DENIED TRANSPORTATION.
Russian Marines Forced to March to
Corean Capital.

Acting Secretary Loomis today received
a cable message from United States Minis
ter Allen at Seoul, Corea, saying that the
Russian marines landed at Chemulpo, hav-
ing been refused railroad transportation to
Seoul, have started to march overland to
the Corean capital. The United States ma
rineS sent to Seoul to protect the United
States legation at Seoul were granted per-
mission to use the railroad.
Minister Aliens dispatch is very brief,
reading simply: Russian marines marched
today yesterday to Seoul"
THE impression prevails at the State De-
partment that the march was made within
the day, for Seoul Is distant from Chemul-
DO only twenty-five miles, with a good road
connecting. The railroad between the points
is a single line steam road, and owing to
its meager equipment it is believed at the
State Department that the Japanese OFF,
GERS declined to transport the Russian ma
rines over it only because Of lack of rolling
stock.
1t is understood that the purpose In send
ing American marines in such haste to the
Corean capital ahead of all European ma
rines was because of q desire to protect not
only the American legation at the Corean
capital, but also the property of the Che
mulpo electric railway and the electric light
works In both of which Americans are in
terested largely. Messrs. Colbrand and
Bostwick, the former naturalized Amerl-
can citizen, built this railway, and also the
railway connecting Seoul with Chemulpo.
which latter property ultimately was pur-
chased by the Japanese.
There are other large American interests
in Corea; in fact, 1t is said at the State De-
partment. that they are perhaps more Inn
portant than those OF any other nation.

ported on the 9Th instant, is likely seriously

Tender to This Government From the

Ambassador Jusserand.

The Secretary of State has received
through M. Jusserand, the French ambas-
sador, a formal tender from the ladies of
France of the bust of Washington, which,
from an accompanying photograph, appears
to be of exceeding beauty. The offer Will
be submitted by Secretary Hay to Con-
gress, with a recommendation that 1t be
accepted and provision made for cere-
monial installation. The ambassadors note
is as follows.

The Russian officials were invisible to-
day, owing to it being the Russian Christ
mas holiday. The situation appears to be
unchanged. Diplomats today reiterated
that war with Japan was not likely. The
people generally are absolutely apathetic,
the merchants alone showing uneasiness.
All classes of the unofficial world would
welcome any peaceful solution. The crisis
occasions remarkably little comment among
the general public.
Russia's Reply Unsatisfactory.

silent concerning the terms Of the Russian

says that the reply is unsatisfactory to ia

the question of Corea.
He says that the Russian government in

sideration. and If convinced that Russia's
protestationS are honest, and that there is
chance for peace, she will continue the
negotiations At the same time the minis
try Is unQualifedly opposed to long de-
lay
It Is becoming apparent that Japan would
resent any intervention upon the part of
any Of the outside powers in the extremity
of the crisis. 1t Is thought possible here
that the United States might intervene.
Such Intervention, the Japanese say, would
be unjust and only create delay, which
would be advantageous to Russia.
