noticeable what little interest the foreign employees of the Korean government take in matters national.

25th. Wednesday.
 
57
Yesterday was steamy, sticky and sweaty all the day. As was expected, the wretched day ended in a night of terrific rain. It literally poured in bucketfuls. I was too scared to sleep and wondered how this frail little building could stand the pressure of ten thousands of great sheets of water falling on and against it.
58
It is cloudy this morning.
59
Sunshine in the afternoon.
60
No wonder that a man of influence used to be a man of affluence in Seoul! Everybody who comes to see him on some business gives him something. Why, I myself, though out of the swim now, have had since my return to Seoul no less than 7 or 8 presents, most of which I refused to accept. A friend who is a magistrate sent me $ 40.00!
 
 

10. 8월 29일

62
29th. Sunday. Mixed.
 
63
Rain in the morning; a fair p.m.
64
My Darling, who has been suffering from diarrhoea since the night before the last, is so weak and nervous that she can hardly sleep.
65
Called on my uncle and cousin, who returned to Seoul last night.
66
At 11 a.m. went to the Music Hall(?) next to Dr. Avison's to attend a Presbyterian mass meeting. A very large crowd. Several good talks from native Christians of that Mission. Dr. Jaisohn and I spoke, too. Mr. Speer the secretary of the Presbyterian board of missions who is now attending the annual meeting of his mission here, spoke. He has a beautiful voice, sonorous and liquid. Presbyterians now number nearly 3,000 in Corea, twice as many as what they were last year.
67
At 4 p.m. went to the Club. Our debating society started. Some good thing may be expected of this organization. As soon as the society has assumed a more solid form, a series of lectures should be given by Coreans and foreigners. Then a library-then a recreation room-then a museum.
68
I shall try to introduce debates into all the schools in Seoul, this fall.
69
The more I see and hear Dr. Jaisohn, the more I admire him. He is a ready and forcible speaker.
70
Am told His Majesty has now two schemes which absorb all his attention: one is to become an emperor, the other to kill the rebels, so called, now in Japan. He has a pack of little hell-hounds around him to encourage and fool him in and with these vain schemes.
 
 

11. 8월 30일

72
30th. Monday. Rain.
 
73
This morning called on Mr. Keumure. He asked me if I had written the three letters of "A Corean Abroad" all by myself, saying that Mr. Hutchison thinks I must have had somebody to help me. While this may be taken for a compliment, I can see fully that Hutchison entertains a very poor opinion of my education. Of course there is nothing in this that should hurt me but the discovery of the hollowness of H's professed friendship for me. He flatters every Corean official whom it is his interest to be friend, but as soon as the official loses influence. Away goes H's flattery and friendship.
74
My note to the Independent complaining of an English naval officer who wrote an insulting letter to the Globe on the Corean court has displeased many of the British residents here. Americans compliment me for the note.
75
Cloudy a.m. Torrential rain in the afternoon and far into the night.
