No Prospect Of Peace.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Jaranese are driving the Russians pell-
nell out of Manchuria the prospect for
peoce appears to be remote. While
Ja;an would no doubt be willing to ne
gotiate for peace under present condi-
tons, the Russians cannot be expected
to entertain any proposals of that char
acter that Japan would be likely to
ofior. 1t would probably involve too
much humiliation and too much loss OF
prestige IN the east on the part Of the
Russians.
Tho Manchurian campaign has been
brilliant success for the Japanese, but
the wal is not over unless intervention
of very general character is under
taken FROM outside. Such intervention
is not probable. The present embar-
rasse:l condition of Russia affords to
the other European powers sense OF
relief which they are not likely to de-
prive themselves of in haste.
While Russia is busy with the Japa-
nose, Great Britain is comfortable with
regard to India.

Today's Battle of Bull Run.

Probably not many people, as they
have gone: about their various occupa-
tons today, have stopped to inquire
about the outcome of the great battle
whichis raging in Virginia. The great
est battle fought on American soil since
the War of the Rebellion is now in
progress.
Happily, however, it is a sham battle.
Two divisions Of troops, each COM
posed in part Of regulars and in part
of state militia, one under the COM
mand of General Grant and the other.
under the command of General Bell,
are drawn up today on the historic
field Of Bull Run. The whole maneu-
yer is under the direction Of General
Corbin, but each division commander,
acting in the capacity of the general
of an opposing army, is expected to
work out his own plan of battle and
attack and repulse according to his
theories of warfare.
The demand for military maneuvers
Of this character was first made in the
early eighties when several. thousand
regulars were assembled in the Depart
ment Of the Missouri under General
Brook. General Miles utilized the OPP
portunity in 1894, when troops were
gathered to suppress the Chicago riots,
to drill them en- masse. When the Span
ish war broke out the need of such prac-
tice was keenly felt, and much Of the
delay experienced in getting into &C
tion was due to the necessity of giving
some of our high-titled soldiers lit
tie experience in handling men en-
masse. 1t developed at that time that
there were colonies in the regular army
who had never drilled whole regi-
ment, but who found themselves COM
PEELED to handle a whole brigade. Even
Shafter, commanderin-c chief, is said to
have never Unanswered a whole brig
ade. except for parade purposes, before
he was called upon to command the
Fifth army corps. The same was true
in the Philippines where officers were
obliged to learn the art of handling
troops by brigade, division and corps
by experience in the field. r<~
The object of these maneuvers or
the battlefield of Bull Run is to afford
the officers Of both regulars and mill
tia some experience of this kind and
make our military machinery available
if we should, have occasion to use it
by afforling those who are expected tc
operate it little practical experience
How important this is we have hat
recent demonstration, for, while the
army was not ready for immediate use
the regulars being too few and the off
GERS inexperiencedsin practical warfare
the navy was rendy for business a.
once when the Spanish war broke out
It had learned how to shoot. Prior tt
the outbreak of that war, thru the in
IF sistence of then Assistant Secretar,
Roosevelt, the navy had been supplied
with ammunition and given valuable
instruction in naval craftsmanship. Til,
result was at once apparent in our con
test with Spain. Our gunners coult
shoot. Spain S could not. Nobody ha
ever questioned the wisdom of havin,
in time of peace taught our sailors hov
to fight, and the same justification 70
such forethought with regard to TIL
navy iustifies the maneuvers which ar
taking place today on the battlegroun,
of Bull Run.

WiJU OPEN TO THE WORLD.
japan's Friendship for the United
States Shown in this Action.
(By the Associated Press }


Washington, Feb. 17.-Mr Allen, the
American Minister at Seoul cables the
State Department that Wiju has been de-
clared open to the commerce of the world
by the Korean government.
The United States was the first power,
as far as is known, to apply to the Ko-
rean government for the opening of Wiju
to the worlds trade. This action was
taken while Japan and England were urg-
ing the opening of Yongampo, lying at
the mouth Of the Yalu River on the 10
rean side The view taken by the State
Department was that if we could secure
the opening of Wiju, $50 miles up the
Yalu above Yongampo, the effect would
be practically to open the whole OF thai
stretch OF the river to commerce, so that
the project really was much larger than
the mere opening of a port at the mouth
of the river. Wiju lies on the opposite
side OF the river and very near to Antung
nj Manchuria, which the Chinese govern
ment already has by treaty with the
United States declared to be an open
port, although this never has been ad-
mitted by Russia. / is understood shat
the opening of Wiju is directly attribu-
table to Japanese ascendancy in Korea,
influences Mr.. Allen, the American Min
lister, was unable to induce the King to
| open a single port in addition to Chem
ulpo. 1t is probable that the State De
partment at once will take steps to have
America represented at Wiju by CON
sular or commercial agent.
