FOR A TREATY WITH RUSSIA.
United States Will Endeavor to Give
Corporations Right to Enter Suits.

st. Petersburg. April 4-Ambassador
Mccormick Is negotiating with the
foreign office for a treaty with Russia
which will give the United States corr
porations the right to sue in Russian
courts and to Russian corporations the
right to sue in courts of the United
States. Under the Russian law. Unit
ed States corporations can be sued,
but cannot sue in the courts of the
empire. This has caused United States
firms great annoyances, as well as
losses in the past. In addition, the
ambassador hopes to secure in the
treaty a broad clause which will auto
matically give the United States cor
porations all pAvileges, of whatever
character now enjoyed by the corpora :
tions of any foreign country.

Shanghai, April 4.--A letter receiver
here from Kobe. Japan, says that the
japanese government has 100000 troops
in motion and fully $4,000 more under
arms in garrisons and at tepots. Inese
rnmbers are exclusive of the third re-
serves, numbering 10000, which have
not been called to colors. The exact
srsfTsfnr 81 troops pstlfch have iest
Japan for various destinations Is not
known. but the entire first army has
been landed and has established itsef
Il in northwestern Korea, with its main
base at chinampho. The Japanese
general stafY still carefully guards the
plan Of campaign, but It is generally
believed will operate three armies, each
nonninally numbering 100000 men. the
second army landing west of the Yaln
] river and third army east OF New
Chwang. The landing of the latter
two armies will be easily accomplished
for light cruiser squadrons can protect
both movements.
ii is thought the landing OF heavy
Japanese force west of the mouth OF the
Yaiu will force the Russians to aban-
don fortifications which they have
erected north of the Yalu for the pur-
pose OF opposing crossing of the first
army of Japan from Korea.
> II is also anticipated the three great
Japanese forces will operate in con-
junction, the third army, swinging
eastward of New Chwang and seizing
or. cutting the railroad, then engaging
tn a turning movement against the
main Russian position.
The japanese are confident the Rus
slams will be unable to transport sup
plies sufficient to maintain in Man
cturia force larger than 100000 men.
The heavy detachments necessary to
guard railroad and supply bases will.
It is claimed, reduce the Russian fight
ing force to about 100000 men. The
Japanese are requesting thousands of
horses and it is probable a considerable
detachment of cavalry will accompany
each army. Much Japanese artillery IS
departing from the front. The guns
seem light. but it is believed the Jap
anese have number of heavy batter
les equal In range to the European field
artillery.
It seems certain Vice Admiral Togos
failure to effectually dispose of the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur has de-
layed Japanese land operations. Al
general thaw is now proceeding in
Korea and Manchufla, rendering the
country roads impossible and making
1t impossible to conduct general mill
tary operations until the ground har-
dens.
