OPEN TO THE WORLD.
United States First Power to Ask for
Wiju's Opening.

Washington. Feb. mir. Allen the
American minister at Seoul, cables the
strte department that Win has been
declared open to the commerce of the
world by the COrean government
The United States was the first DOW
err, so far as known to apply to the
Corean government for the opening OF
Win to the worlds trade. This action
WAS taken while Japan and England
were urging the opening of Yongam-
pho. lying at the mouth of the Yalu
river on tine Corean side. The view
taken by the state department was
that if we could secure the opening OF
Win. $50 miles up the Yalu above
Yongampho, the effect would be to
practically open the whole of that
stretch of the river to commerce, so
that the project really was much lar
gov than the mere opening of a port
at the mouth of the river.
Win lies on the opposite side of the
river and very near to Antung in Man.
cEuria which the Chinese government
already had by treaty with the United
States declared to be an open port al
though this never has been admitted
by Russia. 1t is understood that the
opening OF Win is directly attribut-
able to Japanese ascendancy in Corea,
for while the country was under Rus
sim influences, Mr.. Allen. the Ameri-
can minister, was unable to induce the
king to open a single port in addition
to Chemulpo. Tt is probable that the
state department at once will take
steps to have America represented at
Wiju by a consul or commercial agent.

PROTECT OUR FATHERLAND"
Text of Russian Troop Order Issued
by Viceroy AIexieff.

Port Arthur, Tuesday, Feb. 1G.-The
text of the order of the day issued to
the Russian troops by Viceroy -Alexieff.
(Tuesday) was as follows:
"A heroic army and fleet have been
entrusted to me by His Majesty, the
Emperor, and now when the eyes Of
that Car of Russia and of the world
are upon us, we must remember that 1t
is our sacred duty to protect the Gar
and the fatherland. Russia is great
and powerful and if our foe is strong,
this must give us additional strength
and power to fight him. The spirit of
the Russian soldiers and sailors is
high. Our army and navy know many
renowned names which must in this
hour serve as an example to us. Our
God, who has always upheld the cause
that is just, is doing SO now. Let us
unite for the coming struggle: let ev-
cry man be of tranquil mind in order
to better fulfil his duty, trusting in the
help of the Almighty, and let every
man perform his task, remembering
that prayer to God and service to the
Emperor are never wasted.
Long live the Emperor and the IA
thcrand. God will be with us. Hur-
rah."

A BIG JAPANESE FORCE
About to Be Landed in Vicinity OF
Port Arthur.

Paris. Feb. 17-An official dlspatcn
received here. "Wednesday hori'il'f''
from Toxic, announces that one Oh INC
most important movements OF Japa-
neso troops vet made is occurring. one
of the main branches of the army con-
sisting of three divisions and including
a division of Guards, is now going on
board transports.
The previous landings of Japanese
forces in Corea and elsewhere are said
to have been small compared with the
simultaneous sailing of three divisions.
aggregating approximately an army of
30, 900 or $4,000 men. The japanese. it
is added, have taken every precaution
to prevent information from going out
regarding the embarkation and desti-
nation of these armies.
1t is believed that the destination OF
this force is Il point near the mouth of
the Yalu river or a spot on the Lao
Tung peninsula. flanking Port Arthur.
Another official dispatch says a Jap
anese transport has been sighted off Il
town south of the mouth of the Yalu
river. This it is added, is not con-
nected with the embarkatiOn of the
three divisions referred to. but is con-
| sidered to be Il confirmation of the re-
ports that the town off which the tram
sport was seen is to be one of the bases
of the land operations of the Japanese.

Troubles in China.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Rear Admiral
Evans. commanding the Asiatc sta
ton, today, transmitted to the navy
department a cablegram from Com
mander Staunton of the gunboat
Helena, now in mud dock at Niu-

conditions there are greatly disturbed
and that he is vigorously investigating
the report that the Russian officials
have delayed certain American and
British merchantmen.
In the event that the American con-
sulate is endangered. it is stated that
Commander Stanton will land blue
jackets and marines for the protection
of Consul Miller. There is every wish
on the part of this government not to
give the slightest cause for complaint
by either Russia or Japan of inter-
ventiOn, but the unalterable American
policy of protecting American interests
at all hazards will be adhered to.
