Causes Comment at Picking.

Peling Sept. 4-Telegrams received here fron
Port Arthur give details of the reported recent
stopping by japanese gunboat of the steamer
Stanley Dollar, owned by an American. as the
steamer was attempting to enter Yongampho.
at the mouth Of the Yalu River, Corea, to load
lumber from the Russian concession on that
river The Japanese did not forcibly oppose the
vessel entering the port. but protested strongly
against her taking lumber on board on the
ground that Yongampho was not an open port
The captain of the Stanley Dollar telegrapned
to the Russian company at Tien-Tsin which
had chartered the Stanley Dollar. and ulti-
mateIy loaded the vessel. which is now supposed
to be on her way to Dalny.
The japanese Legation here is without IN
formation regarding the incident which has ere
ated much comment. 1t is not known whether
the Japanese commander acted on his own re-
sponsibility or instructions from his govern
ment. If his action was due to orders from the
government there is much curiosity TO know how
Japan intends to support her protest.
