London, Aug. 9.
In the House of Commons to-day Lieutenant-Colonel T. H. Parry asked a question with the alleged attempt by police to board the British steamer, Kueilin, owned by Mr. George L. Shaw, with the object of arresting Koreans, suspected of being on board, and a subsequent attempt to raid Mr. Shaw's house for a similar purpose.
Mr. Cecil Harmsworth, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, replied that the Japanese Consul-General at Mukden had made a private complaint against Mr. Shaw's sympathetic attitude to Korean agitators. It was alleged that Mr. Shaw kept one of the upper rooms of his house at Antung as an asylum for Koreans, plotting against the Japanese, and allowed Koreans to use his steamers as a means of flight and of communication with the Korean 2 aa Government at Shang-
The British Consul-General had consequently privately—warned Mr. Shaw to be careful. The British Ambassador at Tokio, who had reported fully on the subject, had not mentioned the story with regard to the alleged attempt to board the steamer or to raid Shaw's house.—Reuter.
