pared with this simultaneous sailing Of

mately an army of 10000 to $4,000 men.
1t is believed, but this is not sure, that
the destination Of this force is point

spot on the Liao-Tung Peninsula, flank

Atlanta, Special.-The Florida Linn

road, south bound, was wrecked eight
miles from this city Tuesday. The

were injured, two Of whom may die.
The seriously injured were: Mrs. Eos

Open to the World.

Washington, Special.-Mr. Allen, the
American minister at Seoul, cables the
State Department that Win has been
declared open to the commerce of the
world by the Korean government.
The United States was the first
power SO far as known, to apply to the
Korean government for the opening OF
VIII to the worlds trade. This action
was taken while Japan and England
were urging the opening OF Iong-am-
pho, lying at the mouth of the 1alu
river on the Korean side. The view
taken by the State Department was
that if we could secure the opening OF
VIII $50 miles up the Yalu above
Yong-am-pho, the effect would be to
practically ODen the whole Of that
stretch of the river to commerce, so
that the project really was much
larger than the mere opening Of port
at the mouth OF the river. Wiju lies on
the opposite side of the river and is
very near to Antung in Manchurla
which the Chinese government has al
ready by treaty with the United States
declared to be an open port, although
this never has been admitted by Rus
STA. It is understood that the opening
of Wiju is directly attributable to ia
panese ascendency in Korea. for while
the country was under Russian infiu-
ences Mr.. Allen, the American minis
ter, was unable to induce the King to
open single part in addition to Chem
ulpo. 1t is probable that the State De-
partment at once will take steps to
have America represented at Win by
a consular or commercial agent.
